Hot to Trot

This season, when it comes to sneakers, the more glitz, glitter and gems, the better!
Miu Miu have created this stunning range of high fashion sneakers and with prices ranging between £295 ~ £450, these aren't just any ordinary sneakers!

For those of us who love these, but can't afford to splash the cash, why not try customising a simple pair of plain sneakers or even a pair of blank converse with studs, glitter, jewels.......the skies the limit to how far you go with them.

Have a search on eBay or in the charity shops for old pieces of jewellery, studs etc to use for your bespoke sneakers.

Happy DIY fashionistas!!!

 

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.

When it comes to sunglasses................................

.........The Bigger, the better


Jackie O, she was one of the major style icons of the 60's. When you think of Jackie O the first thing you remember is the glamourous oversized sunglasses she always featured. Her sunglasses were her trademark, women everywhere were soon to be seen wearing oversized sunglasses, in the daytime or night!

Jackie O

Today, oversized sunglasses are still as popular as ever, probably even more so with more influential celebs like Victoria Beckham and the Olsen twins being featured wearing them as the seasons must have staple accessory.

I love both Aviator and oversized sunglasses so I like to alternate between the styles depending on my mood.
I prefer the plastic sunglasses as opposed to the metal frames as I feel the plastic frames are softer on my face and more comfortable for me to wear.

Here's some of this seasons hottest oversized sunglasses that are available to buy now:-

 Alexander McQueen
Ooh, I love these! These round framed black sunglasses feature an unusual ridged edge detail around the sides, it reminds me a bit like a zip! I think these are simple, classic and the detailing will make them stand out. These are from the Mode de Vue boutique in Paris and are available to order via www.farfetch.com at £239, perhaps a little bit pricey, but ooh so worth it!

Victoria Beckham
"Flard Jackie O sunglasses", well we know where these frames took there inspiration from!
 The price tag for these beauties is not for the faint hearted................ these will set you back £325 and are available to order from www.netaporter.com

Balenciaga
These black plastic sunglasses are very Olsen Twin style. These will set you back £265 and are available to order via www.farfetch.com
 



Don't forget the High Street has a wealth of gorgeous sunglasses to choose from too. Often high street stores will try to mirror the design of there collections to model that of the designer styles so you don't need to pay designer prices for your sunglasses unless you really fall in love with something special.

Hot picks of the High Street

Topshop 
Oversized sunglasses at an undersized price of £12

ASOS

Remember, sunglasses aren't just a fashion accessory, they are there to protect your eyes so remember to ensure they have UV protection, trust me, not only will you look good, you will feel good!

Pretty in Pink

The new colour trend i'm seeing more of these days is the pale, dusky pinks. Check out some of my fave pieces in this on trend shade:-

Miu Miu sandals ~ these sandals are super stylish with the platform sole but in this pretty shade of pink it keeps them classic looking.

Alexander McQueen bag ~ this bag has been released in many different shades although in this dusky rose pink shade it softens the rock chic style of the bag.

 Alice by Temperley skirt ~ this pencil skirt is gorgeous. Team this skirt with a simple shirt or vest and let the stud detailing in the skirt do all the talking.

Nixon Watch - the plastic, rubber watches are still big on trend and this retro styled watch is not only practical but it's reallly cute!
