#WantItWednesday (24/06/15)

From Monki

I have been searching high and low for a lovely relaxed, summer skirt and I think I have found it in this gorgeous skirt from Monki

This lightweight, striped denim skirt is perfect for the longer evenings spent outside. This works well with an oversized button down or a Tshirt, even one of my favourite Fisherman Jumpers from American Apparel for when the nights draw in. 

I think my summer prayers have been answered with this little beauty. This is fun, relaxed and delightfully vintage for the summer.

Lacquer up: The Self Made Nail Artists.

From LuciesLocket
It's not a secret that I love nail polish. I talk about it all the time. I take pride in painting my nails weekly and can often be found spamming my instagram feed with images of said handiwork. 

I am not the only one either. I found out quite recently that the sales of nail polish outstripped sales of lipstick, the first cosmetic for an instant pick me up. 

I know why I am buying three nail polishes a month, and one lipstick a month; but why is everyone else?

#WantItWednesday (17/06/15)

From Bergdorf Goodman

So It's Summer, which means you need free hands for ice cream and white wine spritzers.
And do I have the perfect bag for you, this weeks #WantItWednesday. 

This crossbody bag from New York label Mansur Gavriel, is has been made for summer. The butter soft, Italian leather handbag is perfect for tucking your purse, phone and cares away and looking fabulous while doing so. 

It does come in a range of colours, but my favourite has to be this BEAUTIFUL tan. 
It goes with everything; my uniform (Oversized T-shirt, a pair of jeans), summer dresses, kaftans, everything!  
The entire collection has a vintage feel, which is wonderfully on-trend for the summer. This feels like a bag you envied in your parents youthful and care-free photographs and you cursed them for not keeping just for you.   

Well, now you can have it; but unfortunately there is a catch. You have to wait for US shipping as this is only available in New York Institution Bergdorf Goodman. So it's either waiting rather impatiently (like me) or jumping on the next available flight to JFK. I know which one I would rather!

High Street Heroes: June

Hello June! 

The weather is FINALLY warming up and I am on the hunt for my summer wardrobe. 
I have been up and down the high street looking for the perfect components for my capsule wardrobe. I am continuing on my quest to find all thing disco-centric, and the stores on the high haven't disappointed me this month.

#WantItWednesday (10/06/15)


From River Island
So coat and heavy jacket weather is FINALLY over. But we do all live in England so cover ups are unfortunately necessary. 

I have been trawling the high street and the Internetweb and I have found this lightweight jacket sent from heaven. Well specifically, River Island.

This is cute as a button and perfect for the longer summer evenings spent on the riverside or in the beer garden. 

This works beautifully with shimmery summer dresses, crisp shirt dresses and my lifetime staple. An oversized t-shirt and jeans. 

The pattern is wonderfully loud (and ever so on trend) so you could be brave and pair this with another pattern for a truly on trend pattern clash (like a Breton stripe or a graphic floral ) or let the jacket do all of the talking for you with plain, light colours. 

So go on, treat yo' self and you'll be summer ready in no time at all! 
Until next week!

From New Look
Sometimes I want people to realise how much of a DIVA I am.

I mean, I know I am fabulous but sometimes I want everyone else to realise and appreciate too. Enter this beautiful fabulous hat that articulates that so you don't have to. 

This beauty screams 'Bow down, you are in the presence of greatness' without you even lifting your head.
