My Collectif Spring And Summer Wish List!

One thing about Collectif that I have to warn you all about............

BUYING THEIR CLOTHES BECOMES ADDICTIVE!

It's no secret how much I love their clothes and I can't wait for you all to see some of the new pictures I took wearing my latest Collectif purchase (post is coming for that one real soon). The new spring and summer collection is just amazing! I love the different looks and prints available and I already have my eye on a few bits! Here are the items in my wish list!

Hopefully I'll be able to pick up a few of them before they all sell out. I can already think of when and where I might want to wear some of these gorgeous items and with a holiday hopefully on the horizon I hope to try some of these out overseas too.

Here's my spring and summer wish list:

Marina Jumper £29.50

Carmen Lace Skirt - Was £65 Now £49.50

There are so many more amazing items to come and many of them aren't even on the site yet! Here are some of the others catching my eye:

Kathryn Polka Dot Dress

Jemima Stripped Doll Dress

Dorothy Tulle Floral Swing Dress

Viviene Lace Pencil Dress

Bernadette Sailor Blazer, Wendy Sailor Blouse & Bernadette Sailor Trousers

There are so many amazing looks to pick from, casual, dressy, sexy and sassy and of course they all come with the vintage flair! No doubt I'm not the only one who will be filling their wardrobe with some of the new collection this summer. If you've checked out the collection yourself please drop me a message and let me know what you have your eye on.

Fashion World - Liz McClarnon Swimwear Range Launch Party

One thing we ladies enjoy, seeing the arrival of a new clothing line!

When I got invited to the launch of the new line by Liz McClarnon for Fashion World I sent in my RSVP pretty quickly. The former Attomic Kitten has come up with a swimwear collection for the brand and from what I saw there are some really nice pieces in the collection. The thing that's great about this collection is that there is something to suit pretty much everyone and the sizes range from 12-32.

Me and Liz (Excuse my after work look, Liz looked stunning I loved her Tiki Dress!)

What better place to have a Swimwear launch party than a Tiki Bar complete with ladies in grass skirts, men doing tribal dances and free-flowing cocktails?! The first drink I ordered was the coconut special named after Liz. They were even serving this one in full size pineapples!...

The collection is full of cute patterns and prints with a mature and sweet style that would work in any holiday destination on any local swimming baths. 

Take a look for yourself:

My favourites out of the collection are the 2 black swimdresses. I love the cute daises on the bust line for one of them and the flamingos on the other.

After a lot of entertainment and coctails myself and the girls had a good catch up and even managed to snap a few pictures:

Magnificent 7th - Sport Relief

The 7th day in every month is a day that the bloggers are challenged to follow a theme and come up with a creative idea around the theme. This month the theme is: Sport Relief.

When I thought about this theme several things came to mind. I thought about the cheerleaders you see on the sidelines dressed to impressed doing their cute and athletic dance routines. The girls you see at the boxing games or car shows in their cute and tight fitting outfits.... I quickly realised I have nothing in my wardrobe that might work with those ideas so then I got to thinking, 'what else can I do?' I don't own any interesting Jersey's for my favourite team or player so I ended up going for something related to my favourite form of exercise.

I love to swim it is one of those things I have always loved to do and I never get bored of. I could spend all day in the water be it at my local swimming baths or at the beach. 

I recently bought a swimdress from Evans which hugs my curves and hangs just perfectly! With a little added support for my bust. What more could you want? Something that makes you look good that can be used for exercise and lounge-wear on the beach. I also purchased a Kaftan to wear with this one so that should I end up at the beach on a rather windy day I can get a little more coverage.

With this one I may need a wrap or a cinch belt as I wouldn't want to end up in a Monroe moment at the beach should a gust of wind pick up speed. The Kaftan is completely open at the sides which makes it a one size fits all garment. It is so light and flowing that it's perfect as a cover up on a sunny day. I personally would like that added security with it though.

Check out some of the interesting ideas that some of the other bloggers had for this theme:
