Thrift inspiration, Doing it Sequins Style!!

Sequins are a hot look again this summer-check out these gorgeous pieces available at Net-A-Porter which will definitely have you glittering and adding some sparkle to your outfits:

Adam sequin tank, £348

Yves Saint Laurent sequin jumpsuit, £2455

I bagged this vintage sequin waistcoat last summer at the boot sale for just £1. Its a great piece that I wear dressed down with jeans during the day.

Will you be in sequins this summer?

Tribal trend and Ikat prints

The Tribal trend and particularly Ikat prints are very much in trend this summer-its a fabulous style print that works so well on blouses, skirts and dresses

I scored a gorgeous French Connection Ikat print tunic blouse recently, a great way of getting into the trend and a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down.

I've paired the top with my denim jeggings, my Moroccan belt for a more Tribal feel and my tan Gladiatior style shoes by Clarks

Will you be channeling Ikat prints and Tribal this summer?

Denim shorts

Our weather has been absolutely hot, hot, hot this weekend, so on Saturday I decided to customise my Levi's low slouch jeans into shorter denim shorts. I was pleased to read in the Times that Shane Watson, who is in her 40's, thinks that shorts for older women is definitely a goer.

Zara shorts, £29

I've been wearing my cut offs all weekend-they're perfect for the weather at the moment and they are very comfy for just chilling out

Will you be customising any denim for this summer?

Online Shopping

Last year, Uniqlo produced some tops by the legendary artist Jean Michel Basquiat. The ones I have from last year you can see here.

So, I was pleased to see Uniqlos new range this year, so I quickly snapped these two up.

These are a welcome addition to my wardrobe-limited edition and you can never have too many tee shirts!! I decided to wear the beige one with my new denim 'jeggings' from the market:

I really recommend Uniqlos tess, they wash and wear well and the designs are really unique, as well as very reasonably priced.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
