Four Ways to Style Fluted Sleeve Top

Hi my lovelies it feels like it's been a while since I last did a fashion post. I recently went in to Zara as you do and was in complete melt down from all the gorgeous pieces they currently have in there.

Zara has always been that go to store for me it never seems to fail when it comes to those key items that are slightly edgy, on trend with a classic twist hence making it easy to incorporate in to your wardrobe. The only downside with Zara which is a big one for me (literally) that I have noticed lately a lot of their items do not seem to carry larger sizes which is slightly annoying as I have put on weight over the last couple of years and am now realizing how difficult it can be to find clothes that fit well and suit my body shape. That being said I did end up buying one item which is the main feature of this post; The Fluted Sleeve Top.

Sometimes we can find ourselves in a fashion rut and end up sticking with what we feel's comfortable and knowing that particular style suits us so we end up recycling that same look over and over again.............not that there is anything wrong with ripped jeans and a tee, but sometimes we need to take risks, step out of our comfort zones, be fearless and have fun with it.

So with this post I am being a little selfish here as it is based on the top I bought and I am already feeling inspired from these looks I have created and hopefully it will inspire you too.

Enjoy!

My Choices of Bridesmaid Dresses for a Beach Wedding

Hey Lovelies it is that time of year when some of us will be in the midst of preparing to celebrate friends and family member's wedding's whether it be as a guest or to actually take part on the day there is always that big question a girl asks herself, What do I wear?? A question that I happen to ask myself every single damn day.

Which brings me nicely on to this as I am one of those girls that has a wedding coming up soon which will be on a tropical island (cant wait...eeeek!). The soon to be bride came up with this crazy idea of asking me to be their bridesmaid of which I happily accepted hence me being on the hunt for the perfect dress. I have been stalking the shops on my lunch break's and trolling through the internet in the evening's looking for bridesmaid dresses that will tie in with the theme of the wedding as well as hopefully looking half decent on me.

I thought it would be a great idea to share my picks of Bridesmaid Dresses from the ASOS Wedding shop as it may help some of you out there who are having the same struggles as I am. I cant lie has been and is difficult to find dresses that will suit my pear shape body, that are not too clingy, covering me in all the right places, light weight fabric (because it's going to be HOT), not too low cut at the front and most importantly the soon to be Bride is happy with it.

Anyway enough of my blabbering below are My Choices of Bridesmaid Dresses for a Beach Wedding.

Enjoy!

ASOS Hollywood Contrast Maxi Dress in Soft Pink
TFNC Bandeau Chiffon Maxi Dress in Cashmere Blue
ASOS Bardot Fishtail Maxi In Floral Print Multi
ASOS Lace and Pleat Maxi Dress in Grey
Needle & Thread Strappy Backless Tulle Embellished Maxi Dress in Lemon
Needle & Thread Foliage Cluster Tulle Maxi Dress in Ballet Pink
ASOS Corsage Wrap Maxi Dress in White
ASOS Frill Detail Maxi Dress in Green
Chi Chi London Bardot Neck Sleeveless Maxi Dress with Premium Lace and Tulle Skirt in Rose Cloud
Vila Lace Top Button Back Maxi Dress in Cashmere Blue

My Spring Accessories Wish List for 2016

ILLESTEVA- Leonard Tortoise with Blue Mirrored Lenses

Hi Lovelies how is your week going so far? I had a chilled sun, sand and sea weekend on the island of Langkawi which is a small island off the mainland coast of Malaysia. It is one of those places where there is not much to do….which was perfect! I may do a blog post on it so if there is something in particular you would like me to cover please feel free to comment below.

Now for most of you who are reading this post you will be enjoying one of my favorite seasons which is Spring. Spring time makes me think of daffodils, sun crisp mornings and the occasional wet day if you live in the UK you know how it goes! It also means that exciting time of year when there is a fresh new season of fashion and accessories for us to gander over.

I recently discovered a company called Spring which the name immediately sparked my attention and was challenged to share my Spring items "must haves" which of course I was more than happy to do because for anyone who knows me I do have a slight obsession when it comes to sunglasses, handbags, scarves and the list goes on.
I love the idea behind the brand of how they were inspired by the beautiful boutiques lining New York City’s Spring Street in SoHo and have created their brand to emulate the experience of having all those shops available in one place. They have over 850 brands to choose from which is crazy big and whilst browsing their website I came across brands that I know and adore as well as discovering some new ones which is always refreshing.

Before we get into my some of my faves below I do have a confession to make, I really struggled to narrow this down as there is soooooo much to choose from I was feeling slightly overwhelmed to say the least but I managed to narrow it down in the end!

Anyway enough of my blabber because I'm starting to bore myself now. Below Is my picks for this years Spring Accessories from Shop Spring. Enjoy:)

It's all about the pastel's and neutral tones for Spring.
A Peace Treaty Mamos Blue Scarf & Urban Outfitter BDG Washed Canvas Baseball Hat

Rebecca Minkoff "SOFIA" Crossbody bag

Melissa Joy Manning Turquoise Hug Hoops & Vrai and Oro- Line Stud Earrings Rose Gold

I am loving this sunglasses brand ILLESTEVA above. They are designed in New York and handmade in Italy.

Daniel Wellington 'Classy Sheffield' Rose Gold Watch, 26 mm

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Suki Crossbody Bag

Vrai & Oro Double Stacked Diamond Line Ring Rose Gold & Luv AJ The Mahe Ring Set

You can find all items above on Spring Website; www.shopspring.com

I would love to hear what are your go to items for Spring? I always have to have a pair of sunglasses on the ready I feel they do add something to an outfit and I'm in need of replacing my current crossbody bag for a new one as the one I have is on it's last leg....any excuse.
