The Peplum Craze

It seems like every corner i turn, i see peplum, it is a key trend this season and i absolutely love it. It is a piece that literally everyone can wear for any occassion, and it is flattering for both curvy and slim ladies.

One of the things i love the most about peplum is it's versatility, the flow between formal to casual, exaggerated to a 'touch of pep', sexy to sohpisticated, with peplum you can do anything and go anywhere.

Here is how I've worn my peplum bits in the past and a few peplum pieces available from high street stores and online.

Are you guys sold on peplum? does it have the yay or nay factor for you?

The Outfit Diaries : London Fashion Week

Day 1 : I chose a somewhat understated & almost business like look for the start of fashion week, mainly becuase i had to attend a meeting later in the day which was unrelated to fashion and didn't want to alarm anyone.

I have always loved anything peplum, it is very feminine and does wonders for ladies with curves, so naturally when i found this skirt on the Warehouse sale rail for £5, i snapped it right up with more than a smile.

Day 2: I decided to jazz things up a bit and what better way to do this than with this gorgeous Jacquard skirt from Asos Revive, worn with a high neck crop top also from Asos.

It was great to meet up with Henrietta of Henessys Beauty blog whom i went to college with and haven't seen since, lots of catching up on life, fashion and everything in between,  i also met promise and Wunmi for the first time too.

In the evening i headed off to my friend Chichi's Birthday party, for this i wore a gorgeous ultra feminine lace pencil skirt from Warehouse with a denim shirt to dress it down a bit. I think the denim shirt is an absolute God send to every wardrobe, i find that it works well with almost every fashion item, I've definitely got my money's worth from this shirt and would recommend it.

Day 4: It was a bit breezy on this day but i still felt like wearing shorts, so i simply wore it with tights. To be honest, not much thought went into putting this outfit, it is a very simple and quick look that can be replicated any day.

And There Was SUN

Last week was warm warm warm, we had gloriously sunny weather in the UK, i think we peaked at 28 degrees or even higher in some places :)

This obviously meant that everyone was out in force in the least amount of clothing possible without exposing their privates, and i am NOT exaggerating!!!!! I wish my camera was taking pictures of what my eyes were being subjected to!
