#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!

High Street Heroes: May

It's May! 

I can smell summer; it's so close and that makes me extremely happy! 

When I'm happy, that makes me want to go shopping and shopping is perfect for this month's high street heroes!

I have been searching high and low for the best the high street has to offer and now I am ready to show you. HOORAY!  

Like I have mentioned a few times already, the 70s are back in a big way. 

Topshop, River Island and the ilk are all over this trend like disco on fever.

All Topshop

All River Island

High Street Heroes: March

Hello Spring! the days are getting longer, the weather is slowly picking up and my mood is improving on a daily basis. This can only mean one thing... I am beginning to step out in style. So I thought as this was a special occasion and I have resolved to wear my beloved Supergas a maximum of twice a week, this month's High Street Heroes are all about the shoes. Heels, flats, platforms and everything in-between!. 

For the perennially casual these espadrilles from River Island  are a win/win in the shoe game. These scream for bare legs, or loose jeans and look so comfortable. I love the snake skin too; you can pattern clash, go wild with your brights or keep it clean and neutral with a plethora of white, beige and taupes, nothing would look out of place with these. 

I would pair these with an oversized, crisp button down (collar popped) a pair of light washed boyfriend jeans and a lot of bangles. (Headscarf optional)

These makes me want to think warm thoughts and be in the park right now. 

Get the look below:

High Street Heroes: February

So February is here. Your Valentine's presents have either wilted, been eaten or are proudly adorning your body. Lent is just around the corner (I am going to give up Haribo again. It is going to be HARD) and you are contemplating new items for your transitional winter/early spring wardrobe. I am here for you, to guide you through the murky waters (or driving wind) of the high street.

High Street Heroes: September

Another month, another round of my picks of high street staples so you don't have to do all the heavy lifting.

I have had all the time in the world over the last few weeks to thoroughly search the high streets, Westfield's and everywhere in-between to show you my favourites this month from the leaders of the pack. 

Topshop

Who says rompers aren't for the autumn?! Wear these with my favourite 150 denier tights and a shirt and you'll be 'A-OK' for autumn.

Zara

Because the weather is drawing in cover ups are needed and necessary. This Blazer is a wonderful addition to your wardrobe (as if you needed another excuse).

It's wonderfully casual and looks great with a pair of light skinny jeans an oversized t shirt. 

Next

I've already said, I'm a big fan of a good jumper, this one from next is perfect for late summer layering.

This would look great with a pair of skinny khakis and a pair of plimsolls. 

Autumnal Perfection!

Pretty Autumn Pastels 

I can't not write about my picks for the month and not discuss the onslaught of pastels for the AW14 season. Everyone has a good selection, including Primark! 

Here's a pick of my favourites!

       BooHoo Jumper                                                     Topshop Trench                          River Island Bowler

So those are my favourites on the high street for now. I will if course spend the next few weeks 'researching' just so you don't have to! 

Until next time!
