Dr. Martens

The sun was shining brightly yesterday so my boyfriend and I went for a big walk around London. I wore my Pull &  Bear dress because it is perfect for the hot weather. We visited Carnaby Street and went into the Dr. Martens shop and tried out their photo-booth as you can see above. Then we went for a walk around Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly and Leicester Square, finishing up at a lovely little Blue's Bar. It was a lovely day. 

Notting Hill Carnival 2013

Here are a few from Notting Hill Carnival - great company, great weather and beautiful parade. 

Spike

 H&M earrings. £4.99

Electric Blue

 

H&M dress, River Island Sandles, Crafted backpack.

I have been trying to find a backpack for a little while now and today I found one by Crafted for only £8 reduced from £30. So happy with it!

Forever 21

I am home with my mum at the moment so we went shopping in Birmingham Bullring today and found this beautiful jumper from Forever 21. (For only £19.75) I love the colour and the sheer detail at the back - I am looking forward to wearing it as the weather gets colder.

Party Dress

Last weekend my boyfriend and his family celebrated his mum's 60th with a party. I wore my favourite dress at the moment, which you can see above, that I bought a couple of weeks ago from Pull & Bear. (At only £19.99 it was a bargain.)

Disney Princess

Last Christmas Harrods had a beautiful Disney Princess display in their window and recently the designer Disney dresses have gone up for auction. The money raised will go to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. 

Oscar de la Renta, Marchesa, Elie Saab.

Roberto Cavalli, Escada, Missoni, Valentino.

River Island + RiRi

Rihanna has released her second collection for River Island for A/W 2013. Below are images of the pieces from vogue.co.uk. With a definite grunge and sports theme, you can see the touches of Rihanna throughout this collection. I look forward to seeing it in stores in September and November. 

This outfit is my favourite from the collection. 

Summer days

This weekend the weather in London is awful, but last weekend was beautiful. The pictures below are of my boyfriend and I enjoying some summer days last weekend. 

Powder Pink

Jonathan Saunders,  Roksanda Illinic, Carven & Celine

Sadly the summer will be coming to an end soon, so we need to be looking forward to AW 13 which will bring with it a whole collection of new trends to wear this winter. One piece that is always a must is a coat, and this time it comes in pink.

Oh Livia

This week Olivia Palermo released her holiday diary to Vogue, revealing the beautiful pieces she wore throughout her stay in Greece (where she was holidaying with designers Valentino and Matthew Williamson and her model boyfriend Johannes Huebel.) To say that I am jealous of her holiday wear would be an understatement.   

I need this D&G dress.

Love this wetsuit-style swimsuit by Lisa Marie Fernandez.

Beautiful pastel ruffles, with Matthew Williamson.

Birthday girl

Happy 21st to Cara Delevingne! I'm sure she is partying in style.

MKA and Bik Bok

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have released another high-street collection, but sadly this one is only available in Sweden and Norway. They have collaborated with Bik Bok, the scandanavian retailer, to produce a collection which is affordable but which echoes style from The Row. If you are going to Norway or Sweden any time soon keep a look out.

"We feel the collection reflects our personal style and will connect with the Scandinavian girl." ~ Mary-Kate Olsen
