All White Everything

As much as I love bright and vibrant colours for Summer, my favourite hue at the moment has to be white. But not just white, all white everything! A key trend for Summer ('white on white') welcomes the layering of white coloured items, which I am loving at the moment. Even though I've not really tried the layering effect in this post, adding a blazer or outer layers would work perfectly with the textured crochet dress!

Dress - H&M
Flower headband - ebay
Shoes - Daisy Street
Necklace - Fossil

My latest obsession for Summer is the crochet pattern and while searching for the perfect item I came across this cute, girly dress in H&M. This is perfect for Summer, festivals and most importantly emphasizing a tan! For me, crochet is the perfect festival fabric and especially in the aftermath of Coachella I think it will be a popular look in the next few months. Personally, I love the intricate detailing which can add a touch of texture to any outift. 

A Velvet Crush

Leggings - Asos
Tartan Shirt - Zara
Crop Top - Topshop
Frilly Socks - Topshop
Converse - JD Sports
Chain - River Island
Ring - Primark
Scrunchie - Unsure...had this for years!

Another week, another impulse buy! Once again I gave in to a tempting Asos sale item in the form of these black crush velvet leggings. You might have already noticed, velvet has made a revival, fitting in with the baroque trend which has emerged this Autumn/Winter and especially in the lead up to Christmas as we begin to see velvet dresses - perfect for a party outfit!

I decided to go for a more sensible option, opting for some leggings to keep myself cosy - a bargain price of £17.50 helped persuaded me even more. If you're looking for something which is a bit different, I would suggest adding some velvet as the change in texture can make something as simple as a pair of leggings that little bit more interesting. Here I've gone for a kind of 90's/grunge theme with a scrunchie, a baggy crop top and a tartan shirt.
