Perfect for Peplum...

The peplum trend has swept the fashion nation and made a big slash on the high-street. You can't walk past a shop window or browse a store without seeing more than one dress or top in this classic style. Now I'm not really one for adopting really girly trends but this one is an exception. I've taken the plunge and invested in a simple black peplum top from Primark for just £8.00 showing they also wont break the bank balance.

Although when I got my peplum home I did sit down and realise I really didn't know what to wear it with. So if your like me and want to try the trend this is what i would recommend wearing with the versatile plain black pepelum top...

Boby-con skirts are an amazing pairing for a plain peplum top they add a pop of colour or an interesting look  with pattern to modernise the style. I found adding a plain black skirt in a mini or pencil style gives the impression of you wearing a dress which works amazingly for a formal look and bright patterns create a more casual appearance.

Let me know what you would pair with a peplum or even if you would wear one at all?

I'm loving...

I'm not a fan of pastel colours at all, being so pale they make me look even paler and in turn like I has some kind of illness but I cant help loving mint. Something about it just screams out to me and I have to grab it with both hands. God knows my collection of mint will be growing this summer and if I can find a thick jumper ill be taking mint into my winter wardrobe too!

Home Time Haul...

Every time I make a trip home to see my mum we always go for a shopping trip together so this is simply the outcome from one of those trips!

 Coated Jeans-newlook(sale)-£11.00

Maxi Skirt-Primark-£10.00

I really wanted a new pair of jeans and black is my go to colour so when I found these coated jeans in the sale at newlook I got very excited as I was going to buy them full price but by the time I got round to it they were out of stock. They are a perfect alternative to plain jeans and just add a bit of interest to a basic outfit. The maxi skirt is a bit of an odd story its actually a size 12 and as a size 6-8 I would recommend trying it on before you buy if your interested in picking one up.

bikini-Primark-total £8.00

When I spotted (pardon the pun) this spotty dark blue/purple and white bikini in Primark instantly knew it was coming home with me! I have been searching for one just like this for months. I love the retro almost 50s feel to it and for £8.00 for top and bottoms how can you go wrong. All I need now is an excuse to wear it.

Crop Tops-Primark(sale)-£3.00 to £1.00

Mint tee-H&M-£6.99

These little crop tops were a steal at £1.00 and I already own two others they're the perfect thing to put on with  high waisted shorts on a hot day. I also picked up this plain mint t-shirt. I have been looking for one for ages and noticed this one out the corner of my eye in H&M and couldn't resist it, I really have an obsession with mint and red at the moment.

Knitted Black Vest-H&M-£7.99

Peplum Top-Primark-£8.00

I bought another knitted vest from H&M the white one was everywhere on YouTube for a while and after purchasing it I had to buy the black and the orange version for my mum because she loved it too! The peplum trend is something I'm planning on doing a sort of look book for soon and this is the top I'm going to style. I was amazed at the quality of this top its something I would expect to find in Topshop for £30.00+ not Primark for £8.00. It has to be one of the best buys of this year.
