Knee high, Knee low

Finding a skirt that is an appropriate day time length is a lucky gem. I hate having to yank a skirt down as it rides up with every step i take, to reveal my cheeks, and i don’t mean the ones on my face. So thank god hemlines are going down this A/W. And thank god for H&M for giving me my lucky gem.

I had in mind a soft comfortable silhouette highlighting my waist.

The knotted belt is one accessory trick that baffles me. No matter how much I attempt it i fail miserably every time. So i am cheating...shhh. This one is from H&M and comes ready made. The knotted belt adds the masculine touch that i crave so much, and is key to this causal but elegant trend.

Simple shapes

Clean and simple are the first words that come to mind with COS clothing.

I love this effortless, non-fuss look. It is the sort of style you can wear anytime and take anywhere....it is the perfect date.

I have never purchased anything from COS, and on my London budget it seems pretty unlikely. But I can dream.  COS is pretty affordable at about £45 for a perfect shirt but it's still out of my price range. Although this grey jersey top is only £25. BARGAIN!

Utility Simplicity

I am all over the utility trend this summer like Gok Wan on accessories.

The only reason I like it is because I'm lazy. I like what I wear to not require much thought in between pulling it out of the wardrobe and putting it on my body.

As much as i love looking at colourful clothes I am beginning to think i have a fear of colour on my own body. With it's neutral colour palette, utility is easy peasy and doesn't make me break out in a sweat.

The utility trend has offered me beautifully cut clothes and given me the most perfect pair of pants, which i am officially living out of for the rest of the summer.
