Tartan Picks

Hello!

Today I bring you my first fashion post! I hope to do many more of these if you like them so please comment your thoughts.

Tarten/check is becoming very popular and is appearing in more and more shops. Personally, I love the look of tartan and so I decided to put together a post of my favourite items (it turned out to be a lot)!


Cropped sweat | Check shirt | Velvet tartan top | Denim top with tartan collar

I loved so many tops, but I decided to narrow it down, and give a variety of different styles. There's the classic shirt, the more chic, velvet top, the cropped sweat, and my favourite, the denim shirt with a tartan collar. I love how you can wear this and still get the tartan look without going all out.
I think a tartan top would look, and stand out better, if you kept the trousers plain.

Check leggings | Red tartan leggings | Blue check jeans
Velvet skirt | Tartan mini skirt

Personally, I think tartan leggings look better, but I did find a nice pair of check jeans. I think tartan trousers and leggings would look great with a black (or other colour) peplum top.
 I wasn't so much of a fan of tartan skirts because I think some can make you look, school girl-ish or like your wearing a kilt, I did find two that I liked though.

Sweetheart dress | Green tartan dress | Tartan skater dress | Smock dress
Dresses was the hardest to narrow down because I loved so many of them. What I particularly like, is that you can get smart ones, and you can get casual, chill out at home with a hot chocolate, ones. I think tartan dresses are great and you can keep the rest of your outfit simple.

Also, after I had finished the rest of this post, I came across this dress...



I don't know about you, but I absolutely love it. I think it would be perfect for the summer, for the beach and for festivals. I love how it goes from tartan to blue in a kind of dip-dyed effect. Ahhhhhh I just love it!

Okay this post is getting too long...

I hope you liked my favourite tartan picks and let me know in the comments which was your favourite!

Valetine's Day and Instagram

Happy Valentine's Day!!! 

First of all I hope you had a great day with your family, friends and your valentine. Valentine's day is a lovely day where you can show your love for someone, hang out with you friends and eat choccy! Even if your not with the love of your life, you can still have lots of fun, a girls night in with pizza and films (i'm thinking).

Some cute little quotes:

If you live to be one hundred,
I want to live to be one hundred minus a day,
So I never have to live a day without you.

We’re all a little weird. Life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness - and call it love - true love.

Piglet: How do you spell love?
Pooh: You don't spell it you feel it.


I am also using this post to introduce you to my Instagram. I have recently got Instagram for my blog and I was just letting you know, if you would like to pop along and follow my life in pictures, please do :)
