Happy Easter everyone! Hope you're all enjoying the long weekend; I'm spending mine up North with my family, stuffing my face with chocolate, wine and my mum's Sunday roast. 

I'm also taking full advantage of the sunshine we've been having; these palm print shorts from Fashion Union scream summer and have got me all excited for the next coming months (and praying for a good British summer!)

P.S I would love it if you could nominate me for 'Best Fashion Blog' in the Company Style Blogger Awards-it's so quick and easy, just click here or on the button in my sidebar!

I can't get enough of crop tops at the moment; they're popping up all over the high street but this one from Topshop ticks all the right boxes; I love the print and small studded detail. It has matching culottes (here) for a cute co-ord look, but I can also picture it with wide legged trousers, a full midi skirt or high-waisted skinnies. Factor in the cost per wear and this baby practically pays for itself!

How happy I am that the sun has been shining in London town and I can ditch the tights and wear my new faux-leather shorts from H&M and ASOS sliders. I pinched this jumper from my brother's wardrobe when I went home for a brief visit last weekend - it's his old school uniform but I think it can work in 'real' life! Actually, judging by the name sewn into the collar it looks like he pinched it from someone himself...

Regular readers of my blog may remember that I went to Cape Town in February this year. We have family there so have been going over since we were kids but this trip was a bit different and a bit more special, as my sister got married over there. 

A huge group flew over from the UK and the whole day was just incredible. It took place at the Twelve Apostles Hotel; a small boutique hotel nestled between the ocean and the mountains; the weather was perfect, and the whole thing felt really relaxed (apart from a bit of hairy moment when I was doing my sister's hair and two hairdryers conked out, then the air conditioning started leaking all over the floor and the hotel room filled with maintenance men whilst we were running around half-naked). 

My cousins and I were bridesmaids - our dresses were from Coast - and my sister's dress is by Louise Selby. We decided to do our own hair and makeup, mainly because we all tend to be quite natural and bridal makeup can sometimes be a bit over-done. I'm glad we did because it definitely suited the laid-back vibe of the day. 

I've put a few pictures of the day below (there are so many more but I won't overload you!); the ones where we look half-decent and aren't throwing dodgy shapes on the dance floor!

I've always been a fan of the ASOS Africa range but the new collection seems to have stepped up a notch. This mesh midi dress is one of my favourites - it's such a simple piece that could be worn in a variety of ways. I love that they've teamed it with a black bodysuit on the site, but it could also be worn over little dresses or slim fitting trousers.
