Shopping Picks: Accessories for Spring

I absolutely love all the flowers and lighter colours that begin coming into stores at Spring. Although I’m heading into Autumn, I still love incorporating spring style into my looks year round – it never fails to make me feel happy. I especially love the necklace and the flower bun holder here. I think they’d both look so pretty with a simple white tee and coloured skirt (or a white dress).

I love the daisy wrap too – I’ve been trying to work out how it works, anyone know?? It’s looking like maybe something I could make one day.

Shopping Picks: Collared Shirts

Amelia Shopping

I love collared shirts and it’s especially fun when you find one with a cute pattern. I love wearing them to work and on the weekend too! If I wear them on a day off, I’ll tend to keep everything else casual, fun and feminine – cardigans, jeans, twirly skirt, jewellery, bright shoes, headband – just to avoid feeling too worky.

I came across these two gorgeous floral shirts at Macy’s during the week and then had a bit of a look at what else was around. These are all Under $100 and available Internationally too!

8 Piece Remix – Spring/Autumn Looks

Amelia Capsule Wardrobe, Ways to wear

I thought I’d have some fun today and do a remix. I love creating these mini capsule wardrobes and mixing everything up to see what results. I usually find that I come up with some great combinations I would never have thought of before. For today’s one I chose some simple, staple pieces that would be appropriate for the upcoming Spring/Autumn weather. Usually I like to have a balance of tops and bottoms for remixes but as these seasons are perfect for layering, I thought I’d change things up a bit. I selected 2 cardigans, 1 sweater, a long sleeve top, a long sleeve shirt, 2 pairs of jeans and one polka dot skirt. I then accessorised till my heart was content (as that’s always my favourite bit!)

Here are some basic remixes:

I just chose these items from the Polyvore vaults but they are usually available if you’re interested.

H M long sleeve blouse, 27 AUD / Diane Von Furstenberg blouse, 235 AUD / L K Bennett button down top, 165 AUD / Gap petite cashmere sweater, 20 AUD / Linea black top, 46 AUD / Uniqlo jeans, 22 AUD / Stretch pencil skirt, 44 AUD / Pull&Bear super skinny jeans, 47 AUD

And here is all the fun I’ve had accessorising:

I stopped at 12 looks today – but there were more I could have done too. My secret to this particular remix is that I chose colours and simple patterns that I knew would go together. This isn’t of course necessary, and you may find that you come up with more interesting and unique combinations by first picking pieces that you think will clash.

Which looks are your favourite? Have you ever created a capsule/remix wardrobe?

Hair Accessories

Amelia Hair Ideas, Shopping

As I’m someone that’s not overly creative with my hair styling, hair accessories are a great way for me to add a bit of fun to a simple style. I actually wear them a lot at work as I’m required to wear all black but any colour I want in my hair/jewellery! I love looking at online stores just to see the lovely ways they style hair accessories. ASOS is the best for styling hair accessories I would say. I love checking out their site just for ideas alone!

Anyway here are 6 pretty hair accessories I’ve come across this week:

5 Ways to Wear a Grid Pattern Print Top

Amelia Ways to wear

Today’s 5 Ways features the Sarah Woven Diamond Grid Print Drawstring Top from Boohoo. This grid type of print seems to be really popular this season, I’m seeing it everywhere! (at least in Australia – is this the same for you guys everywhere else too??). I’m a huge fan of stripes as well as gingham/tartan but I’ve found these more structured, rigid grid prints a bit harder to get into. So I was surprised to find that I actually really quite liked this Boohoo one. I think the larger print as well as the fact it’s set on an angle makes it much more flattering. I really like the nice tied peplum detail on it too. I still feel the pattern needs to be broken up a bit though by accessories/layering – which is what I did with most of the looks here:

I chose to do all casual/brunch/lunch sort of looks this time.

I think I actually like this top more after styling it too. I especially like looks two and three – even though number 3 doesn’t break up the pattern.

What do you think? Do you like the grid pattern trend? Which is your favourite look?

Here are a few more options available. The Boohoo one also comes in white:
