ASOS X TEXTILE FEDERATION
Dress: Textile Federation for ASOS | Jacket: Topshop | Shoes: Adidas | Bag: TK Maxx
---------------------------------------------
I am so in love with this dress by Textile Federation's collaboration with ASOS (here). I had never even heard of this brand before, but I adore so many of their pieces - they're all so funky and original. If I ever became a designer, this is the sort of aesthetic I'd go for; a lot of monochrome, and unique & awesome prints. Since I bought it, I've worn this dress two ways: as you see it here - baggy and slightly androgynous, with trainers - and also cinched in with a black waist belt, and paired with my lace-up heels! I absolutely love both looks, and what's more, I love how a unique piece like this can be a utilitarian day/night look, so you can really get a good wear out of it.

CREEPING INTO AUTUMN
Crop: Motel Rocks | Dress: Bershka | Bomber: H&M | Bag: H&M | Shoes: Adidas
----------------------------------------------
This H&M bomber - which I picked up in the sale for only £15 a couple of months ago - is a perfect transition piece for the forthcoming colder weather. I'm really not much of a winter dresser, but as this bomber is actually quite thick and warm, it's perfect to create a funky look and also to combat the chill. I also recently dug up these Adidas high-top sneakers from my wardrobe, which are also helping me transition from Summer to Autumn. Trainers and sneakers, generally, allow for a seamless adjustment between the seasons, and while I'm able to ditch all my old sandals and other summery shoes, they're still not the warm winter boot that I'm sure I'll be sporting in the next couple of months!

MILITARY
T-shirt: Primark | Jacket: Topshop | Jeans: Topshop | Shoes: Converse | Bag: Accessorize
---------------------------------------------
I don't even know if they're an emerging or even current trend, but I've had this Topshop camo jacket since all things military burst onto the scene a couple of years ago, and have only started wearing it again recently! A jacket like this one is such a great staple piece that can be styled with any plain old monochrome outfit, but has the ability of adding a bad-ass and chilled out aesthetic without much effort at all - while also mixing up the colour palette. I love my leather jackets and grey bomber jackets, but pieces like this make a fantastic alternative for a stand-out look! My tip is to team them up with a shoe that nobody would expect. While these leather Converse are running on the same tomboyish vibe as the outfit, the clashing red colour draws in the eye and adds something a little different.

CIRCLES & STRIPES
T-shirt: Topshop | Shorts: Forever 21 | Bomber jacket: H&M | Shoes: Converse
------------------------------------
Here's a quick post featuring one of my new favourite combos that I wore for a cycle along the river; I've been loving pairing circles and stripes lately! It's probably a combination that shouldn't work, but I feel like both prints are subtle enough that they don't particularly overwhelm each other.

CHAIN SANDALS
T-shirt: Topshop | Pinafore dress: Bershka | Bag: Gifted | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban | Sandals: ASOS
------------------------------------------
These new ASOS sandals definitely took some time to break into; the chain detailing, which is the main reason I bought them, doesn't really allow for too much stretching, but finally, several blisters later, they're soft and comfy to wear. I love how that minimal detail can add so much to a look, and I also love the straps round the ankles, which gives them much more of a boho feel! I think they look so cool paired with my pinafore dress (genuinely think this dress has made 3 or 4 appearances on my blog already) and I absolutely love the colour combination between the orange, and the acid-washed black/grey.

BANG FOR MY BUCK
Dress: H&M | Belt: Topshop | Sunglasses: Topshop | Sandals: Zara
---------------------------------------
One of the reasons I love being back home is because I have the opportunity to rummage through all the abandoned items in my wardrobe and give them a new lease of life. I found my old sandals amongst all the rubbish, and remembered how much I used to love these babies. Regardless of them being a trend or not, my love for gladiator sandals is endless, and even though this season, it's all about more boho-vibes lace-up sandals, I love the slightly tougher aesthetic that these ones add to my outfit.
This dress; a newer addition to my wardrobe, is definitely one of the best items I've purchased this summer! Not only do I love the colour, the print, and the super soft feel, but it's also so easy to style and can be dressed down or up depending on the occasion. At a mere £14.99, I've really gotten a lot of bang for my buck with the number of times I've worn it! Happy days :)

RIPPED JEANS
Crop top/Kimono/Jeans: Topshop | Bag: Gifted | Heels: ALDO
-------------------------------------------------
I love these lace-up heels so much; they have the ability to make any outfit look good! I had never really jumped on the ripped jeans bandwagon, but as result of desperately needing a pair for my "uniform" as a backstage dresser at Runway 2015, I bought these! I'm so happy I did because they just make any outfit look that little bit more edgy, and are super high-waisted too.
I'm also loving this kimono I picked up in the Topshop sale! I just can't get enough of the contrasting stripes and flowers print; so gorgeous, and so pretty paired with the salmon crop top!

MY FAVOURITE SHORTS
Bralet: SheInside | Shorts: Forever 21 | Necklace: Bijou Brigitte | Sunglasses: Topshop
----------------------------------------------
These shorts might just be one of the best purchases I've made all year. I'm literally wearing these to death this summer; I wear them to sleep, to the beach, and even to go out - it's really all about how you style them!
I also decided to pull this faux leather bralet out from my wardrobe the other day; this thing hadn't really seen the light of day since last summer. I don't know why, because it's one of those pieces that's just so simple to style, and can make any outfit look that little bit better. Check out another way I styled this bralet here!

MISSGUIDED FLORAL
Playsuit: Missguided | Bag: Gifted | Sliders: Schuh
---------------------------------
I'm not usually one for overly colourful playsuits, but when I spotted this two-toned pink playsuit on the Missguided website, I was sold! Not only was I attracted to the colour and print, but it was also in the sale - how could I not?!
Honestly, it has the potential of being an extremely comfortable piece, but I feel like I'm just a little too tall for it, or my torso is too long, or something weird like that, which made it slightly restrictive! But if you're under 5ft8, this is definitely a winner!
I paired it with a straw fedora and my white unicorn sliders for a chilled out pool-side vibe! I really can't get enough of these shoes! Not only are they different to your average sliders, but they also go with absolutely everything, while adding something a little fun and quirky to any look!

STRIPES AND LIME
Crop: Topshop | Shorts: Forever 21 | Sandals: Forever 21 | Sunnies: ALDO | Necklace: Topshop
---------------------------------------
I've been loving these striped Forever 21 shorts recently. Usually I'm a size XS, but because I purchased these in a Small, they're not as high-waisted as I had initially expected them to be. I'm actually so glad that they're not, because I feel that their slouchyness adds a certain cool and effortless vibe to an outfit that is otherwise more put together. I love the contrast between the shorts and the lime crop, and the lace up sandals just finish the whole look off perfectly, for that chilled out aesthetic.
