How to wear: Peplum

How to wear: Peplum by bea-atreides  (Polyvore)

T By Alexander Wang short sleeve shirt / Peplum skirt / High heel, Whistles / Zara clutch handbag / Michael Kors Jet Set,

I love the peplum trend and for AW12 and SS13 (so far) it looks like it is here to stay, however, I have to admit I've been struggling with it, finding a piece that flatters my shape rather than making me look so much larger than I am!!!

I love this neon lace peplum skirt from Topshop, nailing a few trends in one item (how's that for frugal!).  I would team it with a simple jersey top and accessories, playing with different textures, whilst letting the skirt be the stand out piece. 

Now I just need to try it on and see if it will actually suit me...

Bassike

I stumbled across Bassike the other day and I wish this brand was in the UK...

I have a fondness of jersey basics and Australian brand Bassike has jersey in every colour and style imaginable!

The brands creators had a vision to create adaptable and covetable everyday pieces with a design pedigree, the Bassike philosophy is about creating wardrobe staples with longevity; combining timeless style with premium quality and sustainable fabrics. 

I love, love, love!

Perfect wardrobe staples...

Please come to the UK!

p.s. when I googled Bassike earlier, there was a link to Net-a-Porter who say the collection is 'coming soon'.... fingers crossed!
