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!

Cool and Casual

So today it was actually hot in Cornwall (*runs around in glee*) and so of course I got my shorts out straight away! Unfortunately my day consisted of revising for A-level exams but this didn't stop me from wearing clothes that were fashionable but still casual.

Firstly I picked out my light denim shirt and kept it open, slung on top of a simple blue vest top. I then paired this which my lace skirt but had to change after my dad wanted some help with some building work! Nevertheless the shorts (from Bershka)I swapped for the skirt were still quite fun and summery! To add a more fashionable and on trend hint to my outfit I 'borrowed' my mum's fairly boho necklace in shiny silver and bright vibrant blue. Shoes wise, I wore my gladiator sandals from New Look, paired with a straw hat and some Ray Ban style sunnies!

Beautiful Barcelona

So last week I went to Barcelona for five blissful days, taking in the culture of this stunning city and enjoying the hustle and bustle as opposed to the little village I live in in the Uk.

Not only has this city got the most awe inspiring architecture, varying from traditional to more contemporary work by Gaudi, it also offers a variety of different places to eat, from tapas to the most delicious chicken teriyaki at La Creme Canela and amazing vegetarian food at Teresa Carles which any meat lover would appreciate!

Whilst in Barcelona the weather (to a Brit) was lovely,  with the sun shining and a cool breeze in the air. Younger locals in the vicinity were dressed in their skinny jeans and all sported a variety of fashionable trainers from Nike to Converse. Although this is quite a lot like in the UK, the Spanish manage  to make their look effortless but still stylish, paired with their shining golden tans.

The best shoes for the job were my Converse! I must've walked about 6 miles everyday!

Roll Top x Pork Pie Hat

This post is purely to show off my lovely new hat... which I am struggling to find the accurate name of, so I've called it a roll top, pork pie hat combo! I bought this beauty for around £8 from H&M and would never stop wearing it if it weren't for the torrential rain almost everyday! (Raincoat has been my staple...) Anyway, here are a few pics of my hat styled with an outfit I wore to college (if I look a bit 'puffy' is due to wearing lots of layers under my shirt!) 

Shirt: Sainsburys, Jumper: Lottie Loves in Looe, Leather Jacket: H&M (In Italy!), Hat: H&M, Jeans: also sainsburys, Chelsea Boots: They're actually my old riding boots! 

Outfit of the day #4 - The Addams Family

"They're altogether ooky, the Addams Family!". The Addams Family has been an outfit inspiration recently, more specifically, Wednesday Addams. After watching the film and taking inspiration from one of Russell and Bromley's campaigns, I thought I'd try the shirt under a dress combo, pairing a stiff collared shirt with a tight skater style black dress. Additionally, to make the break the black up slightly, I added a red belt and red tights with a long necklace matching the colour trio. In the photos (which I'm sorry are slightly bad quality but it was getting dark when I took them) I am also wearing black legwarmers, purely because it is freezing in England and I wanted something to peep over my black chelsea boots! 

Three ways to wear a Christmas jumper

People tend to have a marmite relationship with Christmassy jumpers, you either love them or you hate them! I personally, LOVE christmas jumpers and have started to build quite a collection. 

Above is my new Christmas jumper from Fat Face, which is festive but not over the top. 

In picture 1 is the outfit I wore on Christmas Day (I'll post it soon!), featuring a simple skirt from H&M, spotty knitted tights from Fat Face, brown Chelsea boots from New Look and my new favourite hat, also from Fat Face (I must admit I'm going through a bit of a Fat Face phase!). I really like this look as its quite feminine but also warm and cosy!

Picture 2 is a more casual look, with a white shirt (TU), acid wash skinny jeans (H&M) and once again my chelsea boots, this time with a pair of angora long socks (Marks and Spencer) that will peep over my boots. 

In the final picture I chose my new favourite leather jacket with wooly collar from Topshop and a pair of black leggins for a warm but comfortable look.
