Lusting Marni

 

I would be lying if I said before the H&M collaboration last spring, I wasn't majorly aware of Marni.

Though after seeing this seasons collection it would hard not to be aware of them, let alone want all of it.

I've seen snippets of the collection in Selfridges, and ogled the website, hoping a money tree quickly appears.

 

Embellished T-shirts

Easy Wear Shorts

The geo prints are to die for and so easy to wear. The shapes of shorts aren't made for Barbie dolls with perfect pins, but real women. And don't get me started on the T-shirts with embellished necklines. To top it off Mollie King offa The Saturdays, was pictured wearing a beautiful Marni outfit at last nights InStyle awards.

All though my bank balance can't stretch to the £430 for a T-shirt, there seems to be lots of high street Marni inspired pieces.

ASOS have these brilliant Geo print easy tailored shorts, which would look great with a plain tee, and added oversized necklace, to get that Marni look.

Finally, if you didn't get your hands on any of the H&M Marni collaboration last spring. H&M have a very similar necklace to the one which sold out, in stores now. What do you think of the casual laid back Marni look? Will you be searching the high streets for your Marni alternative?

 

ASOS SS13

So apart from coveting everything in the Whistles SS13 collection, which I wrote about here, and slogging at the library on my final assignments, you'll mainly find me clearing my wardrobe for the ASOS SS13 collection.

The collection shows pieces which are minimalist chic, fresh, exciting metallics and the perfect workwear wardrobe full of tailored trousers. I'm loving the geometric shorts, and have already treated myself to the red jumper to match.

The flirty dresses on offer, will certainly be competing for my graduation ball and ceremony dress. The white trend is certainly showing throughout with gorgeous decorated heels, and the perfect sundress.

It would also be rude not to mention the accessories. Architectural platforms and Anna Dello Russo style sunnies. Plus Charlotte Olympia esque wedges. And beautiful wear with anything clutches.

With prices on ASOS being reasonable, and free super saver delivery it'll be hard not to purchase it all. Plus, for 48 hours they are offering 25% student discount. So what you waiting for, get shopping.

 

What's been going on....

I've shown Abigail's Party a little but of a cold shoulder recently. End of year deadlines piled on top of me, as well as end of term fun. But here's a little round up of what I've been up to the last few weeks...

 I'm extremely excited to return home for Christmas. Even the Christmas Eve drive, is making me giddy. I've managed to finish all my present buying early, and now looking forward to grabbing some bargains in the sales.

Neons and Crops

Possibly a new favourite of my summer wardrobe. I picked this skirt up last week in the ASOS sale, and with an extra 10% off it was hard not to resist buying. Because of the skirt being such a statement, I felt it needed a plain top. However white I felt would be too stark and slightly gypsy wedding. Some how the pale blue crop, works perfectly. Never did I think I'd be wearing a crop to, however a high waisted skirt is a perfect reason too. Let's just hope the sun sticks around so I can get a bit more wear from it.
