Shorts, shorts, shorts!

Shorts, shorts, shorts!
Summer's definately kicking in. It's been very hot over the last couple of days and the shorts are coming out! I was looking online (again), in my wardrobe & on people and found some really nice shorts. Shorts can go basically with anything. Lace ups, brogues, pumps, UGGS and also go really well with floral print. It just depends on how you wear it. Here are my top six shorts this spring + summer. The shorts below are available in:  Hollister, Topshop, Fatface, H&M, Jack Wills & Warehouse. I don't own any thing from Fatface but I came across the dark denim shorts on Polyvore and I really liked them. Another one of my favourite shorts are the Miss Selfridge Indigo High Waisted Shorts. I was unable to find them on polyvore, but if you look on the Miss Selfridge website you will be able to find them in the Petite's section. When you wear denim shorts that have that ripped look you have to make sure that they don't end up looking too trashy because they can look really classy if you add the right accessories & the right clothes.

Jewellery selection.

Yesterday, I went to Town and bought some cute jewellery which consist of flowers, floral, owl, pearls, daisies & gems. I really wanted to show you some of the things that I bought as this happens to be a "fashion blog", so I set them out in a way which you could see all of it. You may wonder why it's in a bath tub, but I received this for Christmas which included smellies; the base was polyester which makes a good place to pin earrings & rings. Also, please ignore my weird coloured nail varnish too as I'm really not sure why I painted it that bright orange. I think it's because I have a little gold bracelet with an orange gem on that I always wear (as seen in the picture above). The accessories purchased are from very reasonably priced shops (Claires accessories; which have now started to do quite nice jewellery which happen to be quite trendy and vintage like & Primark; which I have also noticed that even the most fashionable & preppy people shop there. They don't always focus on the expensive brands).

In image two it is my hand modelling the five rings purchased the other day. One vintage style owl ring, 3 floral & gem rings on the next finger & then on the thumb it is the floral ring I bought. Please note that it probably shouldn't be worn on the thumb, it's just that it doesn't fit any other finger. Or my thumb, so I had to take the picture quickly before it fell off. My hand also looks rather old and scrawny in image two. But it's not.
2) Here are the five rings purchased, vintage style owl,
flower and gem & floral print.

Cable Knits.

I really like cable knits right now, even though it's fairly close to Summer. But I think cable knits (especially cardigans) can go with any outfit & can be worn in summer without getting too hot. I've been looking online and I have found 3 knit's that have really caught my eye. Theres nothing special about them, but they'll be perfect for the summer by keeping you warm & cool at the same time. The Jack Wills Cottesmore Breton Crew for £69 (Stripey) is available in two colours. The pink and white stripe & navy. Also, two Topshop ones. (One cardigan & one jumper)
