Sarenza Sunday: Ecentric

08th June 2014
Ok, so when it comes to footwear this season it would appear I’m a sucker for the trends. Generally I can take them or leave them when it comes to clothing- it’s easier to accept that not everything is going to suit you but when it comes to shoes it’s hard to find a style that you can’t pair with something and look fly as hell. After last week’s post on ugly shoes, this week I’m bringing you the slip-on sensation…seen on bloggers everywhere, and hopefully soon, me! Once again Sarenza have come up trumps with a huge selection.
Probably my favourite pair from the selection on Sarenza is the Ecentric by Steve Madden, £84.99. I’ve been a fan of Steve Madden shoes for a long time, and own a couple of pairs including some stunning glittery brogues. I love how clean these look and the leopard print adds an extra dimension. These would be just perfect with a pair of boyfriend jeans with turned up hems, or a denim pinafore dress…and then there is the fun of clashing patterns or pairing them with a super-girly dress. Never have casual shoes been so appealing!
What do you think of the slip-on trend? I’m loving the laid back vibe, especially for lazy weekends!

In Reverse

05th June 2014
I’ll start off by saying that I’m not a clutch bag girl. I think I’ve only ever used one twice in my life, I just can’t travel light! But with a wedding on the horizon and having to think more and more about what I carry on a daily basis after my back troubles I’ve started to see the appeal of the minimal approach; that and seeing some seriously stylish bloggers rocking the clutches lately.
One of the best clutches I’ve seen this season is the Fleur reversible clutch bag from Paul’s Boutique. It comes in five reversible colour-ways, all fabulously fun and bright and spot on for the colour block trend. It’s a bargain too, as for £25 you are effectively getting two bags. My eye is on the pink one, which converts to a lovely bright blue.
Sorry for the super short post, this is probably my busiest week of the year! What do you think of these super-duper bags? Which colour combo would you pick? Sell me the benefits of clutches over carriers.

ASOS x Disney = Awesome

03rd June 2014
What do you get when your favourite online retailer joins forces with the creator of the most famous characters ever? A kickass collection of accessories, that’s what you get! ASOS have joined forces with Disney to create an exclusive collection of Minnie Mouse ears that are perfect for festival season!
As a child who never went to Disneyland I have found myself, as an adult with a serious yearning for a pair of Minnie Mouse ears so this collection is a sure fire winner in my eyes. With a range of designs to suit all personalities (I’ve just featured my top three here) and a timeless relevance to fashion I predict this head gear will be a sell out so act fast! I may not be heading to any festivals this Summer but I don’t see that as a reason not to wear novelty hairbands, do you?
Would you wear one of these? Who is your all time favourite Disney character? Mine is probably Minnie herself, although I have a penchant for the Disney Princesses- as anyone who followed my Kinder Egg collection madness will know!
Available on ASOS now.

Summer Loving with lolaandgrace

31st May 2014
There are a couple of jewellery brands I just can’t get enough of right now and one of those is lolaandgrace. Every time I visit the website I find something to fall in love with, and despite owning several pieces from the brand I still want more! Their Spring/Summer collection is an absolute cracker and I thought I’d share with you just a few of the pieces I’m currently coveting.
As you can probably tell, I’m really liking clean cut bold pieces this Summer; a lovely contrast to the delicate and feminine pastels that are everywhere and stunning with this season’s bold prints. I don’t really have space on my ears for ear cuffs, thanks to my multitude of piercings but I seriously want the Filigree Wide Earcuff and the Stud Long Earcuff as part of the decoration.
My many piercings are also the reason I don’t often wear statement sparklers in my ear lobes, but I feel I could make exception for the Chrysanthemum Drops which I may well have to invest in very soon as they will be the perfect finishing touch to my outfit for a wedding I’m going to in July. Just stunning! A polar opposite to these flower inspired fancies and going back towards what I know best I might have to sneak the Cupchain Bib necklace in to my basket too- it’s on the pricey side but will look amazing against the basic tees and vests I’ve stocked up on for work (and play) lately.
As I said above, these barely even touch the surface of the gorgeous arrivals on the lolaandgrace website, so head on over there and report back on what’s caught your eye the most…and look out for more features of their collections on the blog in the future. J’adore.

Summer Heatwave from Guess Watches

27th May 2014
It’s been a while (and by a while I mean over a month) since I last featured Guess on the blog and I knew that in the absence of e-mails and new collections they must be working on something good. I wasn’t wrong; last week their new watch collection, Summer Heatwave hit my inbox and as is always the case with their collections I couldn’t resist sharing.
Perfect with a tan and equally as good for brightening up a less than sunny day (this is Britain after all!) the collection features warm gold faces with colour-pop silicone straps. Available in Hot Pink, Sea Green and Dazzling White these are just gorgeous. After purchasing my Mulberry bag I’m not in a position to buy anything right now, but if I was then the hot pink would be winging it’s way to my wrist as I type.
The RRP of these watches is £159.00 and you can buy online at Goldsmiths. Which one do you fancy?
