What is your favourite Spring nail polish?

At the moment I have been loving Revlon - Blue Lagoon. I'm also really been to try the Nails Inc. Cornwall  Feathers Effect nail polishes :) I think they are so cute!

What is your must have lip colour this Spring?

I'm really into Corals and Fucshia's at the moment - It's such a refreshing change from Pin-up Red's and Vampish Berry tones which I love, but are being pushed into the back of the Lip Drawer in favour of a much needed ,bright, pop of colour :)

Show/Tell us about your favourite Spring dress?

Last week I brought myself this, in my opinion, stunning Spring shift Floral dress from Oasis which was £45.00. The cut is super flattering and personally I think it looks much for exspensive than Oasis ( I thought it looked a little Ted Baker esc).

What is your favourite flower?

At the moment I love Daffofils, I always have a bunch in my room as they look like little Suns which makes me so happy and cheers me up :) They're also dirt cheap at around only £1 a bunch. I also adore Tulips as their so elegant and come in so many colours!

What is your favourite Spring scarf/accessory? 

At the time being I don't really have a favourite scarf, as I mainly was (faux ) fur stoles, but I am crazy in love with Jewelery this Spring. I espcially am into statement necklaces. I rescently went to Primark and found 6 amazing necklaces which I've had so mcuh use out of. They are just amazing for sprucing up an otherwise plain or dull outfit.

 

What Spring trends are you most excited for?

I have done a whole post dedictated to Spring Trends, as I absolutly love the chnage in fashion from Winter to Spring as it is just a refreshing wash of colour after the darker hues on Winter trend. If you want to see the Trends I'm especially excited for check out my post.

What is your favourite Spring candle?

I would LOVE to say my favourite Candle is Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay Candle, however, I could not justify £38.00 on a Candle, however I do think this is an abolsutly beautiful buy. One candle I can say I always have burning in my room is the Wax Lyrical Vanilla & Tonka candle - I get mine from my local Waitrose.

What is your favourite body spray/perfume for Spring?

This for me is an obvious choice - Chanel Chance - Eau Tendre. It is such a beautiful, fresh, young girly scent. This fragrence is (I'm rubbish at describing scents) is fruity and floral but not in the slightest way sickly. The staying power is also really good, as I often find Perfume does not last on me.I'm also lusting after  Chloe - See By Chloe, which is so lovely.

What is Spring like, where you live?

Where I live Spring is always lovely & hot. It's rare to see a cloud in the sky in Spring - HA only joking I live in yorkshire! Spring is very temperemental in Yorshire, you will get the occasional sunny day but in general it is generally warmer than Febraury time - but beware for cloudy days & col breezes!

What is your favourite thing about Spring?

Hmm, tricky one. I think the main things I adore about Spring is the fact that the world seems to come to life, the countryside near my house is awash with baby animals and the flowers come out :) As gay as it may sound, the flowers really make me smile on my to work when I see them.

Are you a Spring cleaner?

I'm going to have to say no, but that is purely based on the fact that I more or less obsessivly clean all year round :)

Any plans for a Spring break/Vacation?

YES :) I'm very excited to be taking advantage of the bank holidays at the end of May  and taking myself off to Holland for a few days to spend time with my sister-in-law/bestfriend, Juul. I absolutly can't wait :) EEEEK.

I TAG you all to do this tag, and if you do it.. please comment below with the link to it so we can all have a read of your Spring answers!

TREND REPORT//SPRING TRENDS I LOVE

After a long winter, Spring is finally in the air, and with the start of Spring comes, not only a change in weather, but a breath of fresh air when it comes to trends :)

Personally,I love Spring fashion as it means being able to incorporate colour and styles in to your wardrobe that won't be hidden by a big coat..

So, here are my top picks for Spring..

I LOVE this trend! Monochrome is so so easy to wear and will instantly make you look chic and sophisticated. When I'm choosing clothes, in general, I go for a more "dressed up", fitted look, and Monochrome lends itself so nicely to this look. These Cullotes from ZARA are so flattering and would easily lend themselves to other trends, not just Monochrome. And for £25.99 I think they would be great for a sophisticated ( and if you like, sexy) outfit.
Saying that, Monochrome can easily be dressed down. For example the Swing Dress from ASOS is so freaking cute! It's girls and fresh without being sickly-sweet and could be taken from day-to-night with merely a pair of heals! The long sleeves also make it great for this time of year when the weather can still be quite unpredictable. I also think that is Crop Top from Topshop, could be dressed down with high waisted shorts for festival chic, or dressed up with a leather mini and heals. Although Crop Tops are not the easiest trend to pull off I do love them, especially with something high waisted, showing just a flash of skin.
If you don't really fancy head-to-toe Monochrome, these Wedges from ZARA will not only give a hint of Monochrome to your outfit, but they are also super flattering as the light colour on your feet elongates the leg :) Or this cute Clutch Bag from Accessorize is great for a night out, and the gold hardware makes the bag look much more expensive then the £19 price tag!.

This trend, to me, is scary... amazing, but scary! My Wardrobe consists main of black, white & grey, with the occasional pop of colour, so when I saw this trend I admit, I was intimidated.
 For those brave few who dare to wear this trend head to toe - go you, it looks amazing! However, for you colour-phobes out there, this trend can be really easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. This can be done by using a few bright splashes of colour, whether it be an eye catching Coral Lip ( Sleek Lip Colour - Papya Punch is amazing for this) or a neon clutch, such as this Tangerine Clutch - ZARA  above ( which is a great cheap alternative to the Chanel Lego clutch), to brighten up your look. I actually brought the Two-Tone Yellow Dress -ZARA ,above,the other day and it adds a sweep of eye catching canary yellow to an otherwise simple dress. I think these items are great value, as they can be used time and time again to brighten up any outfit.

I chose these Hawaiian Print Heels - Aldo because I think they are the perfect combination of a sleek elegant style of shoe, and a fun, vibrant print. I think they would look amazing with a casual day time look with coloured jeans or denim.. or on the other hand, with a  cute cocktail dress for a night out.
Finally, this Fusia Silk Blouse - Joy is amazing. It has small, loose cap sleeves which are super flattering if, like me, your conscious about your arms. The bright Fuschia colour looks great teamed with a leather biker jacket to toughen it up.

So, for Spring, Florals are the obvious trend which appear in shops year after year. They are so pretty and it just makes me happy to see so many beautiful prints in the shops. I would say that they are actually the most wearable trend as they are so girlie and soft.
I also love how diverse Floral clothes can be. For example, these Trousers - Topshop , are such a statement piece as the bold colours make such a contrast with the pretty design. On the other end of the Floral spectrum is this Dress - Ted Baker which , with its understated foral embellished top, is a less busy option for a floral dress. I have been lusting after this dress since I saw it in March in John Lewis, and I think it will have to be my next little treat.
Another thing which is great about Florals is that they lend themselves so well to accessories. There are hundreds of gorgeous floral bags, necklaces, earrings and scarves around at this time of year. One of my newly discovered sites is www.dollybowow.co.uk which is crammed full of amazing, unique acessories, clothes and home ware all of which are at great prices. This is where I found my new love, this amazing Floral Crown and Necklace. I love this crown SO much and cannot wait to get my hand on it, I just think i will feel so special and cute in this. I was especially drawn to this necklace because, as much as I love statement necklaces, it is so delicate and pretty.
