Topic Tropic.

As great as it would be, to book a flight on those wet, grey days; to some remote Pacific island just to bask in the midday sun under an empty blue sky, piña colada in  hand - we can't. But we can invest in a little piece of paradise at home. Whatever the weather it's easy to inject so summer zest into your day. Tropical print is huge right now and teamed with some killer colour pop, you're set to have a sunny day!

Mint Madness.

 

I wouldn't go as far as saying obsessed.. hmm.. well, let's say very fond of; that's how I'd describe my like for mint pastel green at the moment. It hasn't been a conscious decision but it's definitely been a recurrent theme throughout my purchases recently; socks, nail polish, bag, top, skirt - OK, bit much but I adore it!

 

So, with mint on my mind I put together this gorgeous summer outfit for my holiday; I can't wait to wear it!

Green Eyes. Green Buys.

So summer is officially here, finally! Typically, my purchase of the month is a sweater - fine knit though so it's not completely ridiculous but I could not resist the fluorescent green when I strolled into H&M on Buchanan St, Glasgow, last week. And at £7.99, that sealed the deal!

As you can see, I've been adding this splash of colour to several of my summer outfits. Today I wore it casually over my pineapple print body-con, also from H&M (another steal at £6.99!) with coral sandals and a bright blue bag.

 

Ultimately, it wears well with anything - jeans, skirts, shorts and dresses. The energetic burst of colour is well suited for the sunshine and it never fails to add some brightness to my day if the sun gets a little shy.

 

LOVE!
