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!

What do you think of this look?

 

The Warrior Collection; from Dixi

Hi everyone! As a complete and utter jewellery junkie, I'm very excited to show you all the new collection from the gorgeous online store Dixi. I first discovered Dixi through Twitter (@shopdixi) and it was love at first sight! The 'Warrior Collection' features a Navajo inspired set of earthy jewellery and clothing with a few elements of a tougher edge representing a warrior side! The pieces themselves are so affordable it could almost justify owning the whole collection, however with an intention to be sensible, below are a few of my favourite picks!

I love the mystical-rainbow gem stones of the rings, I know I won't be the only one to say they remind me a lot of the mood rings my friends and I used to collect when we were younger! (Mine always used to turn bluey-grey, which I think apparently means I'm happy! Whether the science behind this is correct who knows, but I'll take it!) Speaking of friends, how amazing are the woven friendship bracelets as well?

At the moment I'm also loving the punk-inspired trend of plentiful spikes and studs. These cuff bracelets and rings are definitely the perfect fix and they look great teamed together!(See the pic below)

Pretttyy Mystic rings!

Bar from the lovely jewellery pieces there lots of vintage sheer shirt dresses and blouses available which are perfect to throw on in the summer evenings.  My favourite is this gorgeous 'Elle pattern shirt dress'. Available here. It's so feminine and floaty and I love how it's been nipped in at the waist with a classic belt!

£26.00
