Every now and then you gotta' go back in that closet, and pull out that Freakum day Dress

(Ha Ha !!! My mother named this post )

Hello all !! Today was the first day the people of London had seen sunshine + heat throughout the day (without any sudden outbursts of showers or bad weather) for LONGG time ! Today was also about hanging out with my two good friends from my secondary school; what a lovely day to just hang out, enjoy the sun and company, alongside chill ! 

   

Dress- H&M (Hence the title ... I haven't worn this dress in a good TWO YEARS!!! -And it still fits)

Sandals - Primark

 What I love about today's post was how simple it is, I wouldn't call it so 'effortlessly chic' - because this is actually what I like to wear throughout warm+ days; or shorts, tank top (but this year, I might try out some crops) and sandals/espadrilles. Primark sandals are forever ruling my summer closet and their espadrilles too . H&M have also served themselves worthy with their basic and divided range ... I don't own much outside them two, but this year with pastels and florals as one of the top trends, Topshop and New Look are producing some chic stuff to wear during the warm weather and for holiday ... will post some examples soonish ;)

This week seems exciting! The weather forecast is looking boombastic so I can't wait to grab some shots whilst style hunting!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend guys, and I wish you all a prosperous week

Mini Haul -H&M & Topshop

Hey guys, just thought I'd share another purchased post of stuff I've bought recently from two of my favorite high street stores H&M and Topshop

All from H&M
Day dress-7.99
Black maxi dress-12.99
Jeggings -£10 (sale)
Top- 4.99

 These were just a few things I'd had on one of my 'must-have' lists ... another pair of jeggings and a maxi dress. Can't go wrong with the fit of the both of them, and definitely can't go wrong with their prices.

Also, the striped dress is a lovely basic dress for the summer which I still believe will one day come during the Olympics. They come in various colors and are just perfect for your summer holiday wardrobe ... pair with a nice pair of flats or converses and a fine pair of sunshades ... Speaking of the Olympics, I bought this london 2012 top for only £4.99 !!! I'd thought it's a cute top and I am feeling the London 2012 Olympic vibes now lool, except for the London traffic around town -_-

Both from Topshop
Shadow Palm Pencil skirt-£38.00
Denim Skater Skirt-£20

I had my eye on this pencil skirt for some time but felt that my shape and this wouldn't go together .... but after the past few months and a lil toning around the waist and thighs ... I found a size 12 and 14 to try on and the 12 fit! just needs taking in a little. Would wear this with either a plain bralet (that's just me daring lool) or a tucked in top with a sleek pair of stilettos (I was thinking red?! Hmm, I dunno) ... But I really thought that it was a navy print (quiet sad, but still satisfied with the black and white print). Also, here we have this denim skater skirt which I just thought was SOOO cute !!! this just goes with anything for the summer ... you could brighten it up with a colored cropped bandeau and flats, to a picnic with a straw sunhat and sandals and an oversized bag with some super cool shades

Maison Martin Margiela at H&M? Oui Oui Oui !!!

Grab your pitch notice boards my fellow fashionista's !!!

The rumor that Maison Martin Margiela at H&M has been confirmed and the launch of the fall collaboration shall be November 15th.

I can not lie, it is a surprising collaboration, as the historical context of the French fashion brand has cultivated a mythic quality to their brand. And most people will not know of their brand as they never seem to be advertised or aspired to communicate in a mass-market way. As 'MMM' had always remained as an exclusive brand, it shows a lot for it to be teaming with the Swedish brand and they want to raise public awareness to the house,

- big step for the label.

But what is more a 'big' issue is ... will it live up to it's previous successors Versace, Jimmy Choo, Lavin etc ?The french brand is a stunning and dynamic brand, but will it show on a H&M budget? Hmmmm

But ending this post, H&M are bringing out big guns this 2012 with collaborators ... Anna Dell Russo AND Maison Martin Margiela ... What are you most excited for?

Anna Dello Russo for H&M

All lovers of fashion, open your calendars as H&M has another announcement to make !!!

The AdR for H&M collection will be filled with everything that describes or represents the 'over-the-top' maximalist style consisting of jewllery, sunglasses, shoes and bags. 

A preview released by the chain of the collection reveals lashings of gold, accents of turquoise, a snake theme and sunnies not be taken too seriously in. (Did I hear GOLD ?! YAYYY!)

A jewellery/ accessories collection, by a woman who knows ALL about how accessorization being essential to every piece. H&M couldn't of picked anyone BETTER ! From what I'm seeing, this is a collection for any slave of this industry, this is a collection where everybody can have fun turning a normal day into a glorious day ! I'm glad that she is doing it, I can ensure that we won't be seeing any ugly pieces of silver but fantastic pieces beyond imagination ... at good prices (hopefully !!)

What have you got your eye on? Mine is the turqwise clutch and hopefully one of the snake necklace / chokers
