CLASSIC WHITE

Wedding season is here, and I've only been to a handful of weddings in my lifetime, all of which I was dressed by my mum, so i've never had the opportunity to experiment with elegant wedding pieces. I'm a huge fan of classy long dresses, and cute swishy skirts, so when I was contacted by Hedonia to style one of their gorgeous pieces, I immediately took the opportunity! 
Of course, i'm a two-piece girl, and this set is the epitome of class. I have to say, it's the most flattering fitting two-piece I own, and such incredible material! The skirt has a gorgeous  silk underlay, which builds volume and gives the skirt a little swish! The reason I mentioned wedding attire is because for me, this is perfect for a wedding or a formal party! Personally, I don't really like to wear fitting clothes, especially for long periods of time, and this crop top is the most amazing style. It fits around your bust, and floats past your middle, and as the skirt comes in at the waist, it creates a super flattering silhouette. 
I paired this with my holographic La Moda sandals as for me, they're my smart-casual chunky shoe! 
I believe if you register with Hedonia, you receive £10 to spend in their store! So much better than you're average 10%. I'll leave the links to my outfit below so you can check it out for yourself, and their other amazing products.
Thank you again to Rachel for giving me the amazing opportunity to own this super beautiful set!

LILAC DOGTOOTH

Whilst the weather was lovely, I took the opportunity to get a couple of outfit posts done! I recently made quite a large Missguided order, and i'd been after this two piece for quite a while so of course I ordered it. I love a-line skirts as they're super cute and flattering, and the fact it's part of a set makes it perfect! Lilac is fast becoming my favourite colour this Spring/Summer so i'm finding i'm choosing everything in lilac! Oh well, I can look like a human parma violet, that's fine by me!
My bag is my favourite, (and probably my only), clutch bag! I love anything holographic and i've always been drawn to it ever since I was a child choosing which glitter to chuck around my room! It was a pretty cheap one from New Look which I ordered on ASOS a while back. I believe it's gone into the sale since I purchased it for around £8, so i'm not sure if you can still get your hands on it, but it doesn't hurt to try! 
What other shoes would I pair with these outfit? Of course, it had to be my holographic La Moda sandals. I just can't get enough of them! They're my go-to shoes to 'spice up' a basic outfit, or to add to the glam!

THE PRIMARK PALM TREE CO-ORD

If you've been following my posts, you'll know i'm a huge fan of co-ords, and I seem to be building quite the collection! Back in February, I spotted the black version of this two-piece in Primark and I immediately picked it up, unaware of it's pretty pastel sister. I later returned it in the hope i'd pick up the pink version, and I absolutely love it.  The material feels very similar (if not the same) as the on-trend neoprene fabric, which is super flattering might I add. I love the boxy top contrast with the fitted skirt as it shows off all the more forgiving parts! I couldn't resist putting this outfit with my new La Moda holographic sandals, they go with everything! I wore them yesterday for a trip to Manchester, and they were the comfiest heeled sandals i've ever worn so I would highly recommend! (They also do a variety of colours which i'm dying to add to the collection!). I'll leave a link to my previous post here including these sandals for more details.

SPRING ORANGES & PURPLES WISHLIST

As you all probably know, orange is hot this Spring/Summer, and I for one am all for it! I've always thought that purples and orange go beautifully together, or maybe i'm just nostalgic for the times of Spyro the dragon? Either way, my current picks are based around these two colours and I hope to be the proud owner of all of these pieces soon. I will leave clickable links below of where to find these products.  I will add, I don't think the lilac jellies are in stock at the moment, but hopefully they will be soon so I can get my hands (and feet) on them!

PLAID SKIRT feat LA MODA SANDALS

As i'd mentioned in my previous post, i'd been shopping with my friend in Manchester. Unfortunately, there wasn't much time to whip the camera out and take some pictures of my outfit, so decided to re-create the look before I go to work today.  Somehow.. accidentally.. I ordered clothes from New Look whilst I'm supposed to be saving.. ANYWAY, I completely fell in love with these two pieces in particular, and they actually go together like a dream!  The top is just a simple 'waffle material' tee, and is possibly the definition of 'smart-casual', as it can be worn for any occasion, (paired with the right clothes).  I seem to have developed a wild obsession with plaid skirts in these gorgeous brushed wool materials, and to-date, I own six, (oops). They're so cute and girly, and with New Look insisting on bringing out new ones all the time, how am I to resist?! I only received these beautiful shoes in the post today, so I hadn't originally wore them with this outfit, but.. wow. How amazing are they?! I recently discovered La Moda through other bloggers, and I haven't looked back since. I can't fault them. From style, to price and to delivery time! I was hoping to purchase the lilac jellies as well, but unfortunately they were out of stock. I highly recommend checking their website out, La Moda, I promise you will be in awe at their stock.  I've shown this coat in a post previously, which you can view following the link 'coat'. I've been using this bag non-stop since it arrived. I can't find it online anymore, but I believe some stores still stock it in H&M. I've found it goes with practically anything because of the light shade of blue, and is the perfect size to carry all of your handbag junk! Also, my dog seemed to enjoy jumping in on my pictures and wondering what on earth I was doing, so he may feature in a few shots!

YELLOW CHECK CO-ORD

I'd been after this gorgeous yellow check co-ord since I laid my eyes on it, so naturally on payday, into my basket it went, (along with some amazing 'Jeffrey Campbell-esque' boots.. oops!).

I've always loved the look of figure hugging co-ords, however since i'm not the biggest fan of my body, I don't fancy strutting around leaving little to the imagination, (although I hope one day i'll build the confidence to be up there with the best of them!). 

What really drew me to this piece was the 'relaxed' fit of the crop top, and the gorgeous figure flattering skater skirt. Perfect. 

When i'd purchased this I hadn't realised there was a slash down the back of the top and at first I was a little apprehensive about keeping it, but its actually not as bad as I thought and only reveals a little peak of your back!

The woven tweed material makes it look a whole lot more expensive than it actually was and a lot smarter than i'd expected. 

I'd decided to finish this look off with my sparkly clear jellies from JuJu. I have these, a black pair and a white pair and I just want every possible colour!! I'm currently eyeing up a couple of pairs from La Moda in their gorrrrgeous pastels.

(Apologies for my hair.. theres no reason for it, it's just dreadful).
