l'été noir...




Despite last week's renowned English rain, it is officially British summertime! Being a lover of black clothing, I, like most, find it harder to pull off in sunshine. I also find shorts difficult to wear personally anyway, so I thought why not create a blog post that challenges these two worries of mine?

These shorts have become one of my favourite pieces now. They're able to be worn as smart-casual and are so comfortable and cool to wear, I've found no trouble. They fit in all the right places, and aren't hugging in the wrong places either - no bum cheeks spilling out here! The tie waist detailing is such a beautiful addition too, and possibly my favourite thing about them. This pair of shorts offer a great alternative to the denim shorts usually seen sported in summer. Bodysuits are also a love of mine at the moment. In this basic black, this halter neck piece slims the figure without offering too much distraction. You could also partner this bodysuit with a black choker like this sold by lamoda.co.uk for a more edgy vibe!

With the shorts and bodysuit costing just £20 in total, this look is an absolute STEAL. This outfit offers cool relief for all black wearers, and won't break the bank either!

PARTY IN PINK...


If you're anything like me, you'll love getting glammed up and going out with your friends. However, I always feel the struggle of owning too many LBDs and feeling repetitive in what I wear out. As the summer weather is upon us, I've attempted the branch out and introduce a little more colour into my night wardrobe. This rose pink coloured bodycon is perfect for any girlie girl who is normally a bit skeptical of wearing any colour too bright aka moi! Its bardot neckline is my favourite thing about this number, and what made it stand out to me initially. Despite it being very Sandy from Grease, if you haven't noticed bardot necklines have become a huge hit on the fashion scene at the moment. Baring shoulders and collarbones, this style is one of the most unexpectedly flattering styles going.


Have I convinced you yet?

WHY THE PLAYSUIT IS A SUMMER ESSENTIAL...



Being a blogger, I feel it is greatly assumed that we are all incredibly body confident. As normal human beings, speaking from a personal point of view, this is not the case for most. In past years, especially throughout my teenage years, I have always feared summer clothing because of how exposing some pieces can be. So to find a playsuit that I love and feel comfortable in is, for me, a miracle and it has totally changed my perspective of summer garments. After browsing boohoo.com for some new summer pieces, I discovered this striped playsuit. I fell in love with how smart-causal it is and how the nautical coloured stripes create a fresh, neat, and clean vibe. The great thing about this number is that it can be both dressed up (with a pair of heels and a pretty clutch bag) or dressed for a more daytime look. With this post, I went for the perhaps more wearable, daytime look. I partnered the playsuit with my white pair of converse (always a summer essential!) and my black saffiano Michael Kors tote bag. 



As the title suggested, playsuits are a summer essential, and here are my reasons why...

  • Versatility - A playsuit such as this one can be both dressed up or down depending on the occasion. This means you get your moneys worth as you can style it in many ways - I have so many pieces that I have worn once and in one way only!
  • On trend - Since being originally created in the 1930s, the playsuit has come both on and off fashion scene over the years. However since 2006, this shorter version of the jumpsuit has reemerged in popular high street fashion and has become a staple for most, including myself.
  • Comfortable - Despite being tricky to quickly get on and off, the playsuit is a particularly comfortable garment for anyone who worries about accidental dress exposure... The 'shorts' element eliminates any unwanted shame or embarrassment, so you can walk around in the wind free and confident. Most styles aren't hot pants either, which is fantastic for me as I literally despise any kind of 'short shorts'.
  • Affordable - Don't want to splash out on a new top AND bottoms? The playsuit is ideal, you get a whole new outfit in one!
  • Legs eleven - High waisted styles can make your legs appear longer than they actually are due to the waistband being higher up. 
  • Styles to fit all shapes - Playsuits range in styles, lengths, shapes, and colours! So why not experiment and try out different styles to find your comfiest and most favourable style?
