Style Spotlight: Sleeveless Jackets for Spring and Summer 2015

Sophisticated and eternally chic, the sleeveless jacket has taken over Spring and Summer outerwear this year. A staple that’s both practical and feminine, the trend is set to understandably outlive its other currently fashionable competitors.

From androgynous, tailored sleeveless suit jackets to beautifully-flowing macs, there’s a style to suit everybody; it’s just about finding your perfect throw-on companion. If you’re after some sartorial inspiration, here’s my edit of the hottest sleeveless jackets and coats on the high street right now – just remember that you only need one!



I couldn’t adore this collection more, and I’m already a sleeveless jacket aficionado. Whether it’s a new tailored staple to update your work wardrobe, or a chic, flowing mac to throw on at the weekend that you’re after, adding a sleeveless jacket to your ensemble will instantly overhaul your entire look. There are so many colours, styles and textures to choose from, it’s difficult to choose just one of these gorgeous jackets! Would you like to know my secret? I already own two of these! (The Miss Selfridge & Zara numbers, FYI.)

It’s obvious that I’m besotted with this covetable new fashion hero, but are you sold on the new trend? Let me know in the comments below!

My Beauty Wishlist: Spring 2015 Sephora Cosmetics I’m Lusting After

I’ve been lucky enough to visit New York City recently, and I’m so obsessed with the culture, I’m returning this November for Thanksgiving – I’ll also be celebrating my five year anniversary with my boyfriend, so I’m beyond excited! Although I was quickly mesmerized by the never-ending heights of the statuesque skyscrapers, the tooting of bright yellow cabs and the constant city buzz down each avenue, there’s one thing that really caught my attention, and that’s Sephora. Ridiculous, I know, but I’m a self-confessed beauty junkie, and we just don’t have an alternative here in the UK. (Boots and Superdrug, move along!)

As Sephora are now shipping to the UK, I’ve put together my little wishlist for this spring and summer. I’m genuinely considering selling my car to pay for everything here!


 


I’m genuinely lusting after all of these products! I want nothing more than to overhaul my entire make-up collection with all of these beautiful cosmetics products. I’ve chosen a lot of bronzers and contour kits here, which reflects the sudden change in climate over here in the UK – hello, summer sun! I’ve also picked a lot of cute products from Too Faced, and a couple of gorgeous Kat Von D products that I’m dying to try – why aren’t they stocked over here?!

What do you think of my picks? Do you own any of these products? Do you know if we can get any Kat Von D or Tarte products in the UK? Let me know in the comments below!

Kim Kardashian West: Get the Look for Less this Spring 2015

She’s one of the most famous women in the world, and with her name emblazoned across advertisements, magazines and television headlines it has to be said, Kim Kardashian West is kind of a big deal. A notorious claim to fame has since been surpassed by her iconic style and entrepreneurial spirit and it’s not like we don’t all religiously watch Keeping up with the Kardashians, now, is it?

Since she broke the internet a few months ago, Kim Kardashian has been noticed for her sartorial savviness and major style update – gone are the days of double denim and belted, knit dresses. Kanye’s influence or not, this is definitely Kim Kardashian 2.0, and here’s the five hot pieces you need to channel her high-octane 2015 style:


1. FORM-FITTING CO-ORD


2. LITTLE WHITE DRESS


3. NUDE DUSTER JACKET


4. HIGH-WAISTED TROUSERS


5. STRUCTURED BLACK JACKET


If you’re after the perfect Kim K-esque capsule wardrobe, and you need the finishing touches on my suggestions above, then I’d definitely pair all of your outfits with nude courts and designer sunnies! There’s no doubting that Kim’s style is iconic, though, as it’s easy to find her look for less on the high street – a simple co-ord with a blazer would nail her evening style, whilst a duster jacket and high-waisted trousers nods to her fashion week style instantly.

Are you a fan of Kim Kardashian’s style? Do you like any of my picks above? Let me know in the comments below!
