Thoughts of spring/summer must haves 2014!

Today is Wednesday 26th March, I am writing about my favourite spring/summer must haves for this year and the weather outside is looking like we’re in the middle of October! Anyway, even though the weather at the moment really can’t make up its mind, we’re almost in April and spring/summer is fast approaching. I love the looks for spring/summer this year which is why I have got together some of my favourites to share with you.

Don’t get me wrong, I do also love winter. The big cosy jumpers which you can snuggle into and get lost in. Cold dark nights when little Christmas lights twinkle in the dark sky. The fireworks and excitement of a new year just around the corner... And then January arrives everyone is poor the weather does usually take a dramatic turn for the worst, the days are short and the nights are so long, the only time I get to see daylight is out of the window in my office and everyone is longing for the summer to arrive.

So when it does arrive, here are my top must haves for you to sink your teeth (or your eyes) into. 

Pick One – Floral Prints

I have always been a big fan of all things floral and this trend never gets old. It always comes back each year and it just keeps getting better. Floral prints started out as being very girly however since the trend has progressed it has become more wide range appealing to different fashion styles.

 I love this floral shift dress from Topshop. It really grabbed my attention as I love the colours and the impact of the print but yet it is such a simple stylish design.  I also love the mix of two fashion trends in one piece, black and white is a big trend this year from the winter and now carrying through to the spring/summer collection.

Now I do like to be adventurous and experiment with new trends in my style, I sometimes get those 'what is she wearing' looks from my friends but I like to tell myself 'it's just because their jealous!' and once i've got a glass of wine down my neck on a night out I can strut my stuff with extra confidence as if the world was my catwalk. However I do like to keep things simple from time to time and this style of dress (the shift dress) is one of my all time favourites. I love how it is so simple but yet so elegant and stylish. I also think this looks great on all body types, I have a bit of an hour glass figure and even with some of my curves (in the wrong places) it looks great and highlights the parts of my body which I actually do like! Just an all round great style, it can look great as a casual day time outfit with some stylish knee high boots or a beautiful evening statement piece which would look elegant and sophisticated with some gorgeous sling back heels, I just love it! 

Pick Two – The Heeled Sandal

I am a big fan of sandals, whether they are heeled or flats. I loved the gladiator sandal when that was around and adding a heel on a sandal is a great idea, making them so elegant as well as the perfect accessory for a spring/summer outfit. 

My pick is this beautiful Chanel sandal. These are the definition in my opinion of a heeled sandal. These beautiful elegant shoes are so stylish, making anything look stylish for the upcoming spring/summer season. I literally think you could wear these with trackie bottoms and still look beautiful, or at least still have beautiful looking feet! 

I love the contrast of the materials on these particular sandals as well, the cotton white fabric which is pleated for that added chic look and then the solid shine added to the heel give it the extra elegant look for the high end working city woman. These are definitely something that are on my must haves for the summer although I will have to stick to the high street alternative unless I take out a mortgage.  

Pick Three - The Tote Bag

Tote bags, what is there not to love about the tote bag? I absolutely love this fashion accessory. I think they are great for all year round if i'm totally honest as darker colours work well in the winter but the brighter coloured tote bag is a definite must have addition to any spring/summer look!

 The only tote bag I could have picked is a Michael Kors. I actually don't think I have seen a bag more beautiful, no I would never be able to afford one unless my lovely boyfriend became rich and decided to treat me (*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*) or I succeed in my dream of becoming a social network fashion blogging goddess! 

This colour is great for a vibrant spring look, it would be amazing with an all white jumpsuit, some gorgeous heeled sandals and then this, the perfect statement. But it would work well with anything because of it's simple design making it so easy to match to any outfit, dress it up or dress it down it's elegant and glamorous as well as being so simple and classy. 

I do truly love everything about this bag and is the perfect accessory to end my fashion picks for spring/summer 2014.

There will probably be more to come as the weeks go by and the sun does actually want to come out and play but for now, these are my favourites so far and in the words of Coco Chanel:
