As you may know, Manchester's summer is a bit different from the rest of the country at times, it's all or nothing with sun or rain. Luckily I managed to get some blog pictures whilst the it was sunny and clear blue skies. 

This post is about how to wear all black in summer. If you're unsure what to wear or are a lover of all things black, then these Topshop and Mango pieces are definitely worth adding to your wardrobe. I've got so many compliments on the sandals they're now one of my go to shoes. Oh and they've gone into sale for £13! I'm tempted to go and purchase them in nude. I mean it would be rude not too! Just hoping that the summer sun returns so I can wear them more.

My fave items in this post are my Chloé Drew bag - a dream come true! And not to mention the sassy Miu Miu sunnies.

Happy hump day, the weekends on its way!

Summer Vibes

Patterns & Fresh White Tones:

I thought I would do a S/S14 outfit build from some of my favourite buys on my summer/holiday shopping spree. I put this outfit together for when the sun decides to come out again and stay out! I love the spring & summer seasons (when it's not raining). 

Patterns - bohemian and festival and white coloured tones - sports deluxe and feminine shapes are two trends that seem to be really in this summer. 

This outfit is more of a relaxed look, which can be worn in the day or night. With sandals, boots or wedges and a bomber jacket or blazer maybe. 

Formal Patterned Joggers: Topshop

White High-Neck Crop: River Island

White Slip On Sandals: River Island

Necklace & Sunglasses: Topshop

Gold Watch: Guess

Style Inspiration

Black, Grey & White

 

 

 

Always been a fan of the Olsen twins, I love how they always manage to look good whether they are going for a casual chic look, chilled dress down look or dressing up for a big event.

What I like about the above two pictures are the black, grey and white colours, personally I think these are three key colours for any trend and can be worn over most seasons. The back to basic but also statement colours can be teamed up with other brighter pieces, such as accessories depending on the look you are going for. I would always go for black if I'm unsure, you can't go wrong with black as it is timeless and classic.

 I am loving hats and black leather this winter, so I thought the above two images were a great way to show some on trend skinny leather trousers and a classic black floppy hat, worn by two of my favourite style icons Kate Moss and Olivia Palermo.

 

CHUNKY KNITS: Personally I don't think you can go wrong with a simple, oversized knitted jumper, especially if its in black or grey. I love both the above jumpers and the outfits both of the girls are wearing. Both chunky knitted jumpers would look great dressed up or down, with a pair of Chelsea boots, heeled boots or even trainers. A key item in anyone's wardrobe!

 

I sourced all the above images from Pinterest, they are also pinned on my various fashion boards.
