Ripped Denim

Ripped denim is back this summer. If you're thinking about throwing out your old unwanted jeans, DON'T! This is your chance to do a bit of customisation. Or if you've been wanting to buy yourself some ripped denim jeans all summer but don't want to spend a lot, then get yourself to Matalan or Primark and do a bit of denim DIY.

The jeans featured in today's post are from Matalan and cost £14, a third of the price you might pay in other high-street stores! I then made a cut across the knee, while wearing them to make sure they're straight. To fray the edges I used the edge of the scissors and you can do this however much or little you want! Add extra cuts if you want extra ripped jeans!

I've gone for the minimal luxe look in this post. I picked the wrap top and sliders up from H&M, one of my favourite shops at the moment for Spring/Summer 14 style.
They're sale is still on so it's definitely worth checking out! They also have some gorgeous wrap tops in stock!

Jeans - Matalan £14

Wrap Top - HM £7.99

Sliders - HM £19.99

Sunglasses - Matalan £6 
Rings - Primark £3
Nail Polish - Maybelline Acid Wash 

My dog Polo loves the camera, so he just had to get in this one! xx

Peaches & Cream

My post today is centred around the classic and simple summer style. One thing I've always loved is the wide-leg trouser, they're really flattering and can be worn dressed down in the day with a simple cami, or more glammed up in the evening. I'm loving the pastel colours around at the moment, teamed with cream and lace for texture, it just looks simple and effortless. I think this top has gone into the sale, but I can't find it online, so it's definitely worth checking out in store. The Zara sale is great for a shirt/blouse to go with these trousers so it's a great place to start. Shop here

These shoes are another amazing find from Matalan. I've been looking for some beige shoe boots for a while and I didn't have much luck with the sales. But Matalan came out on top again and these were only £20. Again they're not online but I picked these up in store so it's definitely worth a look. 

I've done my nails using Primark Nail Polish which costs only £1 (full review is on my beauty page)! I've then added some french tips using Barry M gold polish for something a bit different. 

Trousers - HM £24.99 (Buy them here)

Lace Shirt - Zara £29.99

Shoes - Matalan £20

Rings - Primark (old)

Bag - Zara (old)

Sunglasses - Matalan £6

I hope you all have lovely weekend x

I Do

Wedding season is once again in full swing and it's that time of year where you search around looking for that perfect guest outfit worthy of best dressed. But it can be a difficult decision: to hat or not to hat?

The high street once again has excelled itself. From gorgeous cocktail dresses in the typical spring/summer theme - pastels and florals - to elegant LBDs and jumpsuits you'll want to wear again and again. 

The jumpsuit I'm wearing is from Zara who have an amazing summer sale on, so if you have a wedding coming up I would definitely recommend checking out Zara. It has a slight creased effect to the material, which I couldn't work out whether it was intentional or not, but I decided not to iron it and go with it!

When putting my outfit together I centred it all around the colour, picking out the grey tones in my accessories. Statement necklaces are everywhere at the moment. I've bought quite a few pieces of statement jewellery from Matalan over the summer, they have some really beautiful pieces and it's a bargain! I loved the silk band , which added something a bit different and went so well with the jumpsuit.  I used my marble effect technique for my nails, again using the grey polish then marbelled with white (check out how to do this on my BEAUTY page), and completing my accessories with some chunky rings from Primark and a jewelled stone clutch bag. 

Jumpsuit -Zara 
Shoes - River Island 
Necklace - Matalan
Rings - Primark
Bag - HM

For my make-up I kept it quite simple with smokey eyes and a nude lip. 

For my hair I just put in rollers while getting ready to give it some volume.

Floral print is in full bloom this season. The bright and vibrant colours and patterns embrace the fun in fashion. It’s a chance to bring out your inner lady, from dresses to heels, trousers to bags, you will find this trend everywhere on the high street. If going top-to-toe in floral seems too daunting this summer, embrace the fun with a statement floral necklace. 

Taupe & Pearl are the perfect place to find floral statement jewellery

My Floral Tribute post is focused around high street bargains. There are some amazing summer sales at the moment and it's the perfect time to pick up pieces from the Floral trend. I found this shift dress in the F&F Clothing sale, a place many people don't think to look. I've bought quite a few amazing things from F&F and so if you're looking for a summer steal I would definitely recommend checking it out online. I paired the dress with some green stilettos for a more evening look, but the great thing about this summer floral dress is they can be worn any time. The jewellery is another amazing find from Matalan, I couldn't rave about them any more for their jewellery!

Shift dress - F&F Clothing Sale £11
Shoes - ASOS Sale £25
Bracelet - Matalan £6
Sunglasses - Primark £2
Rings - Primark £3
Nail Polish - Primark £1

Total look = £48

For a more casual/day look, I've gone top-to-toe in Primark. This another great floral print dress and I just love the colours, a great addition to your summer wardrobe for only £13!

Dress- Primark £13
Shoes - Primark £12
Hair band - Primark £2.50 
Rings - Primark £3

Total look - £30.50

This fun and flirty print is fueling the co-ordinate trend. Everywhere on the high-street you can find shorts and jackets, skirts and bralets making a statement. What I love about this is the chance to mix and match. Buying a co-ordinate look means that you’re getting 3 for the price of one. This makes this trend an investment for your wardrobe!

Kimono

My LOTW feature's my favourite Kimono. These are everywhere at the moment and it's a great way to add layers and colour to your look. I picked this Kimono up from Primark from their beachwear section. That's a great place to look if you're trying to get your hands on one, as there are some really love prints! I love this trend at the moment because it's so versatile. You can wear one in the day with riding boots for a more casual look, or in the evening with a pair of jeans and stilettos! I picked out the colour in the Kimono for my nails and makeup, keeping it nude and natural. Topshop makeup is a great go-to brand if you don't want to splurge but still want good quality. I find these lipsticks just as good as Mac and half the price, the nail polish also stays on really well. What completes this look is the hat, which you can find really easily on the high street at the moment and is also great for Autumn/Winter.

Kimono - Primark £8

Top - Matalan £7

Jeans - Topshop £40

Riding Boots - Topshop £98

Hat - Forever 21 £15

Nails - Topshop 'Mannequin' £5

Lips - Topshop 'Saint' £8
