Outfit of the day - Dark Florals





Top - Primark|| Jeans - Topshop|| Kimono - H&M|| Shoes - Primark|| Belt - TK Maxx


Even though I feel a little bit like I'm wearing a dressing gown when I wear this kimono, I love it! It's flattering, not too long and is a lovely print! I'm now on the hunt for some equally as beautiful kimonos, I think this has started a new obsession! As for everything else I kept it simple and black, I seem to be going through an obsession of wearing a lot of black ATM! Being chubby, particularly in the leg department where there is no thigh gap to be seen, I find wearing black makes me feel 1000% better on those no so confident days. Plus these Topshop jeans are so comfy and flattering I never want to take them off!


Thanks for reading!

Summer vibes



PASTEL POWER !

So, the last few days in England have been super sunny and given me the fluttery feeling I get when I know summer is just around the corner.
What better to go with beaming sunshine, a happy buzz of the people around you, BBQ's and beer gardens? The power of the pastels!

Working in retail as a visual merchandiser for New Look, I'm quite lucky in that I get a first insight into new trends, colour pallets and patterns. So when we got a huge delivery of ginghams, florals and pastels to say I was muchos exciteos was an understatement.

I completely adore this pastel blue, textured box top with 3/4 sleeves pictured below


I paired this top with a pair of culotte like floral shorts, white converse AND my gorgeous new pastel lilac and holographic, rounded acrylic nails. To tone down the girlyness of this outfit I added a little urban edge with these silver tube midi rings and a diamanté chandelier necklace. 

All items mentioned above can be found at newlook.com and the nail lacquer used on my nails is by O.P.I called 'do you lilac it?' and you can find that here
