Maxi

In anticipation for London Fashion Weekend on Friday (for those of us who dont get invites to London Fashion Week..) and after much internal debate about that joke I call budgeting, I ordered a blue chiffon maxi skirt from American Apparel! Now admittedly, maxi skirts arent everyones cup of tea but they are absolutely everywhere this season, and if Im honest I've always had a bit of a thing for them- they are so feminine! I order to justify the buy, seeing as the order has been made I have a few working days before the skirt actually arrives to decide what to wear with it so as usual, I turned to the perfect dreamy thing that we know as a Catwalk.

My skirt in all its sheer and princessy glory.
I love the way it is being worn in this picture but alas I am not in the possession of a top like this so the search continues.



1. Givenchy 2. Dolche and Gabbana 3. Chloe
My personal favourite is probably the Givenchy as always for my weakness for masculine and feminine combinations.
I'm thinking of mixing the sheer maxi trend with the block colour clash trend so that I can wear it with my beautiful coral espadrilles and matching coral lipstick from Bobbi Brown.... Another trend im loving at the moment is bangles! On occasion, yes they jangle around a bit too much but they are defiantly worth investing in as they keep coming back on trend! One of the bangles shown on the picture below was hand made of bone in Barbados! I love the combination of different texture ( its not metal) and the fact it has a history- it wasn't just factory produced. I dont know about you but I think it makes every time you wear it just that little bit more special!

Tomorrow, my 13 year old cousin Ellie is coming to stay for a few days as it is half term so looking forward to it!
