Outfits To Get You Ready For Spring!

Recently I was asked by Cocoa Cashmere to create some Spring Looks for my lovely readers including some of their SS15 range. However seeing as England hasn't quite reached Spring yet (clouds,wind and rain) I added a little more warmth to the outfit than usual (probably turning them into transitional pieces for most).

Look One

. Cocoa Cashmere Striped Tunic . Denim Skirt . Faux Fur Gilet . Coin Collar Necklace . 
. Over The Knee Tights .  Red Wellington Boots .  Chunky Zip Backpack .

Look Two

. Cocoa Cashmere Grey Jumper .  Choker .  Watch . Mini Pink Backpack . Pink Nail Polish .
.  Floral Flat Shoes . Yellow Parka .

TOPSHOP: The Monochrome Schoolgirl

I fell in love with this cute pini dress from Topshop last week and I just had to make an ensemble out of it.
Hope you enjoy!

My 10 Summer Staples

1.Topshop floral shoes
A classy alternative to flip flops, two strap heeled sandals are a big trend this S/S14 along with jelly shoes (I own a pair and they are still causing blisters). I love these beauties from Topshop and they are only £32, bargain!

2.River Island mini tote bag
When travelling I hate carrying big heavy bags, so a mini tote or satchel bag is perfect for keeping little essentials safe. Also these adorable pastel colours are too hard to ignore! £30 at River Island.

3.Boohoo v neck cami

Camisole's are so simple but can start off any outfit, making them a must for summer! Stick to Monochrome colours as these can be paired with absolutely anything. Team it with any of these staples for an effortless but chic look. You get this particular cami from Boohoo for £8.

4.Topshop skinny ripped jeans

If you don't want to wear shorts but want to rebel and show some skin, ripped skinnies are for you. They add attitude to an otherwise simple outfit but still manage to look effortlessly chic and casual. You can find them at Topshop for £40.

5.Topshop white scallop jacket
I was really drawn to this beautiful scalloped jacket from Topshop. To keep it simple and as a staple I stuck with a classic white (my own rebel from black jackets), this allows the jacket to be paired with many different colours and textures. Tip - If you are pale (or are not blessed with luscious tan skin) pair this jacket with jewellery or the white will swallow you whole! £55 for insta-class.

6.Zara asymmetrical hem sweater

For days when it's a bit too chilly to wear a cami but too hot to wear a jacket, we have the thin sweater. Comfy and casual approved it looks perfect paired with ripped jeans, disco pants, shorts or even a skirt. £15.99 from Zara.

7.Topshop denim jacket

A classic here! The denim jacket has been a summer staple for years and for a good reason. Looks best paired with a dress or just anything that doesn't already include denim (i've never been able to understand the double denim trend).A classic denim jacket at £40, yum!

8.Reiss black velvet skirt

Simple and Classic; the black skirt add's class to any outfit. It also slims down those bum's and tum's we don't always want people to see. Paired best with a white jumper, cami or coloured top you can get this lush skirt from Reiss at £125.

9.Charlotte Russe skater dress

The white dress can be paired with pretty much anything, it's innocent, it's light, it's dainty and most of all adorable! One of my favourite trends of the moment because you can do so much with it. This beautiful skater dress is $34.99 (or £20.60 sterling)

10.Zara floral print skirt
I love but also loathe this trend. Midi skirts are back! The one I picked out is a favourite from Zara for £29.99 in the sale (it also has a matching peplum top), unfortunately due to my hobbit height I cannot wear these wonders *sobs* but theres no denying, Midi skirts are in and trending.

Mini-Spring Haul

Finally I have finished all my deadlines at college and I'm free to start blogging again! Over the christmas period, my contract at work finished so I was left completely moneyless and jobless. However I managed to save up several allowances and buy some bargains!

White Scallop Top; Topshop £16

Baby Lips in Cherry Me and Pink Punch from Superdrug; £2.99 each

Collection Eyeshadow Pallette in Purple from Superdrug; £3.99

MUA Blush in Lolly from Superdrug; £1.00

GlamLips in Pin Up from Wilkinsons; £1.56

Necklace from H&M; £6.99

Whilst in town I popped into one of my favourite beauty stores; M.A.C and got a sample of their studio fix foundation in NC15 as I haven't tried it on my skin since I was the ripe age of 13! The lady at the desk was also kind enough to give a sample of M.A.C's Natural Radiance Primer in Pink to make sure the foundation looked its best when it was applied.

I also picked up a bit of tartan ribbon (to make into a bow) and a lacy collar which I plan to add to a plain white shirt (once I've learnt how to do it!).

Thats all for now but once I find a new job there should be a lot more of these to come!
