Trends I wont be wearing #2

Trends I wont be wearing #2

Trends I wont be wearing #2 by emma-handley featuring h m jacket


This is a post I did a little while back - here - that was pretty popular, so I thought I would do a haphazard series (i'm not good at doing it on particular days I have discovered!). Let us begin!

I won't be wearing...

Hawaiian Print - I'm not saying i haven't tried with this one. I checked out H&M's Conscious Collection a little while back and although I didn't full on hate it, the print just reminds me of blokes on stag do's when they think it will be hilarious to wear matching shirts (good one Bazza). To me, there are just much nicer prints to choose from. 

Pastel Lips - I love a bit of pastel, in fact my nails are currently rocking Models Own's 'Utopia', which is gorgeous. However, I don't look at it and think I want to put that colour on my lips. Nope, no I don't - soz Nikki I will let you work that one. 

Colour Block Leather -  Colour blocking does work and it does look really effective, but i'm not loving it with leather for some reason. I don't really like the look of the same textures in one outfit and there is just something about all leather head to toe that makes me feel uncomfortable...next trend please!

I will be wearing...

Pop of Neon - I mentioned how much I adored this pop of neon trend (not a beanie though, see other post here) and Henry Holland has brought out these bralettes and briefs recently that i can't wait to get out this Summer. I must mention that I don't intend to flash the brief part, just the bralette. I think the particular colour and shape featured above is a little different from the other brights available. I'm picturing a sheer top or low armed tank and some denim. I think Henry is a great designer, I once tweeted him because my beloved HH leather shoes had finally broke and I thought he might have a spare pair - no luck!

White - I've already gone with this trend a little already since I've been flirting with the Monochrome trend that was big news. I bought a white blazer from H&M last month, which I think is this one and I cannot recommend it enough. It fits so good, looks amazing with everything and is great quality - all for £25.

Tribal Gathering -  Name thanks to a recent Vogue mag, I see this trend as a classier and more wearable print than the Hawaiian one mentioned earlier. There's loads of different takes on it, but I love the Moroccan  Aztec tribal vibes and this bikini from River Island is a beaut. I don't know if you guys saw my Birthday Wishlist post, but I featured this amazing jacket from Zara that my boyfriend got me in the end. I literally wear it all the time and get compliments every time, so you just have to get it too (twins). 

Let me know which trends you won't and will be following in the comments below. Of course, feel free to disagree with me too, just don't blame me when your Hawaiian print shirt gets you scooped up in a Stag Do on the way to Malaga.

Worldwide Wardrobe 2013: New York City

Worldwide Wardrobe 2013: New York City 
Zara shirt - £39
H&M trousers - £25
Zara shoes - £46
ASOS necklaces - £15
Accessorize Clutch - £57
Accessorize Bracelet - £15
Total - £197



This is my entry to the very popular and amazing competition Worldwide Wardrobe from travelsupermarket.com If you haven't heard of it then you must check it out because the prizes are just too good. In brief, you have to create an outfit with £200 or less for a city and situation and then a winner is picked! You can put forward an entry for all the destinations if you want, but I just focused on the one of my dreams - cocktails in New York City. Enough, said. 

I've never been to NYC and if I got the chance to sip some cocktails whilst pretending to be Carrie Bradshaw, this is the killer outfit I would pick. The shirt from Zara is a classic piece that you could wear on a number of occasions and style it with different accessories to create your desired look. I chose a pair of pleather trousers to give my outfit some texture and edge without going overboard with a crazy pattern, which you can see I have saved for my clutch bag. The Aztec pattern is huge again this season and I think this Accessorize clutch has it all. Picking out the turquoise in the clutch I have chosen a necklace and statement bracelet to compliment, think classic meets bohemian. Finally, the shoes. Oh the shoes. This is the style of the moment and the silver studding just tops it off. I want them and I want them bad. 

Let me know what you think of my outfit choice and also links if you enter as I'm kinda obsessed at looking at people's outfits for this competition! It all closes on the 5th of June, so enter here
