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?

 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?
