SHOOTING WITH GRAFEA

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get these pictures up! Bad Nicole! Anyway, I was super, super, super, SUPER lucky to be invited to do a street style shoot with Grafea, my favourite bag company in the whole entire world. I brought along my Grafea camera bag, and met up with the lovely Amy to shoot some pictures!
I was really out of my comfort zone, especially having somebody else shoot my pictures, but Amy was so lovely, and instantly made me feel really comfortable! Now, I should point out that these aren't the final images. Unfortunately, the lighting that particular day ended up ruining most of the shots, but Amy managed to get a couple together that I could use! We're meeting again on Monday for 'round 2', so hopefully the Sun finds a suitable position!
I won't go too much into my outfit, but this two-piece is from Monki, and I'd been dying to get my hands on it for ages! I spotted it on ASOS when they were holding their '25% student discount' deal, so obviously it was fate! As this particular set is quite boxy.. and not necessarily figure flattering, I decided to wear my Primark duster coat to give a more tailored look. As the bag is pink, it was a no brainer for me to wear these little pink babies from Simmi Shoes!
Although we're not quite finished yet, I'd like to thank Amy for having me and making me feel at ease! I'm looking forward to meeting up again!

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!
