About two or three years ago I had the biggest obsession with a website called Polyvore. It is basically a website that lets you create collages of all sorts of things - fashion, beauty, shoes and all that jazz. You have complete freedom to browse through a huge online closet full of images for you to mix and match. There are also a bunch of fonts and effects for you to play with the add to your collage (*cough* procrastination central *cough*). I have linked all the different items above but if you click here you can check out my Polyvore account where this collage as well as future ones will be available to save/favourite and to check out the links for the various items. Now onto the collage Spring Time Happiness..
Here in England the Spring/Summer weather is beginning to appear (today was wonderful - 17 or so degrees.. yes please) so for this special occasion I thought I would make a little fashion collage based on this time of year. Just to clarify - I do love heels but I don't know if I could handle wearing them all day erryday.. I truly admire the ladies who can but I, sadly, am not one of them. However, I thought a sexy pair of black pumps would just look fabulous with this outfit - don't you agree? As I have mentioned in a previous post, I am a big fan of the ripped up boyfriend jean trend and I have recently seen a lot of girls wearing them with either white button ups or white tank tops... And it looks amazing. There is just something so perfect about denim jeans and a white top - it just screams summer time to me. Personally, I prefer the more oversized shirts and tops for summer - easy and breezy, ammirite?Depending on what time of day you are planning to rock this outfit.. a red lip could be added as a way of spicing it up a little bit. A red lip is always a good idea. I have this one brick red lipstick from MAC cosmetics that I love because it is the perfect deep red and has a lovely texture and pigmentation.
Let's talk accessories now, shall we? First - the handbag. If you haven't come across the Mulberry Alexa Bag you must be living under a rock or avoiding it on purpose. This is one of those bags that will be fashionable for a very long time in my opinion, especially the brown and black leathers because they can be paired with pretty much everything and anything. No - I do not own this beautiful specimen of bag but a girl can dream! Next up is probably the most essential accessory at this time of the year - a lovely pair of sunnies. I have a very round and weird face, which makes it difficult for me to find sunglasses that don't make me look like a bug (also I am ridiculously picky..). One of the very few styles that suits me in the world of sunglasses is the cat eye - a timeless sunglass shape if you ask me. Finally we have some bling - the cherry on top of any outfit. I never really wear a tonne of jewellery but when I do it is mainly rings (I have 5 rings that I always wear) and necklaces. Necklaces, especially, can really just add that something extra to an outfit - whether you are going out for drinks or for a shopping trip. It is such a small and simple detail that can have a great effect and complete an outfit. Next up on my necklace wish list is a huge, chunky statement piece.
Hope all you wonderful people enjoyed this post! Have a beautiful day!
Much Love,
