Nipples!!

Okay so I came across these bikinis when I was doing some research into social movements to do with feminism for University. I think trying to get complete equality of men and women is great, but I’m not a massive follower of it, and not exactly going to stand and join the rallies with a picket, but each to their own. I like to think I make a difference by standing up for us gals whenever someone tries to put us down! I am such a bold, strong personality, I work in an office with 10 guys, and I’d love to see one of them dare to say anything against women, lol, to be fair they are all really nice and I don’t think they ever would!  Anyway I’m drifting away from the point of the post…

So these bikini tops…What do you think? Shocking…Too Daring…Fabulous?!

I tend to only get the chance to wear a bikini when I'm on holiday; the weather isn't particularly great in the UK so holiday is when I get to flaunt what I’ve got!! Personally I despise getting tan lines, and I sunbathe topless, much to my friend’s embarrassment when we go on a girl’s holiday (well if they don't like it, they don't have to look!!) My family have never bothered about it, and my other half sure as hell didn't have a bad word to say when we went away ;) I would love to holiday near a nudist beach, it is definitely on my bucket list to go completely nude sunbathing!!

I personally love the idea of these bikinis for those that don’t want to brave it bare. It’s such a bold statement to make; I can understand why they came up with the design! Why should nipples be so obscene to get out, men have theirs out no problem as soon as it warms up! There really shouldn't be an issue with women’s nipples, I love the feeling of wearing no bra, I shouldn't have to worry what people are going to think if it gets a tad chilly and the girls want to say hello! ;)

So let’s hear your opinion….Yay or Nay??? Take the survey at the top of the page!

I love them!!

T is for Trends...

T is for Trends…Okay so we are in the spring over here in the UK but summer is fast approaching and so are the new trends! A large focus for this summer is the world cup, its being held in Brazil and I was praying for a strong fashion influence from this as the colours are so bold and bright and fashion in Brazil is just amazing to follow! So personally I will be shopping some Brights that I think will lead on from spring’s pastel colours as a base.

Another trend I will be following will be the ‘word up’ trend. This is a focus of making a statement with a phrase or image on your clothes, I think you need to be careful with this trend to not overdo it, the catwalks sent out pieces that most wouldn't dream about wearing so calm it down and make a subtle statement for off the catwalk. A trend I think fits in quite well with the ‘word up’ trend is one I started wearing at the start of the year, ‘the sporting life’ this took storm on the runways and has been a popular sight in stores, it has also taken over my wardrobe. It’s a comfy style with trainers and pumps or plain simple heels, with jerseys, crops, and sports tops, paired with pleated skirts, shorts and that material that makes a funny noise when it rubs together!! ;) I love this style; I'm now a sneaker obsessed girl with too many baggy jerseys!

And finally get your tan on because white is hitting your wardrobes! I love this colour as it has got so much potential, as long as you don’t spill your dinner down you… I favoured it that much last year I had a ‘White Party’ for my 21^st Birthday, and as painful as it was for everyone to find a white outfit it looked amazing! The room was glowing, and I love how much everyone stood out when the UV lights came on. I had a change mid-way through the night and put on an orange and yellow UV dress, obviously then I stood out the most!

White is such a clean, stand out colour that can be paired with anything you like; you can throw in a bright bag to jump out the contrast or how about some more white?! White on white, with white shoes…fresh airy linen trousers and a white top with white sandals, too much? I'm not going to lie I like it, looking like something out of an East 17 music video from the 90’s! Bring it on!!!

20 Under £20

Spring is here!! 

This morning started clear with a pastel pink sky, which got me thinking about the current spring pastel trend, it has then rained all afternoon so I’m now sat at my desk dreaming of a sunny day! I have done my best to find some items that I think fit well into the trend, the mood board below has 20 items on all for under £20! Pastels are everywhere at the minute, as I’m at the office I have done all my research for this one online, all of the labels underneath the images are links to the website pages where you can find the items if you want to buy them!! I have slipped a beanie into this mood board as todays weather has shown it’s not quite ready to let go of the cold rainy days, and the swimwear has gone on as I know so many people booking holidays at the moment, plus the ice cream swimsuit from Misguided is just amazing!! The floral prints of some garments on the market really compliment the pastels so these can also be key to brightening up some pastel outfits!

Hope this helps to pastel up your spring wardrobe!

Peace and Love xx
