Summer outfits + WIN a trip to Ibiza pool party!

Even in Summer I've been known to wear all black, but I think I can be let off with my choice of items. The shirt is light weight and verging on sheer, layered over a statement bralet and chain harness to toughen up the look. The shorts are short without being too bootay, they are playful with the tassels which make you want to dance around and make them swoosh!

Whilst on the hunt for a white suit (you may already know I've been on the hunt for one if you follow me on twitter, I'm not sure how practical one is, but they look amazing, well in my opinion) I found this blazer come cape on Missguided. I fell in love with this unique design, I love the padded shoulders for the ultimate power woman look. It's beautifully tailored and structured without being too formal.

As my hair is currently pink, I had to wear this beautiful pastel green shade, it's kinda my thing to do when pink! I felt I needed a pop of colour as the past few months I've been a bit lacking in that department.

Wearing my trusty American Apparel riding pants with black boots for the illusion of legs for days.

In love with my new Kasun London ring, I feel my ring game is strong!

What are your thoughts on this blazer come cape?

Hype + Giveaway!

 Jumper c/o / Hype

Shorts c/o Missguided

Rucksack c/o Zatchels

Coltranes c/o Loveclothing

Necklace c/o Traditional Heart

Bracelet c/o The Bohemian Collective

Rings c/o Wanderlust, Druzy Dreams & Bloody Mary Metal

Here's a causal yet edged up festival outfit. I love the contrast of the pretty shorts against the structure of the cropped jumper and bulkiness of coltranes. Colours running through our are pinky coral tones against black, something I've not really gone for before, but really like here!

I've seen these shorts being featured everywhere and had to get myself a pair! If you do decide to get these ones from Missguided I would suggest sizing up if possible as they are quite tight around the waist!

This hype cropped jumper I cut a little more to get it the right length for myself. They no longer have this black one, but I saw a burgundy version when I last had a little look.

I adore this little apple choker necklace from Traditional heart! I think it adds a cute 90's vibe to the outfit. If you fancied anything from Traditional Heart, use code "SUMMERLEANNE" for 25% off throughout July!

Look at those amazing new ring additions to my collection! The cross bones and heart ring are both from Bloody Mary Metal, I'm so in love with their jewellery! These are sterling silver and handmade! All their jewellery is cast in either sterling silver, rose gold or gold, not plated so it won't make your fingers go green!
If you fancied anything from Bloody Mary Metal, use code "BMMXLEANNE" for 20% off throughout July!

So on Wednesday it's the Company Blogger Style Awards in London!! And thanks to you guys I'm nominated for the Best Personal Style Blog! Again a massive thank you to everyone who nominated and voted for me to win my category, all your support has been so amazing and I'm just lost for words that I'm even nominated! I'm so excited to go to the event, I'm looking forward to seeing lots of my friends there and also finally meeting some lovely girls I've spoken to for so long via the internet. The blogging community is so lovely, I'm so so happy I'm a part of this all!

I've narrowed my outfit ideas down to these two, and would love for you guys to decide which I wear to the awards. Both dresses are from Missguided and they fit like an absolute dream! I was SO impressed with them when they arrived. They look even more amazing in real life than on the website, I felt like such a princess!

For the second outfit I'm now thinking of different shoes. I loved the white shoes in the first outfit so much I also ordered them in black for the second outfit!

Also I would love your input for jewellery ideas! I'm thinking no necklace, but maybe some bracelets and rings? Also what sort of bag and in what colour for the second outfit, arrrgh decisions!

A massive thank you for my Dad for taking these outfit pictures for me, I wanted to venture somewhere a little different for a change. I have some lovely lenses and wanted somewhere to be able to show off the beautiful depth of field my 50mm f/1.2 lens is capable off <3

Coat c/o / Missguided

Jeans / Topshop

Heels / Matalan

This Coat! I've been after one for ages, and when I spied Missguided had one going in and out of stock, I kept the page booked marked until my size was available. Anyone else been that dedicated to an item? :D

It's the perfect fit, boyfriend style without being overly big and drowning me. It's tailored so the back isn't all big and I adore the length. I'd say it fits me much better than my white Topshop boyfriend coat seen in this outfit.

The outfit has a sort of sports luxe vibe, but then it's more dressed up with the minimal heels and coat.

It's now the 3rd spring/summer in a row that I've got pink hair and am addicted to shades of green <3 (this coat is described as blue but it's more mint green in person)

What's your favourite colour to wear for spring/summer?

Blakely outfit + Giveway!

 Vest c/o / Blakely

Skirt c/o / American Apparel

Shoes c/o / Missguided

Jacket / Primark

Adore the colour of this vest! Perhaps surprising to some of you I don't actually own that many pink items, but this is pretty and subtle with a sort of tie dye effect. Love Blakely's new collection! It's a brand local to me, so it's great to support such a lovely independent company. 

Definitely worth checking out, and use code "Leanne" for 20% off too!

This amazing skirt is from American Apparel, I also have the matching top for it! It's the perfect length for me as I'm only 5ft 4, it hits be at just the right length and is so flattering!

Can you believe that jacket is from Primark! I was walking past and saw it in the window, I just had to go in a get it!

GIVEAWAY!

It's open worldwide.

Ends 20th April 2014 at Midnight.

Nicole X Missguided

 

Missguided have collaborated with the beautiful Nicole Scherzinger for an exiting new collection! You all must have heard about it by now, it's all over social media and you can see why!

The collection ranges from £15-£50 with a play of textures like faux leather and fishnet. The colour palette is monochrome and cobalt. Perfectly minimal and very wearable.

These are the pieces I've picked out:

Left: 

Crop Top With Fishnet Sleeves In Black

Faux Leather Biker Leggings In White

Right

Midi Dress With Fishnet Racer Neck In Black

Left:

Mesh Racer Crop Top

Mesh Panel Mini Skirt

Right:

Monochrome Colour Block Bodycon Mini Dress

Received the black crop top with faux leather leggings so far, I just had to get that outfit as she looks incredible in the lookbook!

The crop top fits like a dream! How ever I got my size in the leggings and they were tooooooo big. I got them in a size smaller and they fit better, but ideally I would size down once more to get them to be skin tight like they are on Nicole.

Have you seen Nicole X Missguided's collection yet? Which is your favourite item?
