Those clogs

Well this post and this trend will not come as a surprise to most of you, yes clogs are back and it looks like they are here to stay throughout the summer. I have been looking for a while now for m perfect clog and boy did I look (you might remember this post). For a long time I hesitated to buy the JC clog which was a almost replica of the Chanel ones but I like to have my feet strapped in for some reason Then I received the JS Dany's but the platform at the front is just too much for my daytime routines and then I came across these lovely Zara sandal/wedges. In my view they are the perfect clogs for this summer especially when paired with rolled up jeans like most of these gorgeous ladies have done. I love the fact that Zara has taken the old clog and made it modern. I am seriously loving them and are currently on my 'to buy now and desperately need, no matter what any one else says' list. What are you guys clogging in this summer?

The longer the better

The long vest like dress is the perfect substitue for trousers and shorts skirts! Sick of wearing leggings and trousers but not quite ready to bare our legs in short dresses and shorts. Indeed the long dress is the perfect solution and it looks like the H&M vest  like dress for a mere 9,99£ is the bloggers favorite 'go to' dress. If you remember I wore mine a while back layered with a cardigan and my leather jacket. I quite like the black stripped version too though! These are the perfect dresses to layer and play around with accessories like these girls have done, more or less anything goes; hats, scarves, necklaces, belts... One thing every girl here agreed on you need killer heels tu pull this look off and a leather jacket seems to be the favourite layering.

I wanted to take the time to thank you for all your numerous comments and support this last few weeks, especially regarding these trend post, that do indeed take time, but are such a pleasure to do and even more so to share with you. Hope you liked this one as much as the last. Good luck to everyone who is sitting exams!

Small edit to this post: only one hour after posting this trend post, the blog 'Blue is in Fashion this year' send me a line saying that I was featured in her trend post (her and I do love our trends) which funnily enough was also about the H&M maxi dress. So you see I don't event these trends :) I thought that this was pretty insane and funny that I wanted to share this with you, so I really recommend you check out her trend post here which is a bit more general than mine. Thank for featuring me!!

So cats from different countries might 'meaouw' differently but one thing in the blogosphere is now consistent when you see a 'meaouw', more often than not, it is now associated to Miu Miu's latest collection. One collection that the bloggers have being going mad about, the platform satin shoes, the collars, the broches and most of all the kitty and swallow print. One Miu Miu inspired dress that I have been seing lately on every street corner (quite literally) is the Zara cat print dress. More over, after meeting the lovely jen from StyleCrusader sporting this cute little piece I knew then and there what my next trend post was going to be.

Three accessories (or ways to wear this dress if you wish) really caught my eye. Firstly, I love the idea of wearing stripes with this dress, either under when the weather is, well crap british weather that is very undecided like Jen or over in the form of a cardigan like Mel. I really like the idea of mixing prints and it is one hot trend for the summer. Secondly, wearing the dress with clogs seems to work for the girls and if definitely works for me. Indeed, why not work two trends at the same time, like Jen (yes her again, no I am not obsessed), Iris and Emily. Plus it really gives the dress a certain extra charm. Thirdly, a smile is the best accessory of them all. This dress screams 'please don't take me too seriously' even more so when paired with clogs and mixing prints, so no frowning ladies! Well, I'm off to go and cry outside my zara as they don't sell this cute little piece anymore and I'm stuck on campus for the newt two weeks to study for my exams.

Referee for a day

The H&M striped waterfall jacket was picked up by many bloggers. Indeed it looks like stripes will be following us into summer to. However, this jacket was a nice variation of the striped trend and was a bit more modern than the Zara jacket many of you have also been sporting.

I tried on the leather Zara black clogs today and quite liked them, they are more sober than my current Dany platforms which is an understatement. I really want a nice pair of wooden sandals preferably with black leather and this were pretty much perfection. Sorry for the lack of activity, this was due to a couple of reasons. Firstly, lack of internet and secondly, I have so much to do. I have a lot planned for today and I will post very shortly a couple of outfit posts. Have a great weekend!!
