PASTEL FLORALS

This super adorable two-piece is part of the huuuuuuge order I placed on Missguided not too long back, and it's finally making an appearance!  When I ordered it, I had no idea it was a halter-neck style, which is actually even better for me as I love halter-necks.  The colours of the flowers in this set means it matches the majority of my wardrobe, as it's packed with pretty pastel pinks, blues and lilacs, so finding pieces to wear it with wasn't much of a challenge!
I'd been waiting for the perfect outfit to show you all this beautiful necklace from London Style. It's the third piece out of the three I received from them, and it's just as well-made and sparkling as the others!
You've seen these pieces before, (possibly a little too much as far as the kimono is concerned!), but they're all really easy pieces to wear for me, yet they really stand out amongst the rest of the outfit. 
I only have a few shots of this outfit as we had to dash in quickly, as the rain began to come down heavily!

TROPICAL PRINCESS

Ew! How horrible is this weather?! Totally not ideal as tomorrow is my day off, so fingers crossed it improves! Regardless, in true blogger fashion, I shot some pictures in a completely inappropriate outfit!

Anyway, let's talk about this pretty little Missguided number. I bought this a little while back, and I've worn it quite a few times since, but I hadn't featured it on my blog yet, so since I'd just received these p e r f e c t princess-y shoes from Simmi Shoes, I thought it was time to show it off! I love the cross-back detail, and the cute little pom-pom edging, it gives so much extra to what could potentially fall under the 'basic swing dress' category. (Also, I think I might be a little obsessed with the print as I purchased the matching trousers!).

So, the shoes! I was super excited when I was contacted by Simmi Shoes, asking if I'd be interested in receiving a pair of their shoes. Of course, after seeing so many beautiful pairs from them all over Instagram, I had no trouble deciding! These are SO gorgeous. Literally the perfect chunky pair of princess shoes. I shared a picture of them on my Instagram, and everyone was in love with them just as much as I am!

Finally, even though this outfit is very much pinks and greens, I couldn't help but think it was missing some yellow, so I popped on my pretty yellow statement necklace from London Style. Believe me when I tell you how amazing the quality of this necklace is, the diamonds are stunning and sparkle like crazy! They have so many beautiful pieces, and I have another one to show you all in pretty pastels, so keep your eyes out!

I cannot tell you how much that strand of hair is destroying my life.

TURTLE BAY

I was really struggling for a name for this blog post, but it seemed pretty apt to name it after the lovely necklace I'm wearing! I was very kindly sent this beautiful statement necklace from London Style, which is a British jewellery brand selling quality statement pieces.  I'm completely obsessed with the detail and the stones on the necklace. They're such a unique combination of gems, definitely a standout amongst most other statement necklaces on the market. I couldn't possibly get a good enough picture of how stunning the emerald green stones are, so please take my word for it! I also have a couple more pieces to show you from their range, so look forward to seeing them again!
I think it's clear my outfit has been based around my necklace, so I went for the blues! My trousers are an absolute STEAL from Primark. I don't think it would be a very 'Nicole' blog post without some Primark! I also picked them up in a Barbie pink, which shall be featured soon. Actually, my top is another Primark bargain from a few summers back! Loose crops are my favourite, especially in this killer heat, anything fitted is a no-no in this weather. Recently, I'm never without a trusty maxi kimono. (The most forgiving summer essential!). This one is from New Look, which I've now purchased in a lighter blue! (Obsessed, right?!). And finally, another colour in the rainbow that is my jelly shoe collection! I spotted these in Ark on my way to the check-out. It was one of those 'yep, that's mine!' situations! Anyway, I decided to take a seat in a few of these shots, not entirely sure it works for me as I'm not so sure I should be compressed as much as I should be stretched out. Does that make sense? No? Okay, I'll stop. Enjoy your evenings my lovely people!
