Trend Tuesday- Lingerie Inspiration

Underwear as outerwear is becoming really common and I have to say I love it! It adds a bit of sexiness to any outfit and makes the wearer look pretty fashionable which is never a bad thing ;). It's quite reminiscent of early Madonna but depending on your take can also give a vintage or Wang feel to a look. My main love for this is bralets/ brassieres but lace and those tights with suspenders on are also ah-maazing. Obviously Gaga kickstarted this trend with her OTT outfits but they have grown up quite a lot since then.

Susie Lau does the whole suspenders look very well here, but tbh that is a bit obvious considering how well she works every other trend. I also lovelovelove Frida's new nude bralet from H&M and am extremely jealous of all the ways she can think of to wear it.

My favourite pieces from this trend are mainly bralets with a couple of other pieces thrown in for good measure:
Topshop

Trend Tuesday- Utilitarian

I adooorrree this trend at the moment, trenches, parkas, khaki, neutrals, jumpsuits, who could resist?! The looseness of this trend makes it easy to wear with skinnies, leggings, dresses or skirts to dress down an outfit. An even better thing is that most of the pieces are classics or can be reworked and they get better with age so if you spend quite a bit on a timeless piece now it actually WILL last you for yeaaars (I know this is a fashion cliche but for this trend I truly believe it)

Okay so the ten pieces I choose for this trend are..
Jeans- Miss Selfridge

Trench- UO

Playsuit- Topshop

Shorts- Topshop

Worker's boots- Topshop

Jacket- UO

Jacket number 2- UO

Shorts number 2- UO

Jacket number 3- UO

Playsuit number 2- UO

yeah I know there are variations on the same thing and only a few shops but I couldn't choose which to put up and I love these shops soo much it's insane.

Wishlist Wednesday- Topshop

Ok so this is how it's gonna go down, I'm going to focus on ONE shop and pick out my top 10 outfits, order them and (depending on how much work/revision i SHOULD be doing) an explain.. today it's TOPSHOP's turn...

These shorts are an easy way to access the utilitarian look that's everywhere at the moment and they would make an oufit look effortless and I think that if it doesn't look effortless, it doesn't look right.


A girl can never have too many dresses-they're like diamonds, a girl's best friend- and this one has great zip detailing which toughens it up just the right amount.



Bralets or whatever you feel like calling them (it's been a topic of serious debate between me and my friends) are a way of sexing up a tee or look great under sheer blouses.



This floral playsuit will just be perfect for summer and the length is really good- not too short (I've tried it on a couple of times, I admit it...)
This checked skirt just reminds me of early Vivienne Westwood and there can never ever ever be anything wrong with that.
