Giuseppe Zanotti - love the spikes on the toes!!

Alice & Olivia

Rag & Bone

I can't help but smile when I look at these stunning pieces. When I see bright shades I think of the summer time when it's lovely and warm and when I can leave the umbrella at home!


To play it safe, wear one statement bright piece or teaming two contrasting but complementing pop shades together will also look great. 


Bring on the summer!!!!

Preen blazer

I'm currently in love with my J Brand bright jeans (robin red and royal blue) and my J brand Houlihans in the khaki / olive shades but feel like I need to give these jeans a rest for a while and try a new style. I saw these Ksubi jeans on Shopbop this-evening and love them! I love the pale/bleached wash of these jeans as think they will work so well contrasting against bright toned tops.

I know we have not yet seen the start of the cold winter weather but I can't help thinking summer, beach, sand, sea and waves when I look at these jeans! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the winter months especially when I am all wrapped up walking through the fresh snow with my dog but at the same time I love the summertime when I can dig out my pretty floaty tank tops, my shades and gladiator sandals.

I've picked the bright pink Preen blazer as it acts as the perfect contrast piece against the subtle toned jeans. This blazer would look gorgeous with all your jeans, cut-off shorts in the summertime, and would look especially stunning over a little black dress.

I'm off for a festive trip to London in the next few weeks and I know Selfridges stock these jeans so will be sure to check them out and see if they are as nice on as they look online and if they are then they will be my first purchase for my SS12 capsule wardrobe!

Designer V High Street - The cut-out ankle boot

The Giuseppe Zanotti cut-out ankle boot has been seen on many celebs including Kim and Khloe Kardashian as pictured below:-

For a pair of these beauties, don't expect any change from £500.

For the savvy high street shoppers, check out these almost identical ankle boots from Aldo:

I actually got a pair of these and with them, I even got change from my £50!!

These boots look good with dresses or skirts or with more casual jeans or turned-up combat  trousers.
 

My perfect travel outfit

Loose-fitting olive green linen combat style trousers, white tank top, black blazer with turned up sleeves and gorgeous sandals:-

I just got these trousers today from Zara. They are gorgous with my cut-out detail ankle boots (as seen in picture) or with flats. These trousers are also available in Navy.

I'll wear this with flat sandals for travelling on holiday then throw on my heels and a dressy top for going out at night.


The look - My black blazer is from Zara,white tank top by Alexander Wang and the ankle boots are Aldo's highstreet version of the Giuseppe Zanotti cut out ankle boots. Nails - I'm currently wearing a bright pink Chanel nail polish on my toenails called "Riveria" -  the pink clashes well against the olive green trousers and black cut-out ankle boots.

Block this way

When investing in your summer footwear, make sure you go for something with a chunky block heel. Give your skinny heels a well deserved rest and get on the chunky heels, not only do these look great, you've got no chance of getting these heels caught in a drain grill on the street!

Go for either an open-toe sandal or ankle boot with a chunky heel as they will look great with everything from your jeans to your pretty summers dress.
