The Tartan Fetish

Tartan Dress - Topshop, £36

Tartan has been popping up all over the high street as the Autumn Winter 13 collections start to take over and of course, I've jumped on the bandwagon! I picked up this cute blue tartan dress from Topshop for £36 and although it's rather summery, I will be able to add opaque tights and a cardi to when those dreary winter months are upon us. For now I'm making the most of the sunshine and keeping it simple with minimal accessories and flip flops.

The loose fit is so comfortable when it's hot and I love that the back is slightly longer than the front - gotta keep that derriere under cover!

The problem is, now I've had a taste of tartan - I want more! Here are a few pieces on my Tartan wish list...

1. Tartan Pencil  Skirt - Glamorous, £16.99
2. Tartan Crop Top - Glamorous, £13.99
3. Tartan Cigarette Trousers - River Island, £30.00
4. Tartan Hareem Trousers - Boohoo, £20.00
5. Tartan Midi Skirt - ASOS, £36.00

The Perfect Jumpsuit

For ages now I have been searching high and low for a jumpsuit that fits me properly - they're always too short / too tight in the wrong places / just look plain awful - but I have finally found my perfect jumpsuit from River Island. After searching for so long I was beginning to give up hope but when I spotted this one for only £28 I had to try it on.

Here are some pics of me wearing the lovely jumpsuit to Reading Festival this weekend. It was nice and sunny so I had to pull the legs up a little higher. 

Pork Pie Hat - Topshop, £25
Patterned Jumpsuit - River Island, £28
Black Bandeau - New Look, Pack of 2 £5
Suede Ankle Boots - Topshop, Old

When I bought the jumpsuit they had sold out off my usual size so I opted for a size bigger and popped a bandeau on underneath and hey presto - perfect comfy festival outfit!

The Floral Frock

Every summer I feel like it's not officially summer until I've purchased at least one pretty, floral print item of clothing. This year my item of choice was this lovely daisy print dress from Topshop. I bought it as part of my uniform allowance at work which meant that I got some discount off of the £46 price tag, which would normally be a little out of my price range. However, there are some lovely details on the dress which make it worth while; it nips in at the waist perfectly without being too small everywhere else, it has lovely slightly-puffed sleeves and last but not least some subtle cut-outs at the collar bone and waist.

I apologise for this ridiculously posey picture! Here's one of me and my lovely Mum where I look a bit more human...
