Lust of the week: The Laden Showroom x Katka Rosanna geo panel dress
The Laden Showroom is one of my favourite shops on Brick Lane; it stocks some really unique pieces by young brands, and now they've even started stocking a few pieces on ASOS - so you don't have to schlep to East London to get your fix!
This dress is by Katka Rosanna - I love the geometric panels, mix of colours and sports-luxe style.
Outfit: cami dress, ripped jeans and sliders
Cami dress: ASOS
Jeans: Sheinside (similar)
Sliders: Topshop
I've inadvertently gone back to the '90s without this outfit...I've never been much of a fan of the whole 'dress over trousers' look but there's something about the slim-line cami dress and skinny jeans that just seems to work.
I can't get enough of this dress at the moment - it's the perfect thing to throw on (especially in the summer heat) and different looks can be created just by playing with accessories.
Outfit: LBD and diamond bracelet
Clockwise from above: Topshop lipstick in Trigger, Anjolee diamond bracelet*, Finders Keepers dress, Karen Millen heels
My style errs on the less-is-more side of things, and I love a twist on a good classic. Nothing screams 'classic' like an LBD, black heels and red lips, but the fit-and-flare shape of the dress and interesting cut of the shoes give it that little something extra. To me, this outfit doesn't need much else - just this simple (yet stunning) vintage-style diamond bracelet from Anjolee* (which sells everything from necklaces to engagement rings), which really completes the look.
Outfit: Pastel blue dress with sliders
Dress: Whistles
Sunglasses: Primark
Rings: ASOS (similar)
Sliders: ASOS
For the past few years, pastels have pretty much dominated Spring/Summer - both on and off the catwalks. I've never really embraced the trend because it's not really 'me'. Don't get me wrong, I like it - just on other people; when I see that pretty pale yellow dress hanging in a shop, I'm immediately drawn to the black/grey/navy garment close by.
But then this dress happened. Bought for less than half price in the sale on a trip back up to Liverpool last weekend, I fell in love with the cut and colour. Perhaps my love/hate relationship with pastels has turned into plain old love.
Lust of the week: Missguided suede biker jacket
This week's lust comes from Missguided, in the shape of this faux suede jacket. I love the biker jacket style, and the unusual taupe colour would make a perfect addition to a summer wardrobe. Plus, at £39.99 it's an absolute bargain!
