5 Key Items to 'Lift' Your Spring Wardrobe



Style Theory: A few key items in your wardrobe will update your look, refreshing your outfits and giving your Spring style a 'lift'. Here are my five key items for this Spring...

THE CAMO/KHAKI JACKET

One of the most useful pieces of clothing you will buy all Spring, this jacket covers all outfit eventualities from laid back weekend dressing to throwing over your going out outfit. It gives all outfits that cool edge, slightly nonchalant, a little rebelious and so very 2016. It works as th eperfect layering piece, wear under your bomber jacket or winter coat now and in the summer wear over your tee and denim shorts or boho white dress, buy one and I promise you will not regret it..

The Chic Blouse

The blouse can dress up any look in a flash, wear with jeans, fitted trousers, shorts, the blouse will see you through seamlessly from day to night. It looks chic and elegant and can be worn through every season. Definitely an item to invest it, it will work hard for you throughout the year..

The Ankle Length Jeans

Such a good Spring jean, the cropped kick flare looks great with trainers, boots, ballet pumps or heels. The flared bottom really flatters your ankle making it look thinner and also balances out thighs and hips. I invested in the JBrand Selena jeans and have worn them non-stop.

The Ballet Pump

The ballet pump is having a resurgence, it is such an easy little shoe to slip on, looks ladylike and delicate, flatters ankles and looks amazing with skinny or crop kick flares. If you are like me and have a habit of hoarding you will probably have quite a few pairs of ballet pumps stored in your wardrobe, if not here are a selection of my favourites..

The Comfortable White Trainer

The best trainer to wear with every outfit from boyfriend jeans to a denim dress to shorts. Stan Smith trainers are incredibly comfortable, they flatter sunkissed ankles and now there are so many versions on the high street. without a doubt my 'got to' trainer. I pop sheepskin insoles in mine for added comfort and warmth on the colder days..

There are my 5 keys items for this Spring, you probably have quite a few of these, if not all already in your wardrobe, pair them together for a fabulous SS16 look, all are so versatile and can be mixed and matched with last year's trends along with wardrobe basics.

Do you have these items already, is there any of these your have not yet bought but have your eye on? As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, Fran xxxx

The hoody is back...


Hoody - Topshop £35
Coat - Maje £239.50
Jeans - J Brand Selena @Shopbop £155.41
Shoes - Gucci Marmont £495

Style Theory: The hoody is back..again. With sports luxe remaining a trend leader, hoodys are making their way to the forefront of fashion. With streetsylers at the fashion weeks pairing down their looks, juxtaposing feminine floaty skirts with hoodys or dressing down statement coats with a hoody underneath. It is being propelled from gym gear back to streetwear...

It is the perfect item to dress down a dressed up look, so versatile wear under your smart coats with ankle length trousers or jeans and a pair of statement shoes, anything goes..be brave and have fun with it and most of all it is one of the most comfiest items of clothing..
If you do have not have one lurking with your gym gear or at the back of the wardrobe, here are the best on the high street starting with the one I have just bought..
Topshop NYPD Hoody £35

I bought the medium as I like my sweaters to be oversized, this is the perfect snuggly hoody for daytime or evenings out.

Topshop Cheer Squad Hoodie £35

The perfect layering hoody, perfect for under a tighter jacket, a biker or blazer.

Topshop Supersoft Hoody £26

For a softer, prettier take on the hoody, pair this sweater with dark reds for an edgy look.

H&M Marled Hoody £14.99

A good basic, inexpensive hoody.

Nike @NetaPorter £50
I love the collar of this hoody at the front it is a little different, a little more interesting than the basic hoody and the colour is fab. wear with a floral maxi skirt and trainers.
Asos Story of Lola Sequin Hoody £75

I do love a sequin and think they can be worn at any time of the year not just at Christmas, this is the perfect 'sports luxe' piece. Wear with a breton, jeans and trainers for a cool look.

Asos Hoody £18

A perfect basic hoody, looks fab with shorts or wear under your statement fur coat.


Are you a hoody fan, do you still have a few stowed away at the back of the wardrobe or are you like me and wear them in the evening with your PJ bottoms? Time to dust them off and wear them with your smart looks..fashion could not get any comfier!!

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