Apart from denim shorts jeans are an area I have never got into. I don't like to show of my legs so I opt in for skirts and dresses and opt out for un attractive sausage legs! Another reason being I like dressing up and jeans always make me feel casual unless its a high waisted short on a night out when it's suited. 

Everyone has gone wild for the new high waisted and vintage style jean this year and with Topshop bringing out 'Mom' and 'Joni' they have flown of the shelves and replaced every girls skinny in a denim overhaul this summer. Nothing's worse than a standard skinny jean and crop top so the high waisted jean has made me feel at ease, knowing girls can now wear the high waisted jean and crop top and not make the fashion disaster we all hate. 



 I will be buying a pair of vintage style high waisted jean this summer as they are the most flattering for me with a wider leg and super high waist I feel super confident showing off my best part- my waist. They are so versatile, good to wear all year and to be dressed up or down.

These jeans are arguably my best vintage find yet and I was super excited to shoot them for the blog. Brought from my friend Pam Cheema who owns 'Frock On Vintage' I'm sure she will Agree a jean like this is rare! Shop Frock On here: www.frockonvintage.co.uk


I love the bronze disc coins attached to the front and the aztec panelling down the sides, everything about them make me swoon. They are perfect for the summmer and festival season. Here I wore them how I usually wear them with a bright vintage aztec top and my fringe leather jacket. Finished of with a belt and black chunky cut out boots.

I have always struggled with wearing jeans. It wasn't until I actually started working for Topshop as a Denim Specialist that I even took any note of what was going on in the world of jeans as I had given up trying to find a flattering pair on a student budget but as I learnt what was out there and what worked for me and I have finally discovered why denim will always be a woman's wardrobe staple.

I started off as an avid Leigh fan, then last summer made a dramatic move over to the Jamie jean but when Topshop released their new shapes early this SS I couldn't keep my eyes off this pair of Acid Wash Black Mom jeans. Topshop are renowned for doing skinny jeans (and not much else) so it is nice to see they have jumped on the boyfriend jean bandwagon without making them look too boyish, which I have found with other brands. The high waisted shape keeps that feminine feel and they definitely aren't too baggy! With the Levi 501's/90's trend still going strong, it isn't a surprise these are jeans to be seen in this summer.

As always with a black(ish) jean, they literally go with just about everything making them more an investment than anything. I decided to go for a buttoned up shirt and gold and leather based accessories for a clean and dressed up 90's inspired feel but I cannot wait to get wear these with crop tops/jumpers and vans on more chilled out days when I finally get around to having one!
