Style Trunk

Crop top: Boohoo

Jeans: River Island (similar)

Shoes: Topshop

It's not often that I get my belly out (crop tops and bralets normally being reserved for anything high-waisted) but it's been so hot in London that I gave in for this outfit, and was grateful for the light relief that a bit more exposed flesh gave me. 

In an effort to avoid a trashy, belly-out look, I kept the rest of the outfit loose (the boyfriend jeans) and casual (the birks). I've got so much love for this crop - it fits perfectly and the shape is really interesting. In fact, I'm currently trying to persuade myself that I don't need it in white too...

Jumper: Zara (similar)

Skirt: Laura Hyatt for Tina Lobondi

Heels: ASOS (similar)

The lovely Laura from Heroine in Heels has taken her love for fashion one step further from her blog and dipped her toe into the designing pool. She's collaborated with designer Tina Lobondi and created these gorgeous full, printed skirts, with promises of more items to come - I can't wait to see what else she comes up with! 

Handmade in London, the skirt is a perfect fit and the print is so unique. I love a good print clash, which is why I've teamed it with this pinstripe jumper from Zara (I've also seen similar in H&M) and balanced it all out with a classic pair of black heels. 

Like a lot of other bloggers at the moment, I am obsessed with the slouchy, wide leg trousers that are making the rounds in the UK's high streets; they're perfect for summer and can be worn dressed down with a pair of birks or up with a pair of heels. I love the colour of these ones from Topshop and think they'd look great with a simple crop top.

Top: H&M

Shorts: Whistles

Flats: Zara

I think I bought these shorts about four years ago, fell out with them for a couple of years and resigned them to the back of the drawer, and now my love for them has come back. This is my excuse for a bulging wardrobe and why I can barely part with anything...you never know when you'll have the desire to wear a piece of clothing, and I'm not sure I could ever get rid of pair of silk shorts from Whistles!

Leather jacket: Topshop (similar)

Tee: Mango

Jeans: c/o Warehouse

Clutch: Michael Kors

Heels: ASOS

The girlfriend jean: essentially the middle ground between the skinny and boyfriend. Straight cut, it's not too tight and not too baggy - perfect for when you want that happy medium. This pair from Warehouse fits like a glove and I love the slightly distressed look that is pretty much dominating the high street at the moment. 

For me, when it comes to a good pair of jeans, teaming it with the classics is always a winner, which is why

I've gone for my trusty leather biker and a plain white tee. Pairing it with heels and bold clutch just gives it that little bit of summin' summin'.
