Spring is in the air with JORD

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

So excited and happy to be able to work with such a cool watch brand like JORD, they offer both women’s and men’s watches, and of course like the beautiful Frankie gold and ebony watch that I have, can be worth by either sexes. Before discovering JORD I had never seen a wooden watch, and I was certainly surprised how striking and pretty they are. You can really see the thought behind the design of each any every JORD watch.

I chose the Frankie in ebony and gold due to the minimalist look of the watch, I love the round dial and the gold details, it fits my style perfectly. What I also love about this unique watch is the colour of the wood, the dark ebony is really striking against the gold accents.

Another huge plus and the reason I choose this watch, was the oversized look of the Frankie range. I have always gravitated towards a more oversized masculine style watch, and this watch is perfect as a statement and contrast when paired with little floral summer dresses and skirts. Now we cannot ignore the beautiful packaging that this gorgeous watch arrives in, its very own beautiful wooden box, what more could you want!Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I am also really excited to offer you guys a chance to win $100 towards a watch of your choice (enter competition here). One of my lucky readers will win this prize. Even if you are not the lucky winner you will still receive a gift code worth $25 once the competition ends. This is too good to pass on, so make sure you don’t miss out. Also remember to follow me on instagram (@gracesurguy) for more pics of this gorgeous watch.

Fashion’s Feminist Revolution

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

There are two major things I am in love with at the minute, slogan t-shirts and of course pro-women slogan t-shirts. As a women I think it is so important to come together to support each other, whether we have been friends for years, or have never met. I wouldn’t say I am technically I feminist, but I love what this t-shirt represents, and for me that is strong women from all around the world, helping and supporting each other.

Then we have this shirt of dreams, pencil skirts are 100% me, I am a more curvy girl and they are perfect for my body shape. Although I do advocate dressing for your shape, I think it is more important to dress in what makes you happy and makes you feel good, and this skirt really does that for me. I love the almost 80’s style of the skirt with the big white buttons down the front. Plus I am crazy into slogan tee’s and dressy skirts at the minute, this is why this look is perfect for me.

Lastly we have these studded beauts, I’m not always a fan of ankle straps on my legs, but these are actually really flattering. The heel size is not too big which makes them great to wear on an everyday basis, plus they were really affordable (link down below), the perfect shoe!

Embroidered Jacket & Double Denim

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I am OBSESSED with this jacket, like seriously its gorgeous, it is going to be my staple denim jacket right through the spring/summer this year. This little beauty is from Missguided, it does keep selling out, but the guys at Missguided don’t miss a trick and keep re-stocking, so if you don’t see it on the link below keep checking because they will re-stock.

I wanted this jacket in a more over-sized style so opted for a size 10, and it fits exactly as I wanted it to. I am wearing it with a blue denim mini skirt from Topshop, although it is not exactly the same tone of denim as the jacket, I still love this double denim look. I am looking out for a denim skirt that is a slightly lighter blue, so they look more like a matching set.

Finally I am wearing my denim items with a very staple t-shirt from COS, a plain black leather waist belt from ASOS, my APC bag and of course my Doc Martens, which I could not live without, I love how they dress down any outfit. Really looking forward to wearing them with a little floral summer and black ankle socks, the perfect look for me.

Spring Florals & Flared Sleeves

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Meet one of the most beautiful dresses I own, the ‘Tash’ dress from my babes at Blush Clothing Playhouse (linked down below) is seriously amazing. I love the off the shoulder details and also the floral print is so delicate, perfect for the spring season. I actually have a christening next month, and this is definitely going to be the dress that I will wear then.

Not only is this dress beautiful its so crazy comfortable, the neckline is elasticated and so is the waist, so you can have it as high or low as you like. I’m really excited about changing it up a little and taking off the belt it comes with and wearing it with my belt Gucci waist belt. Make sure you check out Blush Clothing Playhouse, they offer some really gorgeous pieces, and are such amazing people, plus the international shipping costs are mega low, which is always a bonus.

Lastly these Missguided strappy sandal beauts, I swear these are going to be my most worn dressed-up shoes. They are so comfy and so stylish, and go with pretty much everything, and they are £20, what a bargain.

Red Trousers And My Love For Jhene Aiko

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I’m going to start with these trousers, who wouldn’t! They are red and fabulous! I actually have the same trousers in blue pinstripe, when Topshop bought them out earlier in the year. Then I saw them in red and I was hooked! The great thing about this pair is the price, they are only £25, which is really on the cheaper side for Topshop, not that I am going to complain! They are a slightly stretchy classic slim fit trouser, and I have them in a size 8 which fits fine, they are exactly what I wanted, well done Topshop.

Now, I have got to speak about my fan girl antics for Jhene Aiko, I love her, I’m not going to lie. Big statement, but she is definitely my favourite current hip hop/R&B female artist. My boyfriend knew how much I loved her, and bless him bought this from her official merchandise site, which is so crazy cute, he’s the best. I absolutely love a slogan t-shirt at the minute, and I love this even more because, if you know, you know…lol.

What outfit would be complete without the accessories? Certainly not this one, two of my absolute fav’s are these slip on black bow mules from Ego, and of course my Gucci belt. I’ve said it before but these shoes are crazy comfy and go with pretty much anything, absolutely loving Ego at the minute, an affordable shoes retailer that offer really cool styles.

Off the Shoulder Blouses are my Jam

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

So this blouse is an absolute dream, like seriously, wrap around, cropped, ruffles sleeves, its an absolute beauty. This blouse is from Shein (linked below) and I got it in a size medium, which for a UK size 8/10 is absolutely perfect. Just so you guys are aware, the sizes at Shein do come up slightly smaller than standard UK sizes, so always best to size-up. It is completely wrap around, with a long section that you can tie any way you like. I love this as you can style it differently, depending on how you are feeling that day!

I’ve tied this at the back as I like keeping the front of the blouse quite minimal, and not fussy. The quality is great too, which is amazing as the blouse is only around £20 UK prices that is crazy cheap! I’ve seen this style at a lot more money, at various different online stores, so this version is a complete bargain. I have styled this blouse with my ruffled/flared ribbed ‘mermaid’ (describes them perfectly) trousers from Topshop, which I know are going to be such a spring staple. They are so stretchy and comfy, and literally go with anything!

Finally we have these pink suede beauts from Topshop, I felt this outfit really needed a pop of colour and these mules are perfect. They are actually from Topshop last season, but I know they have released lots of similar styles, so will link down below. Can’t wait to style this blouse in so many different ways, and so excited to buy more items from Shein.

The Most Perfect Trophy Jacket

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I feel like I must work for Zara at the minute! It’s the only place I seem to be shopping, their spring/summer items are just so good! This jacket jumped out at me as soon as I walked into the store. It has the most beautiful embroidery down the sleeves, I have no idea the embroidery is supposed to be, a bird..elephant, who knows, it’s beautiful anyway.

This jacket has everything you could ever want in a jacket, tassels, embellishments, it is not understated or quiet. But who wants understated and quiet, certainly not me, and not in the spring. Spring is time for colours and floral’s and frills (I’m in a VERY positive mood today, can you tell? Lol). Due to everything going on in this jacket, it does of course mean that the rest of the outfit needs to be quieter and definitely more understated. The top is an old favorite from River Island and it really has served me well over the years, to me a black crop top is a wardrobe staple.

The trousers again are a total find and I am in love with them, they are from Zara (of course) and were a mere £12.99! Of course you can kind of see why, there is no zip and they are almost like ribbed legging material, the good thing about is that they are crazy comfortable. I love the frill on the bottom too, spring and summer is all about frills, and I can’t get enough of them.

The Most Perfect Embroidered Skirt

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Ok so this skirt, I am crazy obsessed, the embroidery, the fit, everything. When I choose this from the Romwe site I was really excited to receive it, but its actually so much nicer in real life. I was really presently surprised to see that the embroidery is on the front and the back, so it is pretty from all angles.

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

It is important to know that the sizes on Romwe are a lot smaller than the usual small/medium/large sizes. I have this in a medium, which I would say fits like a UK 8, so it’s good to know that when buying from this site. This skirt is definitely in my list of most favourite items at the minute, and I can’t wait to buy from Romwe again.

I’m actually wearing this beaut of a skirt with my boyfriend’s white tee from Cos, it’s in a size medium, and its exactly the look I was going for. My white t-shirt would have looked too fitted, I love an oversized top half with a more fitted skirt. The sandals are from Missguided and I  flipping love them, they were a slightly risky purchase for me as I a not always a fan of ankle straps (not normally flattering on bigger legs) however these seem to have the opposite affect and are extremely flattering. Anyway back to the skirt..go buy it, you’ll love it 🙂
