Midi on my mind

I've been keeping an eye out since last year for midi skirts to come in to stores, and now that they have I'm comparing every single one in sight, for the right one. Since we had the pleated ones a Topshop the only midi skirt we've had in has been the bright blue pleated skirt and the navy blue polka dot one (both pictured) I'll definitely be buying the polka dot skirt, probably team it with a basic grey t-shirt and wedges, maybe even a felt boater hat.

Since I've been searching around I've found loads more that I'd like to add to my wardrobe, Alexa Chung has also been sporting the midi skirt, from her collection with Madewell, if you ask my opinion her collection was great, just way way to expensive for what it was, $250.00 for a skirt come on now, i could of made 8 skirts with that much money. Anyway here's some of best ones I've found around on the Internet, i hope you'll be supporting this 50's look this spring and summer!

Pretty Shocking

I wish the summer would hurry up! I mean I've forgotten what it even looks like. Me and Emily have booked away to go to Gran Canaria in February and quite frankly i have never been so excited for a very long time. Since my new menswear project I've been looking at this years spring/summer collections and boy are they nice! Just a shame it will be a while till they're in stores, so don't throw away your thermals just yet folks!

For those of you that laugh at Primark for their rubbish £2 tops and child labour sewn clothes, well you may just be a bit shocked to know that collection below is actually Primark! Yes you read right! It's set to arrive in stores later this year in time for summer. I couldn't actually believe it myself, i was looking at this years high street look books and came across this! I would probably wear everything in this collection, despise what i usually say about Primark! The midi skirt has to be my favourite, it's set to be very popular this year as we're going all 50's inspired this summer!

Winter wishes

All Topshop, visit www.topshop.com To get your hands on them before i do!

Winter Warmers

i think this season trend is the most I've been excited about in a while, chunky knits, mustard and dark red colours, sheepskin jackets and turtle neck jumpers, sounds like my kind of winter heaven. Along side Topshop and Zara, H&M have won my heart over with this seasons designs, they've taken some influence from the 70's. H&M's collection isn't that dissimilar to Chloe's obviously the only difference is the price! from mustard yellow turtle necks to knitted trousers, I'm sure you'll find a least one item that you'll love, but you better buy it quick, i have a feeling it will sell out pretty quick (after I've bought everything) so keep an eye out! here's a few photo's for you to dribble over.

Leather Summer.

So when i eventually have money, i will be buying leather shorts, particularly high waisted ones. I know what your thinking leather shorts?! But believe it or not they're everywhere this summer, I've tried my luck in vintage shops for them, and have found some on eBay vintage rocket shorts, they're ace, but i always forget I'm watching them and miss out!
Asos have some pretty cool ones, they come in grey and black with a laser cut patter at the bottom of the shorts, as far as I'm aware they only have the grey one's on asos.com retailed at £55. But if you don't fancy paying that much for a cow, then try looking at vintage and charity shops, which is probably what I'll be doing, i think these ones below will be a last resort, i really want some to wear when i go Leeds's festival! (which reminds me i need to book my holiday off for that!)

Another shop that is getting with the trends is Zara, they're also donning high waisted leather shorts but in brown, they look exactly like the ones in Chloe's spring/summer 2010 collection!

I think Whitney from the hills, is a perfect example of why you should, buy your own pair of leathers! They go with everything, blouse's, shirts, old band t-shirts, Blazers... i mean i could go on!
