Topshop Tropics

Woe is me, the common student - forced to simply browse and seldom buy in these hard financial times. BORE OFF, I want clothes and I want them now! I especially would LOVE some new summer beauties and found myself like a 'kid in a candy store' in Topshop this weekend, lusting over many many patterned things.

Here's the low-down:

Ever the sucker for ethnic and folk, especially when it's in a repeated tile print. These pieces make me want to go to Morocco or Turkey and bring back a whole suitcase of painted ceramic tableware.

1 - Folk Print Crop Top : £40

2 - Tile Tassel Longline Bikini : £36

3 - Tile Print Runner Shorts : £12

You can't get much more tropical than wearing half a rainforest on your body.

4 - Tropical Off The Shoulder Dress by Rare : £42

5 - Lemon Print Skort : £34

6 - Heavenly Two Part Wedge : £30

These pretty blues and pastel patterns are fab for SS14 (it's coming, slowly but surely, but it's coming) I imagine the jumpsuit is effortless to wear in the heat and the style also comes in a casual shirt dress and a playsuit!

7 - Tropical Print Boilder Suit : £65

8 - Mix Match Panel Floral Tee : £38

9 - Blue Gingham Joni Jeans : £38

Dr Martens #STANDFORSOMETHINGNCL

POSSIBLY THE BEST UNI MODULE EVER

I come to the end of my 2nd year and a huge sign of relief passes the group as we're not quite sure how we did it this semester. 

As part of the current #STANDFORSOMETHING Dr Martens PR campaign, this module (my favourite yet!) commissioned the development of our own EPR strategy and fashion film for the brand- to create a unique strategy, whilst maintaining DMs much loved brand aesthetics and attitudes.

I gladly called upon the loyal, creative, fashion-conscious students of Newcastle-upon-Tyne to celebrate the 1st birthday of its primary store. QR codes are hidden around the city, and when scanned, a sparkling array of Dr Martens prizes can be won. Here, my 3 minute fashion film introduces some of Newcastle's preppy residents and some key competition locations!
