OOTD: LAZY DAY
Jumper: H&M | Jeans: Topshop | Creepers: Underground
You may have seen that I have worn this jumper in a previous outfit post (here), but I can't stop wearing it as it's the most comfiest thing ever! Super soft - perfect for a lazy day like I've had today. I paired it with my Topshop Joni Jeans as they are stretchy and easy to lounge around in. Off to the post office now to post some jewellery orders I've had, then coming back to get into bed and finish writing my essay.
Check out my etsy store: HerSmallTreasures
What are you up too today? I'm sure its a lot more entertaining than essay writing!

PASTEL WISHLIST
Maxi Dress | Pink Heels | Yellow Bag | Floral Necklace | Mint Cropped Bike Jacket | Blue High Waisted Trousers | Mint Skort | Yellow Co-ord (top) (bottoms)
I was putting together a fashion wish list without realising everything I was adding to it was of a pastel shade! I've always loved pastel colours as they're so easy to incorporate into a girly look, a grungy one, a boho one and so on - the opportunities are endless! As its Spring/Summer now its no shock that all the shops are full of pastel items as its kind of the go-to trend each year.
I have a few weddings coming up in the summer and the Zara heels would go so nicely with outfits that I have planned (I will add them to the blog nearer the time!) and the yellow co-ord is just perfection, the cut and shape of it looks so nice on the model!
What do you think of the pastel trend?

NEW BUYS: H&M HAUL
I thought I would share the new items I picked up in H&M recently. I felt that I had way too many trousers, playsuits, etc. but not enough dresses and girly pieces of clothing in my wardrobe, so I went on a hunt around town for some cute items to add to my wardrobe and came back with only H&M purchases!
The two dresses on the left and the right in the top image are both the same style just different patterns (both daisy prints of course!) They are perfect for layering underneath and onto with long shirts and jumpers or on their own when the sun decides to come out for good.
I saw the white crotchet dress and immediately needed it! It isn't the normal waistline on a dress that I go for, however it is just as flattering I think and will be perfect for my holiday this summer!
Lastly the skirt I saw on my way to the checkout and thought it was dead cute, the material is quite light and you won't stand much chance of keeping it down if theres windy weather however the floral print is perfect for spring and again for layering with jumpers/tights/etc. I think it will be worn just as much when winter comes along.
What do you think of H&M's new summer items?

MY 5 GO-TO SPRING NAIL COLOURS
Following my recent post 'MY 5 GO-TO SPRING LIP COLOURS' I thought I would share with you My 5 Go-To Nail Colours that I have been using now that it's springtime.
(From left to right)
Rimmel Lycra Pro '312 Ultra Violet'
NYC in a minute nails '294 Lexington Yellow'
Topshop Nails - I've lost the name of this colour but I am sure there are similar ones available!
Barry M Nail Paint 'Strawberry Ice Cream'
Sinful Colours '952 Hazard'
Barry M Nail Paint 'Mint Green'
The pictures have come out a lot darker than I had hoped, as the nail colours look a lot lighter and pastel-like in reality. However, besides that I love changing up my nails colours for each season to accessorise my outfits. I think springtime is the season that you can really go wild with nail colours and nail art, as its a bright, cheery, floral time!
What colours have you been using this Spring?

OOTD: CREAM & BLACK
Jumper: H&M | Shorts: H&M | Bag: Primark | Socks: Primark | Dr Martens: The Doc Shop | Rings: Accessorize
Its that annoying part of the year in England where its too warm to wrap up but still too cold to go out in next to nothing. I managed to find a medium by layering an oversized jumper over some shorts with long socks so I'm still snug as a bug but cool as a cucumber! Its such a casual yet grunge-y look, thanks to the docs, which is my favourite kind of vibe to go for. I recently got my hair cut a lot shorter than I have had for years and Im really liking how a top knot works with the length of my hair now, and its super quick to do which saves me time in the mornings rather than taming long locks all the time!

TREND: TROPICALS
Tropical Bikini | Floral Chain | Tropical Crop Top | Tropical Bodycon Dress | Parakeet Necklace | Tropical Tote Bag | Tropical Platforms
All I'm seeing in stores, magazine, online is topical prints - some are beautiful, some tacky, but hey! Here I've put together a few items that I have seen and absolutely love that have tropical patterns or have a tropical vibe. Styling a few printed items with some plain staple pieces works well to get that balance between being well dressed and looking like you got dressed in the dark. For example styling the tropical crop top above with some white skinny jeans and a denim shirt for a casual look or loose the shirt and add some platforms for a dressier occasion.
What do you think of the tropical trend?
