If you're a sucker for sports, you'll know that we're being spoilt for choice when it comes to dramatic finales. With the Australian Open in tennis and the British football's League Cup reaching a crescendo, sports fanatics have much to anticipate. The upcoming months are also sure to entail a blissful indulgence in <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/34290216" target="_blank">women's cricket</a>, the Six Nations and of course, the 50th Super Bowl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In preparation for Super Bowl Sunday, I've created a game day look incorporating the iconic colours of the <a href="http://www.patriots.com/" target="_blank">New England Patriots</a>. After their disappointing defeat last week, I wont be singing #GOPATS on the big day, but regardless, I'll be cheering someone on. Like most Brits, I'll be watching the game on some <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/31047440/things-you-didnt-know-about-british-super-bowl-parties" target="_blank">big screen</a> at some bar with some mediocre beer and some shoddily applied Eye Black. Let's go!</div>

On game day, comfort is paramount. Warmth is also favourable. If you can do both with style, then you're already on the winning team. Wrapped in winter's tartan, I am a firm believer that a good outfit speaks for itself. I have also begun to appreciate the casual vibes that come with sartorial simplicity and this gosh-darn great white shirt.</div>

It's officially 'back to school' season, and I couldn't be more excited.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me, it's back to University - undoubtedly something to look forward to after months of summertime slumber. My excitement for returning to uni completely overlooks the suffocating workload, painfully slow lectures and excruciating dissertation - all to be completed while hungover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The real joy is in the anticipation: the grand build up that involves a whole lot of hoarding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stationary, books, desk decorations; all are necessary items that consume an unnecessary amount of thought and money.<i> Every year</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Lace-Up Shoes - New Look (ASOS)</i></div>

Secondary to the stationary upgrade is the wardrobe upgrade. I thought I'd better start the new year with a solid shoe as part of my everyday fashion uniform. Pointed oxfords and loafers have been taunting me for weeks, so I finally picked up this patent pair. I adore the lacing detail and cannot wait to style them with a simple monochrome look.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with new shoes is a new addition to the varnish collection. Although it benefits my note-taking and information absorbing skills in no way, <i>Fuch</i><i>s</i><i>ia Generation</i> is a glorious colour. It's definitely my ultimate autumn berry shade.</div>

So that's what I've been loving recently! Are you excited about returning to school / work? What are your back to school essentials?</div>

Thank you for reading.</div>

The elusive English summer. It's temperamental, but only so we may appreciate the good days with characteristic British gratitude.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the months that are saturated with festivals, barbecues and and sun-fuelled smiles. My boyfriend treated me to a glorious festival for my birthday, and the day was truly spectacular. Waves of happiness washed over the thousands as we indulged in the sweet sounds of Ben Howard and Bombay Bicycle Club.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I purchased whole outfits (and potential outfits) in blind anticipation of this festival. <i>Bit embarrassing. </i>Of course, my 70s obsession is still unshakable, and the thought of festivalling without a flower crown disgusts me. I settled on this bell-bottomed, flicky-haired combo and assumed the role of sassy boho birthday gal. I thought I'd recreate my festival look for this shoot with my lovely friend <a href="http://catherineleanneb.wix.com/catherinebaker" target="_blank">Catherine</a>.</div>

Running through fields is socially acceptable if you're sporting flowers and lace, right? It seems anything goes at festivals, and it's all beautiful. 70s dance teepees, roller discos and group yoga sounds pretty perfect to me. I was shamefully late at getting on this festival bandwagon; this was my first, but sharing the experience with my best friend was perfect.</div>

What is the first thing you do in the morning?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're anything like <a href="http://www.adweek.com/socialtimes/smartphones/480485" target="_blank">80% of the population</a>, you spend the morning's first conscious moments groping for your beloved phone. Emails, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter soak up our attention even before we've stumbled out of bed and usually before we've made any 'real' human contact.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nurturing your notifications first thing in the morning can be great; you never miss a birthday, text or celebrity selfie. Keeping up with daily politics is a luxury that we can enjoy under the warmth of our duvets and browsing vine never fails to induce morning breath chuckles. Checking your phone can be a wonderful, mood-boosting way to start the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But not always.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently, I have come to terms with the reality that checking social media in the morning <b>directly affects the rest of my day</b>. A positive effect is infrequent. I love waking up to notifications and messages - we all do, and getting all my social media-ing done and dusted in the early hours is the perfect way to ensure that the rest of my day is spent productively. So why then, do I feel so depleted after this morning ritual?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The problem is not that I'm checking my phone, but it is that I am being exposed to a certain type of content. My feed on most social networks consists of Teatox drinking, Valentino wearing, sun-kissed mega babes. All with killer bodies. Most with brows on fleek. Although I know it's just a push-up bra and a few MAC products, I can't help but feel pressured by social media giants. <a href="https://youtu.be/NwEA706-THc" target="_blank">And it's not just me.</a> Individuals tend to share only the best snippets of their lives, but in doing so, they create an illusion of perfection. No matter the vastness of our influence, we all strive to create the best image of ourselves on the internet. Knowledge of this, it seem, is very difficult to remember when you're scrolling through a model's holiday photos. Especially first thing in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I wish I looked like that!" "I wish I had that!" "Why aren't I that successful?" "You're so amazing!" <b>"Perfect."</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting consumed by the bubble of social media is effortless, and the further you go, the more difficult it is to remember that it is just a bubble. It's merely a screenshot of a handful of people's lives and you have no obligation to strive for their façade. Instead of being a slave to the media and internalising its ridiculous standards, I decided to do a crazy thing.<b> I stopped checking my phone in the mornings.</b> Astonishing. It made all the difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your first waking moments are crucial in determining your mood for the day, and should be a time for positivity, love and appreciation for yet another 24 hours of life. Just a shower and a bowl of fruit is enough to get me in high spirits, and you know what, it's hard for social media to bring you down when you're bright-eyed with confidence in full grasp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for reading - what are your thoughts? Does social media affect you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a wonderful day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Hello! Welcome to the 70s.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you follow me on <a href="https://twitter.com/ColourMeIn_SC/status/610134940970262528" target="_blank">Twitter</a> or<a href="https://instagram.com/p/4To-Mos8vb/?taken-by=colour_me_in" target="_blank"> Instagram</a>, you may already be aware that this summer I graced my wardrobe with a pair of flares. Exciting. This season has seen the recreation of an array of 70s trends - from tasselled suede to round-neck tees. The sartorial timeline has been disturbed, as items from the 70s have been dragged from history and dumped into Topshop - and not a single item has escaped the retro resurrection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This, however, is not a complaint. My affection for all things vintage allows me to embrace the trend, and realise my affinity for flared jeans and striped tees. I have aspirations of becoming a retro-boho-groovy extraordinaire, or something of similar implications. I'm not there yet, but these jeans are my time machine.</div>

The flared jean has, admittedly, been overdone in the bloggersphere, but I'm certainly not ashamed to add my rendition to the archive. Interestingly, the internet is saturated with images of women rocking these 70s staples, yet seeing flares being worn 'in real life' is a rarity. Perhaps I just need to surround myself with a more groovy crowd.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The funny thing with trends is that they don't always infiltrate the high street. With the exception of Next and River Island, no stores had a flare in sight as I desperately hunted.Thankfully TkMaxx came to the rescue with this pair and my faith in the retro resurrection was thus restored. Unlike the elusive flares, platformed sandals are absolutely in abundance on the high street. Options were plentiful, but I found myself lusting over these Primark heels - much to my surprise.</div>

I have a thing with orange.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have an affinity for this colour. I find myself pulling out various items from my wardrobe all. in. this. colour. It seems to be my summer motif. It's a very distinct and specific orange. Not the orange of juicy clementines or fresh carrots or voluptuous pumpkins. Not the orange of autumn leaves or sweet peppers. No.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the orange of the African Daisy.</div>

Welcome! Today I thought I'd share with you some beauty goodies I've picked up for summer! I don't know about you, but I get a little over-excited during the lead up to the holidays, and my bank balance definitely suffers the consequences. For some reason, over this period I become infatuated with lipsticks and nail varnishes, as though they will somehow maximise my summer experience. Silly, right?</div>

Some of you may already be aware of my No.7 addiction. Ever since I lathered on their make-up for <a href="http://colourmein-sc.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/oh-summer-ball.html" target="_blank">prom</a>, I've been a little obsessed. The quality of their products is fantastic and they are one of the few beauty brands that caters for all skin types and tones, which is <a href="http://colourmein-sc.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/wewant-d.html" target="_blank">incredibly important</a>. </div>

I adore the products in this set, and they are wonderful for creating that light and natural summer look. The Beauty Balm is the most gorgeous baby pink, and its glossy finish is perfect with a dewy neutral face. Also, let us take a moment to marvel at the colour of this varnish. <strike>Pastelicious</strike>.</div>

Berry lip shades are among my favourites, and I could not pass up the opportunity to add this beauty to my modest collection. As for the powder, <a href="http://colourmein-sc.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/as-i-get-older-i-appreciate-more-age.html" target="_blank">I swear by it</a>. The heels were a bit of an impromptu purchase; I love this style, and have been lusting over <a href="http://www.zara.com/uk/en/shoes---bags/woman/shoes/leather-high-heel-sandal-with-ankle-strap-c598019p2839051.html" target="_blank">Zara's strappy sandals</a> for some time now. However, I am ashamed to admit that I'm a rather incompetent heel-wearer. So these are my practice pair.</div>

It is no secret that this summer fashion is taking a blast from the past. The 1970s are back. This season has borrowed the highlights of the era (flares, suede and experimental prints) and revamped them with a contemporary twist. Leading retailers <a href="https://marketplace.asos.com/women/featured/womens-vintage-70s-fashion-trend" target="_blank">ASOS</a> and <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/restofworld/looks/springinto70s/icat/springinto70s" target="_blank">BooHoo</a> have even dedicated sections of their websites to the trend. </div>

I can't help but fall in love with the nostalgic designs currently available, but despite my admiration of the 70s revamp, I find myself picking up the vintage items in my wardrobe. A remake is a nice homage, but it's just not the real thing.</div>

This dress fills me with flower power vibes and dreams hippie goodness. The abstract print is comparable to the gorgeous creations of vintage <a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/annimalhouse/50s-60s-70s-vintage-pucci/" target="_blank">Emilio Pucci</a> with remnants of the '64 <a href="https://www.marimekko.com/onlinestore/unikko-50-years" target="_blank">Unikko print</a> by iconic design house Marimekko. Although I adore the print of this authentic dress, for me, it is the collar that gives it oomph. Oversized collars are what 70s dreams are made of.</div>

There is something undoubtedly fascinating about being able to recreate the past, and with my mum's high-school bag slung over my shoulder, my nostalgic yearning has never been stronger.

Recently, I've been lusting over Ch<span style="font-family: inherit;">lo<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.4545459747314px;">é's <a href="http://www.chloe.com/en/ready-to-wear-collection/summer-2015" target="_blank">summer 2015 collection</a> - one of the leading brands during the 70s now recreates the styles beautifully</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 17.4545459747314px;">.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It all started with a plaster. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A pinky ‘flesh toned’ plaster. As I stared at my
boyfriend’s wounded arm, I noted the effortless camouflage of the little
plaster. It was a perfect colour match. The satisfaction of seeing such a
perfect match was quickly subsided by a single thought: what if I had to wear a
plaster? I looked down at my caramel-cocoa skin and then back to the plush pink
plaster. There was no way that was going to match, and they only make one
colour. One colour is standard. Then I thought, but what about people darker
than me? What about people lighter than my boyfriend? What of golden, freckled
or chalky skin? They need plasters too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Of course, this was a ridiculous reason to fret;
nobody can expect a rainbow of plasters to pick from every time they get a
papercut. The problem </span></span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">isn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> with plasters. The problem is in the wider

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Endless campaigns within the fashion industry for diversity
have certainly challenged the rigid beauty standard mould. Vogue Italia led the
way back in 2011 with their ‘<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/03/vogue-italia-plus-size_n_870739.html" target="_blank">True Beauty</a>’ campaign featuring a trio of stunning
full-figured models. Three years later, Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o graced us
with her striking<a href="http://www.vogue.com/slideshow/752479/lupita-nyongo-first-vogue-cover-photos/#9" target="_blank"> Vogue cover</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Despite these achievements, the world of fashion still
lacks diversity. To tackle the issue further, supermodel veterans Bethann
Hardison, Naomi Campbell and Iman Abdulmajid founded the <a href="http://balancediversity.com/2013/09/05/balance-diversity-2/" target="_blank">Diversity Coalition</a>: a
campaign to diversify runways. In 2014, the coalition actively named and shamed
design houses such as Versace for their ‘lack of conduct in being racially
diverse’.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

direction, but progress is slow. Diversity on the runway is but a façade. Just
21% of models used during New York Fashion week’s<a href="http://jezebel.com/new-york-fashion-week-diversity-talks-but-white-faces-1522416724" target="_blank"> Fall2014</a> showcase were
non-Caucasian. This is surely an unacceptable misrepresentation of the vibrant
metropolis whose population, according to the 2008 U.S. Census, is 55%
non-Caucasian.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The demographics of New York and its runways may seem
a world away, but as always with the fashion industry, what starts at the top
infiltrates its way to the bottom. High-street beauty favourite Rimmel London released a <a href="https://youtu.be/58R1-TQbOhA" target="_blank">campaign video</a> for their Match Perfection foundation. Alongside
an afro-haired beauty and a lusciously locked ginger, Georgia May Jagger poses proficiently,
enchanting us to ‘get the London look’. Three beautiful models depicting
different takes on beauty standards is a rather effective advert, and shows a
glimmer of diversity in the industry. Unfortunately, the glimmer is just a
glimmer. Rimmel’s Match Perfection comes in eight colours, yet the darkest is just two shades lighter than May Jagger - the exact shade of my
boyfriend’s pink plaster. The façade of diversity strikes again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">H&M, one of the leading high-street brands for
racial diversity uses models originating from all over the globe. This is
encouraging within the industry, but what about different types of diversity?
The company boasts a superb plus size collection, however, it contains 10x less
clothing than their ‘straight size’ range.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The esteemed Mango also offers a selection of larger
clothes in their Violeta range. While this is fantastic, it is astounding that
their plus collection begins at a UK size 12. When the national average is a
size 16, what exactly are the implications here? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It seems there’s a long way to go, but ‘diversifying
is not difficult’. So while we wait for the industry to step into 21<sup>st</sup>
century and sort itself out with more racial and body representation and the deconstruction
of the beauty archetype, let us remember our individual beauty. Let us
celebrate ourselves and each other. In an ideal society, clothes would come in
more than 5 standard sizes, and plasters would come in more than one standard
colour. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Eventually the fashion industry will catch up, and
recognise the beauty of diversity.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

As I get older, I appreciate more the age-old fashion proverb:<b> less is more</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When it comes to clothing, I must admit to being a sucker for the bold, bright and obnoxious, but I think I'm finally growing out of my teenage extravagance, and maturing towards a more refined minimalist style. So I like to think. I'm endlessly inspired by the likes of, <a href="http://love-aesthetics.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ivania Carpio</a>, Janelle Monae and Helen of <a href="http://www.thelovecatsinc.com/" target="_blank">The Lovecats Inc</a>. Their polished black and white minimalism exudes elegance, and although I'm a born maximalist, simplicity is always tempting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's hard to pretend to be a sophisticated minimalist when there is a distinct lack of sartorial 'staples' in your wardrobe. So, I went on a little shopping trip. I picked up items with versatility that would last through all seasons, and of course I couldn't help but purchase some cute lil beauty products too. </div>

These are my first pair of blue jeans. Yes, you read correctly. My first pair of plain, skinny blue jeans. I would always shy away from wardrobe 'essentials' such as these, as I found them somewhat limiting and rather boring to style. Goodness, I was so wrong! Rather than retract from an outfit, these jeans add a touch of casual class. The colour is beautiful. The fit is beautiful. The versatility is beautiful. Zara, you beaut. As for the cigarette Trousers, you can't go wrong really.</div>

Much like my pursuit of a <a href="http://colourmein-sc.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/shirt-h-skirt-tkmaxx-bag-select-boots.html" target="_blank">plain white shirt</a>, it took me rather a long time to find a white tee worthy of being added to my 'essentials' collection. Fortunately, H&M came to the rescue with their basics range. Never would I have guessed that I'd be so excited to find a plain white t-shirt (they are harder to come by than you'd think). Alongside my lil white tee are my lil snakeskin slipons. They are cute, comfy and make every outfit look cooler.</div>

Finally, I thought I'd pick up some beauty goodies! I have what some might call an obsession with sweet smelling products, and I could not resist this fragrant delight! The Beauticology shower crème is so wonderful: the strawberry and pomegranate scent is gorgeous and who can deny the charm of the packaging! I love trying out new products, so I also purchased this liquid liner to replace my shamefully dried-out gel liner. I must say, this product is perfect for clumsy makeuppers! Application is so easy <strike>to fix when you mess up</strike>, and it's waterproof and long lasting.</div>

My final purchase was my go-to loose powder. I'm firmly in the minority of loose powder lovers, and adore them for setting foundation. This particular powder contains a tiny bit of shimmer, which gives your skin beautiful radiance - perfect for summer.</div>

It's that awkward time of year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That awkward transition between spring and summer. Brits will know what I mean: too bright for winter clothing, but too cold to go coat-less. This strange seasonal transition haunts me every year, as the struggle for summery-yet-practical attire is rarely overcome. The daily attempt to make winter items summer appropriate usually results in pastel mashups. Pastel saved me. Thank goodness for marshmallow coats.</div>

I've been holding on to the pastel trend with both hands. It gets me through those chilly spring days.

Although I complain, spring is a gloriously uplifting season, and what better way to celebrate it than getting out, enjoying the vibrancy and wrapping up in some matchy-matchy marshmallow.</div>

Hello, lovely readers! Exclusive presale coming up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Allow me to introduce you to <a href="http://presale.standforinitiative.com/colourmein/index.php?selc=UNITED%20KINGDOM" target="_blank"><b>StandFor</b></a>, a shoe company whose ethical values are just as endearing as their fashion-forward designs. Every collection released by this brand represents a different moral statement: <i>"Our shoes are much more than footwear. They represent action. People who walk for a reason. Who stand for an idea and believe in the power to make the world a better place."</i><br />
<br />
That sounds like a pretty fantastic idea to me. Fashion houses have long been tackling moral and ethical values, with <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2014/10/16/gigi-hadid-karl-lagerfeld-on-chanel-feminist-protest" target="_blank">Chanel's catwalk protest</a> being in most recent memory. Clothing lines have such a wide radius of influence that there is nothing more important than using that power for good. <a href="http://presale.standforinitiative.com/colourmein/index.php?selc=UNITED%20KINGDOM" target="_blank">StandFor</a> have absolutely grasped their opportunity to influence the fashion community, and it is my pleasure to support them for the world premier of their Smoke Less SS15 collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a href="http://presale.standforinitiative.com/colourmein/index.php?selc=UNITED%20KINGDOM" target="_blank">In collaboration with StandFor, this exclusive presale is available to you through this blog until April 18th!</a><br />

The<a href="http://presale.standforinitiative.com/colourmein/index.php" target="_blank"> StandFor</a> shoes make a statement with more than just their vibrancy.

The company encourages the fashion conscious to stand for what they believe in, make a change and walk their talk.<br />

I hope you're just as impressed with this collection as I am! I greatly admire companies that tackle controversial issues and spread positivity. The idea that an item of clothing can be a statement of more than just fashion is one that I hope catches like wildfire. <a href="http://presale.standforinitiative.com/colourmein/index.php" target="_blank">These shoes are on an exclusive presale until April 18th!</a> I'm proud to stand for something. I'm proud to stand for <a href="http://presale.standforinitiative.com/colourmein/index.php" target="_blank">StandFor</a>.<br />

Winter is still very much with us, but that seemingly means absolutely nothing when I get dressed in the morning. If even a slither of the sun's glorious rays manages to penetrate the gloomy clouds of winter, then it's bright colours and summer vibes for my wardrobe. I know no other way.</div>

With my 'fro out, wandering through local lakes, I feel free. Throwing on a simple white shirt always gives me that incomparable feeling of optimism. I don't know. A white shirt is confidence, comfort, cool - anything you want it to be. Am I over-romanticising? Possibly.</div>

It is quite clear that I'm a bit of a sucker for vintage and shabby chic. I'm a bit a sucker for florals, anything rustic or quaint. My fellow Pinterest addicts will understand that the combination of these tastes will lead you directly to one pin board: <i>weddings</i>. The flowers, the colours, the romance - I'm an unashamed sucker for it all. Unsurprisingly, I was absolutely delighted when offered the opportunity to participate in a style challenge hosted by wedding design extrodinaires <a href="https://weddingtonway.com/" target="_blank">WeddingtonWay.com</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://weddingtonway.com/">WeddingtonWay.com</a> is a glorious online wedding boutique that offers sartorial elegance for brides and their wedding parties. Their range of modern styles is beautiful and definitely worth a browse (for when that Pinterest wedding board just doesn't hit the spot).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the challenge, I was required to style one of their exclusive bridesmaid dresses, but of course I couldn't narrow down my shoe and clutch choices. Of course. So, I've created three slightly varying looks by reigniting my inner pastel princess.</div>

"<b><span style="font-size: large;">W</span>onder</b> is defined as a constriction and suspension of the <b>heart</b> caused by amazement at the sensible appearance of something so <b>portentous</b>, great, and unusual, that the heart suffers a systole.

As the festivities of this season draw to a close, you may be ready to ditch the novelty jumpers and Santa hats, but one thing that's certainly here to stay is the party dress. Whether it's for that first girl's night out of the new year, or for your much anticipated 2015 prom, you'll be able to find your perfect frock at <a href="http://avivadress.com/">AvivaDress.com</a>.<br />
<br />
This online store has an extensive range of beautiful dresses, specialising in wedding and prom attire. I was astounded by their quality garments at such competitive prices, particularly as they have such an inclusive range of sizes. Each dress comes in an array of different colours and you can even tailor it to your measurements. This is a feature that makes the company stand out for me, after all, what more would you want than choice?<br />
<br />
I have the most awful of pastimes; I call it the procrastination peruse. Perusing the virtual shelves of online stores, of course. So, naturally I browsed <a href="http://avivadress.com/">AvivaDress.com</a> in search of the spectacular, and they didn't disappoint. Here are my top ten:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguYdNdCKmCeiYCnxzF8tBnATe4vPmfPqbvxYQoX-Kn_5iR1iIB5RFN8SC2r2-1HcYrdr842m-wX2xFUmpH8-wc-l1R_phpm1I1ii6KHcSCwLYhSZUNA1S_YEZ-o1E357Qmh1FP5AwwdwA/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguYdNdCKmCeiYCnxzF8tBnATe4vPmfPqbvxYQoX-Kn_5iR1iIB5RFN8SC2r2-1HcYrdr842m-wX2xFUmpH8-wc-l1R_phpm1I1ii6KHcSCwLYhSZUNA1S_YEZ-o1E357Qmh1FP5AwwdwA/s1600/1.jpg" height="452" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
These three glitzy numbers scream 'perfect prom night'. I couldn't help but drool over their classic silhouettes in contemporary colours. I'm absolutely in love with the vibrancy of the first dress; zingy orange. As for the second, sequins often have me running for the hills, but there's no denying the beauty of this stunning gown. There is something undeniably 'Hollywood' about it; the jet black, the sparkling finish and that darling brush train. Perfect.<br />
<br />
The only sufficient description I have for the third dress is Tinkerbell. So very very Tinkerbell.<br />

<br />
As I mentioned, the diversity at<a href="http://www.avivadress.co.uk/" target="_blank"> AvivaDress.com</a> is so refreshing, and despite offering each dress in a wide range of sizes, the store also boasts a beautiful plus size collection. As well as this, they cater for all your sartorial desires, including sections in unique and vintage dresses. I have to be honest, as I'm sat typing, all I can think about is the next formal event in my calendar. I'm going to need an excuse to buy a dress.<br />

<br />
For formal occasions, I adore gowns that glide. Soft material lightly kissing the floor in graceful movement; the full length dress can do no wrong. The sky blue dresses are just gorgeous - I never thought I'd be swayed by such a colour! With minimal detailing and flattering A-lines, the three dresses above are both classy and flirtatious, allowing them suitability for occasions beyond 'the teenage prom'. Keep it simple, sweetheart.<br />

As yellow leaves descend and settle, they create a carpet crisp and golden. It is this transition that inspires me. From the freshness of leafy green to brick red, burnt orange and caramel, the autumnal palette is one to be admired. My wardrobe unsurprisingly imitates these earthy colours, and I find myself overwhelmed with feelings of closure. The vividity of summer has come to an end, and it is time for a new beginning. New season, new term. Hello Autumn.</div>

With a new academic year comes the preparations of obtaining all the necessary equipment for the term ahead. Stationary. Books. Bags. It's a purely utilitarian shopping spree, right? I like to convince myself of that. I may have strayed from my original academic shopping list and picked up a few bits from New Look... AW collections are just too enticing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shooting this look was just as fun as putting it together; my talented friend <a href="http://joannasellick.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Joanna Sellick</a> worked her magic and produced these wonderful photos. High spirits on a bright autumn afternoon assured a swift and successful shoot midway through a busy schedule of lectures. Jo is beautifully creative - so check out her blog<a href="http://joannasellick.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"> here</a>.</div>

<a href="http://www.arkiveclothing.co.uk/" target="_blank">Arkive Girls</a> is a Scottish clothing store that I had the opportunity to work with over summer. I modelled alongside two lovely bloggers in the heart of Notting Hill. You may have already seen my wordy <a href="http://www.colourmein-sc.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/today-i-have-rather-exciting-post-for.html" target="_blank">post</a> with all the details of my day, so I'll skip the intricacies, and jump straight in with what I wore for my first outfit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
My first look was a co-ord that embodied fresh summer vibes with its muted tropical print and tasselled seams. After shimmying into this gorgeous Arkive Girls number, it was time for me to let the lovely hair and makeup artists work their magic.<br />

Bewildered by the array of foundations, lipsticks and shadows at the disposal of the makeup artist, I felt so spoilt being pampered! I was incredibly pleased with my makeup - especially paired with this outfit. You'll be happy to know that my little sports socks were swiftly removed before we started shooting! Phew! Here's the final look:</div>

Today, I have a rather exciting post for you! If you follow my Instagram or Twitter, you will have already been bombarded with photos and over-excited captions. For this, I offer no apologies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago I took part in a photoshoot in Notting Hill for the brand <a href="http://www.arkiveclothing.co.uk/" target="_blank">Arkive Girls</a>. Excluding the countless childhood 'fashion shows' I shamelessly forced my parents to endure, I'd never done anything like a photoshoot. As you can imagine, I was bursting with excitement, but I couldn't suppress the overwhelming waves of nervousness that came over me as I wondered how I should pose. As a slightly awkward 5'1 modelling amateur, my confidence in looking picture perfect wasn't particularly high. But, alas! the team at the shoot was fantastic, styling me to perfection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.arkiveclothing.co.uk/" target="_blank">Arkive Girls</a> is a Scotland based clothing brand that specialises in cool and current clothing. Their collections have an urban chic vibe about them, which I absolutely adore! When asked by photographer <a href="http://saskialouisa.wix.com/photography#!arkive-girls-photoshoot-/c1iny" target="_blank">Saskia Rodriguez</a> to take part in the shoot, I jumped at the chance! Saskia also has a very casual yet stylish look, so I opted for edgy minimalism when choosing an outfit to wear to the shoot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thought of a white and black outfit against the backdrop of internationally admired Notting Hill architecture was too enticing. I just couldn't help myself. Here's what I wore:</div>

I can't get over this ASOS shirt; I love it so much! Since being in complete awe of <a href="http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2013/06/tulle-shells.html" target="_blank">Susie Bubble's sheer dress</a> back in June last year, I've searched far and wide for the perfect mesh shirt. Coincidentally, I came across mine almost exactly a year on, in the same store that graced us with Susie's mesh masterpiece: ASOS.</div>

I was invited to the shoot, along with fashion bloggers Sophie of <a href="http://www.setinstyle.co.uk/" target="_blank">Set In Style blog</a> and Jessica of <a href="http://www.jessicawithey.com/" target="_blank">Jessica Withey blog</a>.Both bloggers are outrageously stylish and were equally as excited about the shoot! It was lovely spending time with them before and after the shoot, strutting through Hyde park and Instagramming excessively.</div>

<b>How would you describe your style?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My style is definitely very feminine, but it's still changing and evolving. As I get older I am noticing my fashion taste is slowly starting to shift into a more mature sort of wardrobe. It's very interesting to see how much my style has grown since my very first blog post.</div>

<b>What inspires you?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
People inspire me. Whether it's family, friends, fellow bloggers, or my readers. I think every creative person out there feeds off feedback. I love comments from my readers. They'll let me know if they like it, or if I could have done something different. I like that. Positive criticism is healthy in all aspects of life.</div>

<b>Which one item do you think every woman should own?</b></div>

Confidence. It won't matter what clothes you wear, or what lipstick you have on if you aren't comfortable with yourself. Once you have that, you can do anything.</div>

Hello! Last weekend it was my birthday (cue party poppers and the birthday song) and I was fortunate enough to have lots of lovely birthday plans. One of them included a day of what I like to call 'gallery hopping'. My family and I visited some of London's finest art attractions, including both the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. I'm the type of person that gets wholly consumed by a work of art, so an afternoon spent admiring the likes of Opie and Turner was an afternoon well spent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The remainder of the day was spent soaking in the atmosphere of my favourite London spots; of course involving indulgence in retail therapy and the excessive consumption of Chinese food.</div>

There is one item in my wardrobe that is guaranteed to make me feel fabulous, so of course I whipped it out on my birthday. This Zara blazer. Delicate silk. Intricate pattern. Oriental colours. Drool. I actually bought it as a cover-up for my school leavers summer ball last year, and have seldom worn it since. I have a fear of ruining it, but that couldn't stop me on my birthday!</div>

My dress was actually a fairly recent purchase on impulse after falling in love with the dusty colour and elegant cut. So maybe I was a little overdressed for a day of sketching portraits and drinking bubble tea, but that's ok with me.</div>

Hi there! Today's summertime ensemble incorporates bold, tropical prints with the pastel trend. I actually wore kitten heels for the first time in forever (I hope you sang that in your head), and I must say, I'm liking them! They are so easy to walk in, so perfect for a day out - and, of course, you can't go wrong with heels and jeans.</div>

Conveniently, my nails were already painted sky blue, which is a colour I've been over-wearing for approximately 6 weeks now. I love it. So, when I dug this vintage jumper from the unventured depths of my 'winter collection', I fell in love with it all over again. Casual pullovers are especially handy on summer days that are deceptively bright, but rather chilly. The disappointment I felt when I saw the cloudy sky this morning was incomprehensible, so I figured I'd make my own summer scene with an exotic print!</div>

One thing you should know about me is that I like to get creative. I like reinventing myself on a daily basis. What a catastrophe life would be without creative freedom! My style, however, remains an indispensable influence on my everyday attire, whether I'm in pastel florals or sports luxe. This time round, I've ditched the flower crown for a cap. A<i> front facing </i>one too. It's still me. Just me with a cap on.</div>

There's something 'heavy duty' about this shirt, specially paired with the cool blue hues of metal and sky. I can imagine its previous owner wearing it to work; rolling up the sleeves as the summer heat kicks in. I guess this is my take on that look. I feel like an urban warrior in my cap and boots as well - but I'm afraid I'm not that cool.</div>
