I've always been confident and daring when it comes to my outfits, I'm not afraid to take risks, I'm not afraid to stand out. I love wearing bold outfits, mixing textures and prints, but most of all I lovee mixing colours. So seizing the opportunity of the good weather in London, of recent, I decided to feature a daring and bold outfit once again.
Usually I'd colour block with two different colours, but this time round I decided to go for three. I teamed purple with pink and yellow, to create this head-turning outfit. A purple deep cut long-sleeve bodysuit, with pink tailored trousers and a yellow duster, were complemented with black perspex heeled mules and a simple black and gold cross-body bag. I finished off the look with purple cat-eyed sunglasses and a dash of rich purple lipstick from Mac Cosmetics. Sexy, bold and bright... just the way I like my outfits.

Pretty Little Thing have been killing it with the tropical prints of late; offering bold mixes in a variety of textures. It's really got me excited for the Summer time fashion and I can't wait to shop more pieces from the brand... just a few more, maybe one or two (ha ha!).
One of my favourite tropical prints from Pretty Little Thing is this pink and green palm mix. With plenty of pieces to chose from, I decided to go for this cropped deep cut wrapped top, as I knew it would go well with my baby pink blazer from H&M. I styled the duo with a green cross body bag and white high waist skinny jeans, both from Topshop. I finished off the look with pink faux fur and perspex heels from Hidden Fashion.

I've built up a little bit of a reputation as a colour block lover, surprisingly with some of my blogger friends referring to me as the 'Colour Block Queen'. Not wanting to be dethroned, I decided to put together another colour block outfit, featuring two colours I've long loved; Cobalt Blue and Dark Orange. I decided to keep the pieces simple, so the focus is primarily on the colours, as oppose to anything else.
I opted for this cool long-line tie-front kimono from Boohoo, teaming it with skinny fit trousers from Primark and a matching studded bag from MissPap. I finished off the look with my favourite perspex heels fro Ego Official and a pretty layered necklace from Pretty Little Thing.

I've been featuring a number of striped looks, so it's about time I showed you all that there are other prints that I also like... like floral. You many have read in one of my recent posts, that I wasn't always a fan of the print, due to my mum decking out the family home with floral vomit in the 1990s. However, much has changed and floral has for a long while been one of my favourite prints. So when I came across this cute co-ord set on Boohoo, I decided to get it.
I decided to team up the set with a black sweetheart neckline bracket, that I've had for a few years now (also from Boohoo). I finished off the look with some pretty gold pieces; a gold bag from Mango and a gold cross chain belt from Pretty Little Thing. I finished off the look with bold but pretty pink lipstick and over-sized sunglasses, to block out the sun.

Usually when people tell me I shop too much and I wear pieces only once or twice, I laugh. However, of late those comments have become my reality. I found myself constantly online looking for pieces to add to my ridiculously full wardrobe; be it a new blazer or a sexy little dress. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to buy something every now and then... but I found myself buying things that I seriously didn't need and would hardly ever wear... just because they looked pretty.
So I decided to take a step back and reevaluate my choices, I needed to make a change and that started with appreciating and loving the things I already own. So I dug out a few pieces from my wardrobe that I had bought ages ago (but have not yet featured on the blog) and decided to put an outfit together, here it is...
As you know I've been loving the stripes trend for a little while now, so I thought I'd feature another look. Instead of going for my usual bold vibrant colours, I opted for more muted tones; teaming up Navy, White and Tan. The contrasting stripes and the matching colours worked well together. I finished off the look with cool sunglasses from Missguided and a tan bag from Misspap, which highlighted the predominant colour of the outfit.
