Welcome to one of my favourite outfits. If you follow me on youtube you'll of heard of this top by The Fifth label many many times, and even seen it in my recent summer lookbook video. Who knew I would be so obsessed with a basic item, but when something gets it so right, oh it's good!

High neckline, low arm holes, flattering shoulder width makes this a winner for me. Seriously I've been after something like this for 3 or so years, no jokes.

I really do adore The Fifth's items, they've also recently started being stocked at Asos!

The whole look feels very chic and minimal, I pinned my hair back at the sides to go with the look a bit more. As the clothing is so simple I wanted to create pops of colour with the accessories. Welcome back those amazing Quay Australia sunglasses! My go to sunnies this summer! And I'm still muchly in love with my satchel I got from Topshop many years back.

Also I would like to apologise for my lack of posting on here recently, I've been posting lots of youtube videos which, if you do youtube yourself, you'll know takes up a lot of time. I even uploaded 3 videos in 3 days at one point, when I usually do one a week. I find it a struggle at times to be consistent with posting on both my blog and youtube when there's also other things like all the social platforms to go with them and also working. I've also recently tried fitting in more of a social life as managing all these things can take up all your time and you can feel quite lonely.

Moving forward, lets find a balance for everything. How do you guys do this?

This is certainly an outfit I would wear for a festival! Perhaps adding a kimono incase it's quite sunny to prevent sun burn, and also to help bring this outfit into evening when it becomes a tad cooler. Incase the weather turns bad you could also bring a mac in your rucksack so you are prepared!

I love rucksacks for festivals! They are great to keep to you hands free so you can dance away to all your favourite bands with your hands in the air! This one is also great because there's a clasp to keep the front closed, even if that's opened there's also a drawstring which you can also tie up. Leaving you care free, not worrying about people trying to get at your goodies!

Levi shorts are almost a must have for summer let alone festivals! Ebay is a great place to find affordable ones. Lots of store even charge £30+ these days for a pair!

I'm so impressed with Quay Sunglasses! You'd know this if you follow my social platforms. I keep posting my collection. These are my favourite of the three I own so far. I love how simple yet striking they are. Also they really do black out the sunlight, the darkest sunglasses I own.

Just how amazing are those Dr Martens sandals!! And surprisingly comfy! I even wore them to work, a 35 min brisk walk and they only slightly rubbed the back.

I just looked at when I last posted an outfit! I am so sorry for my lack of posting! These few weeks have been rather busy! Although I have been shooting lots of outfits and things for my blog, it's getting the time to sit and put it all together. I'm so impressed by those who manage to blog everyday! I wish I could manage this myself!

So I tried to £20 outfit challenge!

Before you watch the video, if you don't know already, try having a guess at how much my outfit came to for two tops, jeans and shoes!

This was so much fun to do! Why not try it for yourself? I found it much harder than I realised!

Do you think you could do this challenge?

Coat c/o / Boohoo

Top / Petals & Peacocks c/o Nylon Shop

Jeans / Topshop

Heels / Matalan

Still in love with boyfriend style coats, and recently I've been all about cobalt blue! I think it goes so well with light blonde hair and also clashes nicely with pink.

Again featuring as these bargain Matalan heels, they help dress up an outfit nicely. They were only £15!

Still loving my white jonis. I never thought I'd end up owning some white jeans, but oh my I love them! Also recently got myself some ripped white boyfriend style jeans! Excited to style those up!

Are you a fan of white denim?

Bracelet c/o / The Bohemian Co

Rings c/o / Druzy Dreams, Amelia May, Wanderlust

Lipstick / Mac "Rebel"

This is an outfit I can see myself wearing to death! It's so simple and classic, dressed up nicely with the jewellery. I've been really into accessorising as of late. So happy with these rings, such beautiful statement pieces and all sterling silver!

So everything apart from the jewellery is from Boohoo. SO impressed with their clothes at the moment! It's not been somewhere I often shop but I've seen lots of lovely ladies dressed in their items so had to have a look myself! Their prices are just so reasonable! That top was only £6 and that skirt is £10!

Do you ever shop in Boohoo?

Top c/o / Nicce

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?

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!

Leggings c/o / Missguided

Heels / Primark

Necklace / Vivienne Westwood

Lipstick c/o / Missguided, Barry M 160

So I had to get this outfit as Nicole looked seriously amazing it the crop top and leggings combo, but *sigh* it's not quite the same on me. I do love how high waisted the leggings are, they help lengthen the look of the old legs! But I just wish they fitted better as I did already size down.

The top has a seriously classy and flattering design. Although it's rather cropped, the high neckline balances that out and the flirty glimpse of the shoulders through the mesh sleeves gives a more feminine feel.

At the start of the week I ventured down to London for a shoot with Cage city!

I styled these 6 outfits myself and had a fun mini shoots in their studio, see my interview on their website here.

I've been following these guys for a while now, I love seeing their shoots with other bloggers, seeing how everyone comes in and styles things in their own way. The stock is amazing! SO MANY amazing Mink Pink and Evil Twin times, I was in love!

Cage City is perfect as they are on trend but different, also stocking an amazing range of independent designer pieces.

All items worn (apart from the jewellery and shoes) are stocked at Cage City, which item or outfit is your favourite?
