PATTERN CLASH

I have been wearing dresses as we enter Summer, but not fully committing if that makes sense. I still feel I want to wear a cover up or a jacket. Especially in the UK. The weather is so changeable and I love jackets, cardis and coats.. so I struggle letting them go.

MONOCHROME MATTER

Silk Black Cloat - Topshop,

Circle glasses - eBay,

Mesh Jumper - H&M,

White Skort - Zara,

Black Boots - Topshop,

Monochrome Backpack - Primark

I really love this outfit, I know it's really matchy matchy.. but with monochrome being everywhere at the moment and with me loving the shades black and white, it was the perfect ensemble to put together. I am seriously in LOVE with this backpack. I picked it up in Primark last week and took to instagram straight away, keeping my followers in suspense, waiting for this very blog post to reveal where it's actually from. Surprised??

If you guys happen to buy it, which I'm sure you will. Instagram it and tag me in the picture, I want to see how many of my followers have equally amazing taste, and who actually read my posts :)

My whole outfit it surrounding the style of the bag, keeping it really edgy, monochrome obviously and clean lines. I love all these high street brands at the moment and my large circle mirrored glasses are finally out the draw and will be a top favourite over the next month. You can get these anywhere and there are so many variations on eBay.

Hope you like.

BLACK AND WHITE CO-ORD

Black and White Co-ord - Beloved,

Black Shoes - Zara,

Cross My Heart Sunglasses - Etsy

Last year I became so envious of the amount of bloggers discovering fantastic matching co-ords for their wardrobes and blog posts. Yet I have continued to wait until I found the perfect one. This black and white Beloved co-ordinate, including matching top and trousers, seemed perfect for my January blues. It's part of their latest Winter Collection and flying out of Topshop stores.

I have also been waiting for an excuse to wear my beautiful new shoes from Zara, that I managed to sneakily pick up in their sale for just £29.99. Unfortunately during this blog shoot, I managed to scuff the side of the left shoe and it has truly devastated me, as I'm quite the perfectionist.. but the show must go on and I managed to get over it.

Keeping to the black and white theme of the blog post, I have re-used some of my special frames from last year, my 'Cross My Heart' sunglasses, these were a perfect purchase a few months ago and you will be seeing a lot more of these this year.

LOVE IN LEOPARD

---

Black Cap - River Island,

Glasses - Primark,

Denim Look Sweater - Primark (mens),

Leopard Shorts - Primark,

Leopard Sneaks - VANS

Everyone loves leopard, and if you haven't got a naughty streak for it.. there is something wrong with you. I recently bought some leopard silk bedding which is reversible and has plain black on the other side, I love it. Since getting these Vans at Christmas off my sister, I needed a great garment to go with them, these leopard Primark shorts are amazing. For just 4 pound, they are a steal and they look such great quality as well. Primark have an amazing cheap range of shorts and for your holidays this year, it is a no brainer. For me the leopard ones are the best and I will be wearing these all through the Summer, they feel great and have a lovely black tie. 

I'm a size 8 but I actually bought these in a size 10. I wanted them slightly more baggy, as the size 8 were very short and I had too much cheek on show. The size 10 are perfect and more tasteful. So there is a little heads up! My addiction to venturing down to the menswear is still in full force.. and the most current item and fabric I'm purchasing at the moment is DENIM, down to my new job!! So when I came across this denim sweater lookalike, I had to get it. I love it and I'm sure I will get some mixed reviews, but sweaters are now a huge trend on the high street, with a more baseball, varsity niche in stores, this sweater would add to my collection. I have lots of sweaters now, they are so easy, simple to wear and go with everything. 

I decided to put my denim sweater with the leopard combo and to funk it up for the shoot, I teamed a hat and sunglasses to add some cool Summer vibes. 

Really hope you enjoy the post as much as I loved doing it.
