Back to the Future

You may be puzzled as to how a fashion blog links to science fiction? Well, truthfully, there is no real link here other than the fact that science surrounds us, as does fashion. This is one of my favourite outfits and fortunately the clothes were all bough fairly recently and are still available for you to buy.

If we start from the top down; this beautiful 70's blouse is from Miss Selfridge and is just so elegant yet very boho and dilettante (although not very festival appropriate as it's white and I think we all know British festivals don't welcome this colour with open arms). This is a gorgeous piece that I feel I'll get a lot of wear out of and if you're lucky to be tall enough or happen to look fabulous in floral flares, this would be a great accompaniment to hit the trend.

I decided to pair it with the timeless Denim Skirt from Urban Outfitters which although timeless certainly has a 60's influence to it with its A-Line fit. I love the fit of this as it widens my hips a little which I like to do. If you don't want to emphasise or widen your hips then I suggest choosing a skater style skirt to help slim your hips if that's what you wish.

To contrast with the reverse of fashion, I chose to wear these modernistic Holographic Heeled Sandals from ASOS. They're comfy and are a very quick way to dress up and outfit. Despite this, as they are a subtle holographic shoe in the 'Barely There' style, these look great with jeans rolled up for a more casual vibe. The heel is very low, almost a kitten heel which I know a lot of people dislike so if you'd prefer a higher heel here's a similar pair.

The flower crown I'm wearing at the top of this post was from Primark a year ago, but here's a similar one (that's ON SALE!)

I hope you enjoyed today's post and that the mix of classic and current is to your taste. Keep your eyes peeled for the next post on Tuesday!

Fashion/Beauty Summer Essentials!

It's officially Summer here in the UK. Can you believe it? The sun is beaming, the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming. Because of this unexpected heat, there have had to be some obvious changes to the wardrobe - shorts, bikinis etc. But I'm not going to talk about the obvious essentials (sunglasses excused), only the small details that are essential to my outfits and how I get the ideas.

The Magazine - This is Elle magazine peeping through all of the accessories and polishes there! This is probably my favourite magazine as it incorporates High Fashion with High Street so there's always something for someone. Their High Street Edit shows that you can use more affordable clothes and turn it into an incredibly fashionable outfit!

The Sunglasses - I really love these sunglasses. Simple, black, quite chic and cool at the same time. They were from Urban Outfitters and were £16. The quality is really good so I don't need to worry about them breaking anytime soon! And of course, they're sunglasses so definitely an essential for Summer!

The Flower Crown - The 70's Hippy trend is back and the flowers on the High Street are looking better than ever, I must say! I have my eye on one in River Island, but haven't had the time to go and buy it so I can only show you if you click here (I know they're a child's accessory but I have quite a small head and I really love the flowers on it:P). Nonetheless, I do have a flower crown for Primark which was £2 I think - such a bargain! It's really pretty and you can mold it slightly to fit your head. The colour's are lovely and will go with  lots of outfits!

The Nail Polish - This is probably my favourite nail polish for Summer this year. It's the Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish in 501 Fancy A Dip? - The colour of this is so beautiful, the perfect cornflower blue mixed with a tiny bit of lilac. The finish is really amazing considering this is only £2.99! It gives a nice shine to the nails when painted and I think this will work with many different skin tones!

That concludes my Summer Essentials post. I hope you had a wonderful weekend with the sunshine!
