Spring Capsule Wardrobe

Finally, we have had a run of sunnier days and dare I say the temperature even went into double figures. It was time to update my Spring Capsule Wardrobe. Although, it is still not warm enough to be putting jumpers away yet. It would be the perfect time to go on the hunt for those pieces to take you through the transitional period.

Zara Long Blazer

My first piece I was looking for was a light weight Jacket. I picked this long blazer up from the core collection in Zara. Its such a flattering style, with it being a longer shape. It is also lightweight and so versatile. I have been able to team this Jacket with lots of different outfits. It works well for work wear, teamed with cigarette pants or a pair culottes, pencil skirt, a Jumpsuit, or casual it up with Jeans, Joggers and my personal favourite leatherette leggings. It is also such a gorgeous light grey colour, so it really can work with any other colours.

My next item I chose to update my spring capsule wardrobe with are these Embossed Nude slippers from Zara. I did quite well in Zara this shopping trip. I was in the market for something loafer come slipper type, flat and comfort was key. It was by fluke I saw these kind of shoved under one of the tables in Zara. They fit like a glove, sooo comfy and as they are nude they are a welcomed addition to my wardrobe.

There seems to be a running theme, with comfort being at the forefront. I wanted to update my spring capsule wardrobe with a white pair of trainers. These are perfect Adidas Stan Smiths Snakeskin to throw on with any outfit and I mean any. You cannot go wrong with a pair of trainers. I knew I would have to step back into my teenage years and repurchase another pair of Stan Smiths. Back in the 90’s when Brit pop was at the fore, think The Spice Girls, Oasis and Blur sporting their Adidas Gazelles as these were the trainer of the moment. Oh the memories!! I digress lets get back to the topic. These trainers have an in built cushion which makes them super comfy on the first wear. The Snakeskin print just gives the trainer that extra edge. These are just perfect for Spring/Summer.

My last piece was a little impulsive, but when you see these you need to snap it up. I wanted a dress like this last summer but alas could not find one, although i was lusting after the Novem & Knight version but it kept being sold out. So when I clapped my eyes on this in H&M I could not pass it by. For a fraction of the price of others I had seen, I snapped this up for just £20!. It is the kind of dress that you can team with anything!. Dress it up with some nude heels and a Blazer for dinner or dress it down with a slouchy cardigan and some trainers and your good to go.

How To Style Best Jeans Ever — How to style the Best Jeans Ever

The Best Jeans Ever

It came to my attention recently that a pair of good black jeans is a staple in anyone’s wardrobe. My quest for the ideal black Jean was not going well is an understatement! Since having my children my body shape has changed considerably. With that in mind I have had to really think about what style I need to get. So here is my dilemma I have skinny legs, small hips but I have a jelly belly! I’m not ashamed to admit that my stomach could do with a little attention. I have had three children and three C-Sections in the last eight years. What can I say it’s a work in progress, but for now it’s with me and I have to take it into consideration when purchasing any of my clothes to make sure they work for me.

The Hunt For The Best Jeans Ever

Over the last few years I have bought three pairs of Black Jeans and each time they loose their shape or fade and they are always so long! Even when I have bought a 30 ins length they are still a good 3 ins too long. So after wasting all that money I decided enough is enough I will spend a little more and get something that will last. This is where I turn too a brand that I have been wearing for over 20 years. It is one of my favourite Jeans maker, Levis. Over the years Levi always seems to evolve and move with the fast pace of fashion and keep bringing great pieces over, and over again. I was visiting Manchester and decided today would be the day to take the plunge. Now by no stretch of the imagination this is not a eye watering sum of money, but for me to splurge any amount on myself when you have a family is hard to curb the ‘mum guilt’.

Found Best Jeans Ever

When I tried on the Jeans I knew that these were the one, Levis 711 Skinny Jeans. They are tight but comfy, stretchy but when you bend there are no imprints left in the knees. The material is soft and thick and very robust. They flatter and hold all day long. The science bit is the material contains 1% Elastane. Elastane is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. Elastane thus is a prerequisite for fashionable or functional apparel such as supportive underwear which is intended to cling to the body, while at the same time remaining comfortable. So we could say that these Jeans are like a Spandex for your bottom, thighs and legs!!. They truly are “The Best Jeans Ever”. If that wasn’t enough, Levi’s also offer a in house alterations service. So my jeans could be fitted to my ideal leg length.

Styling My Levi’s

I have styled my Levis four different ways to show how versatile these Jeans are, which in turn makes them such an essential item in your wardrobe. Let the styling BEGIN!
