(L-R)  Monki Denim Jacket, £50 / Monki Denim Shirt, £35 / Topshop denim top, £26 / Monki Blue Bustier, £20 / Topshop A-Line Skirt, £28 / Monki Black Jacket, £50 / Warehouse Jacket Dress, £52 /

 

Denim is a staple in pretty much everybody's wardrobe and so here are some of my favourite denim pieces for spring. Even though denim is always a reoccurring trend, it's a bigger and better for spring/summer this year - whether you like minimalist or more retro styles, the styling options are literally endless!

 

Monki's selection of denim at the moment is on point and my wardrobe is crying out for this gorge shirt. I've been wanting a denim shirt for a while and this is the perfect one, I love how minimalist it is and I think it would look great with black ripped skinnies and chunky silver sandals or worn undone over a striped dress.

 

I also absolutely love this a-line skirt from Topshop, which is really similar to the one from Alexa Chung's collection for AG jeans. It's the perfect skirt for this season and would look really cute styled with an off the shoulder crop top and platform sandals for a 60s/70s vibe.

 

Which is your favourite piece? How would you style denim pieces for spring?

ASOS Project - Styling

How I would style my Luna trousers for daytime, whether out shopping or going for a stroll in the park.

 

With a new season comes a new wishlist, so here are some items I've been lusting after recently, just click on the title for the link to the item :-)

Topshop White Cotton Shirt

Every wardrobe needs a white shirt and although I have a hell of a lot of shirts, for some reason I don't own a white cotton one so I need this one in my life asap. A white shirt is such a versatile piece, I'll be layering mine under printed jumpers with black skinnys and chunky boots this autumn.

Monki Grey Boxy Top

I seem to be obsessed with basics at the moment and I love easy, million ways to wear tops like this one, probably because early college mornings mean I don't want to think too much about putting an outfit together as I always seem to be in a rush so this is the kind of top I can throw on with a pair of skinnys and simple necklace and be good to go. I'm also attracted to anything marl grey just because it really does go with everything.

Topshop Dogtooth Cigarette Trousers

I love dogtooth print, and these trousers are gorgeous. They'll look equally as nice worn casually for the daytime as well as dressed up with a leather jacket and heels for the evening. I'm also a jeans or printed skirt sort of girl so I'd like to add more printed trousers into my wardrobe.

Monki Anjali Lace Bra

As I've said before monki do the prettiest lace bras, they're also great if you've got a small chest  because they're super comfy.

Urban Outfitters Backpack

Oh my, how beautiful is this backpack??? Urban always do gorge vintage-esque bags and I'm seriously in love with this one. Aside from canvas tote bags, backpacks are my favourite just because I think when worn slouchy on one shoulder they instantly add a kind of cool to any outfit.

Topshop 'Fast Lane' Lipstick

I've been looking for the perfect deep pink lipstick and after swatching this one in topshop I think I've found the perfect one. I also love the velvet finish - not quite matte but still nice and moisturising.

Like anything in my wishlist? What will you be wearing this autumn?

New In - What I Bought in London

Jumper - Monki 

Shirt - George @ ASDA (I bought this beforehand but how nice is this shirt?? & only £12!)

Dress - Forever 21

Shirt - Primark

Skirt - Forever 21

Top - Monki

Postcards & bookmark - National Gallery, floral tin - Sass & Belle, Rose gold eye pencil - & Other Stories, Necklace - Accessorize

Heyyyyyyy,

So, here are the clothes & other things I accumulated whilst in London. As soon as we arrived & had dropped luggage off at the hotel, we headed straight to Oxford Street - ahhh shopper's paradise. Forever 21 always have amazing clothes in, and it was a bit of a floral overload in there but I managed to find the dress and skirt (which I think looks like it could be from Urban Outfitters) which will be perfect for spring/summer. I also picked up this bright tropical jumper from Monki which was on my Monki wishlist which I adore, along with the monochome top with contrasting stripes which I thought was a cool alternative to your average Breton striped top.
We braved the huuuge Primark but it was insanely busy & very hot inside so I just grabbed the polka dot shirt as soon as I saw it because I have been wanting one for forever, and it was a steal at only a tenner :-)
I also bought a few postcards of artists work including Monet & Van Gogh's paintings which were displayed in the National Gallery to go up in my room as well as cute rose bookmark & matching tin from Sass & Belle in Covent Garden.
Finally, the only item of makeup I got was this rose gold/pink eye pencil which is such a gorgeous shade from & Other Stories (their whole makeup & body range is amaaazing), and the only item of jewellery this pressed blue flower pendant which I thought was really cool.

See anything you like?

Monki Wishlist for February

So I'm going to London in three weeks and it looks like I'll be spending all my money in Monki cos the stuff they have in at the moment is gorgeousssss. I love Monki and their Scandi style and I think these pieces will be great to transition from winter into spring, especially as *shock horror* there is some colour with the bright floral jumper :-))
I really cannot resist anything monochrome, (I think its becoming a problem haha) but I think the striped oversized dress will be a great basic to have in my wardrobe which I can dress up and down. I LOVE the light wash denim jacket and how the shape is quite boxy, I definitely think I think I need it in my life as it'll look so nice thrown on with anything.
Also how cute is this dinky backpack??? And triange bra?? Monki have such a nice selection of underwear- simple but really pretty.

Are there any pieces from Monki you're lusting after? Comment if you wish :-))
