Moroccan Nights

Another blog post for you all today. Ever since I bought this skirt from Topshop I've wanted to blog about it as it's one of those pieces that just makes me so happy every time I wear it. The skirt has embroidery to the front and is plain woven fabric on the reverse. It definitely gives off a Moroccan vibe and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I recently wore it with a tighter black crop top to my friends 21st birthday party and felt really special all night. This is one of those 'trend' pieces for your wardrobe. It's a tad pricer than perhaps a plain skirt might be, but honestly, I just love it so much. I like to have a few 'key' items each season and team them with various basics to create different looks.

Today I'm wearing a cropped cami, also from Topshop. I think the skirt needs to be paired with a cropped item or with the top tucked in as there is so much pretty detailing on it, it would be a shame to cover it up.

I'm also wearing my trusty Zara mules- I told you they would be useful!- and some pretty gold accessories. If you want to hop on the mule bandwagon but can't find the Zara ones in stock, check out my last post (here) for some similar styles you can still get your hands on. I can't wait to wear this outfit to Marbella on my holiday this Summer and if you can still get hold of the skirt in some Topshop stores, I recommend you grabbing it.

I've put together today a little fashion edit for you all. I'm currently revising for my first year Uni exams so don't have time to put any outfit posts together, but as soon as it's Summer I'll be making more of them!

I love this trend at the moment, it's so colourful and bright. I wouldn't wear all of these at once, but with the right outfit you can work this trend into so many different looks. I love how earthy and natural all these colours are, it's a refreshing change from the florals and pastels we see every Summer, although, don't get me wrong, I love those too!

Let me know if you like these, I've made a couple more which I can upload whilst I'm finishing up at Uni. Good luck to everyone else revising for exams at the moment!

The 'IT' Jacket

A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted a jacket to wear as the weather starts warming up- possibly a little optimistic I know! I'm getting bored of wearing my thick coat everywhere and nobody ever seeing my outfit so a jacket I could wear on the odd occasion that the weather did improve was top of my wish list!

This jacket I found in the River Island sale for £30 down from £60! I'm so pleased with it, it ticks all the boxes I wanted it to. The jacket is a 'biker' style but not the traditional full leather that most biker jackets are. The exterior is a bouclé material with additional black jersey panels down the sleeves. The lapels are black PU material and the zips and metal details are gold. I love how different textures are incorporated into one garment as it really makes it an interesting piece. I love this jacket and it's really flattering! The sale in River Island is still on at the moment so you might be able to get this in some stores. I think everyone needs a staple jacket in their wardrobe that goes with everything (or nearly everything!) and can be worn in the day or smartened up for the night- they are a good investment!

For those of you that have asked in previous posts, these heels are fairly comfortable. I've not tried wearing them for long periods of time however, but they aren't necessarily uncomfortable! I would really recommend them.

OOTD: 29/03/13

Today I went for a laid-back vibe when picking my outfit. I bought these gorgeous square print trousers from Topshop after thinking how perfect they would look with my new bag and shoes! I've paired the trousers with a draped black top and I think they work perfectly together. The two pieces flow together and are structured yet soft at the same time. The bag adds a beautiful splash of colour to the outfit and adds an interesting dimension to the look. You can buy the bag in so many different colours now, I've got my eye on the green one! For me, these trousers have to be worn with a classic, low, pointed heel to give them an elegant feel. You could wear them with flat shoes but I think the heels really elongate the legs.

These geometric and square prints are really on trend at the moment. I've seen a lot of grid print tops on the high street and catwalks as well so it looks like these prints will be here for a while. I really think these trousers definitely look more expensive than they are. I can't wait for the weather to warm up some more so I can wear this look out and about, however it would also work with a slouchy black jumper- I need to get my hands on one! This look is sophisticated and elegant, it's one of my favourties at the moment. Expect to be seeing the bag and shoes a lot, they look gorgeous with everything in my wardrobe at the moment!
