Since outfit posts have kind of had to go out the window for the moment (I'm too preoccupied trying to sort my life out to dress decently) I'll have to bore you with this nonsense... So I'm a little bit besotted with this whole outfit grid thing. I love the instagram @outfitgrid, its all menswear which I'm obsessed with because they have the BEST accessories. But I think the girls oughta play too, so that's what I'm attempting here. Its also a great way to put outfits together, so when the weather turns nice and I'm ready to get out of my sweatpants/slippers/jeans/trainers rotation I shall be wearing both these get ups. 

I also wanted to show you my new neck candy! I'm back on statement necklaces since they are a great way to dress up a boring outfit e.g- tshirts and jeans (my staples!) The ID chain from Ebay, which is the closest to the Celine version can be found by searching 'chunky ID chain' which will bring up tonnes of tasty results to choose from. Mine is actually plastic which I was kinda pissed about when it arrived but it means it won't tarnish.

EVOLVE

Shirt:Carhartt

Yeess yeess camo is still big for the ladies, but for summer choose your prints wisely. If like me, you're in your mid twenties (WHYGODWHY!) and don't fancy looking like a Rihanna-wannabe trendy tween.. then steer clear of the same 'ol tired looking surplus jackets (I'm talking about the ones they piss out in Topshop for three times the price of what they should be) I'm well into this cotton shirt from Carhartt womens SS13, lightweight and perfect for the warmer months I would throw this on over a white singlet or wear buttoned up to the top with some black skinny jeans. If they did this in a short sleeve too I'd be all over it. 

PLAIN AWESOME

Two of my recent treats from the accessories and footwear departments. These Zara sandals are the closest I can find to the Saint Laurent Jane shoes. The majority of my shoes are black ankle boots so I can't wait to wear these proper lady like heels. I finally decided to invest in a pair of designer sunglasses too, RayBan Cats 5000 has always been my favoured style. I suit an aviator shape best but the classic gold/silver frames are a little over played. The Cats 5000 style has more of a masculine look, is more lightweight and I really like the subtle tortoise pattern. 

MEOW

Nothing like a bit of summer outfit gridding. I picked up these leopard print runner shorts for £4 last week during my Primark rampage. I'm really looking forward to summer, and shorts and trainers are my faves. I rarely wear prints/colour but when I do I always keep the rest of my outfit nice and simple.

YOUR NEW FAVOURITE T-SHIRTS

I'M LOVING THESE T-SHIRTS BY STOCKHOLM BASED BRAND BRASHY COUTURE. DURING THE SUMMER I LIVE IN TEES AND I ALWAYS FIND IT DIFFICULT TO FIND COOL ORIGINAL PRINTS, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGH STREET (YOU ALWAYS END UP SEEING LOADS OF OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SAME TEE!) 

ENTER BRASHY. 

THE THING I LOVE ABOUT BRASHY IS THEIR CREATIVITY, WHEN IT COMES TO  SHOWING OFF THE TEES, RATHER THAN GO FOR BORING PRODUCT SHOTS THEY DO THEMED EDITORIAL-ESQUE PHOTOSHOOTS WITH GORGEOUS MODELS IN LOVELY LOCATIONS/SCENARIOS THAT INSPIRE HOW TO WEAR AND CUSTOMISE THE T-SHIRTS. THE MARKET IS SATURATED WITH PRINTED T-SHIRT BRANDS AND THESE GUYS HAVE ALWAYS STOOD OUT TO ME PERSONALLY. I ALWAYS ENJOY LOOKING THROUGH THE NEW PHOTOSHOOTS WHEN THEY POST THEM ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE!
