Call Me High

I adore high-waisted bikini's, I find them so flattering (and personally really good for hiding bits that I really want to hide). This is always my staple bikini shape, a few of mine from last summer are from ASOS, H&M and a few department stores. This season I love some of the prints on the catwalk have translated from the clothing onto the swimwear. From the staple palm and tropical prints, inverted colour matching coordinated prints and realistic florals. This makes for super eye-catching swimwear so much so, you'd be planning/dreaming of a year long summer holiday like me.

Call Me Lively

A while ago I posted about my love for Jessica Alba's style particularly when she wears Kenzo, and one of my favourite looks of hers was the amazing Kenzo yellow neoprene skirt she wore to the MTV movie awards. On my lust list is definitely a neoprene skirt of any kind in any colour. Below is another Kenzo skirt but in a shorter length and it is divine. I love the shape of the skirts and the fabric is so soft yet structured it is so wearable with also being a statement piece in itself. 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!
Also have a look at Company Magazines pictures of the Press Day.

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 Team

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 Hint

Maybe life is better looking through Rose-Tinted Glasses, I know mine would be if I was looking out of these dream worthy Mink Pink sunglasses. I love monochrome themed looks that have a hit of colour thrown in, but I always find that my percentage of black in the looks I normally wear is much higher. This Spring/Summer I will definitely be getting more white in my wardrobe and in key statement pieces like a coat and accessories. I adore this Trager Delaney white wool coat (how amazing is the detail on the shoulder?) and the ASOS white sandals. x

Call Me Second

Just a quick post, mainly just to say I am still ridiculously in love with my candy pink jacket. So so in love, yet I probably look like a marshmallow. Oh well! I carried on with the pink hues focusing on this beautiful floral skirt from Oasis. They're repeating the floral print in a blue background in a skirt, trousers, blazer and top in the next few weeks, I may have to snap them all up! Hope everyone is having a marvellous week. x

Call Me Cruel

So with Winter in full swing in London it is a tad bit depressing. Good thing that pastels are super cool (pun intended) for the season, with candy pink being my absolute favourite go-to colour. I've kept the upper part of the outfit tonal hitting baby pinks in all different shades, and for the rest it seems I'm channelling my inner Cruella De Vil with the Dalmatian print skirt and the lion heads on my shoes. The black accents; particularly the shoes and Alexander Wang clutch an edge to the ensemble without losing any of the femininity.
