Spring Edit: I LOVE Pastels!

I know it's still pretty cold outside, but with the end of February near and with March around the corner I thought it would be very appropriate to do a 'spring season' inspired post sharing my love for pastel fashion! The probability of it being dreary, cold and blustery this March is undoubtedly high, but there is no stopping fashion brands from bringing out all those gorgeous garments that define SPRING FASHION. I've been browsing so many high-street and couture stores recently and there are literally so many beautiful pastel shaded clothes out there for this coming season! The plan is to move away from the cranberry/burgundy winter hues and usher towards the pastels whatever the spring weather brings! Here are some of my current favourites I am sharing with you below, and I will sure do a haul post of any pastel garments I do purchase this spring 2014!

Just to clarify...I know there were a couple of oversized boyfriend coats and layering knitwear that endorsed the pastel palette this autumn/winter, but there is no better time to wear pastels in full swing than the spring! So let's move on past pastel winter layering shall we...

CURRENT OBSESSIONS/FAVOURITES...

Pastel garments are all about wearing shades of lights/baby pinks, mint greens, duck egg blue's and a little hint of spring yellow. I absolutely adore all these pastel colours and find pastel's not only perfect for the spring but rather sensual and feminine for any woman to wear. Before stepping into the summer with a wardrobe full of bright and luminous colours, these spring pastels are perfect for adding that little depth of spring/summer colour to your wardrobe gently. 

NEW LOOK: PINK SLEEVELESS PEPLUM - £8.99

This sophisticated peplum top would look great with a classic white pencil skirt or pair of denim jeans. I think the colour is perfect for the spring and can be accentuated with a bejewelled statement neck-piece for a night out.

LORD AND TAYLOR: ERIN STRAPPY STILETTOS - £78.00

How gorgeous are these Lord & Taylor strappy's? The neutral/nude undertone allows these versatile stilettos to be paired with almost anything. They are perfectly chic and would look great on the feet this spring.

MISS SELFRIDGE - FLOWER PASTEL CHAIN NECKLACE - £17.00

This is an all time favourite neck piece that oozes 'spring femininity' like no other. It's minimalist design and pastel shades make it ideal for the coming season, and would look fabulous against a simple white top/collarless blouse.

TED BAKER - ROMANTIC TIMELESS JEANS, LIGHT PINK - £55.00

Whenever I think of the spring I automatically correlate the season with all those blossoming flowers. Hence why these pair of jeans would be perfect for the season. I love the floral print against a pearl pink backdrop!

MISS SELFRIDGE: PASTEL FLOWER STUD EARRINGS - £8.99

Paired with the statement neck piece listed above, these stud earrings will finish off the look perfectly! Again, they are very dainty and floral, but given the design and colours I think they would be ideal.

STEVE MADDEN: MARLENEE MINT GREEN HEELS - £60.00

Ankle strappy's have been hot in fashion for a while now and they are certainly not going anywhere. These lush mint green heels would look great with those floral print skinny's or even a chic spring dress. I absolutely love these!

RIVER ISLAND: GOLD TONE PASTEL FLOWER STATEMENT RING - £4.00

I very rarely wear rings, but I particularly like the floral design of this ring, which would add that bit of colour to the hands. Given the pastel shades it will not look extremely obvious on the hand either.

RIVER ISLAND: YELLOW PADDED SHOULDER TANKER TOP - £25.00

Initially, I thought yellow may be too much of a bright colour - more appropriate for the summer. However, this daffodil shaded tanker top is perfect for the spring and would look fabulous when paired with a pair of denims or a leather mini skirt. 

OUTNET.COM: BALMAIN LOW RISE SKINNY JEANS - £130.00

Mint green is one of my favourite pastel shades of the season, which is why I could not resist adding these pair of skinny jeans to my must-have list! I love the fact you can pair these with almost any colour, from pastel pink, white, to duck egg blue.

MANGO: SHIRT DRESS LIGHT PASTEL PINK - £30.00

This light pastel pink shirt dress is ideal to wear with any pair of stiletto's enlisted above. It's perfect day-wear and evening wear, and when paired with a classic pastel tote handbag and those shoes, I think this look will come together as something super chic and sensual for the spring.

MY PASTEL WISH LIST... 

...And then there are some of those pastel garments that you also wish you could afford! We all have a wish-list from time to time, and these are four particular's that have made it to my wish list. If you are interested in where you can purchase these couture items from I have listed them below. Of course I do wish I could own these items too, but there's really no harm browsing and collating images to lust over!

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN: LADY PEEP SLING SPIKES - £835.00

Get the London Fashion Week A/W14 look!

First and foremost, to all my nearest and dearest readers out there I am sincerely apologetic for the major lack of blogging this month! In all honesty, I've been really really busy working and I really haven't had enough time to sit down and blog! I have been heavily consumed by all the excitement around LFW A/W14, and I can honestly say the past couple of weeks have been incredibly awesome! Almost every corner street in and around Covent Garden, Temple and Strand has been adorned with LFW's Mercedes Benz vehicles and lush pink taxi cabs, bringing the whole fashion chic-ness to life! London is such an amazing city, and I truly feel so incredibly lucky to be here right now! 

But anyway, again, I am very, very sorry for the downfall in blogging of late. To make up for it I'm doing a classic 'get the look' post for all of you out there looking for some inspiration. Keeping it relevant, I'm concentrating strictly on all the style's and suaveness coming from LFW! Go get your hands on these top five looks...

Olivia Palermo arrived at this years LFW A/W14 in a splash of colour-blocking favourites. From mixing cranberry hues with a dash of electric blue, Olivia sure did make a lot of head turns on this occasion. What I love most? The fact that two of the most divided colours from the palette have come together to create an all new tasteful and chic outfit, perfect for the 'sloane' streets of London! Fashion is all about experimenting with different styles and colours, and this colourful experimentation is definitely a winner!

If your'e looking for that distinctly subtle yet sensual look, then this is the look for you! Add a pair of ankle strap sandals with an understated yet uber sexy jacket over your shoulders and you have mastered the all time LBD sensual look.

Vivacious model, Georgia May Jagger made a classic biker-chick appearance on the night of the party held at the Claridge's. I love the whole statement look and think it's a super chic and rock-festive look you can even work with a pair of ankle boots when looking to work a daytime casual look. Every lady must own a black leather jacket - a staple for any wardrobe. Whether you're wearing you're jacket with a skater or a pencil skirt to a pair of trousers, keep it leathered! It's right on trend and looks just as sensational.

I love her sense of style and those heart printed loafers look so pretty on her feet - I must find these!

Paloma Faith never fails to impress with her sense of style, and has quite often than not been snapped looking ever so fashionable and quirky. For LFW's Burberry show, Paloma was spotted in this super playful and colourful look, where the green and red palette's came together. I absolutely love her London St Pauls tee, and will always love the classic boyfriend coat draped over the shoulders. Ever tried wearing a bowlers hat with your oversized coat?
