Style Theory: It is around about this time of the year my wardrobe needs a big injection of colour, this year pretty much any colour goes. So whilst I have been trawling the internet working on lots of different projects for brands I have been spotting (and buying..eek) so many gorgeous things. So here are a few items that have caught my eye and wallet, no major theme but I know they will provide a much needed 'lift' to my wardrobe...
Topshop £29
Gingham, pale blue, huge voluminous sleeves..Love this!! With ankle length jeans and the Stan Smiths (below) the perfect Spring outfit.
Topshop £32
I saw this top on someone recently at an event and rushed home and ordered it. Believe me, it looks amazing on, so much better in real life than in this photo, I presumed it was a designer top as it looked so luxe on and was so happy to find out it was Topshop. It will look great with black or navy ankle length navy tailored trousers and heels for work or with pale blue boyfriend jeans and gold heel strappy heels for a night out.
Topshop £29
I saw this in store the other day and just love it. It is the most beautiful vibrant pink and has a subtle 'mon amie' logo stitched into the front with a bigger 'Je Suis Heureux' stitched into the back. It looks expensive but is really not too pricey, I would wear with my cut off levis 501s shorts and white trainers in the summer. It is quite oversized so just take your normal size.
Monsoon £55
I have this top in the long sleeve version but am loving the no sleeve version for the summer. It is great to wear under a fitted jacket (so nice not to have fussy, bulky sleeves under a jacket) I would wear with my navy blazer or military jacket and jeans and my trainers to balance it all out a little. You have to wear your own vest top underneath. 
Free People £138
Just completely adore this jumpsuit although it is a little pricey. The colour and fabric are stunning and it would be unbelievably comfortable for summer, just throw a denim jacket over the top for extra (UK) warmth and wear with some strappy, tan, flat sandals.
Isabel Marant Etoile @Theoutnet now £150.45
I have this dress in black and I wore it loads last summer and cannot wait to wear it this summer. It is so flattering and I am so tempted to get it in white too. I sized up one size as I find French sizing small. If you buy now layer over a pair of skinny, ankle length jeans and loafers for a very 2017 look.
&Other Stories £65
Love this dress, it is so easy to wear, I will wear mine with flat strappy sandals in the summer. It comes up a little small (I think?! - especially on the arms or maybe it is just that I have chunked out a little?!) so you may need to size up.
Hush £125
Just utterly and completely obsessed with this bright pink, fine cashmere sweater from Hush, it is a much brighter shade in the flesh and looks amazing on. It is the most flattering colour and will look gorgeous with a tan. It is fine enough to wear in the summer with shorts and would be the most comfortable sweater to travel in...just love it!!
&OtherStories £39
I have tried this on and it is such a great breton, it's more of a sweater shape so does not cling around the tummy area and the neckline sits beautifully. One of those tops you would wear again and again and would look great with the jeans below..

J Brand Selena Jeans @NetaPorter £225
Possibly the most flattering jeans ever, I adore the J Brand Selena jeans and if you are small, like me, they fit oerfectly leg wise, the cut off stops just above the ankle bone for a fab summer look. Wear with trainers, heels, blouses or sweaters these jeans are multi taskers - size down at least one size as they do come up big.
Russell and Bromley £195
So Gucci-esque, still expensive but these trainers are just gorgeous, I love the heart detail on the front...the most fab summer sneakers..

There is basically my summer shopping list so far this season, so many gorgeous things, they would really brighten up my wardrobe..now what is the priority?!!

Have you bought much this season so far, I guess this crazy weather we are having makes it all a bit confusing, one day I am ready to pack my winter jumpers away, the next it is freezing and I need them! I am so looking forward to summer now..

As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, until next time Fran xxx
