How To: Ripped Jeans

Sunshine Smile

I love yellow! It doesn't suit me, it isn't easy to pull off, but I still absolutely love it. Primrose through to mustard, it is such a happy colour and as soon as I see it I almost cheer up!

Our little taste of Summer may have been short lived as snow decides to rear it's ugly head once again, but lets relive it with a beautiful buttery patent Mulberry and these Missguided shoes that I literally can't stop featuring on here! I think I just need to put myself out of my misery and buy a pair. Here's hoping I did okay last term at LCF, so I can justify treating myself to these gorgeous boots (buy them here)... and i'll just keep dreaming on the Mulberry front!

Chelsea Chic

by Shona Wallace, @SWfashion_

I never once thought that I would be citing a reality TV star as a style icon, but that was before I realised how much of a style crush I had developed for Millie Mackintosh. While Made in Chelsea is certainly a guilty pleasure of mine, I no longer watch it solely for the dramas, I'm also a little bit infatuated with Millie's wardrobe.

An enviable blend of chic French labels like Maje and Sandro (my favourites!) topped off with luxurious accessories and glossy hair, Millie's look is polished elegance balanced with a youthful edge. She dresses the way I would if I were rich... And pretty... And not so lazy. 

Her outfit at last night's Look awards is a case in point, showing just how to work brights this season. I love, love, love the look! She tweeted today that she was wearing Australian designer Rachel Gilbert with Jimmy Choo wedges (mmm, so lush!), and her papaya leather jacket is by the amazing Parisian brand Carven. I adore her style- she is the perfect example of how to wear a trend without looking a fashion victim.

Lemon Lovelies

by Shona Wallace, @SWfashion_

I can hardly resist sorbet shades this season, and this Topshop skirt really is the ultimate. Pretty pleats, a sweet lemon shade and a lovely drop hem. It's feminine, cheery and flattering- it will brighten up any day!

Pair with these gorgeous bright accessories for an on trend look which will certainly put a spring in your step! 

Chirpy Two Shoes!

by Shona Wallace, @SWfashion_

These Missguided  boots are just so sweet. More than a little bit Jeffrey Campbell inspired, these are a snip of the price and come in such sweet colours.

The yellow is a personal favourite, perfect teamed with denim or muted tones, but I am more than a little bit in love with the others as well! If only I could take one in every colour!

These should definitely lift your mood at the end of this dreary grey Monday!
