I've been sick as a dog lately, which is a damn shame considering so much has been going on that I've been itching to write about. With my birthday just recently passed I have a ton of new products to show you, so get ready for that! Here are some items I've been lusting after and I think this might be my favourite 'picks' post yet.
Now this dress is something to behold. After being on the site for just a few days it's already low in stock, and the price has risen about $10 since it's release (due to it's popularity me thinks?) I fell in love with it straight away and regret not jumping on the chance to purchase it when the sale was on. The asymmetric hem and fall of the dress gives it a Grecian style while remaining modern in khaki.
Although down here in the Southern hemisphere we're drifting into Autumn everywhere else gets to welcome Spring, and with Spring comes light, floating dresses and soft colours. A kimono is a classic piece for any Spring Child's wardrobe, versatile for anytime day wear and a key for festivals. Ditch the garish colours this year and head for the lightly oriental styles with this off-white and china blue match.
Espirit Lightweight Poncho, $57.32 ASOS
I don't quite understand the culotte trend and to be honest I hadn't heard of the garment until a short while ago. Although I'm incredibly thankful for it's arrival as I've been stuck with the choice of shorts or skinny jeans on sunny days, neither of which I'm thrilled about. Culottes are perfect for those days you want to cover up but not sweat your ass off. Another thing I learnt is that culottes are fantastic for petite girls, yipee! Opt for the ones that hang just under your knees in a block colour, but obviously have fun with it.
Selected Riva Culottes, $138.36 ASOS
One of the few things that gets me motivated to workout is buying gym gear. I heard from a fellow blogger that Oysho do some pretty chic and well-made gym wear. A bit of a sneak peak later and I've added a ton more items to my wishlist, dammit. Sometimes you just want some amazing leggings right? But without the shitty galaxy print or boring monotone colours. Vibrant green palm tree leaves should do the trick and remind you what you're working out for.
Combined Cropped Print Leggings, £25.99 Oysho
In my March Picks post I had a couple of duster coats floating about, as you can see here nothing has changed, I'm still swooning after the Kylie Jenner staple. My recent searches have found me another petite beauty, the stone coloured long duster from ASOS. Being petite I often worry about, well, looking short ironically. Although you'd assume a longer coast wouldn't suit a smaller size finding the right fit can do wonders.
ASOS Petite Exclusive Long Line Duster Jacket, $118.59 ASOS
Vertical stripes are great for elongating the body, the problem is at the moment horizontal lines are on trend, not very forgiving for those not blessed with Rhianna's legs, or body for that matter. However this drop back sun dress is perfect for those scorching days at the beach. With adjustable halter neck straps you needn't worry about the fit, any hey, here for once is a short dress that looks, and stays damn well short.
ASOS Petite Exclusive Stripe Sun Dress, $59.30 ASOS
Hey look, a bag big enough for your purse, phone, laptop, diary, folder, lunch, make-up and anything else you're bound to carry. I have a love/hate relationship with handbags, primarily due to their impractical designs, you'll never catch me in the classic Gucci's. Check this one out, it has incredible storage space without looking clunky on your body. And the pure black leather design keeps it bang on trend.
ASOS Leather Double Zip Bag, $108.71 ASOS
Ahh, I am in love. I'm not normally a body hugging dress kind of person, or a mini dress person, or a floral person, but I'm glad it's this one, if any, that blew my judgements out of the water. The perfect formal wear dress it's suitable for dinners, weddings and prom (don't steal my idea). It's made of lightweight silky fabric and an open back, hello Spring. What else can be said?
Tiger Mist Petite Red Bloom Mini Dress With Strappy Back, $84.99 ASOS
It's been a while before I've seen a gym bag I like, one that looks strong enough to carry everything, not one of those drawstrings pieces of crap. Oysho is back again with the only bag you'll ever need for working out. You'll probably find yourself taking it everywhere, on weekends, sleepovers or even to work if you have a big day. As I saw one blogger write; this is what gym wear would look like if Zara designed some.
