Paper Thin 007

My wardrobe has had a pastel explosion this month, and I love it.

I can't get enough of this bubblegum pink & other stories knit, as soon as I put it on I feel all spring time happy! It looks great worn here with some of my Topshop staples, go to Jamie jeans and Tika2 slip on skaters that I purchased last week. A little pastel pick me up for a dreary Monday morning in London.

Paper Thin 006

I love this outfit, it is the perfect Sunday look. The jeans are from Topshop and are the Lacey boyfriend cut, which they seem to have replaced with the Hayden cut. I have these jeans in two sizes depending on the look I am going for and they always look great on, so I hope they bring them back!

This is my go to embellished top, it makes every pair of jeans I own look slightly dressed up without really having to try at all. Perfect. I wear it loads and I picked it up the sale a while back so it has been totally worth the little money I spent on it, hehe.

Finally I am a little obsessed with these new Topshop Vixen flats, so much so I already own them in two colours and I have no doubt that this will be added to before the summer is out. They have a great price point (£16) and a simple flat always looks chic.

Purchase of the week | having just had my haircut near Bond Street, I couldn't resist a quick trip to Topshop. I picked up a pair of their Tika2 slip on skaters as well as a few other bits! I love them already and have been wandering round my flat in them for the past hour admiring my feet hehe.

Wish List | Harnett & Pope

As I sit here browsing new labels to feature on the blog, Harnett & Pope is one that I couldn't wait to share. Their super geo t-dress has gone straight to the top of my wish list, it comes in four colour ways, and I particularly love the one below. Enjoy.

Boy shorts

I love the new boy short for this season, they are a great day to day length, and I like the masculine edge to them. I have kept the colour palette quite feminine, mainly because I am addicted to the array of blushes and pastels that are everywhere at the moment. However, don't be afraid to mix in some black/grey when working with these colours, as it gives a great contrast, and enables you to pull out some wardrobe staples!

Paper Thin 005

I am slightly glam this Sunday morning, embracing a little midriff and some spring time blooms. This jacket has been in my wardrobe for a few seasons, and I always get compliments every time I wear it. I got it from Topshop, and it is probably going to remain in my wardrobe for a few more seasons yet!

The heels are seriously high, and seriously comfy (go figure?!) and were an amazing Topshop sale purchase a few weeks back. I have styled the statement pieces with staple basics from my wardrobe. The leather pencil skirt was a vintage purchase and cost me £8 so a complete bargain, and I own about seven of these cropped tops as the midriff is key this season, so dare to bare.

New finds

As a blogger and a writer I am always on the look out for new labels, that I can fall in love with and showcase on my blog. I tend to read all the major magazines looking for new labels that work with my aesthetic and inspire me.

This etre cecile sweatshirt is a recent find and I am in love with this label. Simple, clean and cool. It works perfectly with these faux leather shorts from Finders Keepers. I came across this brand whilst going through Red magazine this month, and it is sure to make another appearance on the blog soon!

My most recent find came up as a who to follow on twitter, and I have to admit twitter was scarily accurate regarding my taste in jewellery. This ring is by Jessie Harris, I love the simplicity and rawness of her pieces, they are just beautiful.

Styled her with an Acne shirt (my go to label for wardrobe staples that I will wear season after season), great Sam Edelman pumps and some cute glasses from Zara.

Paper Thin loves... We Are Handsome

I first stumbled upon We Are Handsome when writing some summer blog posts last year, granted I was a little late to the game since they launched in 2009, however better late than never as the saying goes.

I love the brand and not just for the amazing swimwear (which is amazing) but because of their commitment to keeping this a small boutique brand, albeit one that is stocked in 38 countries. I love brands that give that feeling of owning something unique, something made just for me and they do this.

The prints used embody summer, the cuts are perfect and I am all for a little quirkiness, so it ticks every box. Oh and Diane Kruger is a fan!

As well as swimwear, they do a ready to wear selection and a range of accessories. The espadrilles below have made it all the way to the top of my payday purchase list, who doesn't want to look down at sun kissed palm tree as they walk?!

In their own words 'We Are Handsome offers a slice of summer wrapped in luxury' and that pretty much sums them up.

Into the fold

Pleats are everywhere, and before you think about school pinafores or bad 80s ensembles, think again. Pleats are sexy. The midriff is out, skirts are full, volume is your friend, the look plays to all of your positives and it hides everything else! So what are you waiting for, get into the fold.

Spring is coming and my wardrobe is embracing colour (and early mornings, hence the cup of tea)! I picked up this sweatshirt and statement necklace from Topshop this week. I am in love with these Office flats, and they are really similar to the McQueen ones I featured a few weeks ago but at a fraction of the price! However I got them a while back so sadly not available anymore.

I pulled the look together with a basic white shirt (this one is from New Look) and the perfect pair of skinny jeans (Topshop Jamie are a wardrobe staple of mine, as you all well know!)

Voucher Codes Blogger Swap Shop '14

This past Monday I was lucky enough to be invited to the Voucher Codes blogger swap shop '14. The event was held at the Soho gallery and I took my friend Emily along for some fun and fashion!

The thinking behind the event is simple and works really well, you take up to 5 things you would like to swap, you then receive stamps for your items. All items are then given a stamp value and you go round picking the items you like up to the value of your stamps. A great simple solution for bloggers with wardrobes full of clothes.

As well as the swapping part of the evening, there was food supplied by Mother Clucker (amazing name, amazing food) I had sampled their chicken at Beacons festival last summer and I am happy to say that the standard hasn't dropped one bit, fried chicken at its finest.

I attempted to make some embellished tights with some support from the Pinned it Made it girls, and I am happy to say they turned out really well, which was a surprise as I normally suck at craft activities hehe.

The night was a great success, cocktails were drunk, clothes were bagged (I can't wait to show you my haul in an upcoming post) and it is always nice to hang out with a bunch of friendly bloggers, thanks for the invite Voucher Codes and more of the same please!

P.s I also got to take my new &otherstories bubble gum pink knit out!
