New Look Pretty Pastel Patterns

Went shopping yesterday and popped into New Look. I have quite a love/hate relationship with the shop. Sometimes i'll go in and love loads of clothes and other times i leave dissatisfied. This visit i was pleasantly surprised by what they had. Here's a few pretty spring/summer pieces that i liked:



1. I love this Candy Geo Skater Dress, £22.99. With geometric shapes and bright colours it's perfect for summer. You can wear it with a pair of flat shoes during the day then jazz it up for night with some killer heels and bright lipstick.

2. I am a such a fan of playsuits and this Ditsy Print Peter Pan Collar Playsuit, £22.99 is no exception. The peter pan collar paired with the dainty floral pattern makes for a cute daytime outfit.

3. I can't live without jeans and these Coloured Skinny Jeans, £16.99 are great for those chilly spring days. They come in a variety of pastel shades so you can be covered up yet colourful and are a great choice for those of us who aren't a fans of wearing lots of colour.

4. This Rose Print Chiffon Maxi Skirt £24.99 looks a bit grannyish in the picture but in real life the material is gorgeous. It's flowy texture and floral pattern is fab for summer and for those who want to wear a skirt but also cover their legs.

5. Bird prints were all over the spring/summer 2012 catwalks so this Floral Bird Print Tie Front Top £12.99 is great for trend lovers. It'd look great paired with some denim shorts.

6. Belts are a great way of incorporated splashes of different colours and patterns and can add an extra dimension to an outfit. This Floral Print Belt would look lovely on a pair of denims and for £4.99 you can't really go wrong!

7. Jewellery is another great way to add colour. Sometimes i shy away from colour so bangles like these Bright Floral Print Bangle Set, £6.99 adds a splash of colour to any outfit.

Spring/Summer Statement Shoes

Recently i've become completely obssesed with shoes. Here are some of my faves from the Spring/Summer 2012 catwalks.

Smoking hot Prada stilettos.


Shattered mirror at Rocha.


Sophisticated sparkle at Gorgio Armani Prive.


Completely impractical but i do love these McQueens.


Mirror soles at YSL.


Thick heels and solid colours at Celine.


Tattoo inspired shoes at Jean Paul Gaultier.


Animal print and geometric shapes ruled Balenciaga's catwalk.


Cavalli's carved creations.


Strappy, solid, shiny shoes at Bottega Veneta.


Rodarte metallics.


Most shoes were strappy with solid colours, geometric shapes and shiny materials. I think my favourite is a tie between the Prada stilettos and those amazing Cavalli's. What one's caught your eye?
