Call Me Lemonade

I am having such a label crush at the moment on For Love & Lemons. It's a line created by best friends Gillian Mahin and Laura Hall. The latest collection is a beautiful mesh of colours and textures with contrasts of pastels and bleached denim. The line always evokes a laid back and cute yet rebellious vibe and this collection does not disappoint. The pastels and denim are mixed around with ditsy florals and lace in lingerie like silhouettes and playful co-ords. The crochet and lace separates and dresses are my absolute favourites from the line and are also loved by some well known celebrities.

For Love & Lemons has been spotted on the likes of Vanessa Hudgens, Sophia Bush, Selena Gomez, the Kardashian/Jenner girls, Katy Perry and so many more. The pictures below are a few of my favourites from their 'Hot Texas Summer' Look-book and after seeing the images below it will become very evident why I adore this line. Now let's all get into the Summer groove and shop the collection here! 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!
Also have a look at Company Magazines pictures of the Press Day.

Call Me Heart

I absolutely adore any kind of nail art and rarely ever do much because I don't really have too many hours in the day to sit and purely focus on my nails. I saw this super cute 'Sticky Fingers' nail art kit from Models Own in this pretty floral theme and thought it looked easy enough, and so I wanted to give it a try for some Spring inspired nails. 

For easy and fun nail art I really can't recommend these enough. Literally just paint your nails, let them dry and place the stickers (I recommend using tweezers) in whatever sequence you like and a good top coat. For this I used my ultimate favourite Sally Hansen Mega Shine top coat and they've lasted for a few days now. The 'Sticky Fingers' kits come in an array of themes and honestly are so easy to use. Anyway I hope all of you are having a wonderful Easter Sunday! 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 Turn

I went out for dinner with my family and opted for a tonal pastel pink outfit with hits of black. I got this light pink sequinned crop top from Topshop in the sale for a bargain of £15. I love how the boyish boxy shape contrasts with the ultra feminine candy pink sequins. I hope everyone had a marvellous weekend. x

Call Me Limitless

Maybe my favourites for this week are a bit optimistic seeing as apparently we'll be getting snow in London soon. Oh well, hopefully in the near future I can look to get (and wear) some of my own white lace pants; these Givenchy ones are totally to die for and definitely on my wishlist. I thought about basics with a twist to accompany such a statement piece, so I thought of a candy coloured shirt, strappy nude Saint Laurent's and a navy leather jacket Danny Zuko would be jealous of. For a little added femininity don the nails with Barry M Silk Nail Paint and Oasis' gorgeous Limited Edition jewellery.

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.
