Ladies Day Style

After a fabulous day at Ladies Day at the Aintree Grand National last week, it was a lovely surprise the next morning to see myself and the girls on a double page spread in The Echo newspaper! Although I didn't come back rich, I did feel a million dollars. So, here's a breakdown of my outfit.
Jumpsuit: River Island, blazer: New Look, shoes: boohoo.com, bag: matalan.
Of course, no outfit is finished without a gorgeous manicure and a glass of champagne!

6 Dresses For Your Spring Occasions

Going to a special event is always something to look forward to, until you try and find something to wear. So many choices, so little time! Looking for a races outfit myself - and after trying on an obscene amount of dresses - I finally found the perfect one, this gorgeous pastel blue jumpsuit from River Island. It fits perfectly, looks classy, and is ideal for our unpredictable spring weather. Here's my top 6 dresses I came across after finally narrowing it down.

Pastels & Boyfriend Jeans

Working at River Island definitely has it's bonuses when you're surrounded by so many gorgeous clothes, shoes, accessories.. Not so good on my bank balance though, I must admit! My latest outfit consists of this lovely pastel pink top, slim boyfriend fit jeans and worn with either a pair of black boots and cute little socks, or a pair of summery flats, just like my favourite pastel loafers from RI. The cross between girly and boyish styles is great for me as I don't like to look overly feminine with pink/frilly things! Everything here is bought from River Island and is all current season (although the boots are no longer in stock).

Kendall Jenner - Next Top Model?

Strutting her stuff down the catwalk for Marc Jacobs, sitting front row at London Fashion Week with none other than Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour, if Kendall Jenner thought she was 'living the dream' then, I cannot even imagine how she must be feeling now! After walking for Giles Deacon at LFW, the 18 year old has well and truly topped it all off by jetting off once again and making her way down the catwalk for Givenchy at Paris Fashion Week (looking enviably gorgeous as always). So, is this the beginning of one of the worlds next top models? Watch this space.

Stepping Into Pastels

Embracing this Springs pastel trend and hoping it brings some nicer weather with it, my latest purchase is these fabulous patent leather loafers from River Island. As a fan of a good flat shoe, I literally am in love with these! The pale blue colour brightens up my extremely monochrome wardrobe and just makes me feel like there may eventually be an end to this awful weather. And after wearing them for an entire day around London and encountering zero blisters, these are definitely my new favourite shoes.

OOTD: The Clash

This outfit was a new combination for me, I've had these Topshop cigarette trousers for about a year now and still love them, but I can never seem to pair them with anything exciting, it's always the same monochrome looks. So when I put them on this time, I looked in my wardrobe, grabbed a few different items that stood out and put it all on. A black cami top, tartan belt, blue cropped jacket and a pair of heeled loafers; and there we have it, an updated outfit!

Here's just a few ideas of how you could create a similar look using a clash of patterns and colours.

Princess Couture : Elie Saab SS14

This morning was all about tuning in to the live feed of the Elie Saab Spring/Summer 2014 Haute Couture show, and as predicted, it lived up to and went beyond all expectations. In my opinion, it was the ultimate fairytale collection; fit for a princess. Sheer fabrics, fabulous embellishment and a classic colour palette were just a few key elements that made these designs so exquisite. Such feminine and elegant designs with an immaculate attention to detail, empire waistlines and plenty of draping in pastel and ombré shades; Saab moved out of his comfort zone whilst preserving his classical style of dress. A goddess-like collection with an unforgettable finale.
