Meet Lillian

Lillian, a 22 year old student in Cardiff.

We all have that one thing that we cannot live without right? Mine is pastel. I love it. It's a perfect trend when it comes to those Spring strolls into town and those nights out when you want to make a cheeky stylish statement. Pastel is very versatile. High fashion labels are all over it right now and if you fancy splashing some cash check out this Valentino number, I am in love with it. It's gorgeous isn't it? But don't worry my fellow lurkers, the high street love this trend too. Check out Miss Guided ASAP, they have so many pastel treats up for grabs! 

Lillian has done so well by teaming a pastel blazer with a floral dress, it looks so elegantly feminine and NY Fashion Week were huggge fans of floral prints this time round!  Not forgetting her over sized sunglasses, they give Lillian extra style points too. Is it me or do they have some magical power that just make any outfit look a billion times more glamorous? We're always bombarded with pictures of celebrities like Alexa Chung and Josh Beech looking sassy in a pair of sunnies, if they can do it then why can't we?

  • If you can't quite afford Valentino, the high street is a great alternative! Lillian got her pastel coat from Zara, and trust me they have so much to offer! Lillian's is out of stock, but this one is just as lovely.
  • Floral prints are essential this Spring. Boy oh boy are Topshop doing well with floral right now. This floral texture flippy dress is absolutely stunning!  Sign up to their mail list, and they will send you cheeky little discount codes straight to your inbox, marvelous.


Boys Shop Pastel Power:

  • Pastel shirts for boys are so lovely. They look so summery and this one from River Island is definitely up there when it comes to pastel! 
  • Afraid of doing too much pastel? Reckon its too feminine?  Solution: don't be afraid of adding a tiny hint of pastel in your outfit to avoid going OTT. A pastel tie will brighten up your outfit so much,  one like this defo deserves a place in your tie draw!

Don't be afraid to play around with pastel colours. They are ridiculously fun, and can say a lot about your personality and defo my top pick for #SpringStyle. So go on, what are your pastel faves?
