Call Me Apply

I love finding things that you have lurking around the back of your closet for a few years, especially when they're current pieces. This skirt is a favourite of mine; I picked it up in a market in Paris about 2 Summers ago for a steal at 10 Euros. The print is so cute and I adore the little button details on the front. Keeping in with the floral's I've layered on my amazing lace jacket from River Island with the gorgeous appliqué flower detailing. x

Call Me Company

Yesterday I went to the Company Style Blogger Awards 2014 with my amazing friends His Name is Fashion, Hackney Rose and Two Shoes One Pair. It was so nice being there to cheer on Geraint, Naomi and Amy who were all up for awards! The event it was so much fun with the incredible festival theme and great atmosphere. Everyone was so lovely and there was so much to do, starting with drinking some glorious cocktails to getting your hair and nails done to festival inspired temporary tattoos - and so much more!

It was so nice to meet so many lovely people along with some gorgeous and super talented bloggers! I can't wait till next year! x

Call Me Collected

When the sun is out you can't go wrong with a long sheer kimono. I adore this one from Forever 21 with its cute earthy rose print and long shape. I kept in with a little hint of a boho vibe and accessorised with black leather boots and a black hat. x

Call Me Daydreamer

It's finally Summer in London and I hope this isn't just a short appearance. So all of this sunshine has me in the holiday mood (hopefully I'll be going to New York in August!) and on my wishlist is the staple bikini shape I love; the high-waisted 50's style and this gingham print one by River Island is absolute perfection on this silhouette. I love the pastel shades and nothing complements pastels like more pastels, some fresh white and florals! x

Call Me Mighty

Ever since the SS14 shows I've been obsessed with pastel anything, specifically pastel lace. I loved the mix of lace and polkadots from Burberry's show and that's were I got the influence for the look below. I'll definitely be mixing these prints and textures more! x

Call Me Funfair

So for those of you who don't know, I work in the fashion industry as part of the International Team at Oasis. Recently I got to go to the Oasis AW14 Press Day, it was an amazing Funfair themed event with displays on carousels and bumper cars and incredible food! The new collections are amazing, my favourites were beautiful winter pastel shades, coloured leather separates, and the conversational 70's style butterfly prints in co-ordinated accessories. Here are a few pictures from the day. x



And the delicious food!

 Not edible, but how cute is this knitted fish and chips, and the little hot dog!

Call Me Cosmic

I've been drawn to metallics this season ever since the Lanvin and Proenza Schouler SS14 shows. I hunted around for a metallic skirt; something I could wear easily with sheer pastel shirts or a cute jumper and I ended up finding an amazing one at Whistles. It was a bit pricey at £125 and just when I decided I would splurge and buy it I found an almost identical version at Warehouse for a fraction of the price. Now the fabric is slightly different and the silver is toned down a bit more in the Whistles version, but actually that is something I prefer more about the Warehouse skirt. It definitely did pay off to shop around that little bit more because I really did get a good find!
I am so in love with it and as it's so lightweight it will definitely be a piece to carry over when the weather begins to warm up. I wore it last weekend when out shopping with the amazing Geraint from His Name is Fashion and as it was a bit cooler I wore it with a polka-dot jumper and threw more monochrome in there with my shoes. x

Call Me Fixed

So it's pretty clear my obsession has been everything and anything midi-length. I seriously can't get enough and though I've mostly been wearing midi skirts, I also seem to be drawn towards midi dresses. I love this soft grey Warehouse cami midi dress. It's such an easy shape that could definitely be worn super casual with flat sandals or loafers, or a bit dressed up like the look below and worn with these dream-worthy lilac strappy sandals by Alexander Wang. Add a bit of printed accessories for some interest, some bright nails, layer up with more pastel hues and just wait for the sun to shine. x

Call Me Time

Yesterday I had my cousins Baby Shower and it was so much fun! I can't wait to meet the new arrival in around 7 weeks or so! We literally spent the day and night eating too much, playing games and trying to figure out what to name the little boy that will be joining us soon. 

I opted for head to toe monochrome; excluding my lovely candy pink coat from New Look and my pastel gem necklace from Forever 21. The midi skirt (yes, I know another one!) is from Warehouse and I love it's amazing structure and fabric.

Well I hope everyone is having an amazing weekend, and if any of you have suggestions for boys names please leave them in your comments! x

I love playing around with textures and colours in any shape and form. I was inspired by this Suno Cotton Crop and Pencil Skirt with its amazing structure and the woven gold thread. Playing around with colour I thought hits of electric pink would add a bit of interest. And for the accessories layers of gold, gold, and more gold because well, why not? x

Call Me Picture Perfect

Palm prints and really any tropical-esque prints have been all over the catwalks and highstreet for SS14. I adore this crop top from Warehouse, it's a really wearable way of wearing the print in the toned down shades of navy and cream. A bit of candy pink lips and some gold studs and I'll be ready to embrace the sunshine! x

Call Me Flow

I went vintage shopping with my amazing friends the weekend before last. Geraint of His Name Is Fashion and Sinead of Hackney Rose. We went to the East End Thrift Store's £1 jumble sale, and boy did I find some amazing pieces. You will definitely see me sporting my fabulous finds soon. 

As the weather was glorious I wore my amazing white slip dress from Forever 21. It has beautiful lace detailing on the front and around the sides and is such a comfortable piece. I literally felt like I was wearing a nightie, but to stop it looking like I was I paired my dress with a studded leather jacket and biker boots. x

Call Me Darling

A couple of weeks back I was off work battling an awful cold. I'm one of those people who can't sit still for very long, so being at home for 3 days I was going pretty insane; I mean how many episodes of Criminal Minds can I actually watch in one day?! I decided to spend my time a bit more creatively and spent a lovely amount of time on my sewing machine.

I have a ridiculous amount of fabric at home and I found this amazing two-tone fabric and knew I had to do something with it. I've been in love with Midi Skirts (obsessed is probably more appropriate) and decided this would be my little project. I opted for a double layer full skirt with pleat detail around the waist band to give the skirt some movement. 
(pinning my pleats in the pic above)

When I finally was able to wear the skirt I thought monochromatic florals would add a bit of interest contrasted with little hits of gold hardware on my studded clutch, shoes and belt. x
