Bleached Denim Waistcoat - Yours Clothing £28.00 £18.00* White Dipped Hem 'Beautiful' T-Shirt - Yours Clothing £12.00* Peach & Pink Floral Bird Scarf - Yours Clothing £7.00  Necklace - Tiffany Heart Tag Pendant £130 Navy Blue Skinny Jeans  - Yours Clothing £25.00 (no longer available, similar style)  White Lace Up Plimsoles - New Look £7.99 Days in the park, sleeveless jackets and ankles on show can only mean one thing, summer is here!  This is an outfit I wore last Sunday, its super casual and slightly out of my comfort zone but I really enjoyed wearing it.  It was the perfect Sunday outfit, really chilled and comfortable but have to say I was slightly disappointed with the photographs.  They made me feel a little self conscious especially about my legs but then I came to think, who cares that my legs look a bit chunkier than normal in these jeans, I felt good and like the way they fit.  I think clothes are all about feeling good in them and who cares what other people may think, their opinion is irrelevant if you feel good! I love the way this t- shirt fits and the sleeves have a slight puff making them more flattering on my arms, the slight sipped hem is also super flattering and sits lovely at the back.  I haven't worn a T-shirt like this in years but have loads of ideas what I could wear this with, because of the pink detailing even wearing it with a pair of simple skinny jeans looks slightly more girly than a plain white top.   Denim jackets are my new 'thing' I have two at the moment and would not think twice about buying another, they just go with everything.  I have been wearing this one more often recently now the weather is nicer with literally everything, might even be getting to the point that people might think it's the only jacket I own, its just so easy to wear!  Expect to see this is many of my summer outfit posts, this is definitely one of my summer staples. These skinny jeans are actually the first pair of jeans I had bought in years, I got them in the spring in the Yours Clothing Sale and absolutely love them.  I hadn't had a pair of jeans fit me this well in years, I have completely over worn them but they still look as good as the first time because they wash so well.    I think its always the same when you find something you are comfortable in, I even started buying things to match 'my favourite jeans'.  High Five to Yours Clothing for making me feel comfortable in a pair of jeans for the first time in a very long time. I have noticed that my style recently has been getting a lot more casual, don't get me wrong I still love my skirts and dresses but I have found myself being drawn more to trousers and shorts, I wonder if it's a body confidence thing, because I am happier with my body do I feel better wearing certain things? *This post contains a couple of items gifted to me for review purposes, as always this does not influence my honest opinions, these items are marked with a *

 If there is one thing I love about this time of year it is the build up to Easter Weekend, in my family it's always been a time where we all get together more so than any other time of the year, its special to me. Being a predominantly Muslim country, Morocco does not widely celebrate Easter and boy am I missing the hype.  There are no easter eggs in shops, there are no bunny or chick inspired clothing, nothing.  So I thought I would make up for it by showing you all what my perfect Easter Weekend would consist of, starting with my outfit.

I love this Jumper from Yours Clothing, its novelty without being tacky and styling it with a pair of jeans just keeps it simple and the focus still being on the bunny.  I decided to play on the pink of the bunny's bow for lips, nails and necklace to add some more colour plus pastels are very on trend at the moment.  Tanya Burr's First Date Lipgloss is fast becoming my favourite lip product at the moment, I will be reviewing it in full very soon so all I will say is the colour is a very subtle pink and super glossy while still being super pigmented.  I love the name of this OPI polish, Chic from Ears to Tail, I thought it was very fitting with a bunny themed outfit.  I always wear shoes like these Vans when im at home because my Granny's house is in the countryside so I have to be practical, these wouldn't stay white for very long though.  I have decided I need this Topshop backpack, it's perfect, end of discussion.  One of my favourite pieces that makes up this Easter inspired outfit is the ring, this is from a collection by Brighton based jewellery designer Jon Forster.  The attention to detail is esquisite, clearly displaying his extensive knowledge of design as well as his love for nature.  As every piece is handmade to order these don't come cheap but you would expect something with such detail and craftmanship to have a hefty pricetag.

This outfit is super casual because for me, Easter Weekend is about spending time with family at my Granny's.  I love Easter Egg hunts in the local forest, scavenger hunts in the garden and egg painting competitions within the family.  You can see what I got up to last year, in my Easter Weekend in Scotland post, beware though it contains the biggest Easter egg collection in the world!

What are your plans for Easter Weekend this year?

Ladies, don't we spend at least half of our lives searching for the perfect Little Black Dress to suit our body shapes, okay that was a slight exaggeration but it sure feels like it sometimes.  Everytime I trail the high street looking for a new dress I always try to get something with a bit of colour and purchase from a different high street store, the success rate for this is currently non existent.  I always end up back in the store I can trust, New Look and in a colour I can trust, black.  When they contacted me to get involved with part of their latest campaign The Little Black Dress I accepted without a second thought. 

The little black dress is an iconic part of fashion, everyone knows what the letters  LBD stand for and every lady I know has one in her wardrobe.  The great thing about a little black dress is the style can be completely personalised to everyone's unique body shapes.  I have a couple of outfit posts coming up very soon with two of my favourite LBD's ever, very soon, you will not be surprised to know one of them is from New Look.  However today I want to share with you my most admired pieces, from my favourite high street store at the moment, as the ones I have are sadly no longer available online or in store.  By pushing the boundaries as to what shapes suits each body type, I have discovered four dress styles from the New Look Inspire SS14 range, that I feel are very versatile.

I just want to put it out there that from much deliberation and research I believe I have an hourglass figure.  I have come to this conclusion as my body is in quite good proportion large bust, large bum and thighs and smaller waist and décolletage.  I am slightly above the UK average size 14-16. Ranging from a 14-16-18 on top with a 38F bust and a 16-18-20 on my bottom half but it completely depends on where I am shopping.

 The Skater Dress is one of my favourite styles of dresses, the fitted waist and skirt that flares out into an A-line silhouette (reminiscent of a figure skating outfit—hence the name!), are just so flattering on my shape and comfortable to wear.  I like that they extenuate my waist, magically making my chest look more lifted and hide my problem tummy area whilst sitting just below my bottom.  Sometimes the length of skater dresses can be a little too short for me and everytime I bend down you can just about see my bum, although slightly cheeky I always have tights on so it doesn't look ridiculous and I am decently covered.  They say Skater Dresses are best suited to pear shapes or tall ladies but I love the way these sit on me, I would say they are suitable for all body shapes.

Now this one makes me feel slightly less comfortable, the Mini Dress.  Only recently have I even considered wearing a dress of this shape because all you ever read is that Mini Dresses are for small and petite woman, two things I have never been.  Well I disagree, give me a good piece of shape wear and I'll gladly get into one of these tighter shapes.  A Mini Dress with long sheer sleeves was my outfit of choice on Christmas Eve 2013 and I felt so feminine, sexy and sophisticated, yes you can be all three of these things at the same time,  don't worry I will be featuring it here in the future.

Emma Millard from Meet the Millards  was the lady who convinced me to try a Swing Dress for the first time, she wears a lot of these on her you tube channel and always looks so well put together and her curvy shape is dressed to perfection.  Being honest when I seen these on the high street I used to just walk past them, expecting them to make my curvy figure look shapeless.  It was a welcome surprise the day I eventually tried one on, they are incredibly flattering on my least favourite areas, bum, tum and thighs.  Swing Dresses are normally recommended to those with more of an apple body shape but I have seen them on many different shapes and sizes and love how flattering they are on.

Maxi Dresses are 'my thing' at the moment, especially this type that the creators behind the Inspire Plus Size Range have embraced.  Normally I wouldn't count a Maxi dress as a classic Little Black Dress but because these have the tighter under layer and a sheer outer layer I think they can pass for one.  I wore one very similar, from the Tokyo Doll range available from New Look, last weekend as I enjoyed a couple of days luxury break at Sofitel Essouira, Morocco.  I felt like a modern day Grecian goddess with a tiny bit of sex appeal but appropriately covered being in a Muslim country.  More commonly shorter girls with boyish figures suit Maxi Dresses the most as it gives the illusion of a more feminine silhouette.  The sheer long outer fabric of this dress makes it much more suitable for most body shapes, making shape of Maxi Dresses are the perfect in my opinion, I hope they stay on trend for a while.

I now have the difficult task of which dress I should choose to spend my vouchers on, Which one of these dresses catch your eye the most?
