Friday Fashion Treats

I must apologise that I have been so absent from my blog of late. I have been interning and moving, so the blog has gone a tad quiet.

I have also been without internet which makes life pretty difficult for a blogger.

Alas, I am back and felt I should share with you some glorious end of week treats to tempt you away from your pressing Friday evening work.

1. Every time Bijoux Bazaar gets a new drop, I notice a sudden drop in my bank balance. Anyone else feel this knock-on effect? This dove grey and crystal MANHATTAN style is the latest piece to catch my eye, and I am terribly worried it will sell out very soon. It is the perfect piece to throw over a casual sweater dress, or to add a healthy bit of chic to your LBD. It is a great buy... but please don't all buy one. Leave one for me, yes?

2. I have fallen hard for these burgundy velvet Hoxton sandals from ASOS. Velvet is so very decadent and elegant, and this rich colour just exudes opulent allure. They are the perfect shoes to buy in the run up to the party season.

3. A slip dress is foolproof for a Friday night, and this metallic one is a real dazzler. It's so 90s Kate Moss it hurts, and the silver sheen is perfect for both AW13 and SS14. It's a knockout. Sadly most small sizes are gone, but it will work on anyone.

4. This nail polish by Seche, also at ASOS is the perfect regal raspberry shade to compliment these killer ASOS heels.

Friday Jungle Fever

Bikini by Kenzo at Matches, £185

Oh my golly gosh- it's positively tropical out there, isn't it?

(Note the hint of sarcasm there, boys and girls, I'm all too aware that my "sense of humour" does not always translate across the internet)

Unless you are on some sort of decadent holiday, or have an exceptionally high body temperature, you are probably freezing your toes off right about now just like me. May, you say? No. I don't think so.

It is unseasonably cold in London at the moment but, on the plus side, I have just finished off my final term of second year and am looking forward to beginning perhaps the most exciting work placement of my life next week.

Yaaay for Maaay.

Anywaaay, I just thought i'd do my best to brighten up what, for most, is a very dreary day with this glorious bikini which has just landed at www.matchesfashion.com.

Granted, it is not the cheapest of itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny bikinis, but it is so bang on this season and such a fabulous style. I simply adore the flattering v wiring on the top with criss-cross straps adding an fashion-forward edge to this piece.

With a delicious jungle print that just exudes tropical charm, this little two piece is a wearable interpretation of the nouveau exotic look which made Kenzo such a resounding hit this season.

If you've been working hard on those abs, then this is the perfect way to treat yourself.

Friday Flirtations!

Smile girls- it's Friday!

I have been super duper busy of late, but I just thought i'd share with you these divine underwear sets from Topshop which I have been very naughty and snapped up this week.

I don't think there are many things in life more indulgent than gorgeous lingerie. I feel it is the perfect way to treat yourself without spending too much money.

New pretty lingerie + a gorgeous bottle of champagne + yummy Laura Mercier body soufflé = unparalleled happiness.

These sets are wonderful value and just gorgeous for showing off under one of Topshop's signature silky camisoles. Pair with super skinny jeans and heels for a dinner date look that is pretty but still elegant.

Go on ladies, treat yourself. It has been a rather long week!

1. This balconette bra is wonderfully flattering, complete with a little flourish of double eyelash mint lace against a cream background. It is £18 here.

2. For something even prettier, opt for this unpadded lace bra with soft lace detailing and flirty bow detail. It is also £18 here.

3. The matching briefs are £8 here.

4. The matching thong is £8 here.
