Style Edit: Tropical Trends

Hello Everyone! I've got another Style Edit to share with you today to give you some summer style inspiration. Enjoy :)









What I'm Wearing

Co-Ords - AX Paris
Flower Crown - Primark

Unfortunately the weather here in the UK has been less than tropical but I'm definitely not ready to say goodbye to cheerful summer prints and hello to chunky knits yet. These tropical printed co-ords make me feel as if I'm sipping sangria in the sun even if I'm desperately trying to catch the last rays of sun in my back garden. I'm so obsessed with the co-ords trend and these instantly caught my eye on the AX Paris website; you don't often see such bright prints on the high street and these are even brighter than they appear in the pictures. Definitely not anything to wear if you want to blend into the background! I also think the bright green would look fabulous against darker skin tones too and this would make a great day-to-night outfit for holiday. I love the pom-pom detailing on the hems, it's little details like this that I always look out for when buying from the internet as it always makes items look much more expensive than they are. These are actually sold as a set too which I much prefer as it often works out cheaper than buying the top and bottoms separately. All in all, I would definitely recommend these to anyone who is off on holiday soon or if you simply want to feel as if you're in the Maldives when you're really in the Midlands.

What are your favourites outfits to stand out in a crowd?

Style Edit: The LBD

Hello everyone! I thought I'd show you my latest purchase from PrettyLittleThing, enjoy!









What I'm Wearing

Boots - H&M

Every girl needs a little black dress in her wardrobe and luckily there are some fabulous ones available on the high street this season. I'm actually going to Ibiza in a few weeks so naturally I needed to update my summer wardrobe and a LBD is essential for any night out. This one from PrettyLittleThing immediately caught my eye. It's a bit different to others that I've seen on the high street at the moment and I think the little shoulder pads and sheer mesh details make it look much more expensive than it actually is. I personally love the androgynous, vampy look and think this dress would look great paired with studded accessories and a leather jacket, with a dark, vampy lip but you could easily make this more feminine with a pink lip and fishtail braid. Be warned, this is one of those dresses that you'll need a strapless bra for and it's VERY tight so this isn't one to chuck on after you've eaten an entire large dominos pizza to yourself (don't lie, we all do it!) Leave me a comment and let me know where your favourite LBD is from.

Style Edit: Candy Colours

Hello everyone! I thought I'd show you another piece I bought from the Missguided website which is now on sale! Candy colours are a classic trend for summer and this sweet polka dot dress is one of my favourite from the Missguided collection.









What I'm Wearing

Dress - Missguided
Flower Crown - Newlook
Necklace - Newlook
Denim Jacket - Topshop
Sandals - Boohoo

This dress isn't for everyone; it's very feminine and reminds me of a dress that Ariana Grande would wear. However, if you wanted to tone down the sugary sweetness, you could create an interesting contrast by pairing it with a studded denim jacket and cut out boots. The dress has an under skirt made of netting which gives it a 50s rockabilly feel while the cut out side detailing updates it for SS14. The puff ball skirt means that this could be worn by almost anyone of any shape because of its very flattering a-line shape which skims any problem areas. You could wear this to a summer picnic or even pair it with some white heels for a cute party look.

What are your favourite candy coloured summer items?
