Shirt detail 

Skirt: Miss Selfridge | Shirt: Charity Shop | Jumper: Zara | Shoes: Topshop | Sunglasses: Asda  Feel like I'm always busy, never enough time to blog.   Gemma and I had an afternoon chilling and doing bloggy things..  I've wanted a white jumper for so long, but trawling through all the charity shops in Bristol came to no avail. I found this in Zara, and fell in love. Perfect thickness and colour for the English 'summer' I am also going to Barcelona in July, so if anyone has any recommendations of places to go out, please email me!

We ventured to the high street in Bedminster for a piece of cake and some charity shopping (these things all equal my perfect day off.) It is lovely having a housemate with a shared love for blogging, I don't feel so bad asking her to take thousands of photos to get that perfect shot! Check her wonderful blog here.. Hopefully the sun will stick around and we can get out  some more of our summer clothes!      Twitter // Bloglovin // Pinterest // Instagram: camillapolly

 Fancy Frocks

Jeans: Topshop | Top: (Gemma's) Charity shop | Shoes: Missguided | Necklace: Miss Selfridge

Last week saw Bristol Museum host the Harvey Nichols Spring/Summer '13 fashion show. I was invited at a blogger to the show, we were  welcomed with a champagne reception and canapes before the show started. Gemma, Amie, and Dulcie and I all managed to score a great seat on the second row (not quite frow, but still!)

 The perspex chairs and dramatic red and blue lighting totally transformed the museum and the show began with the chic 'White Out' trend.

My favourite trend had to be 'Colour Pop', where the models walked alongside Alt-J and 'Mixed Prints' which featured a 'Suno' blazer and trouser. 

These trends were followed by Metallic, Monochrome, and Fancy Frocks. The catwalk featured some of my favourite designers such as Marc Jacobs, McQueen, Erdem, Mary Katrantzou and my newly discovered brand.. Finders Keepers.

I had a wonderful evening with some of my favourite bloggers. To see some more of the pictures of the show here and to have a look at what the other bloggers wore here.

Joni Jeans in March

Jeans: Topshop | Shirt: Vintage | Coat & Sunglasses: Primark | Shoes: Vintage
What a lovely day!  Gemma and I spent the day at Ashton court, taking photos and basking in the sun and eating ice creams in our garden (it's a hard life, eh?) I have been looking for a boyfriend coat for so long I had given up all hope of finding one. However, I stumbled upon this one in the Primark sale, down from £35 to £10. Bargain! I havent taken it off since, along with my 'super highwaisted' Joni jeans from Topshop filling the black jean shaped hole in my life. Hope you all managed to find some sun today! 
P.S. I would like to introduce the latest addition to the blogosphere my housemate and bffl..Gemma from "Eye Where Genes"

How To Wear Spring: Monochrome

 Work wear : Dress and shirt*   Urban Outfitters | Belt and Shoes: New Look

  Date night: Skirt: Miss Selfridge* (£10)| Shirt*  & Bra*: Urban Outfitters (£45) (£20)| Ring: Retro Violet | Shoes: Primark | Hat: H&M

Weekend: Pinafore*: Primark (£10) | Shoes & Top (w/collar): Topshop |Top (crochet) H&M Kids |

I was asked by Vouchercodesuk 's magazine Most Wanted to take part in their Spring project " How to Wear" and given a budget to create three affordable outfits to update your wardrobe for the latest trends.

Monochrome has got to be one of my favourite trends this Spring. It is so easy to transfer from season to season. .Marc Jacobs and Diane Von Furstenberg were the first to make an appareance with the monochrome at New York Fashion Week, then onto Jonathon Saunders for London Fashion Week and  Topshop keeping it clean and crisp.

I definitely kept to my style when putting these outfits together. I always pair a simple dress with delicate collars and a bright lipstick for a feminine look.
A sheer shirt with a black bralette and a highwaisted skirt has to be a top favourite for an evening date. I was really inspired by Alice Temperly's new 'Somerset' collection which includes alot of monochrome and  versatile seperates.
Flatforms are my go to choice for dressing up an evening outfit, easy to wear, and super comfy! (you wont be falling over all over the place..hopefully!)
For the weekend I love chilling out in my new Topshop Martina geek shoes. I cant wait to wear them in the summer with a floral dress and white frilly socks. (Not long now!)
