Play Date


The chicest and most comfortable way to retrieve your childhood? A play suit. Since the summer months are almost upon us I felt the need to mention a play suit, and this one by Alexander Wang hits the mark perfectly. Play suits or rompers as we named them in our earlier years, are all about the right cut for your body, not many a girl can rock the skin tight look which is why todays post is pretty much universal for everyone. In slinky silk and the silver toned perfect shade of grey, this little beauty nips the body perfectly The 70's perfect sleeves would make Bianaca Jagger proud and a sigh of relief for everybody, behold the elasticated waist. Add sunnies and ridiculously sized tote and your ready to romp.

Your Birthday Suit


Spring is all about the word light, better lit days, lighter evenings, light jackets and probably most important lighter colours. Pastels were a huge hit on the spring summer runways but most noticeably in the form of nudes.
Christopher Kane , Calvin Klein and Burberry Prosum where a handful of the designers that showed shades fit for a candy shop, think blush roses, soft corals, frosty beiges, milky peaches and soft iridescent pinks. Bearing the trend in mind here is my take on the new pastels.

Zip Slip Dress by Topshop – The nude lingerie dress, if it looks like your wearing your underwear, on the outside your probably onto the right thing. This one from Topshop hit the mark perfectly, nude, lace, and silk, channelling your inner Gaultier.
Available at http://www.topshop.com/ £45

70’s Wash Denim Shirt by Topshop – Denim, another revival has made its way back onto the runways, this loose fitting shirt adds a little western touch to springs pastels.
Available at http://www.topshop.com/ £30

Canvas Belt by Stella McCartney – You’ll rarely find a look this season that isn’t finished off with a belt. Tan accessories are oh so summer time and great for adding a harder edge to a soft look.

Skull Pendent Chain by Alexander McQueen – Gold is usually the go to for spring jewellery and while its great, I decided to add the eternal symbolic pendent by McQueen as a quirky alternative.
Available at http://www.polyvore.co.uk/ £240

Leather Linen Ballet Flats by Lanvin – Women breath a sign of relief as ballet pumps are officially chic again thanks to Lanvin. These leather and linen ones are fabulous and come in a variety of different colours including this grey and metallic pair.
Available at http://www.net-a-porter.com/ £265

Felt Fedora by Brixton Gain – What I like to call a ‘Hollywood Finish’ a fedora is just a little bit California and a little bit rock star and fabulous if not just practical for sunshine weather.
Available at http://www.shopbop.com/ $55

Small Donna Hobo Bag by Alexander Wang – The ‘off duty’ slouchy style bag is great for long summer days and is amazing in the grey sugary shade.
Available at http://www.net-a-porter.com/ £750

Tilia Acetate Sunglasses by Chloe – I love these 70’s inspired cat eye sunnies and the colour just screams St Tropez.
