Summer Black

I love wearing colour however I always feel happiest in black and white.  A simple monochrome outfit doesn't have to look dull and by choosing pieces in unusual shapes and cuts you can still achieve the wow factor.  A favourite discovery of mine is monochromatic London brand Twist and Turn.  The street style inspired range with pop-rock attitude designs beautiful origami pieces for everyday wear.  Their wrap blouses and pleated dresses are some of my go to pieces.  Perfect for this warmer weather!

Hop over to the Twist X Turn website to check out their Summer collection or pop into Topshop Oxford Circus.

I'm a sucker for anything copper and these Gucci inspired slingback heels are no exception.  The soft quilted leather and block heel make these beauties ideal for all day office to bar action.  The great thing about metallic shoes is they go with absolutely everything.  I love pairing these with more casual pieces such as faded boyfriend jeans and a sleeveless blazer but they look just as good worn with a silky slip dress or floaty playsuit.  Also can we just discuss this wall?

Hey There Summer / How To Make The Most Of The Heat

For me, one of the best things about Summer is being able to air-dry your hair.  Getting up on a lazy Sunday, washing your mane, giving it a quick comb and a drop of oil and heading out.  After a few weeks of minimal styling your hair quickly recovers from months of torment.  This week the English Summer has arrived and with it the heat and long golden evenings.  Lets hope it continues and my hairdryer can remain in storage a little longer.
