Perfect Pinterest Outfits

I'm slightly addicted to Pinterest, as I'm sure many of you are too, constantly pinning fashion pics, artwork and of course some mouth wateringly yummy (yet highly calorific) food. 

In this post I wanted to share with you some of my favourite summer outfits I have recently been pinning to my fashion board which provide great alternatives to just a plain vest and shorts. 

This first image is from fashforfashion.com. I've always loved the way that a simple denim shirt can gently toughen up the delicacy of lace, with the combination of colours being perfect for the summer palette. 

This next outfit is great as it's cool but classy. Shirts are a favourite of mine so this is a go to outfit for me, although I haven't managed to find any white shorts as cute as the ones below!

Here we have an incredibly popular outfit for hundreds of girls out there, the checked (flannel) shirt providing an edgy tomboy feel to denim shorts with simple tees. 

Lastly, another shirt (which I lust over every time I see it) and shorts combo with this pic showing how cool an outfit can look mixed with lots of necklaces in gold or bronze hanging loosely to create a boho vibe. 

Summer Wishlist

Summer seems to finally be creeping its way in from amongst the cloud and rain meaning I can finally dust off those sandles and get ready to skip in the sun! (yes I do still occasionally skip...)

Most recently I've been scouring the website of one of my favourite fashion retailers: boohoo.com who offer a wide range of styles with so much to offer meaning there's something for everyone! The prices are also fantastic, with students getting 10% off on everything when signed up to myunidays.com which also gives you exclusive discounts from Apple to Topshop.

Two of my favourites from boohoo include this beautiful short woven jacket in a selection of blues perfect for summer (but would also fit into any season of wardrobe), as well as this fitted playsuit which I think would work brilliantly teamed with brogues for a smart or casual occasion.

Now I realise that trainers aren't for everyone and on a hot sunny day they're not the first thing you have in mind to slip your feet into, but these Nike's are just amazing. With fabric designed by Liberty London, they add a girlish charm to the traditional basketball shoe and the subtle colourings mean they are wearable with a variety of clothing. One thing I don't understand about the Nike blazer shoes is the fact that they haven't covered the whole tongue and have left foam visible! At least on the Liberty London style they've only left the foam at the top visible!

Please feel free to leave my some comments as I'm always up for a chat! Also, I want to know what your favourite summer piece is and if anyone has the answer to the Nike foam question then please tell me!

Outfit Of The Day #3

The weather today was absolutely freezing (well it is England), so jeans were my first point of call. I'm not really one for a hoodie and jeans so I try to dress for both warmth and style. 

For this outfit I teamed my black studded Boohoo boots with my studded leather jacket to go with the 'rebel' trend this season, but also they're my favourite things at the moment so am always happy to wear them! While searching through my wardrobe I also trudged out my old purple jeans which add a bit of vibrant colour to my look. Finally, my shirt and collar chain (both from Primark) keep the look quite sophisticated whilst the chain adds that extra bit of bling.

Summer Fashion

Summer is here (finally!) which means out come the shorts and bikinis and in go the wooly snoods! Fashion magazines are bursting with summer styles, from denim dungarees to metallic skater skirts, there is bound to be something for everyone this season. 

Some of my favourite items include pretty lacy dresses (Jack Wills have a gorgeous one in their catalog this summer), combined with tough ankle boots and a denim jacket to give the outfit a more rugged look. Another of my favourite styles is the floral china teapot look with dainty blue detailing on white collared shirts. A particular favourite item of mine from this trend being an embroidered dress from Miss Selfridge (£85). 

The sports luxe look is still popular this season featuring a 7 page 'mish mash' of the style with graphic prints in the June 2013 edition of Miss Vogue and bloggers such as Susie Bubble rocking some Nike trainers. 

Despite all the new trends for the summer season, my favourite thing had to be the fact that even if you're not feeling particularly fashionable, you can still look and be cool wearing high waisted shorts, a t-shirt, converse or vans and some Raybans (be they real or fake Primark ones for a £1!).
