What's your ideal pair of jeans?

There's so many different styles and colours of jeans out there at the moment it can be hard to find a pair that are ideal for you. In this post I'm going to show you and selection of five of the most popular style of jean at the moment and the perfect ways to style them and when to wear them.

1. Skinny

Topshop dark denim skinny jeans £59
Jack Wills stretch skinny jeans £52
J Brand mid-rise jeans £47

As the Guardian states the skinny jean is 'the fashion trend that refuses to die' therefore it's important have at least one quality pair of skinny jeans that will last you over the years because this trend is not going anywhere any time soon! For me, Topshop skinny jeans are perfection, they're super comfortable, come in a range of colours and last a really long time. The skinny jean suits almost every body shape and goes with any outfit, they're the idea pair of jeans!

2. Super High-Waisted

Topshop high rise skinny jeans £38
American Apparel black slim fit jeans  £60

Ok, now I can talk about how much I love super high waisted jeans forever and ever, I simply adore them. These jeans are perfect for shorter girls with a bit of a tummy they would like to keep a secret as these jean can suck in your stomach whilst still being super comfortable. I own 2 pairs of the Topshop Joni jeans and they're my go to jeans as they can be worn with crop tops, regular length tops and jumpers. Super high waisted jeans and a crop top is always effortlessly stylish.

3. Boyfriend

River Island ripped jeans £40

To most people the Boyfriend jean can look very scary, they slightly scare me too. They're super baggy on the legs especially if you're used to wearing skinny jeans 24/7 and are low-rise jeans. Finding the perfect boyfriend jeans for your body shape is very trial and error however once you find them styling them is easy and they look perfect with a simply over sized t-shirt or tighter fitting crop top and show in the Kylie Jenner Style Inspiration post. They're super comfortable as they're baggy on the leg and can create a super laid back, relaxed look.

4. Mom

BDG relaxed fit jeans £48

Mom jeans are very similar to boyfriend jeans as they have a 90's vibe however they're high waisted unlike the boyfriend jean which is the reason i much prefer them. Mom jeans look perfect with a tight cropped top and little black booties and are on of the reasons I loved the 90's trend so much this past year and I intend to wear mom jeans for a very long time.

5. Flared

Over the past week this particular style of jeans has started to take over my blog as the 70's are back!

Flared jeans may seem super unusual right now but keep your eyes open because they're going to be seen worn everywhere as they're back for 2015. In my opinion, out of all the different style of jeans these are the 'smartest' and they do tend to look more formal especially dark-washed flared jeans which I suppose is a plus because you can get away with wearing jeans to work! They are low-rise so aren't perfect for you high-waisted lover like me and hey, why not step out your comfort zone and give it a go?

What's your favourite style of jean?

Paris 2014: part 2

 Day 2: Champs Elysees, Arc de Triomphe and 'Love lock' bridge
On the second day of our trip we did a lot of walking and went to quite a few places around the city. First off we hopped on the train and went to the Champs Elysees. The Champs Elysees, incase you didn't know, is a very busy avenue in the heart of Paris bordered with an array of shops from the Disney store to Cartier.

Waiting for the train

On the walk from the train station to the Champs Elysees we took a small detour to see the Arc de Triomphe, a very popular sight to see when going to Paris. In order to get to the Arc de Triomphe you have to go underground to this incredible tunnel with information written on the walls which makes a great read. You can actually go inside the Arc de Triomphe however we were so excited to rush off to the Champs Elysees we gave it a miss and went on our way.

Arc de Triumph

When arriving on the extremely busy Champs Elysees street performers amongst the massive crowds of tourists coming in and out of the array of shops. We didn't really intend on shopping even though there was a vast amount of shops around us, we just wanted to walk around and take in our surroundings.

Next we visited the very famous 'Love-Lock' bridge and saw the thousands of locks with initials and dates across them from when others had visited. It was really sweet to see all the locks placed on with love from people from all across the world.

The 70's are back!

Hey guys,

So all throughout last year you saw the boyfriend and mom jeans return along with the turtle neck tops as the 90s trend took over. Well,  Spring/Summer 2015 is all about the 70's and I'm going to show you cheap, easy and stylish ways to incorporable this up and coming trend to your wardrobe.

1. Flared Trousers

Flared trousers are iconic to the 70's and now is your time to grab a pair and strut your stuff.They look great with a pair of ankle boots and can add sophistication to an outfit whilst still being super comfy, they don't always have to be denim, you can get suede or even cotton flared trousers! In this selection below I adore the grey, comfier option from Topshop and the pocket detailing on the Oasis pair is so cute!

2. Dungarees/Overalls

Dungarees and overalls are so easy to wear and can quickly make a super chic, relaxed outfit. Dungarees and overalls can look scary to try and pull off  but why not give it a go, you may just love them. They're so easy to just pop on and can make a super chic outfit without even trying! Again, like the trousers, they don't have to only be denim you can easily bag yourself suede dungarees or silk or cotton overalls for a comfier option.

3. Statement florals

The 70's are know for statement florals whether you're talking about wallpaper or fashion is another thing. Florals always find a way to crop up in Spring and Summer but now they coming in with a bang, so let go of the all black outfits and add in a floral splash. Adding a statement floral piece to an outfit can get you right on trend this season and give you a glow of confidence. I simply adore the floral maxi dress shown below as it mixes both florals and bohemian, paired with the right accessories   and a high wavy ponytail will set you up perfectly for this spring/summer.
