Favourite 5's
I love snapping this kind of post because I love to look at everything in one place. I'm a sucker for styling and making things look perfect!
This week I've been:
*Reading- Facehunter by Yvan Rodic. He snaps some of the best street style seen on the worlds streets.
*Wearing- Ahh, my beautiful leather Preen Edition jacket, there is nothing that this jacket can't do & it's a must-pack for London Fashion Week this season.
Rose gold chunky chain from Forvever 21. They have the largest selection of jewellery in Forever 21 that I think I've ever seen. The prices start from as little as £2.95 too. This class little buy only set me back £3.15!
OAKLEY Frogskins in all black. Now I like Ray-Ban as much as the next girl, but when the sun's out, so are hundreds of pairs of Ray-Bans. That's why I love my Frogskins, similar in shape but timeless in style.
*Carrying- ZARA neon perspex clutch. £18 in the recent SS 13 sale, this little diamond comes in handy to brighten & update any outfit. I love black, so it's perfect to add a splash of colour to my outfits.
I hope you've enjoyed taking a look at my favourite 5's this week!

The skort vibe
The first place I laid my skort hungry blue eyes on 'skorts' was on all the amazing Australian bloggers, for example, Lisa Hamilton of See Want Shop, that girl is effortless!
You can't go wrong with skorts because they are just so.damn.easy to wear. Weather you're vibing it up with an oversized sweat top or pairing it with a boxy tee, they look incredible.
I got my ecru ones from Zara, yes, I love Zara, this fact is known widely.
So here I am, along with a few summery notes, ecstatic from the completion of my Degree and for my new lovely skorts.

Casual neon cool & handbag love
As you will have read in my earlier posts on neon, I'm still a sucker for hints of the bright beautiful neons, and it doesn't look like this colour popping trend is going to go away! I went away to Suffolk this weekend for a rest, post University completion- so I packed this green neon cropped top into my weekend bag and wanted to wear it in a really laid back way (so as not to scare the good people of Suffolk). Aside from almost being run over by the biggest tractor I've ever seen, carrying around 100 bales of hay, I think the outfit went down well!
You can get the 'Nina' neon crop top from So In Fashion, HERE and it's only £16. So whether you're jetting off to somewhere that's hotter than Suffolk and you can pair it with some distressed denim shorts or you just want to wear it in a chilled out, understated way, it's the perfect summer piece.
This bag.....is from Handbag Lover. They bring to us designer inspired bags that are beautifully made, without breaking the bank. I've had nothing but compliments for this 'Chloe' bag and I haven't stopped using it since it arrived last week. Italian leather and only £60, I really couldn't recommend it more. You can get your very own Mulberry inspired tote bag HERE. It comes in grey, navy & tan but I love black bags so I stuck to my old favourite! I don't know about you but, I carry a LOT of stuff around with me on a day to day basis so the size of the bag is perfect.
Neon crop top & 'Chloe' bag styled with:
Large collar white shirt- ZARA
Leather pencil skirt- Vintage
Hi-tops- Converse

Neon inspiration
Neon is everywhere and it doesn't seem to be disappearing! Now I'm partial to a hint of neon, so when this neon coral jersey blazer arrived from Glamorous, I couldn't wait to style it up with some cool tones.
It's pretty heavy weight and feels great on, so when you're buying this item, you're getting something that will see you through a couple of seasons. I find it's a really nice 'throw-on' layer during the day, but it could work well to finish off your LBD on a night out.
You can get it HERE on the Glamorous website! It's £48 and they offer free next day delivery, so it can be with you in time for the weekend.
I styled the blazer with some high waisted washed, mid-blue denim shorts and a loose ecru cropped cami. With neon, the piece is a statement in itself, so the key is to team it with complimentary, cool tones.
Sunglasses: Oakley Frogskins
Bracelet: Hermes

Fashion Blogger Event: Pretty Little Thing
Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to one of the most luxurious Blogger events to date. The Pretty Little Thing new collection launch, held at Rosso in Manchester. Now, I'm quite sceptical when it comes to lower budget brands because I assume that with low price, comes low quality. I was, again, proven wrong on my well established "theory" because Pretty Little Thing not only produced a line that was Topshop-esque in quality (I hold Topshop in high regard surrounding quality for fast fashion) but I would have happily taken the whole rail home with me, to wear, in public.
I wore:
Leather skinnies with gold zips- ZARA
Cream shirt- Reiss
Boucle & leather cardigan- ASOS
Patent black heels- Dune
I honestly cannot wait for these to come out! They are Tres Chic.
A lovely pair of Fashion Blogging Charlotte's! and my partners in blogging crime.

We were treated to a 2 course meal. Even the menu's were made up just for us!
I blame Instagram from this old looking photo (must invest in decent camera!)
Sports Luxe new season hues. Ahhh, beautiful.
Cool neons, maybe too much all at once, but I know you guys are cool enough to pair it all off with cut off denim shorts and muted whites.
I'm a sucker for anything remotely 'boy-ish' so of course, this was going to be a favourite.
I really loved this little playsuit. I'm dreaming of a holiday and feeling like it could be perfect, colour popping beach wear.
Charlotte Goodlass & I were lusting after this black and gold hardware rucksack, not too vintage, just enough chic.

Cutout neon? What more could you need from a summer accent!
Did I mention that myself, Charlotte and the wonderful Laura Logan from Logan's Runway were the last bloggers standing? a few sambuca's, glasses of champagne and wine later.....
Those black sunnies are mine! I love them!
At the moment you lovely lot can get 30% off the entire website if you enter "APRIL30" at the checkout so take my recommendations and go do some damage!
The Pretty Little Thing Blog is something to behold....very cool. You can check it out here
The PLT team are amazing- each and every member made us feel so very important!
We all got to choose an item from the website as a thank you, so as soon as mine arrives, I'll show you.
What do you think about the brand?

Sports Luxe with My Flash Trash
Some of you may already be aware that I recently became an Ambassador for My Flash Trash. I couldn't be more proud to be working alongside such a wonderful, eclectic and cool jewellery boutique - especially when it's owned by the beautiful Amber Atherton, who is somewhat of a style icon to me!
The necklace featured in these posts is one of my most coveted necklaces to date. It's from the Flash Trash Girl collection which is bringing back 90's RAD! brilliantly priced at £30, you can get it here.
I think of it as an 'it' necklace because it is so versatile and can add that touch of neon to any outfit.
I teamed my Neon Star necklace from Flash Trash Girl with my new incredible Sports Luxe oversized tee from Glamorous UK for £21. I love this tee and it screams sports luxe to me! Not too girly but still very chic. You can get it here.
Patterned metallic cigarette pants-TOPSHOP £45 (no longer available)
Cut out boots- TOPSHOP £80 (no longer available)
What do you think about the Sports Luxe trend?

New Neon Spring Summer 2013
I couldn't be more excited about a trend. Neon encapsulates everything I love about fashion. Its bold, daring and you can use a little or a lot to flaunt your individuality.
Note the new Neon, it's prim and pretty - not street
Follow in these fluro footsteps for inspiration to make sure you get it right.

You'll start to notice these bags more and more...the 'candy' bag, they are insatiable! During my time at London Fashion week I saw quite a few. Susie Bubble of Style Bubble was one culprit in particular who pulled hers off effortlessly. I am currently coveting these Furla ones!
