Summer Days - Top Inspiration from Quiz Clothing, Simply Be and New Look Curve

So I don't want to jinx things, but pals, it looks like summer has finally arrived in London! I have birdsong and sunshine streaming in through my window, and am breaking out the factor 50 with a much greater urgency. In fact, I'm so convinced that it's here to stay, I'm actually in the process of swapping out some of my heavier winter clothing from my wardrobe for flowing summer staples. But it's made me realise that I'm in desperate need of some new summer tops, so having spent some of the morning browsing online, thought I'd post some of my favourites. (Please note that this post contains AL links.)

Where Are We Now? OOTDs Which Never Quite Made It

I love writing on my blog, but sometimes I'm not the best at staying on top of things. So as a consequence, I have found myself with a lot of outfits which were shot and edited, but never quite made it into their own post. Often it's because seasons changed, other things took over or life just quite frankly got in the way. But there are a few of them, and some of them I really love so I've decided over a few posts to publish them anyway just so they are out there. Where the items are still available, I've added a link.

The White Stripes - Curve Jenise Navy Striped Bardot Frill Dress from In The Style Curve

This is the summer where I officially stepped over to the darkside and admitted my love for bare shoulders. It took me a while to get on board with the cold shoulder trend, but I've always secretly had a style crush on the classic bardot neckline and fell head over heels for this cute design from In The Style Curve.

Waiting For The Sun - Outfit Posts Which Never Were

When planning what to write up for my blog next week, I realised that I had a bit of a problem. I have a folder filled with edited outfit photos ready to be written up, but some of them were old. Really old. Like, back from November old. I had shot a whole load of stuff to go up over the Christmas and New Year period, but then ended up scheduling lots of stuff about SS17 show cases so they got pushed further and further back. And then I shot a whole load of new stuff which was more relevant in terms of the seasonal trends / weather conditions, so they have just sat there, getting pushed further to the bottom of my blog post pile.

Fade To Grey - Knitted Hooded Dress from H&M

I'm pretty disciplined when it comes to working from home, but when there's a chill in the air it's a bit difficult to shake off my duvet. That was why I KNEW I had to get my hands on this Knitted Hooded Dress from H&M the second I saw it, because who doesn't want to spend their day wearing what is essentially a giant, hooded blanket?

Black Swan featuring Elvi and New Look

If you've ever rolled out of bed and desired to channel your inner goth ballerina, then boy, do I have the perfect outfit for you! I took these photos just before Christmas with a view to them being a good party look, and whilst I still stand by that, feel that it also adjusts to the edgier side of day wear too.
