Pastel Sunshine.

Dress: c/o Navabi. Jacket: Simply Be. Clutch: H! by Henry Holland at Debenhams. Sunglasses: Specspost. Necklace: Black Heart Creatives. 

Lately I feel like I start every blog post with an apology because I've been away too long or somethings been happening in my life which has just meant by the time I'm sitting in front of my laptop to write up my brain can't function. I'm hoping this is just a phase as I utterly adore my blog but due to lots of things happening in my life it's taken a back seat in the last few months and that is something I can only apologise for! 

I was sent this dress by the fab team at Navabi to wear for my Final Year University review which was far too long ago now but I was offered an unconditional place there and then so clearly the dress is a lucky one! I'm wearing the equivalent of a UK20 here and it fits like an absolute dream! When I get pieces from Navabi I know that I'm not only getting a high quality garment but also you get to see the total care the company take in sending the items to their customers (or bloggers in this case) and this dress did not disappoint! This is a heavy weight lined dress which isn't ideal for the current hot weather but was perfect to wear in May and will be perfect to start wearing come Autumn. 

As it is now summer and Navabi have some of the most amazing pieces on their site I'm planning on do a Currently Coveting feature on some of my favourite items! You will also shortly be able to see a video of this look over on my YouTube Channel!

Boohoo Plus!

Dress: c/o Boohoo. Leggings: c/o Taking Shape. Sunglasses: Specspost. Shoes: Evans. Bag: H! by Henry Holland.

I was sent this fab dress by the lovely guys at Boohoo quite some time ago but I've only just had a chance to get some photos of me in it. I'm currently obsessed with anything with a mesh panel in the hem so this was something I saw straight away and fell in love with. Now I'm only 5'2 but it's still rather short, I was going to shoot this with my pasty pale legs out but my mum informed me that you could see my knickers through the mesh when I moved so I quickly popped these leggings on in a hurry and I have to say they're something I'd normally shy a way from but the pattern in them was just far to pretty to leave. I picked these up as part of my goodies from my Taking Shape store visit. The shoes are very old from Evans which I pull out every summer without fail and finally a bag I truly love but barely use as clutches are something I don't tend to use but how could you refuse Hollands face as a Bagazine - just perfection. Just a slick of bright pink lip colour to tie it all together. 

The Boohoo Plus range is something that I was really looking forward to as they're main range pieces have always looked fab and had really good price points and the plus size range hasn't thus far disappointed. I've ordered some pieces myself and other than finding some of the sizing a little funny I think there is a great range of different styles, from basics to something a little more edgy. In this dress I'm wearing a UK size 20, I would say it's pretty true to size but does cling slightly so if you wanted a looser look I'd suggest sizing up as I would also suggest sizing up in any of there plus size shift dresses as these were fitted on my stomach even in a 22. 

Have you tried anything from the Boohoo Plus range yet?

Colour Pop!

 Men's Tee/Sunnies: Primark. Leggings: Matalan. Bagazine: H! by Henry Holland (eBay). Heels: Evans.

I'm afraid to say this is probably the closest I'll ever get to the Sports Luxe trend, though generally speaking I'll more than happily swap these heels for a pair of converse! I wore this a few weeks ago while it was really warm as this is my current go to look when the temperature climbs. I mean it keeps me cool and I'm comfortable so when the weather is at boiling point the last thing on my mind is if my outfit is flattering! I have a love of over sized mens tee's I tend to pick up the biggest most stores I go in sell and see if it's baggy enough to my liking, I think this is a XXL from primark men's. I tend to roll the sleeves up and this for some reason makes it look so much better!

The dip dye leggings just give it a cool edge and it's super subtle so often it goes unnoticed. The heels were something I bought and wore for my 6th form prom which you can see in the post below. I rarely wear them but when I do I find them surprisingly easy to walk in and not particularly uncomfortable like I tend to feel in every other type of heel! The bagazine is something I love dearly and my dad won for me on eBay after I lusted for so long in the shop over  but could never really afford for myself at the time. I adore the majority of Henry Hollands diffusion line for Debenhams but unfortunately I don't always fit in the collection, I do though own a few tee's from it which are quite roomy! These tied together with my bright pink lipstick and coloured sunglasses finish off an otherwise extremely basic outfit with the quirky and unique edge I always try to strive for with my fashion choices.

This is the kind of outfit you'll probably be seeing quite a lot of over the rest of the summer, do any of you shop in the Men's section or shops without caring what others think?
