LEATHER PANTS

Shirt: Topshop | Trousers: Zara | Shoes: ASOS | Faux fur coat: Choies 

---------------------------------

I can't believe how comfy these Zara leather trousers are; I'm honestly still not over it! I've been lusting over these for ages, but never really rushed to get them because I assumed they would be incredibly uncomfortable, and comfort is increasingly becoming one of my top priorities. When I finally got round to trying them on, I was so pleasantly surprised, and with all the zip detailing, as well as the ribbed knees, aesthetically-speaking, these babies are my dream come true. 

They're so easy to style, and the best thing is that you can create a really awesome and yet casual outfit, or pair them with a heel for a night out! I can't wait to tackle the approaching colder days in London, by pairing them with a really chunky knit jumper and some boots. For this warmer day back home in Gibraltar, though, I teamed them up with my cute striped shirt, and ASOS 'Miami' flats, for a cool balance between feminine and grungy.

TRAINERS TREND

T-shirt: Topshop | Jeans: Topshop | Bomber jacket: H&M | Bag: Accessorize | Trainers: Nike via Footasylum

-------------------------------------------------

I must say I wasn't a huge fan of the trainers trend when it blew up last season - it just felt odd to wear the shoes I wear to the gym with my everyday outfits. But with this outfit, I had a change of heart, as I felt the trainers tied the look up together really well, especially as the outfit has quite a sporty and relaxed vibe, so the shoes aren't too contrasting in aesthetic and not too try-hard.

Here, I'm wearing my grey mesh Nike Roshe Runs, my black skinnies, my coral/salmon t-shirt (with sheer bits) for a pop of colour, and this awesome oversized bomber jacket that I picked up in the H&M sale the other day! I actually bought it in a size 14, because I hate it when bombers are too snug and fitted on me; I much prefer the more oversized and almost masculine vibe that oversized bombers can add to an outfit.

SEVENTIES SHEER

 

 Top/Jeans/Boots - all Topshop | Cardigan: thrift store | Bag: H&M | Necklace: independent shop in Tarifa, Spain 

--------------------------------------------------------------

I've been absolutely loving the throwback to 70's styles for SS15, but I haven't really had a chance (or funds) to buy new bits to rock the trend. Looking through my wardrobe the other day, I realised that I've had this floral blouse for years, but haven't really worn it all that much! It's one of those pieces that's got a great 70's feel to it, what with the print, and the puffy sheer sleeves, but isn't too trend-led, which I like. I paired it with my maroon jeans and chunky black boots to tie up the look together nicely, and wore my cool circle necklace for a subtle, yet effective bit of accessorising. (word?) Hmm.

Are you guys loving the 70's trend? Comment below!

PINAFORE DRESS TREND

 Bershka pinafore dress // Whistles cropped tee // Topshop choker // H&M long cardigan // ALDO sunglasses // Converse trainers // Mango leather jacket

---------------------------------------

This season we're seeing a huge denim revival with a surge of 70's and 90's trends hitting the shops for Spring and Summer! Dungarees have been on trend for ages, but a new take on that trend is the pinafore. Be it denim, tartan, leather or even suede, I love how you can style the pinafore dress in so many different ways for great summery looks. Here I've created a sporty/girly outfit with a Bershka denim pinafore dress, pink cropped tee and blue Converse!

In the two images below, I've ditched the blue for some black high-top Converse and a leather jacket for a slightly grungier and tougher look!

Matchy-Matchy

The last few seasons have been all about NOT matching, but rather, more focused on mis-matched looks and clashing prints. But for Spring & Summer 2014, it's all about matching sets! 

I'm not really one to over-think if my outfits are matching in the slightest, and tend to just throw things together based on whether I think the colour clashes or prints are interesting and appealing to me. But I have to say, I've really started to like this new trend and may be in search for a cute little set pretty soon!
