Amy's Week In Style

Well what an exciting and jazzy week! (and I am not just talking about the wild prints I am lusting after) We've seen the nation come together with pride and joy over the arrival of our future king so I guess the time has come for me to announce that I, like Kate Middleton (just probably not as glamourously) will be having a baby in 2013 :) The blog will continue as normal other than the fact I will just get bigger each week! If anything style wise has changed, it is only that I have developed a dangerous taste for items I couldn't have afforded even before my life changing news - mainly a new obsession with everything Topshop Boutique! Of course I have to think differently as to how I dress, but I'm still young, still very fashion conscious and will always stay true to my own style but am looking forward to this new wardrobe challenge! 

Topshop Liquorice Allsorts Sweatshirt and Leggings

Last Autumn, I went through quite a battle with ebay bidding wars to win a knitted liquorice allsorts jumper and it is most definitely my favourite in a 50 strong collection. I also own the Love Hearts crop tee and legging co ord so it makes perfect sense that I am naturally drawn to this wonderful set

Topshop Tapestry Hold All 

Me and Naomi are lucky enough to be off to Kendall Calling Festival with the lovely people at boohoo.com this weekend and this bag would be perfect for our trip

Topshop Boutique Silk Floral Dress

You may have seen this stunning print in Naomi's Week In Style and quite rightly neither of us can get enough! In this classic Topshop Boutique style dress (also in black and burgundy, also adore) this dress is the perfect statement on its own on a hot summers day but I cannot wait to start layering this in the colder months. 

Minkpink Urban Outfitters Roses and Polka Dot Jumper

You may also have seen this jumper in our review of MinkPinks AW13 collection but I cannot stop thinking about this jumper. We met in the window of UO at Marble Arch and it was definitely love at first sight. Each Autumn that comes around sees my knitwear addiction get worse and worse and seeing as its July and 30oC and all I want is this jumper, I have reason to believe it's started again.

Topshop Gothic Floral Print Dress

This beautiful dress is exactly the same shape as the pink leopard print one from last week and I am glad I've held out as this print is a lot more me. Again, it's the perfect balance between summer and Autumn with all the collar and layering potential I enjoy from a statement dress. This has gone straight to the top of the wishlist! 

Def Leopard - Naomi

Vintage Leopard Beyond Retro Body, Mink Pink Shorts, Topshop Fringe Kimono, Topshop Black Sandal, Primark Black Rucksack, Forever 21 Hat, Zara Jewellery

I love a bit of leopard print just as much as Kat Slater (just kidding!) but I do love it in small doses or in vintage/mixed up prints! Animal prints usually stick around every A/W in one way or another and this year leopard print and pony skin are the animals to take inspiration from!

Nothing beats wrapping up in fur and knitwear and the luxurious layers but at the moment with the temperatures in the high 20s everyday, high summer is still in full swing. I wear alot of bohemian influenced prints and textures and dressing for summer is where you can really experiment with those summery and bright patterns!

Double leopard print on paper shouldn't work but nothing stopped me trying! The leotard is one of my favourites from Beyond Retro and looks amazing with denim shorts and boots. The shorts I have wanted for ages and are Mink Pink from Urban Outfitters- I LOVE the print and fit of them as they are super high waisted and look great with a crop. I love the clashing prints together and the different textures which give the look depth and interest. I wore my fringe kimono over it for a bohemian esq look and perfect for a hot day where I don't need a jacket. Of course accessorised heavily and with a statement bit of bling. The tiger necklace is one of my all time favourites from Zara and the little turquiose one is New Look. I wore my wide brim hat which always finishes of an outfit. I need to stop wearing hats- obsessed much?! Sandals and bare legs for a hot day and sweaty hour of shooting for me and Amy! Finally finished of with my favourite gold round sunnies and black rucksack. 

This outfit was so natural for me to pull for the blog and one I felt super confident in. After all this is my area of expertise.. Busy and printed!

How will you be wearing leopard print next season.... Will it bring out the wild side in your style?

Pyramid Song - Naomi

Mink Pink Fringe Velvet Top, Vintage Elephant Skirt, Choies Cut Out Boots, Primark Crochet Bag & Floppy Hat, H&M Sunglasses, Ebay Gold Bindi, Topshop Purple Lipstick

Glastonbury starts tomorrow and we are green with festival envy because we are not going! 

For me Glastonbury when I went was an excuse to wear anything I wanted and loved no matter how OTT and fit right in! Festival fashion has been massive this summer and we have already covered it in various recent posts but we feel like Glastonbury needs addressing in true royal style... After all it's the queen of all festivals!

After Coachella and Topshop SS launching a special Festival collection I felt this years festival style is more dressed up, embellished, washed out and tonal with all white dressing playing a big part. It's all about buying into those statement festival pieces; the fringe kimono, washed ripped denim, feather headdresses and embellishment. With ethnic influence always playing a huge part in festival attire I always look to Vanessa Hudgens and Kate Bosworth for true festival style. 

My look is tonal, embellished and all in the details. I stuck to a black, gold, cream and brown colour palette and felt the look was a bit more dressed up and grown up which I think is perfect for the season and for Glastonbury. 

Let's talk details... The skirt I found on ASOS Marketplace and have I been looking for this kind of ethnic elephant print after seeing it at Coachella. Good old vintage finds always pull through and mean there is no chance of anyone having the same. I love that it's a maxi skirt as it's so easy to throw on and wear at festivals! Mink Pink have brought out a dress in a similar print recently If you enjoy!

The top was a present and a very good one- fringing, beading and velvet all together what more can I ask for. The accessories brought everything together I chose a long fringed crochet bag which I still cant get over it being £6! It's a perfect festival bag and adds texture and interest to your festival look. My big floppy hat made a statement whilst still being subtle and tonal. I always love it with round sunnies! I wore my elephant earrings which I thought add a little interest behind my hair and match the skirt perfectly. I always love to wear ethnic head accessories and bindis at festivals so ran with the gold theme!

Whatever your style- the festival season is the way to show it off! Especially when this year things like OTT floral crowns, feather headdresses and Topshop angel wings came into play! Are you heading to Glastonbury this week? If so what's packed in your rucksack?

Please pack me and Amy! x
