Culottes

Striped Crepe Culottes // Primark

Red Wrap Around Top // Jane Norman

Red Patent Tie Front Heels // M&S

Red Hair Flower // Claires Accessories

I dared myself to pick up these culottes after seeing them in my local Primark store, I loved the look of them on the posters for Primark SS15 and decided I was gonna bite the bullet and get them, despite the whole short legs = no culottes thing!

Having had disaster after disaster with other below the knee things such as midi skirts and sporty playsuits making me look even shorter I was pleasantly surprised when I tried these on, they are made of a crepe material which not only make them feel really expensive (these look and feel more like Zara or Mango quality yet were only £17!) and even when worn without heels look pretty cool! yay! :) 

My only critique is that If they were horizontal stripes it would prob be even better for the whole height thing but I really like these and this super cool nautical feel they have to them - a great option for something to wear for work that's different!

Spring 15 Edit - Lust List

This month is without a doubt the worst & longest wait for payday, am now at the point where I'm having to come up with creative dinner ideas from whatever is in the cupboards, although it is the easiest month to make a wishlist as once the sales have started to dwindle, boom! in comes all this pretty spring stuff & this year its all about 70's 70's 70's!

Topshop never let us down when it comes to any vintage style trends and again they do not disappoint. It has the most dreamiest collection of pinafores, smock dresses and boots which I can't wait to try and see if I can get my hands on when its payday, guarantee these will sell out fast! Here are my best picks of Spring and what's new online & in stores at the mo!

Clockwise from Top: 

Daisy Print Collar Dress - Topshop

Blue Skinny Flare Bell Bottoms - Rokoko 

Black Lace-Up Front Playsuit - Pretty Little Thing

Paisley Shell Print Vest Top - Topshop

Brown Paisley Playsuit - Pretty Little Thing

Snakeskin Print Suede Tassle Bag - TopShop

Stripes are also back though this year with more colour,  the monochrome colour block style stripes that have dominated the fashion world for the last few SS season are now  taking a step back and making way for these colourful deck chair, seasidey kinda stripes for a cool spring look. Monochrome stripes are still about though for those of you who who are not fans of colours!

Here are some of my fave picks that are also on my lust list for this month. I've been scouting around for new brands to obsess over this year and have found loads of really cool ones including Aussie based label - Discount Universe, Ichiban, Lovers & Drifters and MeeMee. I have had Gypsy Warrior on my radar or some time now but think I def need to make my first purchase with the Rose Nightfall dress! Think mesh dresses are gonna be a great layering staple piece for me this spring whilst we wait for the temperatures to climb! Hurryyy Upppp Summer!

Bambi Print High Neck Top & Shorts Co-ord - Oh My Love

Lastly, I thought I'd also share with you the Primark SS15 spring preview that was held in London a few weeks ago. Some AMAZING things here, that have already started appearing in stores. Primarni just keep getting better and better! The Holographic Jacket is definitely on my wish list for the festival season!
