Well dolls and dudes I'm back after a very long and regenerating Easter break.  Sorry for the lack of posts but as this sartorial report is my full time passion but "second job" I have to give myself a hiatus now and again so I stay sane! 

I am back now though so expect full resumption of my regular musings throughout the rest of the spring summer season.

There have been loads of goings on in the fabulous, fashion world, both in our fair city and the rest of the globe over the past few weeks and I am looking forward to bringing you all the details over the next days... including the exciting details about the newest member of our team... our summer intern Mica!  

But firstly I will tell you about a little trip I went on last week. 

I was invited down to the new outfit store in Speke retail park last Thursday evening with a plethora of my fellow North West fashion blogger's to have a first peek at the new Spring Summer collections from the all of the Arcadia Groups popular high street retailers and all under one roof.  






For those of you not familiar with the retailer, Outfit is a single department store housing all of Mr Phillip Green's highstreet brands all under one roof including Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Evans, Miss Selfridge and Wallis.  The store also accomodates a wide range of mens brands but for my visit I was mostly concerned with the ladies fashion... sorry chaps but a gal has to concentrate while she shops.

I was met by the fabulous marketing manager for Arcadia Charlotte and the lovely area manager Ruth Todd who gave me £100 to spend on my favourite pieces!  Lets just say I got straight down to work! 




I was most certainly spoiled for choice! 

Here are a few of my current favourites from the store!





There is something about a Topshop shoe wall that makes me swoon!



If you purchase this fabulous matching leather two piece or any other similar crop top and midi skirt ensemble try styling it with a white shirt worn underneath, it looks very this season and gives plight to all of those of us with tummy shyness!



Evans Daisy and Eve Jewellery is certainly one to watch for current trend inspired jewels.




I am a big fan of Dorothy Perkins jeans, they are a great fit and really good quality for money.  With every trend and variation catered for they are my go to place for denim.  







I ended up coming away with a primary green cami and print peg pants from Dorothy Perkins, perfect for moving into spring.  The trousers have a jungle print and I cant wait to rock them with flats and heels.



I also purchased the new Topshop Espadrilles in Black Suede and Leather.  They are perfect spring footwear and remind me very much of Chanel's Espadrilles from spring summer 2013. 








Oh and finally a gorgeous neon pouchette from Topshop that I will no doubt use to death in the next couple of months, I love it! Its super cute! And the amazing matte nail varnish from Topshop, in my new favourite summer nail color Tabasco Trouble!  It certainly was a fab afternoon shopping.  I highly recommend you take yourselves down there.

Thats all for now but I shall be back tomorrow with more exciting news!

I hope your all ready for the glorious spring summer we have lying ahead.  Have a fabulous day!
