The Zara Playsuit That Looks Like a Dress

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

From first look you can be forgiven for thinking that this playsuit is indeed a dress, but actually it has little shorts under the top layer. This is actually completely necessary as the top layer is really very short. I love that Zara have taken this style of dress/playsuit and made it their own, I actually haven’t seen this style of playsuit in any other high street store.

The embroidery at the top of this playsuit is so cute, and it is actually very well made, considering that for a whole outfit it will only cost you £29.99! I also love the lace-up deal on the back, such a cute little detail, which can always be expected from a Zara piece. Really excited to wear this playsuit right into summer and also on my holiday to America later this year. To let you guys know I am a UK size 8/10, I have this in a small and it is perfect.

Last but not least my little silver Topshop sandals, they are such a staple item for me, and unfortunately sold out now as I bought them in the sale a while back I will link similar shoes down below). I actually love a metallic sandal for spring summer for something a little more unexpected.

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.

Love for One Shoulder Dresses & Stripes

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Zara had me at one shoulder and stripes, this dress is just the most perfect throw on dress. Whether you are going for a night out, or whether it is just a day of shopping. It can be dressed up or dressed down, which for me is the sign of a perfect dress. I always struggle with buying pieces that are too dressy, that I know I can’t adapt for daytime. I always try to adopt the 3 ways rule, which is where you only buy something if you can think about wearing it three different ways.

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Of course I am going to tell you my three ways!! The first one is of course as above, styled for a night out with heels, my Gucci belt and clutch, the perfect effortless night time look for me. The second way in the day with material tie belt that the dress came with and either my Givenchy or furry black slides and a satchel bag, total different look, same dress!

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Final look would be the dress layered over the top of a long sleeved fitted red top, I guess this needs to be seen to be believed! Don’t you worry I will be adding this to my Instagram soon, plus I copied this idea from a gorgeous blogger I have been following for years so I know it looks good….lol.

Zara Two Piece Obsession

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I am fully in love with Zara at the minute, I find that when we get to spring this high-street store really comes into its own, so many beautiful affordable items that I just cannot resist. Obviously I love gingham, no surprise, it’s pretty much all I wear!! When I saw this two piece I just had to have it. I love how versatile this type of item is, as it’s so easy to split the items up and wear separately.

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I have worn the top half over a white shirt and it looks so cool, I have also worn the skirt in a recent Instagram post, with a fitted high neck lace top. Of course the real show stopper is when you wear them together. Both pieces are really elasticated which makes them so comfy to wear. I have this in a small, it does fit slightly on the bigger size, so don’t worry about buying the size down.

I love the idea of wearing this to a summer party with high heels and a metallic clutch, or to a garden party with furry slides (I love a pair of fluffy slides, don’t get me started on that). Lastly my beaut silver Topshop shoes that I bought in the sale earlier in the year, I love pairing metallic heels with gingham, I think it’s a great contrast. I’ve actually had my eye on the silver ankle boots that are currently available on public desire…..and when I get an idea in my head 🙂

Pink Denim Pinafores and White Ruffles

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I genuinely think this pink pinafore is one of my most favourite recent purchases, if not of all time! This maybe due to my very obvious pink obsession that I seem to have at the minute. Honestly though, pink denim, in the form of a pinafore!!! Urban Outfitters have pulled this out of the bag for me! I have this in a size small and it’s perfect, can’t wait to wear it more casual; with a white tee and trainers.

I wore this pinafore in Italy with my white ruffle blouse Zara. I have this in a size small, I found the sizing quite weird in this, it’s fine when you have it on, but it’s not easy getting it on at all, I’ve nearly ripped it on a few occasions! However I cannot tell you how much I have worn this blouse, It especially looks great under pinafores or dungarees. Ironing this is not fun though. Nope not fun at all….Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Finally my Topshop silver sandals, unfortunately they are now sold out as I bought them in the sale just after Christmas, at a mere £15! I’ve actually not worn them until now, but they seem to be firmly on my feet at the minute. They are also crazy comfortable which is perfect for a heel.

My Gingham Obsession

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

So my obsession with gingham is huge right now and rather all encompassing, sad I know, but I really, really love it! In skirts, trousers, dresses, literally any item of clothing you can name! This skirt is from Zara and is actually part of a two piece, it comes with a cropped strapless top and it’s so cute on. Unfortunately it’s not warm enough in the UK for the full outfit yet, but at least I can wear the skirt. I have it in a size small, which actually fits on the larger size, so I would definitely suggest sizing down.

Following on from the clear Zara obsession, these boots from this wonderful high street store, I am completely in love with. Topshop do a very similar version, however they are more than double the cost of this version, and are pretty much identical. They retail at just under £30, which I think is a bargain. Kitten heels and sock boots are so on trend for spring/summer 2017 and I am very happy with that! Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Finally my white lace top from Boohoo, I have worn so much, it is great for layering and wearing underneath jumpers when the weather is colder. I initially wasn’t sure about the panel at the front that means the top is not sheer across the chest, however it is a god send when you don’t have a white bralet and need a little more modesty in place! I love that lace details and high necks that are in fashion at the minute.
