Nike x Liberty London

I'm so excited to be writing this post (how sad am I?!) I have been in love with the Nike x Liberty collection ever since it was released and I thought I'd treat myself as "well done on surviving your first year of university" present. My trainers are the Internationalist and they are without a doubt the best looking pair of trainers I own and they are the comfiest shoes I own! They're so easy to style as well, as I'm someone who normally tends to wear block/plain colours and keep my outfits looking minimalistic, I find these trainers just really add something to my outfit and they look so pretty sat in my wardrobe, win win situation right?! The first day that I styled them I wore them with black jeans, a black boyfriend t-shirt from ASOS, a vintage denim shirt and a little handbag from H&M! I've also paired them with some slouchy bottoms from ASOS and a checked shirt and I love the look of the outfit, I feel as if I've found myself a new style all from a pair of trainers, how revolutionary?! Anyway, I'll link the trainers (even though they're out of stock) from the Liberty website where you can browse the whole collection! http://www.liberty.co.uk/fcp/product/Liberty//Blue-Liberty-Print-Internationalist-Trainers-/104104

Hey guys!
I thought I'd share with you one of my favourite outfits that I've put together recently. Last night was girls night with a few of my gal pals and I just love this outfit, I think it's really nice for summer time. I'm not normally one for colour, anyone who knows me will know I spend my life in black clothing so I pushed myself to add colour to my wardrobe this summer. The shirt is from ASOS and it's a recent purchase and I am IN LOVE, the print is so pretty and the colours complement any outfit you put together, the jeans are an old pair that I found buried away in the back of my wardrobe from New Look and then some plain white converse to keep with the light colour scheme I seemed to have going on last night! 

Asos Haul - Monki

Hey guys!
I've finally finished my first year of University for summer and I'm dedicating this summer to blogging a lot more! I've recently just got myself a new job too so I thought that would be the perfect excuse to buy myself lots of new office wear and experiment with outfit choices I never really have done before!

I was trolling Asos just as any other fashion lover does on a regular basis and I found myself shopping on the Monki section of the website, I've never really given Monki a chance but I found myself wanting absolutely everything but I stopped myself from buying everything and brought myself just a few things.

 This jumper was the first thing that caught my eye, I love the print and it's not too heavy fabric wise. I thought this would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe for when it's a cold summer evening and I just want something to throw on.

 This jumper is a little bit out of my comfort zone as I'm normally anti animal print when it comes to clothes but I just love this. It's a subtle zebra print and the fabric is really thin so it'll still be okay to wear in the summer and won't feel too hot.

This purchase was my most favourite, I don't think you can ever go wrong with a chiffon shirt and this is just perfect for summer, the print is absolutely gorgeous and the fabric is so thin and light and just perfect for summer! I think this would also work really well dressed up with a pencil skirt or dressed down with a pair of skinny jeans!

So that's it for my Asos/Monki haul, it might not be interesting to some people but I thought I'd share it with you all and kick start my summer of blogging with something small to ease myself back into writing mode! Let me know if you want to see more posts like this or what posts you'd like to see in general and don't forget to follow me on twitter and instagram for other updates and photos and all that shiz - @ellie_christmas
