Style | Currently Crushing ❤︎

Why is it that whenever you have the cash to splash you never see anything you love but the minute you try and be good and budget said cash for other more important life-enhancing things (aka Garden Renovation, being a grown up is so boring), you see stuff you absolutely need and love everywhere you look..... euuuuggghh.

Anyway, I'd though I would share what I'm currently crushing on, I'm living vicariously through you guys....

I went to Banana Republic in Bath yesterday and literally could have bought the shop. No kidding. They have some really lovely pieces in at the moment. I left with a pair of Jeans - I've been looking for the perfect dark blue wash for ages and spotted them, the fit was great too. So, out of the arms full of clothes and accessories I took to the fitting room, I picked my favourite and that was that.

Here's what I would be buying at the moment if I wasn't exercising some serious self-control.

1. Leather Statement Necklace
2. Oversized Pale-Pink Scarf
3. Racer-back Dress
4. Printed Day Dress
5. Jumpsuit
6. Bow Hair Tie
7. Sweater
8. Printed Evening Dress
9. Circle Necklace
10. Floppy Hat
11. Oversized Grey Scarf
12. Sunglasses
13. Huge Pale-Pink Leather Tote

Style | Crop Top Conundrum

So the weather is FINALLY looking like it could turn into Spring and my eye keeps getting caught by a certain Spring/Summer Trend.

The Crop Top.

Seriously?! Not something I have worn or purchased since, ooooh I don't know circa. 1997 (Zara S can vouch for my teenage love of a crop top).

Let's just say the Spice Girls have a LOT to answer for.

Now my question is this, as a 31 Year Old (ouch) Woman, can I still wear one?!

Ok, now you've stopped laughing I'll attempt to talk you through my thought process on this one.

I think the answer is in the "How".

Clearly anything with a lot of tummy showing (and belly button) is a big No, No. But there are a lots of looks around at the moment where you rock high-waisted shorts or a skirt, and just a slither of tummy showing.

I hit up Pinterest for some Pinspiration.

Maxi Skirt + Statement Necklace

Stripes + Tulle Skirt

Boho Chic (+ Champagne)

High Ponytail + Blazer

Laid Back Chic + Statement Bag

So, what do you think?

I'm going on the hunt! And I want one exactly like this......

The Crazy Cat Lady lives on! x
