TIP... the skirt suit is such a great summer look especially if you wear a mini and add trainers to make this look edgier and less formal plus play with print again like a heavy block stripe

TIP... a classic red looks great as denim and to give this a modern sporty edge the minimal bomber jacket is simply styled with it to keep the look clean again the trainers and cap give this a street twist

Florals.....

TIP... panels are a great way to wear this trend for those who are not so girly like myself and the combination of contrasting this print with white keeps this looking fresh and modern

TIP... a sweatshirt and pencil skirt is a great combination for summer and don't be afraid to wear this outfit with flats for a c cooler day look the panels on the skirt keep this shape flattering as the block sides give the effect of a slimmer appearance

TIP... its a season for shorts and this digital floral effect is a strong new way to wear florals which I have contrasted with a block coloured top in a similar shade to the shorts match a crop shape top with a high waist to keep this flattering and it shows off the print more

InStyle, April issue

stripes and summer go hand in hand see what you can do....

Dungarees.....

The 90's are back this summer as most of you have probably seen and the most covetable piece to wear is the new all in one; dungarees.  This week I am am giving away a sterling silver ring by Kirsten Goss (the T bar one on the ring finger)that I would add to my collection of rings and can start off or add to your collection too!  Rings are key to my style so if they are yours too then RT the blog website for your chance to win!

TIP... dark denim dungarees are a great way to go for a smarter look or mix the shades of denim with a pale shirt add simple court shoes for dungarees that are shorter in length as this adds  length to the look instead of cutting your legs off

TIP... for a more grown up way to wear dungarees let the bib front hang down and wear with a loose top or slogan jumper and have added a block heeled shoe to give this look a more glamourous edge but go for a smaller heel height for a cooler day look

TIP... these silky pair of dungarees are your perfect pair for summer loose and laid back they look great with a simple colour shirt if you have gone for a print like these and add silver jewellery to all looks for more personality to each outfit
