Style Files - Cropped

I am not a cropped top kinda gal. Sure, I love a bandeau under a sheer shirt or cut out top but when it comes to getting the midriff out in, like, public - Big no no. But I loved this embellished tee so much I decided to overlook the fact that it is cropped and bring it home to experiment with.

It will look great with high waisted jeans or even over a plain vest for a relaxed feel. But for Friday night dinner plans I paired it with a chic lace pencil skirt so that just a half inch of skin was showing - that I can just about handle! Bring on New York to get a little tan on my British limbs before I break this baby out once more!

Have a fabulous weekend! Bisous xx

Style Files - Dior Not War

I am a sucker for a printed tee and this one is no exception. To smarten it up I dug my contrast sleeve Mango tweed out of my closet and reached for my fave brocade trousers from Zara. A statement tee like this one needs minimal accessorising so I kept it simple in my 'Holiday' nails and coral lips (naturally!)

Coralista

I am loving shades of coral this season. There is something about that orangey red shade that whispers long happy days in the sunshine. I thought I would share a few coral bits and pieces that I have picked up lately and am wearing incessantly. This is a flattering shade to most skintones and just wearing a splash of it on lips, nails or accessories instantly puts me in a good mood! Time to coral up ladies!

Style Files - Rollin' with da Homies

I had to have this T-Shirt when I spotted it in Urban Outfitters the other day. Justified by the fact that I am off to New York in only 2 weeks time of course! I love pairing a casual T-Shirt with a dressy skirt and heels like this one from Zara. I'm a little in love with the stipes and foral contrast print and think it will work just as nicely dressed up as it does dressed down. Gotta love a versatile wardrobe item!
