Oh Look, I'm back!

 I've managed to actually get some outfit shots and be a proper blogger for once. I always enjoy doing styling posts, but they are quite hard to do by myself, so I've teamed up with my flatmate. As luck would have it, she's a fashion photographer so we're a match made in flatshare heaven!

 This summer I've been loving really simple pieces, and I've been trying to shop less. I found I was buying a lot of trend led pieces which I would wear a handful of times before relegating them to the back of my wardrobe and forgetting they existed. I'd then be stuck in the eternal cycle of a room full of clothes but nothing to wear.
Instead I've been trying to buy a few things that I can rework in a few different ways. This white tie- front top from Warehouse was a good first step. It works just casually thrown on with jeans and a pair of Adidas Superstars (because of course!) but it also works as a nice dressed up look with some gingham trousers, and sandals.

 Now, I know what you're thinking, Gingham is very on trend and so surely those were a trend-led buy, but I actually found these lurking in the depths of forgotten clothes, and I've been giving them a new lease of life. The Sandals are last years Zara and they are Aquazurra lookalikes but for a fraction of the price.

 White tops- very easy to style, but turns out they're impossible to keep clean, lets just say i'm glad white is my preferred wine colour!
                          
I recently bought these fab white Adidas Superstars, but I don't really wear trainers very often, so I had to go back to basics with my wardrobe and have a good look through to see what i could wear them with apart from the obvious t-shirt and jeans combo. I'm quite girly in my style of dressing, and I wear a lot of dresses and skirts, so I was keen to try and style them up in a feminine way. 

Outfit One: Shift Dress
                                 

This navy Zara dress is really easy to wear. Throw it on and add some shoes and you look ready to go. The white peter pan collar adds something to it that means you don't need to add a necklace or any extra accessories. I usually team it with a black ankle boot and wear it slightly dressed up, but I thought the addition of the trainers made it a nice level of casual that didn't look lazy. Dress: Zara

Outfit Two: Dungarees

                                 

I bought these dungarees last summer and have worn them so many times, that they were definitely worth the money. I'm glad I bought a black pair, as they work layered over most of my wardrobe, but this little striped turtleneck top is a really simple look, and perfect for everyday wear. I was worried that the outfit was a little too "street" for me and that I wouldn't be able to pull it off, but I really love how it looks. I tend to match with a really simple necklace and a leather jacket over the top. Dungarees: H&M, Top: Oasis


Outfit Three: Shirtdress


                                

This is quite possibly the most comfortable outfit I have ever worn. The slouchy shirt dress is a great shape, and the tie belt means that it will suit most shapes. This outfit is the perfect combination of girly and casual, and check shirts rarely go out of style so you'll have it for years. Dress: Oasis

How would you style white trainers? let me know in the comments!

Jewellery can transform an outfit completely. Add a statement necklace to a LBD and it has the ability to make it look like a brand new dress. However, having a slight jewellery addiction can be expensive, especially if you're trying to keep up with the latest trends every season. To help all you jewellery addicts out, I've had a look all over the high street and internet and found some gorgeous pieces for under £15, so we can treat ourselves to something and not feel too guilty about it.

 15. ASOS Ear Cuffs - £8
 Ear cuffs are a perfect way to update a look, especially if you actually only have your ears pierced in the standard one in each earlobe way. (Like me, I've toyed with the idea of different ear piercings but I'm a total chicken in reality!) Just pop them over the top of your ear and you look a whole lot more stylish in an instant.
14) H&M necklace - £7.99
 I really love tiered necklaces, as you'll probably guess from the rest of this post. Pair with a simple white tee and a pair of boyfriend jeans, and you've added to an otherwise simple outfit.

13) Miss Selfridge anklets -£8.50
 Anklets are a summer holiday staple, and the best thing about them is that they're the one part of a holiday wardrobe that can be worn at home in miserable weather. I prefer them on a sandy, sunny beach though!


12) Missguided Earrings - £6
Statement earrings are fab for a night out, I only really got into wearing earrings recently, even though I've had my ears pierced for about 15 years or so now, I just never really wore them much. However now I love a statement earring, or even better, a pair of hoops, to add a bit of bling to my outfits on a saturday night. This missguided neon pair are an absolute dream for adding some colour to an otherwise all black look.




11) New Look Rings - £3.99
 New Look is not often a place I look for jewellery, but lately I've noticed a few small pieces that are absolutely gorggeous, like this little ring trio. Stacked rings are a big thing with celebs and bloggers lately and most high street brands have released all sorts of sets, but I like to keep it simple with one big coloured ring, and a few simple plain bands, so this one ticks all the right boxes.


10) Oasis Necklace - £12


So tiered necklaces make another appearance here, but I do own this one! This is beautiful in real life, and since I've bought it I've worn it most days, as it goes with almost everything. It's the perfect length for under shirt collars and adds a bit extra to a plain top and jeans. perfect addition to your jewellery box really.




9) Promod Necklace £12.95
Plain and simple. exactly the kind of thing its nice to have at hand. I had never actually heard of Promod before researching this post, and it has a few other little hidden gems that are well worth taking a look at.


 8) Urban Outfitters Bracelet - £8

I think this is the perfect gift for a best friend, but the second I saw it i loved it. Also, its totally instagram worthy and if thats not a great reason to buy something then I don't know what is.

7) River Island Necklace -£8
I love the simplicity of this necklace, it means its really wearable with even the fussiest prints, and will go just as well with a dress and heels as it will with jeans and a tee. Definitely the sort of jewellery staple we should all be buying.
6)  Zara Earrings -£12.99
As previously mentioned I do love a statement earring, and these bejewelled Zara beauties are no exception. The blue works well in summer and winter wardrobes and will take you from work to bar with just an effortless swipe of lippy added to the mix. and really, £12.99 for earrings this beautiful really is a total bargain.



5) Topshop Necklace £12.50
Stone jewellery is a classic look that everyone should buy into. This Topshop necklace is another example of a classic, and the grey and gold pairing would easily fit into wardrobes with a monochrome colour palette. 


4) Warehouse rings -£8
These little rings from warehouse would be a really cute addition to a cute summer dress and gladiator sandals. The colourful gems also mean they don't need anything else with them, and they can stand out all on their own. Just pair with a perfect manicure and go!


3) ASOS necklace -£8
I can just picture this with a gorgeous midi skirt and girly heels combo. So basically, its right up my street style wise. 


2) Mango Necklace £14.99
This necklace just about makes it on to the list as it just makes the budget, but regardless, it is the perfect necklace for summer. throw on with a maxi and a floppy hat and you are beach ready. The feathers mean it would fit right in at a festival, yet it also wouldn't look out of place in your everyday wardrobe. 


1) Frippery Box Bracelet -£12.50
Diamonds are a girls best friend, right? Ok, so they aren't real diamonds, but when the bracelet looks this cute it really doesnt matter. Frippery box was a brand I had never heard of, but their jewellery is absolutely gorgeous, and they have something to suit everyone, and its all within most budgets. This bracelet is great for dressing up an outfit and would be the perfect accessory for a wedding or a day at the races.
