I was recently contacted by shadestation.co.uk and asked to review a pair of shades from their extensive sunglasses range. With spring hot at our heels I jumped at the opportunity, although it's difficult to wear sunglasses a lot of the time due to my prescription specs, I do plan to wear contact lenses more often this summer so that I can accessorise with shades - oh and shield my eyes from the sun of course.
I chose a pair of
Matt Blue Ray Ban sunglasses - I've always loved the Ray ban style, (who doesn't?), and the matt effect makes them that little bit different.... also blue is my favourite colour! Here I'm wearing them with my favourite beanie hat, which I basically wear every day, a tee from Dahlia and high waisted shorts. I've really been enjoying my grey tights recently.... I get so bored of wearing black tights all of the time so it's nice to have an alternative.

PU LEATHER SHORTS FROM RIVER ISLAND
I bought this jumper last week in H&M's Covent garden store. There were two trails of thought that led to my purchase that day, the first being that this winter I've become obsessed with roll necks; mostly because they're everywhere in
COS, but also because I've realised how warm they keep you! I'd also recently read an interview with Alexa Chung, (dare I say her cliche, overused name), where she states that a Navy jumper is one of her key wardrobe pieces, and it got me thinking that I needed one in my life. Navy is after all one of my favourite colours.
I guess actually, that there was a third contributing factor to this purchase, that being that it was only £14.99, but it doesn't look or feel cheap at all! Bargain!
The skirt featured here is also a new addition to my winter wardrobe - introducing the "Let's Party Skirt" from
Sugarhill Boutique! In a metallic, textured jacquard, this skirt is perfect for the festive season and the black side panels give it a sports luxe twist, which I love. It's also a flattering a-line shape, very sixties, which holds due to the stiff fabric, so is great if you don't like clingy material! I may wear something like this on Christmas day - a bit of metallic or sparkle but still comfy! Have you planned your Christmas day outfit yet?
