(FLORAL) shorts/playsuit style guide

So we all know that summer is right around the corner and that new trends are flooding into popular high street shops such as new look, river island, primark etc..

but with so many different styles (lace, floral, bright, colour blocking, statement shirts)
it can be confusing to know what is right on trend and what it not,
also, what goes well, and what should never be put together.

now, im not a fashion expert, trust me, but when it comes to summer i like to be wearing shorts/playsuits and cute things like that, looking cool while being cool? ok...enough of the jokes...


my first pic of choice is this rose-floral print playsuit found in newlook:
White Pattern (White) White Pastel Rose Print Playsuit | 251199919 | New Look
i own this myself, and it retails for £25.00 and can be found here
i love this playsuit as it can be paired with lace, soft browns, white, mint green, lemon, lilac, gold AND silver, so its a very universal peice.

i would match this with
Bright Orange (Orange) Orange Lace Ankle Socks | 249734382 | New Look
(£1.99)

Chestnut (Brown) Lace Tights | 227240125 | New Look
(£4.99)

Apricot (Orange) Limited Diamante Collar Necklace | 248737384 | New Look
(£12.99)

Biscuit (Stone ) Diamanté Feather Earrings | 248496715 | New Look
(£3.99)

White (White) Birdcage Pendant | 249683710 | New Look
(5.99)

Shell Pink (Pink) Dazzle Patent Brogues | 240084672 | New Look
(£19.99)

all items above are found at new look

now for shorts this summer, i would either be wearing
floral with pastel/white shirt
bold with bold shirt (orange shorts and blue shirt etc)
pastel shorts with floral shirt
soft brown shorts with floral shirt
this is a basic guideline, i would add quirky accessories to make the outfit more you
remember, accessories compliment the outfit, they shouldnt be the outfit
 
these shorts are found here at river island
there a very pretty pastel pink/coral colour, which can be perfectly matched with a floral top.
i think the following items would go perfectly with this peice:

(crop top, £30.00)


(front^                         £25.00            back^)



(£6.99)


(£5.00)

(£5.00)

(£40.00)

(£20.00)

(all items above can be found at river island here

SO, there is my way of how to style floral shorts. what do you think? are you a fan of floral? do you think these items go well together? do you recomend anything? comment below and share your thoughts!

(i am not affiliated with any of the companies mentioned in this post, i bought items with my own money and all opinions are my own)

A NEW FASHION SERIES?!

Hey readers!

so im starting a new blogging series, to do with fashion,
ive never blogged about fashion before but its part of everyones everyday life, wondering what should be paired with what.

SO, im going to be going through some popular styles in fashion right now:
floral
colour blocking
tribal print
monocrome

within each style, there will be 4 catogories (each catagorie will be a different post)
tops
shorts/playsuits
dresses
shoes


so for example, if i was doing floral tops, the post would be about the latest ones, where to buy them, and what can be paired best with them, with a mix of my own opinions, choices and what i own myself

so are you exited for this new series? i am! comment below and tell me what your favorite fashion of the moment is!

lush easter collection!!!

Hey peoples,
so, the other day i was browsing on the lush website, as per usual, when i saw a new tab,
as i looked at this new tab, i hypoventalated....
IT WAS THE LUSH EASTER COLLECTION!!!

sooo, before we all like, die of EXITEMENT, im just gonna get on with it...


Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the lush fluffly egg RETURNES!
we know we all look forward to this bath ballistic as it has the unique snow fairy scent which is only avalible at xmas, easter and in godmother soap.
this pink egg is £2.95

This new launch is called 'the carrot' very origanal...
anyways, lush has been very much into re-usable bubble bars recently, and this is another one.
nope, this aint' no ordanary carrot, this carrot smells tropical and is used in the same way as any other lush re-usable bubble bar. this carrot is £4.95

The immaculate eggception
We ALL know, every year lush comes out with there own version of an easter egg, bigger than your average cadbury cream egg easter egg. lush ones are better in my opinion, they smell yummy, there giant, and they have no calories. BONUS!
this year, the egg has a twist, it has ANOTHER bath ballistic on the inside, either a chick or a bunny.
these eggs supposidly smell like chocolate, but i could be wrong (reading off the site  here people!!) and the grapefruit oils inside it help to clear the mind and refresh the body, ill be definatly asking for one of these this year off my parents. retails for £7.00

Another gift lush have produced this year, is 'hoppy easter'
its a knot wrap gift which contains 7 baths worth of limeted edition lush treats
(Fluffy egg and the carrot re-usable bubble bar)
retails for £10.95

Chick knot wrap
this knot wrap is in the form of a cute chicken, it dosent come with anything inside but you could surley wrap this around a fluffy egg!
£2.95
