Style Steal: Denim Shirt

Style Steal: Denim Shirt by bea-atreides featuring leather leggings

River Island blue shirt / Leather legging, £47 / Michael Kors jewelry / CÉLINE cateye sunglasses

I have been admiring denim shirts for a while, from afar. 

The problem is that I need to find the right shape, unfortunately having a 'chest' is not very fashion friendly and some styles can make me look like a frump! 

I fell in love with this look straight away, simple and classic.

This denim shirt from River Island is great, mixing different washes, giving a classic piece a little twist. 

I desperately need a new pair of leather leggings, my old Topshop ones (2 years) are finally giving up on me, however, I have worn them to death. So, I'd happily invest in Topshop again.

I'd team the look with classic accessories and clashing metals. 

These Celine sunglasses are amazing and have been on my wishlist for a while now! 

Hi-Tops

As you will have seen from my previous posts, shockingly the sportswear trend is becoming a firm favourite of mine for this Spring/Summer season.

One item that has caught my eye is the heeled hi-top trainers (I realise my last few post have all been about casual shoes, I am still firmly in love with heels too I promise!) particularly the ones by Isabel Marant. 

I am obsessed!

Isabel Marant is safely securing itself as one of my favourite designers!!! I know a few other designers have brought out some wedged trainers including Marc Jacobs. 

If like mine, your budget cannot stretch to Isabel Marant, then the high-street has some excellent offerings.

Need these in my life!

Make me a mermaid

Many people are aware of my love for all thing sequinned and shiny.

I'm feeling my wardrobe is certainly lacking some shiny/sequinned pieces at the moment, so here are some pieces from the high-street that caught my little Magpie eye.

Perfect for injecting some of the mermaid/art deco trends into your wardrobe this summer!

Lusting....

It's Friday and I have spent some time perusing the internet for clothing that I can't afford!!!

Here are some pieces that caught my eye...

Loving the peplum (as you saw in my previous post) and I'm a sucker for a scalloped edge! - River Island

Polka dots always remind me of summer! The seventies hippy in me loves these palazzo pants... I'm still yet to own a pair! - River Island

Regular readers of The Fashion Circus know that I love all things Seventies and platform wedges are no exception. Loving the wooden wedge detail - Topshop

These shoes are perfect for summer! - Zara

More polka dots! But I think this pencil skirt is top of my list from Topshop.

The only way is... New York!

So, I have finally got round to uploading all of my pictures from New York.  I arrived back Tuesday morning and headed straight to work, not easy when majorly jet lagged!!! Since then I have been super busy at work and preparing to move to London and 'Move in day' is TODAY! I'm extremely excited, but also frantically trying to pack up my life (my wardrobe).

I thought before I moved and was without internet for the forseeable future, I would share my photo's of my trip to New York City...

Twenty One...

This weekend I celebrated (slightly early) my 21st Birthday with my best friends from university.  I was thoroughly spoilt and had lots of little surprises, including getting a YSL make over, lots of presents including a Pandora charm and taken to an amazing bar overlooking Manchester and its pretty lights.  We had cocktails, champagne, dancing and giggles... it was Perfect!

Dress - Mango

Shoes - New Look

Bracelet - Pandora

Here are a select few photo's from the night.  I finally managed to find a dress after much pandemonium! But I am so happy that I ended up with this one, even if I was worried I looked like Big Bird! I decided to go with a variation to the LBD and wasn't dissappointed.  I've wanted a feather dress for ages and so this one from Mango was perfect!

Hope you like it!
