Maxi fever

Maybe it's because I'm having some serious thigh issues at the moment (or should that be serious cupcake issues? It's close to an addiction.), or the wide range of designs available, but I feel like it's time for me to buy a great summer maxi.


I can't see any disadvantage: they look effortlessly cool even without accessories, there's NO issues with flashing, and they flatter everyone!


Here are some of my favourite looks on celebrities:

I do love a bit of tie-dye, and these maxi dress looks cool and summery, and suits Lauren and Vanessa's petite frames. Simple, wavy hair and a pendant necklace emphasize the simplicity of the look.

Hayden Panettiere proves that maxi dresses can suit short girls! Plain gladiators make for a casual, relaxed outfit.

The paisley print and long sleeves make for a 70s style hippy dress, with a waist tie to add definition.

However us normal people can also get a piece of the action, for a fraction of the price:

I love the Hawaiian-style print on this dress from Topshop for a very reasonable £30!

This is a sleek, pretty design: I love the lace detail around the neckline. From Oasis at Asos, £50.

Another Oasis creation,with a 70s look similar to Nicole Richie's style. I love the bluey-purple colour scheme, so I will definitely be picking this up the second I have £80 to spare :o

Peace out!

I know I have a mild (ok, more than mild) obsession with Fearne Cotton but I can't help it: I love her rock, vintage style. Also, I love how she's made it big without being stunningly beautiful.
Anyway, when I first heard about her clothing line on Very some time last year I was reaaally excited! And rightly so, because there are so many gorgeous things ! And it's not even too expensive. Here's some of the new collection.
A simple bag that still makes a statement, thanks to the tassels. And I love love love grey at the moment (as boring as that is!) It's £25, so buy now!

This is a gorgeous vintage-style dress, and I love the collar on this one! Unfortunately, at £59 it's just out of my price range, but it's sooo worth the slight splurge.

These jeans will REALLY not suit me: the colour's too light, and the rips and studs will highlight all the wrong parts of my legs, but I can't help loving them. So brilliantly grungey! These would look great with a fancy top, or maybe something floaty and floral to balance out the grunge. £35.

I really like brogues: I got a pair of black ones for Christmas and I wear them all the time, because they just look great with pretty much everything! White ones may not be quite as practical, but they'll look good in summer as well with lovely floaty summer dresses.

What I like the most about this unicorn t-shirt is what Very describes as 'burnt out jersey', which is one of my current fashion fetishes! £20

This beanie looks great on Fearne, and it really does suit loads of hairstyles. It's such a vibrant colour as well, so it's perfect for the transition from Winter to Spring and it's only £14!

And while we're on the subject of clothes (not sure what else I'd be talking about!) I'm going to Egypt this half term (in about 3 weeks) and it's a Muslim country, so I'll be needed a maxi dress. Hmmm not a good look for an extremely short person, and also due to the whole snow situation, not many stores have stocked up on their summer dresses! So far, my favourite is this lovely number from Miss Selfridge for £38, because of the gold embellishments at the top and bottom. However, ideally I'm looking for something a bit cheaper. So if any of you know a less mainstream shop that might have some beauties please let me know! Thanks, love you all! xxx
