#WORLDWIDEWARDROBE

So has anybody heard about the new #WORLDWIDEWARDROBE Competition? If you haven't take note; The competition is being held for bloggers by Travel Supermarket and it is an easy peasy way of getting a chance to win some ahhhmazing prizes!

All you need to do is create an Outfit with a Budget of £200 for each of the below Events/Locations;

-Sightseeing in Paris
-Shopping in London
-Clubbing in Ibiza
-Cocktails in New York
-Full Moon Party in Thailand

You can do all five options or just one or two, it is totally up to you! I decided to create outfits for Thailand, New York and Paris...

For my New York look I picked this super cute silk dress in a soft pink hue from Topshop Boutique. With white being a big shade of the season and the fact that its summer soon I decided to team it with White accessories in the form on elegant strappy sandals and a minimal clutch, both from River Island. Teamed with some plain silver jewellery and were on to a winner!



Sightseeing in Paris is exciting and there's much to see! That's why I chose this cute but casual mix of items. The white check dungarees are so sweet, but mixed with the Quilted Bomber and Black Flatforms creates a little bit of an edge. I added the Cobalt for a pop of one of the biggest colours this season. In addition the wrist strap makes it perfect for all the walking about! Get me to the Eiffel Tower! 



Thailand is one of the most sought after places for the party beach goer and that's why I was super excited to style this outfit. I have teamed this Lime Vest from Monki with some ole faithful denim shorts from Topshop. Paired with some tribal beauties in the form of this Zara Necklace and Topshop Backpack I am channeling my hippy vibe for the full Moon Party look. finished off with some Jellies with a slight heel, to ensure that I can be dancing all night long without feeling any pain...perfecto. 


So there you have it, 3 Outfits for 3 wonderful Places and within a budget of just £200 each. What do you think of my choices? Think you could have a go? Why not enter here and have the chance to win a trip to the place you styled your outfit for. In addition you will win £200 to buy the outfit!!

R-A-J-E

How's everybody's Saturday going? I was super pleased this morning when I received an invited to the launch of ethical clothing brand R-A-J-E. Have you heard of them? If you haven't then listen up! R-A-J-E is made up of Roanna Price, Annie Price, Joey Instone & Emily Coles. The 4 piece describe themselves as "an ethical design collective based in London and beyond". I am yet to see what the collective have to offer, but if their blog is anything to go by I'm sure we'll be in for a real treat!

Creative and Intriguing their blog Becoming R-A-J-E is a personal account of their highs and lows as an Ethical brand starting out in the Fashion Industry. Each member of the brand contribute to the blog, with their individual writing styles working brilliantly alone, whilst also complimenting each other. This has developed a  character for the newly formed collective and I cannot wait to see more!



I am super Excited to attend their launch in London in May and I'll be sure to give you the details! Why not check out their blog here.

Trend Watch: PINK

Looking over the Trend Books put together by Vogue, Elle, Company and even at my own employer Debenhams Its obvious that there is a few clear leaders in the Trends for SS13. Monochrome, Minimal and Sports Luxe are the top dogs for me, but has anyone thought about Pink?!

Erdem, Christopher Kane, Sonia Rykiel & DVF are just some of the designers that are reinventing the once 'Girly Girls Only' colour with fresh pastels, bright neons and hot hues. Pink has had a radical transformation and it is one I am absolutely loving. If you know me you will know that I rarely steer away from the dark side, with Black, Grey and Navy being my go too shades, however there is just something about the freshness and execution of Pink that makes me want to get my hands on so many pieces. Take a look at some inspiration that I have found below;



Clockwise: Christopher Kane SS13 / Topshop Tumblr / Solange Knowles / Burberry Prorsum SS13 / Facehunter / Christopher Kane SS13 / Shoes: Next £32 / Shorts: Roksanda Ilincic £400 / 

Will you be wearing Pink this summer? What do you think of my picks above? Please comment and leave your links. I would also be grateful if you could follow me on Google and on Bloglovin here.

What A Girl Wants- April

Hello! So I know it's been a while, please don't think I've forgotten about the wonderful world of blogging I simply haven't had that much to say. I've had a busy week with work and family commitments and haven't had time to think. Anyhow, now I do! I want to share with you a few little numbers I want to be getting my hands on this month.



This cute Co-ord from Topshop is just what I've been looking for. Great together and also really good as separate pieces...add a high neck black top to the skirt and hey presto! The shirt would also look great with some simple black jeans like the ripped knee ones I've also added to my want list this month. You can find these as well as the sunglasses here at Topshop.

I'm also loving cobalt at the minute and this satchel is super cute to add a little colour to any Monochrome/Sports Luxe outfit. Those Dungarees- Oh my so so cute, I'll definitely be adding these to my wardrobe! Finally the boyfriend coat. This needs no explaining, I mean it's a classic right?!

Let me know what you think of my What I Want Today list this month! What's on your Wish List right now?

Georgia Hardinge X River Island Design Forum

If you haven't yet heard of Georgia Hardinge, really where have you been? Graduating from Parsons School of Design in Paris and residing here in London ensured Georgia had a great start to her career. In 2010 I was lucky enough to intern with her over the summer and assist on her first show at London Fashion Week. That year Hardinge went onto to win the Vauxhall Fashion Scout Merit Award and the rest they say is history.

Taking inspiration from art and sculpture the collection has everything you'd expect from the designer; Prints, sculptured details and chic silhouettes are presented beautifully in hues of moody charcoal, bright white and softer shades of grey. The boyish shirts juxtaposed against feminine body con dresses are the kind of thing Hardinge does so dramatically well. Accessories show hints of metallic and the shoe of the season (flatforms) are updated with a sculptured trim. If you're the kind of girl who would like to put a twist on the Spring/Summer trends then this is the place to do it and to do it well. Take a look at the full collection here.

The River Island Design Forum Collection is another one of Hardinge's wonderful milestones in her career. Gaining exposure with the high street giant means more and more people will learn about her and even more will love her.

What do you think of the collection?
