    After having a good catch up on fashion news and collections, particularly ones from Resort 2013. The great thing about resort collections is that it’s so easy to take inspiration from them and apply them this Summer.

    One of the easiest to incorporate was from Bottega Veneta’s collection. Like it or not maxi dresses have become a Summer staple and the chic minimalist style from Bottega Veneta is found everywhere. In terms of styling keep it simple like the maxi dress with metallic jewellery, sandals and wedges.

  • This Week…

    27.05.2012
    What I wore: Denim shirt [H&M], T-shirt [Primark], Jeggings [New Look], Boots [M&S], Necklace [Accessorize]
    – Hoisin noodles from Tesco – Pouring over Company magazine, with Jessie J on the cover – Looking longingly all of the festival fashion in it – Loving & living in my print New Look shirt – Sunday morning pancakes – Exam stress = comfort clothing, practically living in my vintage cardi from Camden – Revision ¬_¬ – Exams finish & the sandals come out! – Getting into the ‘Make Do & Mend’ spirit & sorting out clothes that are falling apart – Workwear purchases: blazer & pink top from New Look, long sleeved shirt from TK Maxx – Denim shirt from New Look – Sunshine & 27 degree heat means BBQs!! – 


    Ok so maybe not a week update and that outfit is about 2 weeks old but it’s been pretty hectic. I’ve been wrapping up Uni and heading to interviews and getting stressed over exams, which finished last Tuesday. I’ve technically finished 2nd year but am still on a last push for placement places, no luck yet =( so it’s looking more and more likely that I’ll be starting my final year at Uni come October (scary stuff). 
    In other news the UK seems to be in a May heatwave and since finishing exams it’s been nice to actually enjoy the sunshine for once. Plus getting away from blogging for a little bit has actually been nice, a bit of a mini holiday if you will. Now that I’m back I’ll hopefully be updating a little more regularly and the MTV Movie Awards are on next Sunday! Wahey! Also fingers crossed I’ll get a phone upgrade on Tuesday so I can finally get on Instagram and a decent phone to keep all my social network bits up to date :)
    Looking to possibly updating layouts and doing a decent blog clean up this Summer. I’m currently at 90 followers so anyone wanna bump me up to 100? Maybe a giveaway could be in store if I hit that?! ;)

    Keep on wishing…

  • Wishlist Item…

    Floral -print stretch silk blend bodysuit
    Dolce & Gabbana
    £660 from Net-A-Porter

    I hope all of my UK readers are enjoying this gloriously warm Summer weather! I know many of you guys will be hitting the beaches this weekend, if you haven’t already, so I thought I bring you a little inspiration with some help from Dolce & Gabbana’s S/S12 collection. Every piece that was paraded down the runway was emblazoned with bright and bold prints, none more so than this super Summer-y bodysuit. 
    It’s probably not quite appropriate for Bournemouth beach trips but doesn’t it just scream Miami poolside glamour? It’s also pretty perfect for those of us who aren’t quite ready to bare all in this heat. Plus it can also be teamed effortlessly with maxi skirts, or even tucked into shorts, for easy poolside to street style chic. 

    Keep on wishing…
