I WANT CANDY

Waking up with the sun shining through the window can only mean Spring has finally arrived. Although in England we know fully well it won't be long until the rain returns, there's no harm making the most of the sun while we can. This means baring our pale arms and legs hoping to get the slightest amount of Vitamin D to our skin. It was time to dust off our sunglasses and leave the house without clutching a coat and scarf. 

Spring has always been my favourite season for fashion. I am in love with pastel colours and colourful garments. Mix and matching colours is always a great way to make fashion fun and always gets me into a summery mood. For this outfit I decided to match yellow and navy together to contrast the lightness and darkness of the two colours. Although matching colours in outfits must be completed with caution, it doesn't mean you have to stick to similar colours. It can be light with dark, pastel with bold or two complete different bright colours together. It will mean lots of experimenting but who doesn't love a little fashion show in our bedrooms! A small brown belt was added to the navy skater skirt to break up the two colours. For the rest of the outfit I decided to use neutral colours as I feel more colour would become too much. Pink shoes, bag and sunglasses completed the outfit while sticking to the colourful theme.

LONDON FASHION WEEK

London Fashion Week is one of our favourite events that we always look forward to. A week dedicated to fashion, models and catwalks is our idea of heaven. As well as this, an additional weekend is added onto the end of LFW for even more fashion. This week witnessed the bold, the bright and Kellogg's cereal brands (We're not kidding, check out Anya Hindmarch AW14 collection). Being a big fan of sequins, one of our personal favourites was a collection designed by Zeyne Kartal. We also fell in love with Ashley Williams collection while watching the models strut down the catwalk. 

All in all we both wished that we could afford all the clothes we saw on the catwalks. We can also safely say that designers defiantly thought outside the box when it came to inspiration this season. Above are a few snaps that we took during both London Fashion Week and London Fashion Weekend. Now all we have to do is wait until September to do it all over again.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well here it is, our last post of 2013. As its New Years Eve today, there is only one thing that's on my mind ... what party dress do I wear tonight? As there isn't a week that goes past where I don't party at least one night of the week, I need to wear something extra special tonight. This dress was a great find in a Miss Selfridge sale while shopping in Newcastle a few months ago. This only cost me £9 which I think is an amazing bargain. I love the lace detail all over the dress and discretely shows a bit of extra skin on the back. The sleeves keep me warm as I walk to each club while keeping me looking fabulous. To complete the outfit I make sure I add lots of sparkles in my rings and clutch bag.

Here at Elle Petite we're excited to see what 2014 brings us so we need to start next year with a bang. Being known as a notorious party animal since my college days (and don't worry I'm still going strong) there's only one way I'm bring in the new year. On that note I must run, there is a bottle of Tequila at my friend's house with my name on it. Ready everyone ... SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!
