Bank Holiday: The Sun Has Got His Hat On...

Hip Hip Hooray!!

Happy Bank Holiday!:-)

Here's my sunny bank holiday outfit to take you from day-to-night....

Motel Printed tube skirt £28, Basic crop tank top £6, Cornflower tuck ankle socks £3.50, Nano T-Bar sandals £45, Red Sunglasses £16, Stud gem box bag £45, Triangle Rhinestone chain £20, Triangle layered stud earrings £7.50, Oversized Biker £60. All from Topshop.

You gotta love bank holidays! An extra day to enjoy the sun, grab some lunch with friends or go for drinks in the evening! I love this outfit so much, I've bought the skirt and crop tank top. I think I may wear it with converse and a denim jacket for a more casual look. How would you style it? What did you wear over the bank holiday? Let me know what you think...

A little trip to Topshop Oxford Circus!

A couple of weeks ago I was in London for an interview, so whilst I was there, I took the essential, or shall we say obligatory trip to Topshop Oxford Circus.

Being from a small town, and small store, it's great to get the chance to see what Topshop exhibits on it's grandest scale, and of course it's newest of new offerings; and (As always) it has a lot to offer for Spring/Summer '13!

WINDOWS!

I love shop windows, especially those along Oxford street. They are the most creative and inspiring!

Topshop Oxford Circus windows currently showcase it's 21st Century Debutante trend - Ladylike fabrics, prints and tailored pieces, with contemporary dashes of fluro, and the odd masculine garment, all layered together with those signature quirky styling touches!

Here's some of the pieces I took into the fitting rooms, for a trying on session...

Decisions...
(My own: Brogues - Topshop, T-shirt - Topshop, Disco Pants - American Apparel)

Subconsciously my selection has a clear PINK theme, which seems to be coming through as a key colour for Spring/Summer '13. As is the continuation of dungarees, crop tops and grunge jumpers....

What I bought....

Grey baby cord dungarees

Bright pink grunge jumper

Multi breton stripe t-shirt dress

Today I wore...

My new 'vintage' skirt...

I found this skirt in one of my local charity shops for £2.99! I've been looking for a mid length floral skirt like this for a while now. This one is the perfect length for me, and I love the colours in the floral print :-)

Crop top -Topshop, Necklace H&M, Belt H&M, Bag H&M, Skirt - Salvation Army, Ankle Boots - New Look.

For a night out in London for my friends' Birthday, I teamed the skirt with a white Topshop crop top for an edgy, youthful look. As the skirt is very feminine, I also chose black heeled ankle boots, a black leather jacket and my black fringed shoulder bag, for a rocky element.

When the weather finally warms up, I'll probably style this midi with a tucked in breton t-shirt, tan leather cutaway pumps or converse and a leather jacket, for a Spring/Summer daytime look...

Today I Bought... New Vest - 'The Boys'

Yesterday I picked up this awesome new Swedish House Mafia vest in H&M for £9.99! I've seen Swedish House Mafia a couple of times, and just had to get this vest in homage to 'The Boys'.

As with all new things, i wore it out straight away for a night out in town with best friend, partner in crime and wingman. I teamed it with a strapless monochrome polka dot bra (as the vest drapes low), a statement necklace, black leather trousers, snakeskin clutch, black ankle boots, bright pink nails and

pinky/red lip :-)
