Hats off ...

Autumn is rolling in and that means one thing - hats, woollen hats to be precise. They are a wardrobe staple of mine during the colder months. Besides keeping me warm, they hide a multitude of hair sins hehe.

So here are my top picks and to be honest I think I may need to buy them all!

The weekly review 019

Inspiration | I have been having a bit of a career focused week (which means slightly less blogging this week) so I have been inspiring myself all week with some great words to keep me focused - check my inspiration board out here

Purchase of the week | I am well underway with my holiday purchases, and to be honest I have a large number of bikinis already but one more won't hurt anyone and I couldn't resist this amazing River Island two piece.

Dive

I am in playsuit overload this week, I think it has something to do with summer finally hitting the capital. So I had to share with you all this amazing find from The Outnet, it is the perfect minimalist playsuit for summer.

I have kept everything else fresh and clean. Sometimes a little simplicity and a printed headscarf is all that is needed.

Take me away

Easter is here already and I wish I was going on a well deserved break somewhere hot and humid, but alas I am stuck in the somewhat sunny capital for the long weekend. Which isn't a bad thing as I have one of my best friend's birthdays to attend and a whole lot of shopping to do!

However if I was setting sail for sunnier climates this would be my outfit of choice. The Topshop oversized weekend bag is my new go to for mini adventures. Slogan t-shirts are always a winner and this etre cecile is witty, funny and on trend, love it. Styled to give the monochrome some pop with summer yellows and the signature slip ons from MSGM.

The Colour Edit | Mint

As the warm nights role in cool mint green is the colour to embrace, wear with monochrome for a chic pastel look.

Coachella

I am amazed is it Coachella already! But this marks the beginning of the festival season, and that can only mean one thing - festival dressing. Me and my friend Emily call this Stevie Nicks season. Festival attire is all about getting a balance between vintage (I tend to go 70s) and modern, functional pieces. This is not fancy dress, so it is more about embracing an overall style then trying to emulate exactly. Having said that if there is ever a time you can get away with flower crowns when you aren't a 6 year old girl, the festival field is the place to do it!

The weekly review 008

Inspiration | This week Spring has arrived in the capital and it is about time, so with that in mind of course I am already thinking about Summer. Warm breezes, sand between my toes, buying an unnecessary amount of bikinis! So here is my all new Pinterest board sharing my summer lovin' with you all.

Outside of Paper Thin | My most recent article for Your Style Forecast can be found here a treat for all you monochrome fans!

Purchase of the week | I am busy planning my Summer holiday and that means amazing swimwear, River Island is my go to high street shop of choice and this week I picked up this amazing bikini in the ASOS sale. I am in love!

The Colour Edit | Orange

The colour edit is here once again, and I am really glad you liked the placid blue collection from a couple of weeks ago. Today's choice is a little more daring, but since I am having some Summer flashbacks I thought why not brighten up your winter morning. So orange it is!

Also I am aware that the Bec and Bridge dress isn't completely orange but it is amazing, so it made the cut!

Seeing red

With valentines only 10 days away, I thought I would pull together the best red dresses I could find. After all if there is ever a day a girl can pull of this bold look it is valentines day ... although I am partial to throwing on amazing dress and prancing round the house on a Sunday, go figure!

Paper Thin 003

I have been living in this Miss Selfridge shirt of late, and it was a sale purchase so all the better. I have styled it with my customised (aka overly worn/battered) Leigh Topshop jeans and my River Island ankle boots that are the comfiest thing ever and are perfect for days out in London.

I also need to add that the varnish is from the gel colour range by Seventeen in Azure Amore and is so perfect for Spring!

Keeping it simple

There are days when I love a great dress, something you can just throw on and it looks great with minimal effort. I think I have found my solution with this dress from River Island, I love the colour and a simple dress is just what spring called for. Styled with wardrobe staples from Topshop and Office (the shoes are epic).

For accessories I have gone with Whistles and Borders and Frontiers. Regular readers will know I am a fan of jewellery from Whistles and so far their new season is not disappointing me. I am also loving this tote from Borders and Frontiers, they are currently stocked on ASOS however you can do private orders through their Facebook page. I am a tote loving girl and almost always have one with me, this gilded artichoke one is gorgeous and will be going straight onto my payday purchase list. Check them out!

Paper Thin 002

Following my slogan post earlier this month, I thought I would show you all one of the ways I wear slogan t-shirts as part of my everyday wardrobe. I purchased this one from River Island and love it, I have worn it Topshop Jamie jeans, New Balance trainers and my trusty Zara leather jacket.

This is my day to day uniform, and I also normally have an extremely large scarf wrapped round me and a bobble hat plonked on my head, combating the winter chill.
