Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Absolutely bedazzled by the selection of metallic and iridescent pieces on the Motel Rocks website at the minute. Sculpting and shimmering in spacey textures, clicking the link I felt like I had slipped on an oil slick...flown through space and mined an abundance of precious metals....all at once.

Take a look...and go treat your self to something flashy at motelrocks.com

I'm defo gonna...because if I don't shine....you don't shine.

Match Point.

One of the major players in the trend stakes these past few seasons has been sports luxe. This year, Fashion's love affair with sports wear is far from over, the trend is back and will hopefully be fighting fit right throughout the summer, screaming luxury and effortless elegance.

It is no wonder the sports trend regularly does the rounds. These pieces are flexible, flattering and super comfortable. 

The emphasis was most definitely on the luxe fabrics and clever accessorising of the trend this season. 

Here is how the big designers brought us sports chic this year....

Sleek and minimal a la Lacoste.

Light weight ultra-luxe fabrics from Marc Jacobs.

Solid fabrics and sports silhouettes by Alexander Wang.

Inject sports prowess with Marni.

The key to scoring an ace with this look is to team sports mesh with tennis whites, track pants with heels and to wear basketball shorts and sports jackets in bold patterns and sumptuous fabrics. For extra style points team your slouchy sports pieces with rugby stripe elastic belts, football socks and sun visors.

This year score a look worthy of centre court with the high street. Designer inspired sports pieces can be found at many of the local high street and online stores but I feel the best and coolest variety can be found at River Island, Boohoo and Topshop. 

 Here is my winning Summer 2014 sports luxe outfit. 

All pieces above are from my high street fave, Topshop.x

That 70s Trend

Baby put on heart shaped sunglasses 'cause we're gonna take a ride.....back to the 70s. Get ready for some sexed up style in those sultry saturated colours inspired by the decade that brought us disco.

Be inspired by films such as American Hustle, The Last Days of Disco, Boogie Nights, Xanadu and the forever a classic Saturday Night Fever, when choosing your style staples during late summer this year.

As I was watching the Topman SS15 show it occurred to me that a fash-forward was about to spark off a new summer trend. A fresh 1970s vibe is about to be established. Although vintage or retro pieces may initially spring to mind, those pieces are not the ones to look out for....this trend is going to boogie on down to the high street with a modern and mature twist.

70s styles were subtely suggested on the women's wear runway for this season but weren't a major feature. My prediction is that this trend will come through fast in the late summer and last in to the fall. So get your 70s pieces now ahead of the crowds....your LED dance floor awaits.

Here is some 70s style inspiration from the SS14 runways...

Floaty and floral endless chiffon at Holly Fulton.

A cool colour palette at Jonathan Saunders.

Summer in the 70s at Michael Kors.

A trail of a thousand sequins at Jenny Packham.

When choosing your 70s style pieces for 2014 look for beiges, browns and powder blues in turtle necks, high waists, wide legged trousers and halter necks.

Here is my super stylish pick of the moment. The wide legged paisley trouser from Topshop, £40.00.

The trouser is flattering and fun. And can be worn in several ways. Topshop.com have given us 5 ways to bring your voluminous pants from the past a fresh up date.

Channel Amy Adams in American Hustle and get in the 70s spirit this season with some modern glamour.x

Wibble Wobble Wibble Wobble Jelly on My Feet..

Always a lover of 90's trends....and a childhood throwback, the Jelly shoe trend has stomped right back into fashion this year. On ordering my 3rd pair of the season, I felt it was the perfect time to bring back my blog too.

Super bright and affordable the jelly shoe is fun and functional. I have literally been wearing mine out, with sundresses, denims, with socks, without socks, on city adventures, trips to the beach and even to work. Everywhere I go I am greeted with comments on my plastic shoes. 

Although the 90s version of the shoe initially reminds us of being children and paddling in the ocean, this years jelly has been given many a makeover. 

No longer stuck in the past, the clear PVC shoe also hit the runway this season, teamed with pearl encrusted socks by Simone Rocha. Shoe making royalty, Christian Louboutin has even given us their version of a jelly shoe too. Who would of thought it......the designer jelly shoe.

Here are my faves from the high street and online.

New Look for the classic black, block heel Jelly Shoe.

Boohoo for the flourescent wedge.

Topshop for vintage lime flats.

New Look crystal clear sandals.

Juju Jellies for the modern and timeless peep toe.

There are so many fabulous pairs to choose from and best of all buying 5 pairs (in 5 different styles and colours) won't even break the bank...x
