Style Speaks Louder

Sunshine!! Finally we have been blessed in the UK with sunny spring weather and although its not quite time to start shedding the layers its definitely time to start lightening up.



Here is one of my casual spring time looks, featuring my go-to Ted Baker classic beige mac and my new Nicholas Kirkwood pointed flats.





I'm so excited about the weather getting warmer because it means I can wear these Nicholas Kirkwood silk printed flats that I picked up in the Net-A-Porter sale after drooling over them last summer. Aren't they beautiful!



What is key to spring style is light layers, so I have layered a vibrant ribbed Topshop jumper over a muted grey Zoe Karssen t-shirt, with customised ripped jeans and finishing off with a classic light beige belted mac from Ted Baker. I added my Paul Costelloe pink over the shoulder bag (similar here) to add a pop of colour to clash with my Topshop knit (similar here), it is spring after all, time to say goodbye to #allblackeverything.



What are you itching to wear this spring?

Pretty pastel pink was all over the catwalks for Spring 2014 from Burberry to Isabel Marant, and if you haven't noticed already pink is all set to flirt its way into our spring summer wardrobes.

But pink doesn't have to be pretty. I personally love the colour pink but I'm also a bit of a tomboy so I find it hard to wear the colour without feeling silly.

I've decided to toughen up pink so not to look too 'girly' and put a sporty twist on spring's prettiest colour.

I've chosen a vintage pink Nike sweatshirt, which is actually from the men's department, as its not your typical pink jumper and paired it with a crisp white shirt underneath to make it look a little bit preppy.  The jeans from Topshop are the perfect wash to couple with pink and I've continued the sporty vibe by choosing Ash's Bowie wedge trainers in metallic silver (another spring trend).



Pink on Pink on Pink. This might be too much pink for some but spring in London is all about layers and the Zara jacket adds structure and the Paul Costelloe mini bag is the final pink injection and brings it all together. Mixing different shades of pink also adds a different dimension to the look without looking too bubblegum.







See pink can be fun to wear even if you aren't the typical 'girly girl'.
