I BLOOMIN' love Topshop!

I know everyone else does too! But they have just got in a brilliant selection of bloomers, shorts and cullottes!

They are perfect for spring. I have been wearing them now while the weather's still a bit iffy with tights but as soon as the weather is warm I'll be getting the pins out or even 'cuting' it up with some sweet ankle socks!

Here's my short wishlist...

These lilac lovlies are fabulous. I think they're so elegant and can be worn day or night. Even though they have a pattern they could still be teamed with printed tee or a black lace top! They're only £35!
How utterly adorable are these chiffon heart print shorts? I want to go all out with a little blouse and ankle socks with sandals for a cutesy geek-chic look! So good for £30.
I'm in a flutter about these flirty, floaty butterfly print shorts. Perfect for summer. The contrast of black tights would look great too! Also £30.

I already have these and I have worn them LOADS! They go with everything. The way the fabric falls makes them look almost like a skirt but I don't have to worry about sudden gusts of wind! The side button detail is really flattering on the tum too. I got them for £35.
If high-waisted styles aren;t for you then opt for these frilly fancies! they can be worn with loads of different styles of tops including tunics or smocks for a laid-back summer look! £30.
Ahoy matey! these stripey shorts are so on-trend with the nautical look. They would look great with deck shoes or plimsoles! £30

Finally, these ditsy floral wonders emcompass so many summer 2010 trends. The harem shape is already a hit this season and everyone wants pretty floral prints! A little higher priced but SO worth it still at £38.

It was hard narrowing it down to these few pieces but you should definately check out ALL of them either online or in-store.

And don't forget that all you students out there get 10% off at Topshop so you'd save £3 or more on each of these styles!

Lots of love,

Oi Cheeky!

I spend so long making it look like I have spent minimal time on my makeup! I use alot but that doesn't mean it can't look natural!

One of my favourite things to use a cheek and lip stain.
I have used Benetint by Benefit cosmetics but me being me I always manage to spill it, resulting in Spending another £22.50!


It's alot of money to keep spilling and stainging the carpet with!
So I was in Superdrug the other week getting the usual bare neccessities and I see this...

Hmmm... looks like Benetint... Smells like Benetint... but why is it only £3.99?
So i decide to spend the money to find out why, and here it is.
IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME! Ok, so it may not last hours like Benetint but for that price I can live with that.
Benefit will always have a place in my heart and on my face but in this case I give Me Me Me's Pussy Cat the thumbs up!

Don't believe me? then give it a while, what the hell- it's less than £4!

Double Denim!

Not being a total jeans-fanatic I'm not sure about this one, but thought I'd put it up as its a classic case of trickle down trends!
Gorgeous girls were seen top-to-toe in denim modelling collections by Ralph Lauren and Chloe for their Spring/Summer 2010 collections.

Seeing double! (Denim I mean)

And now H&M have released an entire campaign of denim called "The Blues". Jeans are a big deal, i guess it never goes out of style, but this summer, double denim (thats wearing denim all over!) seems to be making its mark.

H&M campaign "The Blues"

This tunic from H&M is only £5.99 and I do actually REALLY like this short sleeve denim shirt... its only £7.99! maybe this trend will be a grower for me!

To get this look make sure you pick up a pair of jeans of "Jeggings" to wear with!
For a summer look role the bottoms of you favourite skinnies and team with pumps or flip flops.

So this season we've seen another look make its way from the catwalk onto the good-old high street. But I'm sure even the best designers have to be inspired by something...

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

C'est la vie I guess!

Lots of love,

I am MAD for Jarlo!

I absolutely love the beautiful vintage costumes in the TV programme Mad Men!

These vintage floral prints are everywhere this season and are a true staple for the spring and summer months!
Where to start looking for the perfect floral for you!?
For you girls which a tight budget but still hungry for fashion, look no further... Another favourite brand of mine, JARLO, offers bold, colourful styling, vibrant prints and vintage silhouettes, reminiscent to Betty’s wardrobe, in the TV programme.

The new Spring collection is a mixture of vintage inspired florals and prints for JARLO’s take on sexy yet feminine fashion. For styles that you will cherish, let JARLO inspire you (it has me!)...

The Rose Dress has finally arrived online, just in time for the sunny weather. I think this is the perfect sundress for a gorgeous girly look. The classic style will suit everyone and looks super-cute with this season’s ankle socks.

ADORABLE!! The Rose dress is available now in white and beige for £55.

The Marilyn Dress is perfect for a day-to-night look. The fitted bodice is oh-so flattering and can be teamed with your favourite pumps or sandals. Swap these for some killer heels for a super-sexy evening look in an instant!

Yippee! Bonsui!!

This has got to be my new favourite brand (this week at least)! Bonsui has not long been out but is available in Topshop Oxford street and it has already made an impression on me.
For me, the epitomy of summer dressing is simplicity and that is what Bonsui have delivered.
My favourite piece is this eyelet dress. The broderie anglaise-esque fabric is so girly and feminine, which I love, and the contrast bow detail round the middle sets it off a treat.
Now I don't know about you but this adorable little number isn't far from very similar to this Moschino "Cheap & Chic" (yehh right!) frock seen on the Spring/Summer 2010 catwalk!


I bet the price tag isn't quite the same.
The Bonsui dress comes in at £60, which is a bargain for this investment piece.
I cannot wait to wear mine this summer. Just need some hot weather!

Thanks for reading :)
