What I wore on Saturday night for drinks.

What do you think of this little skirt I bought in Topshops sale last week. I looove it!! And guess what I got it for seven pounds!! What a bargain, couldnt believe my eyes! Its such a versatile little skirt it will see me through the whole year, I will just add tights in cooler weather

and its so easy to dress up or down.

Secret shopper mission: botanicals at Dorothy Perkins

This pretty little fifty's style lemon dress is so delicate and reminiscant of Stella Mccartney's S/S collection. I can imagine sauntering down little back streets in Sorrento licking an ice-cream, with this dress on. Again I would wear this with wedges or keep it casual with ballet flats and a denim jacket or cardigan.

Love this little floral top with peter pan collar and dont you think it looks sweet with these red cropped jeans. Dorothy Perkins has really upped their game lately, I have seen a lot of takes on looks straight off the catwalk.

I would pair this outfit with a pair of tan wedges or for a more casual look, little white tennis shoes.

Current trends: Botanicals

Get this oh so pretty dress at Topshop for a steal at just £36!! Dress it down with a denim jacket and flats or just add heels and a clutch and you have the perfect summer outfit to dance the night away!!! I would add a little gold belt to glam it up even more! And girls if your not sporting a six pack this is perfect for hiding those little wobbly bits!

Holly Fulton

Holly Fulton is a favourite designer of mine at the moment. You can see that she has been influenced heavily by art deco and tribal design. The detail in each of her pieces is extrordinay and the patterns are eye poppingly beautiful. Living works of art and best of all she is Scottish!!! I have included this collection of sets (some my own) to showcase just how stunning her designs are.

Three ways to wear this little black dress.

Style predictor

School girl chic,thats my prediction for the autumn/winter! Get this cute outfit from New Look. The dress is so versatile, wear it on its own or add a little cardigan to really rock the fifty's look. And the shoes will see you through the year and into next year! They look great with skirts, jeans, trousers and dresses. xxx

TopShop top

I love this shirt from top shop, denim is really on trend at the moment. Wear it as a jacket, or with leggings, pair it with a cute little skirt or wear it tied with a maxi skirt or shorts. And what a bargain at only thirty pounds!

Secret Shopper at topshop. Trend: boyfriend/masculine.

Well my first time trying this out. The idea is I pick a selection of clothes from different shops and style them in the changing room and photograph the looks I have put together. Hopefully it will give you an idea of how to style the upcoming seasons trends. Call it a trial run today, was in a bit of a rush, but I was so desperate to get started. This look is from Topshop and is inspired by dsquared2's S/S collection.

Next week I'll have a clearer idea of what I want to achieve.
