1. Dorothy Perkins / 2. Next / 3.River Island

I was expecting to see a lot of playsuits. However from what I can remember and from what I can find on their website, there wasn’t that many to choose from. The first playsuit reminds me a little bit of a pair of PJS, but the colour is pretty and so fresh, so for that reason I really like it. The second playsuit is a really nice cut. It doesn’t have typically s/s colours which I like, but it’s still got a floral pattern. The black belt breaks up the solid pattern nicely. You can’t go wrong with polka dot, and adding some colour makes it a lot less intrusive. The great thing about polka dots like this, any colour would go with it.



1. Dorothy Perkins / 2. H&M / 3. River Island

I had a lot of difficulty choosing my favourite trousers, a lot of high streets seemed to be big on them this season and you really can’t blame them. They always look so classy and can easily be dressed up and down. The first outfit is my favourite from the show. The colours just scream s/s and the cut on the trousers is beautiful giving a 70s vibe without being over the top. I don’t think I would actually wear the second outfit, it would look awful on me. But the colours are perfect, they clash but it’s for all the right reasons, totally loving the lace bow detail on the blazer. If I could pull off the trousers in the last look I’d be on my way to River Island now. They take on the MIU MIU print so well and look really comfy! Again you could team it with any colour, but white does look amazing.



1. Warehouse / 2. Next / 3. New Look

If you’d followed my blog for a while you’ll know I’m a massive shorts fan and I was happy to see a range of different cuts/colours from the show. The colours in the first outfit are amazing; i would never have thought to mix the colours like this but surprising it actually works so well. I would love to own a pair of leather shorts, even though I know they won’t suit me! I do have a pair of black one that could easily replace and team with that beautiful mustard colour top, electric blue would look great too! I love the classic colours in the second outfit. You can never go wrong with a shirt and grey shorts, giving you the option to add a splash of colour. I’m not a massive fan of the shirt in the last outfit, personally I wouldn’t have teamed it with those shorts, separately they are lovely. But I chose it because of the shorts colour and the bright yellow bag. It’s perfect for those sunny days which will hopefully be arriving soon!



1. Mango / 2. New Look / 3. M&s

As soon as the first dress came out I instantly fell in love, the colour is amazing, the print isn’t over the top and the cut is beautiful. It really is my perfect dress. I really like how the belt gives it more shape and it looks to be very flattering on all sizes. I’m not a massive pink fan, I don’t actually own anything pink. But for some reason I actually really like the second dress, maybe it’s the orange that makes the dress stand out. I’m all for clashing, and for two colours which should repel, I think they work perfectly. The last dress I’m a bit undecided about, I can’t decide if I like it or not. I think the colours are pretty, and the shape is quite nice, but I don’t know if it’s something I would personally wear. I think it makes the model look a bit washed out and that kinda puts me off a little bit.




1. M&S / 2. H&M / 3. Warehouse

I wasn’t sure about the first outfit, I don’t like a lot of fuss in my garments but I actually really like the different layers in skirt I think it looks really nice with a simple plain shirt. If there was any detail on the shirt I think it would make the outfit look a bit over the top. I’ve chosen the second outfit purely for the colours, I think it shows a typical H&M style which can easily be mixed and matched. I’m not really sure it would look good in person, but on the catwalk it looks perfect. I’ve gone for a classic black outfit in the last pick. It’s not very s/s apart from the hat, but every girl needs a simple black outfit in her wardrobe. I don’t actually own anything animal print but I really like the skirt and it’s a nice dark colour which could be jazzed up a bit with a bright cardigan. That leather tee is amazing, and makes me want to run to Warehouse and pick on up straight away!

I hope you like my picks and are inspired for S/S!

  15. I agree with Ayden, it's weird but good seeing all of you in one photo. You all look lovely!

    I'm not very interested in lfw but I like to know how catkwalk pieces will translate in to my wardrobe so something like the Look show is more my thing. I think lots of bloggers should organise their own show for lfw showcasing what they think British Style means and what they think the hot trends will be next season. I pick up more knowledge and ispiration from the high street and bloggers than designers and magazines

  17. I love this post, I am with you on the shorts you can't go wrong plus there are so many different style and patterns and prints and textures !! Skirts are sooo over haha I joke I do love a skirt but I think 2011 is more about the shorts. I really loved the monsoon/ river island/ new look/ and H&M were my fave. I'm a sucker for colour. I may have to try the playsuits, think seeing that first one has made me less scared of them. I really love this post, will have to come back to it again me thinks. Haha how epic are those photos and the fact you lot and my hand (major lolz) are on the main page of Look !!! These are lovely and your rocking that quiff !!!
    Loves it ...sorry for the uber long comment haha forget it's not facebook haha xx
