027

like one of my favourites things about topshop.com is the 'collections' section. if any of you aren't familiar (which i doubt :)!), this is a little section where they are kind enough to sum up predicted trends or themes for the coming months, and include links to items of clothing that fit that trend.

since i have spent the whole week in my school uniform, i unfortunatley have to no exciting pictures to show you! but, i was browsing the topshop website today at school (AND BY THAT I MEAN REVISING, OF COURSE) and i thought i might as well show you my take on some of the collections they have up there -- especially seeing as there are some new ones. i'll start with the older winter ones, and then we can all excitedly look forward to summer dressing :D


when i read this description, i was really excited! but in actuality i don't really love most of these clothes and it was a struggle to pick one i'd really really wear in real real life, so i think this is what my alter-ego would wear! :)
i do love that skirt - but, having tried it on recently, it actually looks really weird on me.
sad times :(

by far and above my least favourite trend. leotards don't look good on anybody over size six and just... just no. i never really saw the appeal of this :) this dress/vest/thingy was the only thing i thought i might wear but, really? i don't think i'd pay actual money for it.


i didn't think i was going to like this anywhere near as much as i did! shorts and boots takes me back to this summer, and i actually really like that t-shirt! and i NEVER like printed t-shirts :)


but this was my favourite by far. i'm in LOVE with everything on this page - especially the shoes & the shorts! i keep trying to pick which one i prefer :D

i'm usually far better at winter dressing (which is fortunate, given our truly epic winters and dismal summers here in the united states of kingdom) but those last two collections have got me all excited for summer. i can't wait to take my dog for long walks in the evenings, i can't wait to go on long car journeys to new places with my boyfriend, i can't wait to spend weeks and weeks without homework, i can't wait to drink more diet coke than is feasibly possible and, more than that, i can't wait to not have to wear three pairs of tights at once! :)

which do you prefer, summer or winter?

I am so much better at summer dressing, or well, spring maybe. I hate winter.

Oh my favourite is also the Glory days one! from the dress to the shoes, the bag and the shorts!! adorable! I am really sad we don't have topshop here and can't also buy online :/
I guess I prefer winter dressing because we can make much mre combinations, but also love spring clothing!

Haha, yeah I was amazed at how cheap the New Look tee was,
and I tried it on just now and it's a really nice fit as well! I went a size up and it hangs gorgeously.

So jealous of Topshop. Unfortunately the dollar is weak and the shipping expensive.

I actually LOVE the top in the circus collection, want ittt!

I should buy some of the 'work it' collection to help my gym visits become more stylish haha. Gym clothes are yucky in my experience!

I will say that i prefer summer dressing... I love being able to just pout on a dress and a cardigan, and not worry that i'll get cold! Also, i just don't dress very well in winter I could do with a lesson or 2!

P.S My little troll, Puff, was bought from Trolltracks on Etsy!
