I personally love the pineapple print items and may have fallen in love with the sweatshirt, yes it is for a guy but that doesn't matter! The fashion world has gone citrus crazy with the variety of lemon prints around as well at the moment.

This trend seems to also be branching out into the accessories too have a look at these goodies . . .

The funky earrings are pretty awesome and an easy way to add a little bit of fruity fashion into your outfits. I have a soft spot for the banana bag from H&M too I may need to purchase this as my summer yellow bag. The sunglasses are also cool they are made by a girl on Etsy check them out by clicking here.

Are you feeling fruity?

Met Ball 2014

Ok yes I know I am a little late with this post but I have been away. My family and I went to Drayton Manor and I had to play my role as the cool cousin and look after two little ones so apologies for not posting over the last week.

Anyway on to the main story the Met Ball 2014, this night was to celebrate the opening of is exhibition dedicated to the couturier Charles James so of course there were some stunning gowns in sight! I couldn't even pick just three!!!  So without further ado here are all my favourite looks of the night . . .

Starting with the pink ladies! I absolutely loved Reese Witherspoon's dress by Stella McCartney a very elegant, glamorous and sexy look. The wonderful Elle Woods from the beloved film legally blonde has grown up! Next we have the wonderful Claire Danes in a dress straight off Oscar de la Renta runway. I love the look of the velvet bodice against the voluminous plush skirt. Finally the lovely Emma Stone in a custom made Thakoon skirt and top. She looked fresh, elegant and very glamorous.

Next on to the darker crew and starting with Zooey Deschanel in a bespoke Tommy Hilfiger gown. This quirky indie queen was transformed into a princess for the night, she looked absolutely incredible I'm thinking she even looks Disney princess good, Disney its about time for another brunette princess I think! Next onto Georgia May Jagger who just oozed sex appeal, she looked sensational in this dress by David Koma, showing a little skin but not as much as some others she looked amazing. Next onto the feminine and flirty Dior dress that Marion Cotillard wore, I love the colour and tone of this midnight blue dress. The length is also perfect for this design as any longer would have ruined it. I love the pattern and texture with makes this dress appear almost scale like, she definitely is a creature to behold.

Now this lady has made it onto some worst dressed lists but I love Chloe Sevigny in this Kenzo dress. The colour complements her skin tone and hair and the black elements of this dress really makes the pattern pop out at you. She looks awesome and I think she rocks this dress! Now to the wonderful Dita Von Teese in this sophisticated Zac Posen gown, this dress just looks like it was made for her body, it seems to fit her like  glove. The incredible design of this gown and colour is the reason that it is my favourite of the evening. Finally onto Blake Lively in this Gucci gown, now this lady is on every bodies best dressed list it seems and I think you can see why. Again another incredible dress and look, helped that on her arm was her husband Ryan Reynolds too.

An incredible evening of fashion, of course there are some other amazing outfits and gowns from that night but these were my top picks I hope you liked them as much as me.

What was your favourite outfit of the night?

Wedding Edit

So what do you wear to your boyfriends ex's wedding?? Now dressing for this could be awkward, definitely don't arrive wearing a white or cream dress, not cool! So this is a problem I have this weekend, and of course I forgot about it and have left it to last minute to figure out what to wear.

So what do you wear?? Now that's a question . . .

Here are a few looks I've come up with.

So there of course are a lot of great dresses for weddings around at the moment but these are my four favourites. Starting with this pink number from Miss Selfridge, now I'm not a pink girl but this dress is certainly something special! Designed in a colour block style with only a black detail at the centre to tone down the overall pink look. Moving onto this more casual dress from Warehouse is lovely too. Made from stretch jersey this dress will cling to your curves in all the right places and with extra definition given from the tucks at the waist. The print is also classy and not too in your face for an all over print. Next we have another from Warehouse, I really love this multi tribal zip zag dress. Made from cotton this lightweight dress is perfect for a summer wedding so you can stay cool and calm throughout the day. Lastly we have this lace dress from Next, I just love the interesting way they have mixed the different lace fabrics and have created an edgy and modern LBD. Striking, elegant and classy this dress is perfect for a wedding.

I think I will go for a red lace dress, and pair it with black tights and a velvet jacket if its cool or nude tights and a thin cardigan if its a lovely day. I will instagram the outfit I actually wear so you can tell me if I chose right.

What would you wear to your partners ex's wedding?
