The Friday Girl's Picks: Florals

We all know that florals are always big for spring, but this year, florals have gone bold! There's not a ditzy print to be seen and I am loving it. Check out my picks for the best bold spring florals around.

The Friday Girl: How To Wear Leather in Your 20s

This is the third and final in the how to wear leather series, this week, your 20s. Now I'm in my 20s and this is a personal favourite outfit of mine. Leather with camo and denim is just a dreamy combination for me and paired with white basics such as a t-shirt and Converse it's the perfect running around outfit, stylish and casual.

This dark wash denim shirt is a perfect layering addition to your outfit and camo is a great alternative to blue denim. This is a fab Whistles real leather jacket and at £350 it's a real investment piece. You can get some amazing faux-leather jackets on the high-street for a lot less so don't let the price put you off trying this look out!

The Friday Girl: How To Wear Leather In Your 40s.

Leather has been huge for the past few seasons and it doesn't seem to be going away. If you don't think you can pull it off because of your shape or age, think again and see if you fancy trying any of these outfits. Leather doesn't have to mean racy Victoria Beckham videos or too tight trousers, it can mean chic and classic.

The Leather Skater Skirt:

This is fab for pear shapes with hang-ups about their legs and bum as this skater skirt will skim over the problem areas. Is also a really good length for late 30s-40s who may feel that they can no longer where the mini length but don't want to cover up completely! This is a great date night outfit or adding a blazer and a bigger handbag could be a swish office look.

The Friday Girl's Picks; Brand Focus: Whistles

This week, I thought I'd do a little bit of a brand focus post inspired by a recent shopping trip that we took in prep for Bristol Fashion Week. Emmeline and I were in John Lewis and were totally wowed by the new Whistles collection. They seem to have just got everything right this season and I could have literally bought everything. Here are a few of my favourite picks.

Red Mara Dress
Camo Print Sweat Dress
Triple Stacker Rings
Small White Pouch
Pink Limited Calf Corine Clutch

Leopard Print Sculptured Top
Runway Look: Navy Slate Print Top

I absolutely love the cut and the drape of Whistles clothes, that classic boxy shift dress or top is one of my staple shapes in my wardrobe and they always hit it bang on. I also love their clutches, they always look so sharp and well made. 

Bristol Fashion Week is fast approaching and it's going to be 4 days of busy busy bees for us here at The image Consulting Company. Make sure that you come and see us at The Mall Cribbs Causeway from Thursday to Sunday, we'll be talking style, trends and what colours and shapes suit your body.
