London's temperatures are soaring and happy to say that there doesn't seem to be an end to its beauty for the next few weeks, I can honestly say that I think summer is here to stay and I am more than happy to combat hay fever and the humid commute to work, as I am keeping my cool in dresses perfect for a summers day and stretching into the night.

I was in my element, my comfort zone as it were in this dress from Stradvarius (black version), I was a little unsure if it would keep me cool as it's knitted just like this one I also got from M&S but I'm not gonna lie they are perfect for this weather, it's not a heavy knit, light enough to get the air in, plus its hot a great flattering shape so that it billows at the bottom drawing some cool air up, they are both perfect for summer walks through the park and to beat the summer heat, just make sure you top on the sunscreen for you and the family.
Honestly when it comes to dress shopping who has the time trapesing from store to store to find the perfect dress to keep cool in this summer, hands up, not I! But I got you covered as I did the legwork for you, all you need to do is just add slides, or comfy trainers, gold hoops and cat-eye sunnies.

Summer, summer time, summertime! Well Spring! Ah yes, we are finally here in the warmer months, which means dress season, time to shave those winter legs, get your golden glow on and fill your wardrobe with dresses galore.
Let's start off with this yellow beauty that I snapped up for a total bargain from H&M for less than £25! It is super gorgeous and so comfy and easy to wear, whilst I paired it with my favourite white linen shirt, to help cover my little protruding mumma tums, what can I say a girl likes to eat I'm a total sucker for doughnuts and the girls in the office are forever heading to Krispy Kremes for afternoon treats. I mean it would be rude of me to refuse, but i'm working on flattening out the little monster.

I wore this look with my sisters new Primark sunglasses which I stole and she is not getting back, thanks sis. These were also under £100 a steal at £3, I mean £3 for sunglasses you can not go wrong with a little primani love can you completed the look with my Next straw bag, now sold out but the neutral colour is still available completed with these glorious Monki pearl 2 strap slip on sandals. All really great and super affordable price points and quality of each piece is incredible and you will certainly get your more wear out of it despite the amazing price points.
There are so many incredible and cute dresses out there at the moment all under £100 and I have collated a few of my new favourites which I have lined up below for you, from linen to classics and few with a pop of colour to suit all shapes and sizes that can be worn now and even taken on holiday, you do not want to miss them so I suggest snapping them up quickly to not be disappointed as I am sure the will go quickly.
Let me know what you think and what are your favourites.

With warmer weather settling in and clear blue skies, one thing you can not live without this summer and need to invest in is a linen dress, it's light and airy and perfect especially for the long weekend ahead and beach days.
It is so important for me to find the right dress every summer after all summer sun and holidays is what we live for, this year for me it has to be the classic linen dress, neutrals, earthy tones, stripes and colours, short sleeves, long sleeves, to no sleeves, you name it I'll be wearing it dressed up and down with some new or should I say perfume that I got from Grastisfaction UK.

Over the recent weeks, I've been investing in every style and colour linen dresses, they are perfect worn to work, weddings, the races, dressed down with trainers fitting for school runs and other parenting shenanigans or worn to brunch with sandals and statement earrings for Friday night after work drinks. It has become a new best friend, who never lets you down, makes you feel and look great and flatters those lumps and bumps, I'm always trying to cover up.
I wore this striped linen dress from mango who have an amazing range of cooling linen dresses, perfect to withstand the spring, summer months to a coffee date with my sister. It's a classic wardrobe staple and so easy to wear with some flats and a wicker bag which I am chuffed to say I got for £15 in Camden market, next stop a hagglers life for me in Morocco.
I like to go a size up with my linen dresses, pants and shirts, to give it a more relaxed easy-breezy look, after all, linen is supposed to be cooling and chic and easy to wear even though it can be a nightmare to iron. If you are looking to nip in a relaxed linen dress as I know they can look sack-like don't worry and good cinch-style wrap at the waist will leave it looking flattering and you stylish to a tee.
I have certainly found my season must have's, will linen dresses be yours?

With winter in full swing and a little light dusting of snow over the weekend, it can be hard to know what to wear, especially if you have an occasion coming up.
Not wanting to wear anything too bright, but yet still nothing too dark either, it can be hard to find that perfect occasion in between look.
The high street is currently awash with some darling pieces, that you can wear all year round, from bright florals to the dark romantic kind, all at affordable prices, so you are not left completely blowing the budget on that must have dress or even tailored jumpsuit.
When you have an upcoming event it can be a tad stressful finding the right attire and creating the perfect look, whilst still wanting to look good you do not want to upstage your host, which can cause you some grief. But with a little forward planning, finding out about your location and the type of occasion you will be attending, a little planning goes a long way!
Bright florals like the one that I am wearing from Riva is great for most occasions, be it a wedding, an engagement party Coast have fab ones too. But when I am buying for a special occasion, I always think about can I wear it again, if so how can I!? Mixing it up is always fun, especially when pairing it with some comfy trainers for a kids party or lunch with the girls. So if you are going to blow the budget on the perfect look, you want to make sure you get the most out of your look and that you are able to style it various ways, for more than the one occasion. So right now, if you have bought that fancy dress for a special occasion, why not give it a more relaxed look, by pairing it with some trainers, or even throwing on a chunky knit and teaming it with some bike botts to give it an edgier look or if you just bought the perfect jump/suit and want to take it to a relaxed day look why not grab a baker boy hat and rock it with a pair of sneakers.
Playing with styles, colours and fabrics for an occasion is always fun, as well as choosing the right accessories too, so do not fret, I've got you covered with some great looks for any Winter occasion.
