Day Trip To Bristol Docks

Hi everyone! So a few days ago I decided to go to Bristol Docks for the day; I took a few pictures of the area and what I was wearing which I'll post below to hopefully give you some Autumn outfit inspiration. Enjoy :)

What I'm Wearing

Top - River Island

Jeans - River Island

Leather Jacket - Miss Selfridge (Previous Season)

Watch - River Island

Boots - Schuh

Bag - River Island

Fur Collar - Topshop (Previous Season)

If you hadn't already noticed, most of what I'm wearing is from River Island. I am so impressed with their AW14 collection so you should definitely go and check it out if you haven't already. I really wanted some comfortable high waisted jeans, not tube pants, which can be so difficult to find but I bought their Lana superskinny jeans in dark wash and black because I love them so much. I also find that it's difficult to find cropped tops in thicker material, a lot of them are made for going out and not wearing during the day time so I snapped up the burgundy marl ribbed cropped top as soon as I saw it. I hope this gives you some inspiration for your autumn wardrobe.

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?

How To Wear: The Maxi Skirt

This pastel pink maxi skirt is one of my summer wardrobe essentials, it's so well made and although I remember it being quite pricy, I think investing in key pieces that you can re-wear is essential. I bought it last summer from Asos and have worn it to death so I wanted to style it with some pieces from this season's high street and give you some inspiration to re-work last season's styles.

Look 1 - Shopping in style

What I'm Wearing

Top - Topshop

Necklace - River Island

Jacket - Topshop

This look is really casual and easy to wear, pairing the skirt with light colours and soft, casual fabrics creates an informal and effortless outfit which could be worn to a summer BBQ or if you're just popping to the shops.

Look 2 - Nearly nude

What I'm Wearing

Top - Zara

Shoes - Miss Selfridge

Watch - Next

Earrings - River Island

This look is slightly more dressed up and could easily be worn to a summer party or dinner. The Zara crop top is so versatile; it has pink, cream and green tones in it so you can pair it with so many different things and the filigree print is perfect for summer. Pale pink can be a difficult colour to wear as it can wash out some skin tones but this nearly-nude look is so girly and wearable, I love it! 

Look 3 - Summer Evenings

What I'm Wearing

Top - H&M

Necklace - Topshop

Bag - Oasis

Watch - Next

Adding a black crop top and gold accessories instantly turns the maxi skirt from a day piece to an evening piece. I am in love with this H&M crop top, it actually has cut out detailing on the sides, which you can't see in these photographs but it certainly makes the look more grown up. Just add heels for a beautiful outfit you can wear on a summer evening, to dinner or out for drinks.

I hope this inspired you to re-work  the old pieces in your wardrobe. Leave me a comment to let me know what your summer wardrobe essentials are.
