Get the look - Ecuador!

It would be silly of me to be posting exactly the same as if I was still in England and not take advantage of all the culture and inspiration around me that I will most likely never experience again. So today my style crush is the country I´m currently in - Ecuador! 

The Ecuadorians womens traditional dress is closest to the Inca clothing than any other area of the Andes. Lashings of gold and beads are layered over loose blouses and shawls.

Urban Outfitters Sun + Sky Lookbook






 I think the letters that best describe the noise I made when I first stumbled across this lookbook was 'urrrhhhaaa.' Offically obsessed!!!
I´ve been looking for clothes like these for YEARS. Two years and eleven months to be exact, which was when I saw Vanessa Hudgens at the 2011 Coachella festival in that outfit. That crochet flower top and cut off shorts had me scouring the internet for days for similar tops and now, finally, nearly 3 months later, I´ve found not only the Vanessa top I´ve been dreaming about, but other incredible crochet and festival/beach inspired pieces. Take a look at my favourites...
Sorry the prices are in dollars, I´m doing this from Ecuador!

The crochet top similar to Vanessas ($39)

 
1. Bucket bag $68
2. Off the shoulder romper $69
3. Crochet tank top $69
4. Halter bikini $69
5. Loose white dress $89
6. Cuff bracelets $58 
7. Turquoise ring $18

Is there anything wrong with printed trousers?


Is there anything wrong with printed trousers?
They can be worn casual or smart, in winter and in summer, to a special occasion or just shopping. They look good in any colour, material, print and on any body type, but most importantly, they´re so comfy!! 

Drool over these with me if you will...

A new kind of sandal

Spring/Summer has hit the stores and usually this would incur longing and whining about the long wait for summer and the summer clothes it brings with it. But luckily theres a summer trend that we can rock now. Thanks to the 90s revival currently happening, socks and sandals, the ultimate fashion sin, has now become a fashion WIN (please excuse me).

Socks and sandals go well with any outfit and can turn a blah look into a wow look. Plain dresses, shorts and a tee can instantly be transformed into a really cool outfit. Choose black fishnet socks if you really want to stand out! Here our some of my favourite picks of the highstreet currently available!
