OOTD: Pineapple Style

Hello! Today it's time for a bright and summery look - I wore this outfit to the Access All Asos Epic Summer party and got plenty of compliments. So now it's time to see what you think of it:

Playsuit: Rare London* Sandals: Primark. Socks: Primark. Necklace: New Look. Earrings: Culture Vulture. Sunglasses: Primark

When I was treated to a sneak peek of Rare London's SS14 press day a few months ago, this playsuit stood out to me as my favourite. Therefore I was so excited that Rare London remembered my comment and asked me to style it. I adore the print - pineapples are everywhere this summer and I love it. My obsession is getting out of control - remember that pineapple skirt I recently posted about from Primark? - and I'm certainly not the only one in the blogging world! Ghostparties has shared her love for the pineapple trend and Temporary Secretary also put together a great pineapple themed wishlist, as well as styling this very playsuit (let's not compare, she looks amazing!)

I styled my playsuit with my new 'blogger' style sandals. They were a complete bargain from Primark and amazingly comfortable to walk around London in. I'm quite enjoying the 'ugly sandals' trend, but it's difficult to get the right balance between fashionable and just downright hideous. Hopefully these are the right side of fashionable, and I couldn't resist the addition of a pair of matching frilly socks.

The playsuit itself fits really well. It's made of a slightly thicker fabric than you might expect from a summer piece, but it means that it feels much sturdier to wear. The print is fantastic, and although it's brighter in real life than the pictures convey, it's still a versatile piece for Autumn to wear with black tights and boots. All in all, it's such a fun outfit to wear and that's really what's it's all about! After all, who can say no to pineapples?

Are you embracing the pineapple trend? How are you styling it?

Asos Epic Summer Party

As part of the Access All Asos scheme, I was very happy to be invited to the Asos #EpicSummer party in London. As ever, it was an amazing night full of fantastic bloggers and wonderful food:

There was a great buzz as the event filled up with bloggers from all across the country. There were a great selection of summery stalls, including Pimms and Brothers' cider. I got the chance to try the Cloudy Lemon cider and it was tasty and refreshing - and rather dangerously just tasted of Lemonade! When it came to food, we were treated to hot dogs and ice cream - perfect for Summer!

The most exciting stall at the event for me was the wonderful floral headbands created by The Flower Appreciation Society. I nervously approached the flower stand and was excited to discover that we could choose some flowers, which were expertly combined into a hairband on the spot! I chose a variety of yellows to compliment my outfit, which you can see in my next post. It was wonderful to see all the bloggers wearing some fantastic florals, and the fact that none were the same really demonstrated the skill of The Flower Appreciation Society. It's just a shame that the fresh flowers inevitably only lasted a day!

I also was one of the few bloggers lucky enough to get my nails painted with some Ciate nail varnish by Reecey Roos. I opted for bright pink with one yellow nail to match my headband - as you know, I love my co-ordination! I've finally stopped biting my nails and as a result I'm enjoying experimenting with nail varnish and a huge variety of different colours. Now I need to decide what colour to wear for graduation next week!

Were you at the Asos event? What are you loving from their summer picks?

OOTD: Skort Story

Today I'm sharing another outfit post with you all! I've recently become obsessed with skorts and found the perfect pair in New Look:

Skorts: New Look. Jumper: Asos. Boots: Asos. Necklace: New Look. Earrings: Culture Vulture. Floral headband: Crown and Glory

I'm very late to join the skorts bandwagon, but I now really love them. The cut really is very flattering on my legs, giving the appearance of a longer length thanks to the fold-over style. New Look has a brilliant selection of different colours and prints, which fit really well. I chose this floral pattern, busy with bright blues and pinks. It looks great both with bare legs and black tights and I love the high waisted style. 

Today I teemed them with a cropped jumper from Asos and my favourite statement necklace from New Look. It was also an opportunity to wear one of my floral crowns from Crown and Glory. I've been obsessed with this brand for a long time, but I've never quite taken the plunge and purchased anything. However, I then discovered the option for a 'Mystery Box,' guaranteeing £50 worth of items for just £20. After reading Be A Goddess' review of how happy she was with her box, I couldn't resist and also opted for the floral theme - of course! I love this Aubergine Not a Lotta Rosie Headband which was included in my box, and it was the perfect way to finish off my outfit.

Have you been converted to skorts yet? I'd love to see your looks!
