Flower power

Every Sunday, I feel like it's my duty to make the most of a free day and go out somewhere nice; whether it's to eat out, go on a walk, go to the gym or of course, go shopping! This Sunday, Lucy and I went to Moseley private park and it was such a nice morning, we couldn't help but take a few shots by the flowers. It may just be me, but I always love a photo more when there's something bright featured in the background, especially when its flowers. Not only are they stunning on their own, posing in front of them really brings out your outfit and facial features.

Here, Lucy is styling a light pink and cream, satin bomber jacket from Zara. It has a Japanese style bamboo print which I'm obsessed with! Light bomber jackets are massively in at the moment, acting as a classy, summer alternative to the usual quilted bomber. The pale colours massively brighten up the outfit and the golden zip could be matched with gold accessories to co-orindate the fine details. She also wore a beige, knitted, ribbed crop top from Forever 21. The two pale items together make the outfit look more well put together, complimenting each other and looking effortlessly chic. This was then paired with black culottes from Urban Outfitters, adding a smart and stylish cropped leg. Cropped trousers are gracing the pages of all magazines at the moment, and you can't go wrong by buying a pair. Trust me, you will not regret it. They can be worn with practically any shoe; looking casual with trainers and smart with heels. Her black and white vans make this an everyday outfit, suited for pretty much any occasion.




From Zara, I wore a striped round necked crop top. This is in their new spring/ summer range and can be found in various colours, but the best thing about it is it's £3.99! Definitely check them out, because they're so cheap and really good quality material.  I was so impressed with the price,  I bought two. I mean come on, who wouldn't? I then paired this with a blue denim skirt from American Apparel. I love shopping in American Apparel just because the shop always looks so clean and nice, but whatever I try on the sizes never fit. I feel like a lot of their clothes are made for petite people, which being 5'11, I am far from. Although, last year I found this skirt and it just about fits. Denim is a material that gives a casual sense to all outfits, yet can also be glammed up, making items really versatile, which I love.





 How cute are these ducklings?




Recently, I bought these grey/beige Converse and I adore them so much. Converse are a perfect spring/ summer shoe with their huge range of high top and short trainers. I'm, particularly liking the look of their new suede and leather range and when my size is in stock, I'll be straight into Office buying a pair. The classic brand knows exactly what people want and you can rock them at home, out in the day or on a night out.


Spring and summer excite me so much, I want to chuck away all my clothes and start a whole new wardrobe. Everything in the shops is so pretty, I want to buy it all! If only.

How do you like to spend your Sundays? Daisy xx
