Pink Lady





Dress - & Other Stories (£13 in the sale!)
Sunglasses - Zara 
Clutch - Topshop
Shoes - Nine West

I bought this dress for a friends birthday night out last month as I felt no inspiration from my wardrobe so when I saw this dress on the Other Stories website instead of picking black which is natural instinct for me I decided to go for pink, surprising myself. When it arrived I was a little surprised to see how bright it was and worried incase it clashed against my skin tone but paired with nude accessories I found it was a welcome change to my wardrobe. I have received many compliments when wearing this dress although it does't photograph as well as in real life while it looks simple I think the fabric folding on the front add something special to it and the fabric is gorgeous and lightweight perfect for a summer evening. This has been my go-to dress for nights out and drink meet ups I feel that it's classy but a modern pop of colour adds youth, I'm a whole new woman this summer adding green, blue AND pink to my wardrobe oh my I feel dizzy!

Spring Chills









Scarf - F&F at Tesco
Cami - Brandy Melville
Bralet - Gilly Hicks
Jeans - House of Holland
Sunglasses - Asos Marketplace
Shoes - Kurt Geiger
Lips - MAC 'Costa Chic'

While it may look warm in the pictures there's still that chilly breeze lingering over Spring that's reminding us that Summer is not yet here although it provides a challenge to combine your Summer and Spring wardrobe together for that tricky 'in-between seasons' look. I found this Meadham Kirchhoff style scarf tucked away in my mums wardrobe which I'm sure she won't mind me borrowing, the bright coral adds colour to the look while keeping those spring chills away. I decided to go for a quite literal 'Cocktail Hour' look here wearing my beloved cocktail print HOH jeans with 'Cher' from Clueless style courts to create this 'I've spent all day at the beach but made last minute drinks plans'. I always feel that Spring presents an opportunity to inject some colour to my wardrobe I feel as though I'm becoming braver each year who knows next year I might even dare to wear yellow!
