The Friday Girl's Picks: Summer Raincoats!

This might not be what you want to hear, but today, it's raining. We all know that in Britain, good old Blighty, we get a bit of rain every now and again! So, to keep all our lovely clothes dry and stop us getting soggy, occasionally we'll need a coat! I've trawled the net and found a lovely little selection of raincoats perfect for the summer months and great if you're heading off to any festivals too! 

1. ASOS Henna Print

10 of The Best Summer Night Out Tops

Even though it's coming to summer, we still need a lovely selection of evening wear, something that we often pair with Christmas parties and the like. When it comes to Summer evening wear, long sleeves and thicker fabrics are gone which can be daunting for some of us who like to cover up! 

Here's a lovely little selection of 10 of the best evening and night out tops suitable for partying those summer nights away, whatever your body shape! Click here for all the links to the pieces.

1. Strappy Topshop Cami 

This is perfect for straight up and down or smaller busted girls, perfectly pretty and would look fab with skinny jeans and some bright heels. 

2. Debenhams Draped Top

This pretty cornflower blue colour is lovely for the summer and the clever draping at the front is fab if you carry a little extra weight at the front of your stomach and you want to conceal it. The long sleeves are also great if you're not comfortable having them out. Who said the summer has to mean sleeveless tops? 

3. Grey Peplum The Outnet

This is another one that's really good for straight up and down girls if you want to give yourself a bit more shape with the illusion of the peplum. 

4. Mango Scarf Print

This Mango number is another one with fantastic draping at the front to conceal any tummy that you want to hide. 

5. Pink Peplum

Another amazing peplum top but this one is in a lovely bright pink colour, perfect for the summer time. 

6. ASOS Boxy Kimono

This is really good if you want to cover your upper arms if you aren't comfortable with them. This top isn't great for ladies with larger busts, a C cup is probably the biggest that would look good with this top due to the boxy shape and high neck. 

7. House of Fraser Green Drape Cami

This is a pretty draped top, again good for love handles and tummy problems as it will skim over it. 

8. River Island Floral Shirt

This pretty floral print is great for flowing over lumps and bumps too but also looks great on straight up and down ladies. Don't do it up to the top button if you have a large bust as this will only make you look bigger.

9. River Island Cross Over Stripe

Another perfect straight up and down girl's top or perfect for pear shaped ladies because if you pair it with some black skinny jeans all the interest will be drawn up top and your pear is a thing of the past! 

10. Debenhams Cross Over Wrap Top

Another perfect wrap over top great for top-heavy ladies. 

Make way for Mono...

So the mono look is a timeless one that gets reinvented each season. Consistently black and white, it is a classic look that stays strong all year round in such style savvy cities as Paris and Milan.

However with such an affordable range now available on the high street, there is no need to venture far and wide. Now is the best time to incorporate this chic style into your wardrobe...

Why not see how this blazer from Zara works with your style. A classic design and skillful shape make it the perfect separate for playful mix and match outfits. 

Or perhaps this popcorn knit from Topshop is more for you. With a versatile design that can be dressed up (think skinnies and heels!) or down (jeans and boots!) its the kind of piece that will see you through every season.

For a younger look go for some funky leggings, like these from New Look. With the ability to be worn in countless ways, these can really make your style more individual. Maybe wear with a blazer and heels? Or Converse and an over-sized tee? It's entirely up to...

If you are keen to incorporate this look into your wardrobe but need a little bit of help then get in touch. Whether its a personal shopping session or wardrobe de-clutter we have the perfect service to offer you.

Until next time..
