Marni x H&M Part 2

Jacket c/o BooHoo

PJ style shirt from Marni x H&M

Trousers from Topshop

Vivienne Westood jelly pumps c/o Sarenza

This silk PJ shirt is the second item from my Marni x H&M haul and I absolutely adore it. The shirt is made from a gorgeous heavy silk and I love the masculine style. The pattern is pretty without being overly girly and I love the pockets. The pajama trend can be hard to wear so to stop looking like I'd rolled out of bed I wore it with a blazer and pretty shoes. Slipper style shoes should be avoided at all costs when wearing this shirt! Have you seen the panthers on these trousers, I LOVE THEM! If you now me, you'll know I love comedy clothing and these trousers are a new edition to my collection. The fact they're black makes them pretty easy to wear as the panther print is fairly subtle! I like the masculine relaxed feel to this outfit, it's not a shape I often wear but I'm enjoying the comfort of it.

Last night I went to see Bird of a Feather at Richmond theatre. It was hilarious and just like the old TV show. Tomorrow I'm off to see Misterman at the National Theatre which I'm very excited about as I love Cillian Murphy. Together with Monday's bowling trip to the All Star Lanes n Brick Lane this week has been very busy indeed.

Spring Fashion: Floral Trousers

Evening all, I hope you've had a nice weekend. Once again I've been a busy bee. On Friday night I went to the V&A Connects - Fashion Blogging talk. The talk itself didn't really interest that much, I was more concerned about seeing some of my blogging favourites AKA Lily, Sarah, Sarah, Michelle, Jazmine, Rebecca and Caroline. After the museum, I popped over to Carnaby Street with Lily where we met Sophie for dinner at the Diner. It was delicious, as always! On Saturday I spent a glorious THREE AND A HALF HOURS in the hairdressers getting my roots bleached and a trim. I go to the Witches Hut in Clapham Common, Frankee has been doing my hair for years and I throughly recommend that place. I'd say it's cheap by London standards. She styled my hair into the most fantastic beehive which I tried to recreate myself today and failed miserably! After my hair appointment I went to see the Quentin Blake exhibition at the Foundling Museum, it was lovely and made me very nostalgic. Roald Dahl books were my favourites as a child and Blake's illustrations were the perfect accompaniment. After food in Nandos I made use of my 241 CineWorld tickets and saw Cabin in the Woods. As horror films go it was pretty amusing and despite the somewhat crazy ending I did enjoy it. Today I went to Sotheby's to see Munch's Scream which is being sold in New York on May 2nd. I did a spot of shopping on Oxford Street, finally ate at Leon and cleared out a massive pile of eBay clothes in my room.

Anyway, on to the point of this post. Floral trousers are big for spring this year and you can grab a pair from almost any high street shops. This particular H&M pair are a bit of a blogging sensation which is probably because they only cost £12.99. When I saw Sophie and Amy rocking them I knew they had to be mine but wearing a pair of trousers this bold can be somewhat difficult. To add focus on the print but still remain day time approriate I wore them with a pain tee and denim jacket. This makes the look casual but still on trend as the floral print is doing all the talking. Next time I might go for a smart blazer or a wolly jumper. I'm not quite braze enough to try print clashing with these yet!

I loved the Marni x H&M collection as soon as I saw those colourful summer prints all those months ago. I knew that I wanted a few key items from the collaboration and after some frantic website refreshing I managed to nab 3 lovely things. I actually wanted the shift dress version of this blouse but alas it sold out in my size. When I saw that the blouse had exactly the same print as my coveted dress I snapped it up instead and I don't regret it! Not only is the blouse a nice soft and silky material that is easy to wear during the heat, the double sided print is divine. I love the wow factor, the different print on either side style is something you don't see that often. Also, the knot at the back is adjustable so you can play around with the neckline whilst the extra material adds a little back detail which is always a lovely touch.

I wore this outfit to the Aussie catwalk event a few weekends ago. The lovely Lily invited me as her plus and not only did I get to hang out with some of my blogging favourites but I thoroughly enjoyed FROW at the catwalk! After the event I met my parents for afternoon tea at the Wolseley which was heavenly! I noticed the other day that many of the pieces from the Marni x H&M collection are still available online so I'm keeping my eye out for the dress I originally wanted. I think it'll look gorgeous when I got to Marrakesh in September.

Did you buy anything from this collaboration x

Happy Easter 2012

I'm back, did you miss me? I haven't been blogging over the last month for a few reason, 1. I've been super busy being social and all that, with spring time in full bloom there's a lot of exciting stuff going on in London. 2. I've spent most of my last 4 weekends taking part in The Fabergé Big Egg Hunt around London. Collecting eggs from all over the city to raise money for charity. It's been exhausting but good fun and I'll update you with some pictures soon. And reason 3 is the most tragic of them all. I've been completely addicted/infatuated/obsessed with House but now my evening marathons of watching the fine man are over normal business can resume once again.

This is what I wore yesterday on Easter Sunday, complete with Lindt Easter egg and all. I had a nice relaxing day at home followed by a delicious Sunday roast. In the evening my little sister H and I went to see Headhunters which was brilliant and I definitely recommend you go see it if you like crime thrillers. Last weekend I also saw The Hunger Games which was equally good.

Hope you had a chocolate filled Easter x
