Yellow Mellow

1. Light Blue Blazer (link here) - £3.99

2. (Similar) New Look Black Gingham Contrast Sleeve T - Shirt (link here) - £14.99

3. Boohoo Tianna Box Pleat Colour Pop Skater Skirt (link here) - £10.00

4. Daisy Street Kaylin Patent Cut - Out T - Bar Shoes in Yellow (link here) - £14.99

I am absolutely loving my new yellow T - bar shoes from Daisy Street, very SS14. Firstly, what a bargain the light blue blazer is at £3.99?! I bought it from an online E-bay store from China. It did take a while to get here, but it was so worth it. I am wearing my Topshop Gingham T-shirt. Unfortunately, it has sold out online, however, I managed to find an alternative from New Look which is very similar. I feel the Gingham Print breaks up the pastel colours. I wore the Tianna Pop Skater Skirt and I was dying for a pinky coloured shade and this came in store a few weeks ago and I just had to snap it up. The shoes will be featured in many of my outfits throughout SS14 I'm sure!

Until next time,

SS14 Trends: The Androgynous Look by Wear Eponymous

1. Classic Trench Coat (link here) - £79.99

2. Contrast Collar Shirt (link here) - £34.99 

3. Classic Clutch Bag (link here) - £39.99

4. Classic Cigarette Trousers (link here) - £29.99

Wear Eponymous website (link here)

I, for one, am all over this androgynous look. I wouldn't class my style as anything in particular but I do usually tend to sway towards the more boyish cuts. However, my 2014 New Year resolution was to experiment with more girlie pieces, which I can proudly say is going swimmingly at the moment. 

Anyway, the clothing store Wear Eponymous contacted me and asked if I would like to enter a competition to win a pastel dress and I am currently crushing on the pastel trend at the minute, so how could I refuse?! Also, this competition appealed to me because it involved piecing an outfit together and reviewing it, which I love to do as I love writing.

More to the point, I have opted with a boyish yet chic look. This would be an outfit I would wear to my day job as it is classy, smart yet showcasing current trends. 

I particularly love the trench coat because it is girlie with the pleated bottom, yet has a boyfriend fit to it in regards to length but is fitted in terms of the shape. The beige/pastel shirt would add a feminine side to this outfit. It would look really good against the black as the shades will become noticed as it is the statement piece. Also, the leather collar adds a edgy touch to the outfit. 

I absolutely adore the clutch bag. It is extremely versatile with the detachable strap as it can be worn over the shoulder or carried. I love the buckle detailing which is giving off the chic vibe. 

The cigarette trousers are my favourite piece. I love cigarette trousers. I love how they are a boyish cut, yet still remain chic. Unfortunately for me, I am 5ft 3, therefore, cigarette trousers look silly on me unless they're in the petite range, but on the right person, they do look fabulous. These trousers would be perfect for all occasions; for work, nights out, shopping trips... Cigarette trousers are becoming a huge staple for SS14 so Wear Eponymous are currently on point with their pieces! 

I hope this gives you some ideas on how to pull off the androgynous look :)

Until next time,

Dot to Dot

1. River Island Spotty Tappy Dress (link here) - £25.00

2. Black Fluffy Jumper (E - bay)

3. Dr Martens Polley Shoe (link here) - £90.00

I feel that I look slightly awkward in these photos haha, so I apologise! I had just come back from a manic driving lesson with my dad.

 At this time of year I think everyone faces the dilemma of what to wear because the weather is very hormonal. This is why I love layering with a jumper without looking too overdressed or under dressed. 

In this post, I am wearing a navy blue polka dot dress from River Island which I purchased via ASOS as then I can get free postage, yay! I love polka dot; it's girly and cute. Not forgetting that this dress has a peter pan collar and I looooveee peter pan collars. I wore a black fluffy jumper which I purchased from E - bay over the top. I love this jumper as it is fitted and can be worn with various of things, definitely a big staple in my wardrobe at the moment. I love how the collar from the dress sits perfectly on top of the jumper. 

I wore my Mary Janes Dr Martens, so this adds to the cuteness. Like all Dr Martens, I advise to purchase a smaller size as they tend to come up a little bigger. These are the first pair that actually fit me properly as I purchased a size smaller. I always feel like I should be at Primary School when I wear these shoes but they are adorable after all. 

Until next time,

Buy My Stuff on Depop Please!

Depop username: sommer_guy (link here)

As I am a big fan of selling my items on E-bay week after week due to my forever overflowing wardrobe, I have been introduced to Depop. Depop is very similar to E-bay but the only difference being that your identity is shown and your item auctions don't have a expiry date unless the item is bought. But the best bit is that there is no insertion fees, yaaaay! Depop is definitely a faster way of uploading your items as I feel it can take a very long time to upload items on E-bay; with Depop it only takes two to three minutes. Literally. It is easy to set up a Depop account but Depop can only be used as an app as the whole point was for people to be able to have the convenience of purchasing or uploading from their pocket. The only downside I have with Depop is that you can only upload four images of your item whereas on E-bay 12 free images can be uploaded. Also, as there is no auction expiry time, your item may never sell and if you're desperate for funds this can be a bit of a pain, that's when E-bay comes in handy. Overall, I think I am going to use Depop on a regular basis and I definitely recommend it. My Depop username is listed above, it would be great if you could check my items out. Thank you! :)

It's finally time to get the kimono out!

1. (Similar) Pretty Little Thing Piper Leopard Print Kimono (link here) - £18.00

2. Primark Fluffy Cropped White Turtleneck Tee 

3. Topshop Baxter Black Skinny Jeans (link here) - £40.00 (I'm also selling these on E-bay, link here grab a bargain!)

4. E-bay Chunky Black Ankle Boots (link here) - £12.32

As the weather is going through a hormonal phase, I thought I would brave it and get the kimono out! These pictures were taken last week, therefore, it was pretty warm. I'm not a big fan of leopard print but I fell in love with this leopard print kimono as soon as I saw it. I purchased it from Daisy Street and it has a gorgeous silk like material feel to it. The kimono is a waterfall design and I think it's a lovely fit and goes with anything. Unfortunately, it is out of stock on Daisy Street but I found one similar on Pretty Little Thing (see the link above for the kimono.) 

I paired the kimono with a fluffy cropped white turtleneck tee from Primark which are very much sought after. These are available in many colours but I feel the white one can be paired with plenty of things. The top is quite cropped, I'm not a fan of cropped items so I will probably wear a vest underneath or high waisted bottoms. I wore my Topshop Baxter Skinny Jeans on the bottom. I have ummed and ahhed over these jeans for the past two years as they aren't really my type as I like high waisted jeans but then I discovered the Joni jeans, which are the best thing ever. I am selling the Baxter jeans on E - bay (check out the links above for link - get a good bargain) as I have just bought the Joni jeans in black. 

Lastly, I wore my new ankle boots purchased from E-bay for £12.32, bargain, right? They are from China and they arrived a little under four weeks, but it's worth it! I thought I would pair these boots with this outfit as it is a pretty sophisticated look. 

Until next time,

Let It Roll

1. Lazy Oaf  Let It Roll T - Shirt (link here) - £40.00

2. MOTO Gingham Print Joni Jeans (link here) - £38.00

3.  (Similar) Dr. Martens Aggy Strap Ankle Boots (link here)  - £57.96

4. (Similar) Topshop Boxy Fur Gilet (link here) - £65.00

Firstly, I apologise for the lack of make up I am wearing in these photos. These photos were taken on a very busy day and I went without wearing mascara, I have realised mascara helps in many ways.
Onto the outfit. As the weather is slowly improving (yay! However, it is currently the type of weather where I don't know what to wear or not!) I thought I would go without a large, heavy coat and opt for the faux fur gilet which I feel is appropriate for this type of weather as you don't feel too overdressed or under dressed. I bought this gilet from Ebay a long time ago, but there is plenty of similar ones around, I just linked a Topshop one above. These gilets are very versatile and can be worn on any occasion and can be thrown on over anything.
 I have recently purchased the Let it Roll crop top from Lazy Oaf. The price of this is £40 from Lazy Oaf but I managed to purchase this on Ebay for twenty - something pounds. (I love Ebay me). I have also noticed this top on PersunMall a few weeks ago at only £16 but when I went to buy it, it was sold out :( I think it's always best to do a little search before paying £40.00. I saw this top on another blogger and I instantly fell in love with it. It is a cropped fit, so I'll probably wear it with high waisted bottoms. It has such a nice tartan print to the neck line and on the sleeves. The Let It Roll and dog image just adds quirkiness to it.
I paired this top with my Gingham Joni Jeans. I purchased these jeans around about the same time I purchased the Let It Roll top. (Yes, I purchased them from E-Bay, shocker). I think I may have to order many more pairs of Joni jeans as these are soooooo comfy and have a very flattering high waist! And I'm wearing gingham (shocker again). I love the gingham print this season. On my feet, I am wearing Dr. Martens Aggy Strap boots. These are not in sale anymore, however, I have managed to find some fakes for you if you're interested. They look no different to the originals from the pictures (link is below the pictures). I love these boots, they are super comfy, look great with anything and are different. The only negative is that they take an age to do all the buckles up and do the zip up but it's all worth it!
So, this was my first outfit I wore out without a big coat, I felt naked. BUT BRING ON SUMMER.

Until next time,
