Metallic Mad

 

 

Metallic has been popping up all over the shop and I'm not one to shy away from it and neither should you. I've kept it safe by wearing all black and then using the metallic as statement pieces. I've had my silver shoes for a while now but not had the chance the wear them, especially while its been so cold. They also marry up very nicely with my new Alexander McQueen handbag! I love every thing about this outfit. Its simple but fun.

London Fashion Week

This Sunday I attended London Fashion week at Somerset House watching the SS15 Trend Catwalk with THE OUTNET.COM Floral, Metallic, Monochrome and the 70's is what's hot this Spring/Summer 15.

Hyper Floral - It's about being Big, Bold and Beautiful. Oversized petals, mixed colours, embellished with everything from ankle-grazing dresses to mix-and-match separates. Its just screaming good weather.

 

 

Shimmer & Shine - Is all about the razzle dazzle but this time with metallic. Bring out the blink-and-you'll-miss-them-sparkles, radiant pastels and glimmering sequins but don't leave this for the night. Bring it to your day time wardrobe.

 

 

Make It Monochrome - Nothing beats black and white. When you don't no what to wear this is the go to colour combination and I can't see it ever going out of fashion. This season its about graphic prints, oversized stripes and bold two-tones.

 

 

That Seventies Show - The seventies are back with suede, crochet and lace. The flower child is back bring out the flares and tassels, embrace the 70's.

 

 

 Now we just need the sun to hurry up and the cold wind to disappear. I'm ready to put my winter coats away and pack up the boots.

 

Mothers Day - March 15th

Mothers Day is only just round the corner and its about time we should start thinking about what to get our Mums, Nans, Aunts or any of the women who have given us love and have influenced us in our lives. I guess this entry is aimed more towards the guys because lets face it your not always great at remembering the important dates. So I thought I would help you out by coming up with a Mothers Day Wish List. 

 

 

'Love You Mummy' Key Ring - Not on the High Street

 

This is such a sweet idea and Mums/Nans would love this. Especially with the personal touch with individual lettering making it a special 'one of a kind' gift. It starts at £10 for the message key ring and then £3 for each extra lettered pebble. You can add up to 4 pebbles.

 

 

 

Emma Bridgewater Mugs 

 



Emma Bridgewater has a wonderful collection of pottery and has plenty to choose from for Mother Days. Especially the mugs and who doesn't love a cup of tea or coffee in the morning. The mugs featured are £19.95 each. 

 

Merry Berry Egg Cups & Spoon - Handpicked Collection

 What a sweet set and handed picked by the wonderful Merry Berry from her collection and now at a discounted price of £14, how could you say no?

 

 

Linea Flora emboss Vase - House Of Fraser 

 



 If you are buying flowers for Mothers Day you can't forget the all important flower vase. What are the ladies going to put the wonderful flowers in? This vase from House of Fraser will be perfect.

 

Jo Malone

 

 

 I'm going to finish of the Mothers Day Wish List with Jo Malone. This is a winner and always will be a winner. If you have ever stepped into a Jo Malone shop you will know how wonderful the smell is. From citrus, fruit, light floral, floral, spicy and woody it can cater for all. Whoever you buy for on Mothers Day they will be very happy.

 

Have a lovely Mothers Day and don't forget 15th March.

 

 



Tartan Dog

The sun is trying to show its face but its still cold outside and I'm getting a bit bored of my winter coats so I'm thinking of new ways to keep warm. My favourite way at the moment is getting a HUGE scarf, wrapping it around my neck and placing a broche to secure the ends. 

In fact this whole outfit started because I love my dogtooth skirt from Zara and I could easily wear it everyday. Wear the same outfit twice, you say?? Noo I would never do that, but wear that same item of clothing but in a different style? Yes! All the time. Its so easy to get caught up in one outfit and can't think of another way of wearing it. This is what I love doing. I want to get the most of my money. If I've spent £50 on a skirt I want to wear it 50 times to get my moneys worth's. This is why I think its important to buy timeless pieces. Fashion goes around in circles. I'm sure it wont be long till Denim skirts are back in fashion. In fact I've only just gone and brought myself a pair of flared jeans (post coming soon) and I've got a feeling it will be out with the skinny's and in with the flares this spring.

P.S Don't be afraid to mix your patterns, just as long as the colours match you can't go wrong. 

 

Keep your eyes peeled.
