It feels like it's been a while since I last did a wishlist post, so when the guys at Blue Inc got in touch about their fab New In collection I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to get moodboarding some items I'm loving and of course, it would inevitably add a few more items to my ever-growing lust list - I mean have you seen the gorgeous prints they have?!

First off there's no denying I'm a right old floral girlie girl, from cute little kitsch prints to bold statement designs, there's just summin' about a floral print that I can't say no to. I love the look of the pretty floral print blouse and could just picture it teamed with high waisted denim shorts and a statement collar necklace for an 80's inspired look. Equally, the dip hem tunic is a personal favourite style of mine, flattering and eye-catching, this dress with a bold lip colour and chunky heeled shoe to balance the look would be an evening outfit choice good to go.

So I may have mentioned I like monochrome before? Just maybe, like, umm a little bit? Well it's certainly not going anywhere with these patterned pieces! Palm and tropical prints, love them or hate them, are pretty huge at the moment, but luckily you can wave good-bye to the garish colour clashes of the Hawaiin shirt era and work the trend in a more demure, classic way with this lovely palm print jumpsuit. The ankle strap heeled sandals are also a pretty lust-worthy pair of footwear right now, I love the golden metal twist-clasp of this pair from Blue Inc and they're a great little addition to a simple outfit combination!

What do you guys think of the new collection from Blue Inc?

Monochrome

1. Formal Drape Front Blouse // Topshop   2. Black Molly Jeggings // River Island   3. Gold Cuff // TU at Sainsburys   4. Tan Sandals // Topshop   5. Leopard Bag // Next

I am absolutely loving all the pieces coming through Topshop this season, they're bringing out some killer classic pieces that have left me in kind of a Topshop addiction at the moment. Ok ok, let's face it, it's hardly a temporary thing, I always love Topshop but please can we take a second in memory of my poor bank account...

hmmm on second thoughts maybe best not to dwell..

The good news is at least I have this beautiful cream wrap blouse to show for it! Hurrah! I've teamed it with my ever faithful black jeggings from River Island, chunky belt from Accessorize and tan sandals also from Topshop (see, I wasn't joking). The chunky arm cuff I have on is believe it or not from the TU range at Sainsburys, it made a nice little addition to my food basket and I love a bit of chrome accents with monochrome style looks!

If your looking for something to fit in  the 'Smart-Casual' dress code I think this shirt is pretty perfect,  it's a great one to throw on to dress up just a simple pair of jeans or skirt! Now the tan sandals, these beauties are just so comfy to wear and I love that they have the whole 'slider' style look to them that's everywhere at the moment, they just have a little heel instead! I couldn't decide for ages if I preferred them in black or tan, but the tan won in the end as I already have a fair few black shoes and thought they would great with paler colours too! If you're in need of some black sandals however I would recommend!

Around The World In A Wardrobe

As a student ambassador for the brand Motel Rocks, this week they had us writing for their blog about what item reminds us most of holidays and good summer memories. So here is my piece on my favourite maxi dress!

The piece of clothing that undoubtedly has seen me through the most memorable of summers has got to be my favourite floral and paisley mix-print maxi dress.

From the sunset beaches of Ibiza, breezy strolls by the River Nile in Egypt, to English summer garden parties, the reliable maxi dress teamed with statement earrings and simplistic bejewelled sandals always makes for a perfect summer outfit, and is a staple item in my suitcase whenever I am travelling abroad! The delicate paisley print bodice is complimented by the softly scattered floral print skirt, encapsulating the fiesta side of summer. And with its floor skimming, floaty length, the dress is ultra feminine and comfy, making it a great choice for both day and night occasions.

Whenever I wear it, I am reminiscent of good times and memories with old school friends, recent times with newer friends, and life circa 2008 when I first bought the one-off dress in a little ‘tienda’ in Spain. I have no doubt that it will continue to serve me well through a few more years to come, gathering more memories as it goes!
