Earning My Stripes

For anyone who knows me they’ll be familiar with the fact I am pretty much obsessed with anything striped – especially tops!

My latest splurge on a recent visit to Birmingham’s Bullring was no exception, as amongst other spring-friendly accessories (shown below) I scooped up this adorable striped tie collar blouse whilst browsing the Topshop rails in Selfridges.

I ❤ the simplicity – it’ll be perfect teamed with denim cut offs (hello Daisy Dukes!) in the warmer months, and a simple colour block mini/midi skirt (or even maxi) come next month.

 

On my way to the till my eyes were averted once again, and I grasped these cute gold midi rings, and these beautiful earrings – perfect for adding a little bit of extra OMPH to any casual wear.

My last purchase (again, whilst standing in the queue!) was this Misguided midi leather number, in a beautiful dusky pink hue. I’m thinking teamed with a simple cream blouse or tee…

She’s So Shady

Much to my delight, we seem to have finally bagged ourselves a one-way ticket to spring. To celebrate, I decided on a recent trip to Birmingham Bullring (more goodies to come) to treat myself to a new pair of aviator shades.

Now I know £12 isn’t really buying to last, but similar to wine glasses (!) I seem to have a tendency to drop/smash these with ease, much like I managed to on my jollies in Cancun last October…

I opted for this classic silver pair – perfect with pretty much anything, but here a few outfit options off the top of my head include:

• Ripped spray-on-skinnies & a boho cami
• Black side split maxi skit & bright cami
• Foaty floral mini dress & diamante flat sandals
• and the ultimate match.. BIKINI & sandy surroundings 😉
