BRALETS

My new favourite clothing item is the bralet. It's so perfect for summer as it shows off just the right amount of skin when paired with high waisted shorts or a skirt. There are lots of ways you can wear the bralet but the two styles I like the best are the smart and structured bralets and the cute and floral/lacy ones.

SMART AND STRUCTURED

These bralets are perfect for parties paired with a cute skater skirt, a pair of amazing wedges and some simple but bold jewellery.

CUTE AND FLORAL/LACY

This style of bralet will look great paired with some frayed denim shorts and feather jewellery for a day at the beach or park.

ALOHA

Recently I've been obsessing over that hawaiian/tropical print so when I was flicking through TANK magazine and I came across this shoot I immediately fell in love.





I love the styling by Pandora Lennard, and how she has toughened up the prints with punk accessories. The flowers and bright colours contrast perfectly with the hardness of the spikes and mesh. Hawaiian shirts often have negative connotations and I can't help picturing a fat, burnt tourist returning from holiday in an overly bright hawaiian shirt and one of those hats that safari guides wear. But this editorial shows us how to wear these beautiful prints while removing all their association with naff tourists.

Here's some pieces on the high street to get the look...

ANIMAL SWIMWEAR

The Easter Holidays are here and it feels like summer is just around the corner so it's definitely time to start stocking up on swimsuits and bikinis. Right now I'm loving these suits with digital animal prints on them. They look so modern and are really unique.
