Style Trunk

Pom poms on shorts? Inspired! These floral monochrome shorts from Missguided will be perfect for summer (if we see one this year...this week I've had to dig out the scarves and jumpers again, and it's nearly bloomin' June). I like that these shorts take a different spin on the whole floral trend which can get a bit samey year on year, and what's more, they're an absolute bargain at £14.99.

A casual look for a stroll around Shoreditch last Sunday. I love this time of year when the sun's out and you can just throw on a light cover up like this Zara coat, and spend the day wandering around one of London's many markets or dipping in and out of cafes.

Fashionchick has launched a competition to win a trip to Amsterdam Fashion Week this July. To enter, all you have to do is create an outfit of what you'd like to wear to the event, and this is my entry. My style definitely errs on the less-is-more side of things and I love that this outfit is laid-back but still chic. 

I'm loving the sports luxe trend at the moment and this dress and backpack is definitely a nod to that. I've added a loose-fit trench (the cover up of the season) and some subtle accessories so I'm not too bogged down in the (hopefully) summer heat. 

I'm popping my Glastonbury cherry this year and am starting to think about what I'm going to wear at the festival (yes I realise it's a month away...but I am only in the thinking stage, not the actual planning stage). I kind of got over the whole 'festival trend' about three years ago; I know loads of people love it and do look great in it but it's not really my personal style so it seems stupid to adopt it just for a few days a year. 

So what does one wear to a festival (and the most historically muddy one at that) without looking like they're 'going to a festival'? That's my mission for the next month - to pick the perfect Glastonbury wardrobe. I'm hoping the weather is going to be uninterrupted warmth and sunshine but being a realist, I need to cater for all types of weather. 

This boilersuit from Topshop caught my eye - it looks like it will hold up well in a festival and is also something that I would actually wear in 'real life' too. I'm thinking paired with sliders for Glasto, and dressed up with a pair of heels back in the city. Yup, this boilersuit is a strong contender.

I hope you all enjoyed the gorgeous weather we had at the weekend - if our British summer is anything like that I won't mind having a staycation at all! 

I picked up this dress from Zara last week - at £17.99 I just couldn't say no; slightly oversized with this season's pinstripes, I think this will be a summer staple. Another exciting addition to my groaning wardrobe is this Michael Kors clutch from Harvey Nics - how cute is it?! Definitely one to perk up my outfits.
