Pastels & Hi Tops


I arrived back from Turkey to skies much like this. Depressing isn't the word. So even though Summer hasn't really descended upon England and I can't wear my Summer clothes at least I get to wear my new Nike hi tops! The hi tops and gold watch are two of my holiday purchases and I'm sure you'll be impressed with the genuine fakery.

This look is all about showing off my foot candy and my tan! As you know, mint is my all time favourite colour of the moment and I like how this minty jumper shows off the tan, more so than white.

Once I get myself sorted out, I'll get some pictures of my holiday on here. I had a brilliant time, sleeping until ten or eleven each day, lounging in the sun, eating at the locals caff oposite my Mum's apartment and browsing in the bazaar. It was so nice just to properly relax, wish I could have stayed all Summer.

Floral Shorts, Mint Pastels & Studded Slippers

 I like the word 'slippers' it makes me think of Cinderella although these badboys are much more granddad grunge (that should definitely be a concept). Pretty much everything I'm wearing is new, I keep coming up with clothes that I 'need' and floral shorts, studded slippers and anything mint was on the latest list.

I actually am really pleased with the slippers. I got them from Missguided here and I think for £22.99 they're a good buy, although I'd recommend being a little careful around the studs because I've dislodged a few already.

I have Celestial by Topshop on my nails which I had to buy after seeing Sammi from BeautyCrush wearing it in a video. I absolutely love the shade and think it will look inCREDible with a tan.

What's your favourite Spring pastel colour? I think I might have to do a mint blog post because I have so many shades of it now!

Floral Skinny Jeans

I've been after a pair of floral skinny jeans or floral trousers for a while now. I think they compliment the Spring pastels trend perfectly and, well, they're just so pretty! I wasn't sure I'd be able to get away with them because obviously they draw the eye to your legs which is not my favourite area, shall we say. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried these on and I think it's thanks to the large print. Small print + sizeable thighs = bad combo.

I thought I'd leave the rest of the outfit quite neutral so as to let the trousers do the talking but added a red lip to balance things out. The trousers are currently available in Internacionale and are a mere £19.99. They have loads of other coloured jeans and patterns including vertical stripes (which I could NOT carry off). I'd absolutely recommend having a look, they have some real gems including a lot of Topshop lookalikes but for a fraction of the price (and no, I haven't been asked to say this.)

Hope you've enjoyed your bank holiday weekend. I have spent the whole of today trying to clear out my wardrobe. It is quite frankly ridiculous how many clothes I own. Are you the same?

Blue Jeans

 I'd been after a pair of blue skinnies in this colour for a while, so when I found these in New Look for just £19.99 I couldn't pass them up. They're a little loose on the ankle but I think I'm going to bust out the needle and thread to sort that out.

Spring started out so nicely but this was a cold day. I love this leather jacket, It's a soft, kind of matte leather and I found it in Primark years ago for £25. A total bargain because the leather has such a nice finish but I find there is never the right time to wear it. While it goes with everything it's kind of too warm for Spring but not warm enough for Winter. These are third world problems people.
