Flower Power

Playsuit - MeeMee* | Necklace - Fashion Nonsense* | Jacket - Topshop | Boots - Topshop | Bag - H&M


Yesterday I took a little 'revision break' trip to the cinema to see Iron Man 3 (would recommend!), and this is what I wore. I love the summery print of this MeeMee playsuit, but I wanted to 'toughen it up' a little to be more weather-appropriate, so I paired it with my Topshop leather biker and Adonis boots and this fab spiked necklace from Fashion Nonsense. My bag is another fairly recent addition - a simple black Givenchy Antigona shaped number, which was a very reasonable £15 (although I managed to bag it for £10 with an online deal a couple of weeks ago) from H&M.

Code Orange

Orange was one of the biggest colour trends on the SS13 catwalks, with designers like Helmut Lang, J Mendel and Carolina Herrera sending models out in head-to-toe tangerine, and it's a colour I'm really loving at the moment! Although I'm not seeing many other signs of summer here in Manchester, the highstreet is full of summery shades, from burnt orange to carrot to apricot and everything in between  Below are a few of my favourite picks from Topshop:


Orange is a colour that I think most pale-skinned red-heads would leave to the darker skinned brunettes and blondes, but (to either my credit or my detriment) that won't stop me! I'm particularly tempted to get my hands on the Crepe Shift Dress pictured above, and I recently fell in love with the Calf Skater Skirt after wearing it on a photoshoot. During my pursuit of all things orange, I found an amazing Givenchy Antigona style bag on eBay (buy here, pictured below) for a bargain £11.68 which I quickly snapped up - a great place to start if you're not quite ready to wear the trend head-to-toe.

Skort

Top - SheInside* | Skort - SheInside* | Shoes - Choies* 



Today's outfit consisted of my new SheInside pieces! This 'skort' is identical to the blogger favourite from Zara but is a bargain at £15, today I paired it with this fab long sleeve crochet/lace style top. The top is very sheer so I wore a nude vest top underneath, but I love the contrast of the opaque pattern against the sheer and my skin underneath. 
I'm also wearing my favourite new flat shoes from Choies, 'inspired' by the adorable Marc By Marc Jacobs 'Shorty' shoes. They have a velvet upper and are super comfortable, and when I was in the Post Office today a little girl told me that she liked them, so now I'm even more obsessed!

I will be posting less over the next couple of weeks as it's exam period for me (eek!), but you can follow me on Instagram (@hannahlouisef) for daily updates :-)

Pink Cheeks

Shirt - ASOS | Trousers - American Apparel | Necklace - Primark | Shoes - BooHoo
Today's outfit! After seeing this fab new colour of American Apparel Riding Pant, 'pink cheeks', on the amazing Leanne, I had to have them. The colour appears more muted in photos (including those on the AA website) than it does in person - they are extremely bright so be warned!). I took advantage of a 30% discount code American Apparel sent out to their mailing list a week or so ago and purchased them, at £64 RRP they are quite pricey but I already own and love the Riding Pant in two other colours so I can certainly say they're worth the splurge, particularly with the Disco Pant being a pretty extortionate £74 now (and every man and his dog doesn't own a pair of Riding Pants!). Today I wore them with my favourite pointed toe-cap flats, super cute scalloped collar shirt from ASOS and this amazing necklace I picked up in Primark yesterday - a perfect summery statement piece. Sadly the summery weather we'd been having (for all of 3 days) has not lasted and so I was definitely dressed brighter than I felt today :-(

Introducing: Slappie


Slappie is an innovative brand of silicone 'slap' watches, started in October 2011 and run by 16 year old Max Stern from Oxford. The watch is based on the slap bracelet of the 80s/90s and is produced in 10 of Slappie's own colours and two sizes, adults and Jr. Each watch face is interchangeable, so with 10 colours there are 100 possible colour combinations, with many patterned watch bands coming soon.

Slappie was kind enough to send me one of their watches and I think it's really great, and at £14.99 is a nice, cheaper alternative to the famous Swatch watch, although they are better suited to those who prefer a chunkier watch. It's such a simple design that it will work with almost any casual outfit, and of course the 'slap strap' provides hours of entertainment. Slappie watches also come in very cool spherical packaging, pictured above!

Pinafore

T-shirt - SheInside* | Dress - Desire* | Trainers - Vans

The pinafore trend might be everywhere at the moment, but it's too damn cute to pass up! Yesterday I wore this coral pinafore dress from Desire Clothing, which also comes in four other great colours and is a bargain at £16. I paired it with what has become my new favourite t-shirt from SheInside, trusty Vans Sk8 His and Illamasqua lipstick in 'Scandal' which I got during their half price offer and is a perfect match with this dress. I couldn't be more excited about the warm weather we've had this weekend!
