Style notes

I am loving that the shops have their new stock in, the morning's are getting lighter & I don't need the heating up to capacity - it makes me want to clear out my wardrobe (my weekend job) & make way for lighter tones & splashes of colour. Thought I would share some of the style notes that are getting me giddy for spring times.

1. Layering up on accessories - I love having arms full of jewellery & its a simple way to add hints of colour to an outfit. These are from J.Crew.













2. Amazing colour dipped nails - nails seem to be playing a bigger part in everyone's style at the moment (mine are bright mint as a i type this). I loved this idea, granted it would take me a while to master but I just loved the subtle effect of this. source
3. Fishtail braids - I really want to master this in my hair, I think it is the perfect Olsen inspired shabby chic but put together look that I love. I love this girl's laid back styling. source
4. Headscarves - I love headscraves & bands for throwing on when I am having a hair lazy day, it instantly makes me feel like it is a style choice rather than I slept in & my hair was the last thing on my mind. Love this one from asos.

5. Splash of colour blazer - this shade would be perfect for throwing over my day dresses or shorts & blouse combos. I do have a bit of a blazer obsession but they are just so easy to wear. Lusting after this Topshop one or the mint coloured beauties I saw in Zara.

How is everyone else getting their colour injection? xxx

  5. These pictures are very cool, especially love the nails and fishtail plaits, which I have been doing on my hair lately. For more colour I have also been doing the layering jewellery thing and I love bright coloured watches.
