Trending: White Accessories

The last in the three part series on the glories of all that is white; and arguably the best has arrived last with a whole feast of accessories ready to be devoured!

Whether you're planning to indulge in the monochrome trend, the floral trend or the pastels this Spring a white accessory will serve you well. 

If you're not quite ready to commit to the white bowler bag or the white shoes then a small accessory is the way to go. Not only the cheaper and less risky option (snow=sludge=blemished white, argh!!) but these options are also the easiest way of adding something fresh into your outfit; think block colours, clean cut and a large move away from the dullness of A/W!

So, take a look at what the high street is offering us...

New Brand: "Crown and Glory"

"floral bobby pin sets, whimsical floral crowns, on-trend turbans, wedding worthy fascinators and beyond!"

 "Whimsical" is definitely the most fitting way to describe Crown and Glory creations. Adorning the prettiest of heads since 2010 it's obvious to anyone why the brand has produced multiple must-have accessories.

From giant bows and turbans to full bouquets: almost any style of decorative headgear you can imagine is available to order and can be on your head as soon as. And the best thing? Each item is handmade to order so you know for sure no-one will be walking down your road with the exact same item- very, very similar but not the same!

The brand has featured extensively in Company magazine and Grazia, and the accessories are instantly recognisable on many a blogger website such as the ever-popular LLYMLRS and Zoella. 

Perfect for the upcoming Spring months when floral trends are inevitable, and already seeping into our high streets via New Look and Warehouse, a purchase from Crown and Glory will be one you won't regret.

Products start from a mere £4 depending how much decoration your cranum can take! And, with the current sale you could snap up the ultimate bargain if you move quickly.

Don't take my word for it though:
Visit Crown and Glory here and see what wonders they have to offer!

[Just to clarify: with the "New Brand/New Blogger" posts the term "New" is used in reference to my recent knowledge of them, not whether or not they are new in their business]

My Closet: Monochrome Fur Coat

Price: £55.00

Availability: River Island

I simply could not resist this jacket when I saw it in River Island this week. 

It was originally available a month or so before Christmas, but I think it was took off sale because it wasn't going to be discounted in the January Sales. 

So, shopping this week minding my own business and it pops out at me again!

 I have this terrible habit where I spend vouchers and gift cards like they aren't actually money, so... this is how this purchase arrived in my hands (thanks Auntie Debbie for the gift cards!)

I must admit it isn't the most sensible purchase because fur is usually kept for the Winter months, BUT in my defence monochrome is huge this upcoming season and it's still really cold!

It may have been one of my crazier purchases (my Dad says I resemble an Essex girl in it!) but it's just so cute, don't you think?!

Insert: Topshop 'Mom Jeans'

The model for Topshop most definitely wears them better than I do, but in the interests of fashion (and comfort...mostly comfort) I've been rocking the 'mom' jeans since early November. And, although their guest appearence on this blog was deleted shortly after it was announced, I thought I'd bring them back in this little insert as Topshop have announced their formal Spring Preview and their version of my Levi's are soon to go down a storm I'm sure...

Cute, comfortable, versatile and they make your bum look amazing (don't take notice of these terrible photo's!)...so, what's not to love?!

If you are interested in this Spring trend then Topshop's version of the 501's are available in stores and online here 

My Closet: Tommy Hilfiger Dress

When I opened this dress on Christmas Day I fell in love again! I say "again" because I'd forgotten that I had actually chosen it months ago during one of my families shopping trips to London. 

It was bought from a vintage stall in Camden Market for only £15, and I think that's one of the reasons I love it. I know some vintage shops nowadays can be ridiculously expensive, so I tend to avoid them, but markets like Camden and charity shops make me excited about vintage again. This is what vintage is all about: awkward sizing, making it work for yourself, and saving £££'s!

I teamed it with my new bomber jacket (post here) for a boyish look, and have been wearing it all over town since!
