Hearts and Selfies!

So what is hot this week ladies? 

Well the weather seems to have been lovely the last few days! Got my flip flops on and my embroidered summer jacket out for my beach walks even! Always searching for the hearts.....



Super cool designers are pulling out all the stops and opting for an 'origami' style this Easter. Crafting skirts that ripple with razor-sharp pleats played out in sporty cottons for the day and shimmering metallics by night. Team with flats or heels and add a cutesy knit jumper for a dazzling look.

Spent all your wages on Easter eggs and bunny ears? Fear not, the 'shoulder robe' look is so now, and so free. Any of your cardigans, jackets, over coats etc must be worn on the shoulders with the arms hanging down beside you. Effortlessly cool - think, 'just been out with my man and he popped his jacket over me' inspired look!

Got something to say? It seems you can 'wear your thoughts on you sleeve' is the way forward this season. Bright colourful logos and expressions are donning the high street tees and jumpers right now. Bursting with street flavour and sportswear styling, subtly whisper your thoughts to the world without saying a word!

Say it with embellishments and jewels galore this season. Everything from sport luxe to denim is seeing shiny and sparkly additions to the pieces. Razzle in crazy over-the-top beads, fringing and glitter and your outfit is sorted from work to play without changing! More is more, said it before!

And if you like a bit more of an edgy and rough look, go grunge and reboot the 1990s! Boob tubes, dragging-on-the-floor denim, skirts over trousers, kimono cutting, scarf dresses and leather-laced sandals are all part of this subversive trend. 'Nail the Nineties' redux look by wearing patchwork denim, leather mules, slip dresses and oversized power suits. Electric and moody, bring out the side worn cap, checkered shirt around your waist, bare midriff and braces. I'm opting for Victorian lace dresses with military jackets and my trusted ballet pumps, but go big and super retro and add Doc Martin boots to finish the style off.

I am also seeing lots of jungle prints and flowers on all-in-one jump suits right now. Soft floaty fabrics and vest tops attached to flared trousers and the skinny ankle version are a must have for your holiday. Easy to wear and great from day to night, pair a denim jacket with gladiator sandals or your trusted black suit coat with killer heels. This funky number is super hot from Next.


#DaretoBare the naked no make-up look last week. Have you? Such a great cause but can I just point out, no make-up means no make-up. I know every woman is beautiful, not arguing that...however some pics, actually quite a lot, the women are definitely wearing some! Completely defeats the reason of the cause but still, it has raised so much money and awareness, I will shut up now.

Here's a 'selfie' me and my big sister took on Mothering Sunday. We are wearing make-up! Hope you enjoyed a sun filled and fun loving day too!
