Dress c/o ASOS (shop their new ‘Occasion offering HERE‘) | ASOS Earrings | Jeans (in black HERE) | Zara Slides (another option in black HERE ) Easter is just around the corner which means that wedding season, yes I said those words, and baby shower season/wine tasting season, etc is just around the corner. The moral of the story: it’s time to start stockpiling event-ready dresses.

When it comes to jewelry trends there has been 1 specific trend dominating the runways for the past two seasons: Statement Earrings.

London Volume 1: Shoreditch, Banksy and a Denim Boilersuit
Oh London! How I adore you! In this first edition of reviewing my London travels I wanted to talk about Shoreditch, a hip part of East London that is oozing with style. We only had the privilege of spending an afternoon here but I am sure I could have spend an entire week there.
