Look Book| Spring Pastels

Polyvore

So its officially springtime and I can't wait for the weather to get a little warmer so we can finally start leaving the house without a super warm coat and boots! For me, Spring means pastels and this year, pastels are huge! I am a huge fan and they always really cheer me up, it makes such a change from the greys, reds and blacks that have been filling up my wardrobe.

So I decided to put together this little collage of a few things that I am absolutely loving and to give you all a few ideas if you hadn't had a chance to look round the shops lately. I've included a few sweatshirts because here in England, rocking a T shirt may be a little too optimistic some of the time. I also fell in love with these cute tie dye denim shorts even though I know realistically I will be not be wearing them for quite a few months! For those of you that just want to add a little splash of pastel to your look, then these cute mint converse would be ideal! As for accessories, pick up some shades or some simple jewellery pieces to add a little bit of springtime to your overall outfit. I'm also in love with these hair ties that don't damage your hair no matter how often you use them! They are brilliant and come in so many colours, well worth a look.

As for beauty products, there are hundreds of gorgeous ice cream shade nail polishes to brighten you up and I adore these bronzing/highlighter pearls. If anything, the packaging is just the cutest thing!

So thats a few ideas for you and some things that I am absolutely loving at the moment! Whats one of your favourite Spring trends? Do you love pastels?

Pretty Little Liars Style | Emily

Polyvore - princessluci

Hi Everyone, hope you are all having a great week so far. It was back to work for me today after five days off which did suck a little but it was lovely just being able to chill out and unwind. Anyway todays post is another of my Pretty Little Liars style series. This one is all about Emily's style and how you can achieve it yourself.

Emily's style is casual yet modern. Because she has such an active lifestyle it still has to be practical, think denim skirts, sweatshirts and trainers. I found this cute denim skirt and these skinny jeans which would be perfect for that sporty everyday look. Emily always sticks to quite basic t-shirts or striped numbers. This blue and white, loose fitting, striped tee is perfect paired with either jeans or skirts and looks effortlessly cool. Emily also loves slouchy sweaters or cute cropped jackets to take her casual style up a notch. This medium washed denim jacket is a staple in Emily's wardrobe and very versatile. I found this simple red tank top which will look great with the jacket. Don't be scared to try a few brighter colours though. Emily isn't one to be too boring and will often wear bright green or yellow striped tops or grey tanks with a faded design. To compliment the colours, try a cute yet casual hoodie to tone it down. This pale grey one will go with absolutely anything!

As for accessories, Emily is all about the trainers. She seems to have so many styles and colours so be sure to pick yourself a stylish pair to really nail the look. If she isn't wearing trainers then Emily is often seen in a pair of black studded biker boots. These look great with denim or cargo skirts and transform her casual outfits into something a bit more 'going out'. As for a bag, Emily isn't one for a cute clutch or a big tote bag, she likes something simple that reflects her lifestyle. Try this cargo cross body bag in a very neutral colour. And lastly onto jewellery, Emily is not the girl with the crazy earrings or the long pendants. She is happy with simple silver hoops or these super cute friendship style bracelets in several colours, very pretty but also very simple.

So that is Emily's style. What do you think? Is she your favourite little liar?

lots of love

Spring Style

Hey My Lovelies. Hope you've all had a great week so far and are excited for the weekend. I'll be working I'm afraid but thats what comes with working in retail I guess. Boo! Todays post is about springtime style and some of my must haves.

First up, I think everyone needs that perfect pair of jeans. Goodbye dark colours and hello to refreshing, medium washes. They instantly brighten up an outfit and take it from a winter look to something much more spring. Secondly, seeing as english springtime is much more like everywhere else's winter, a light weight jumper is a must. It saves having to worry about a cardigan or light jacket and looks super stylish and casual. I love this mint green Wildfox one. Its such a lovely colour and makes me think of sunshine.

Now I don't know about you, but I am a little bit fed up of wearing my wintery boots. So when the weather gets a little warmer I love to slip on a nice pair of trainers or Toms. Im really craving a pair of converse at the moment like these ones. Lastly springtime means ditching those black handbags and digging out cross body bags in lots of different shades. This Rebecca Minkoff bag is to die for! I just love the style and colour and if the price wasn't so high, I'd definitely treat myself to one.

On to cosmetics. Spring wouldn't be spring without pastel nail polishes and pink lipsticks. This gorgeous lilac Essie polish is so stunning and the perfect shade for a springtime look. And you can't go wrong with a classic MAC lipstick in a light shade of pink. Last of all is fragrance. I'm a huge fan of Coco Chanel but sometimes, when the weather is slightly warmer, I like to try a lighter scent. Daisy is very simple and light and the perfect finishing touch to any springtime look.

So there you have it, my first season style post. I thought I'd give it a go and do something slightly different. I hope you enjoyed it. :)

Love
