SS14 : spring / summer inspired

Hello everyone and happy first day of the month. So last week I was look book crazy and since then I have compiled some other looks for you guys which I will share with you soon. I am always taking random pictures in my down time. Today's post like a visual mood board from my closet illustrating some things that give me that Spring / Summer inspiration. I will be using these things as inspiration for my upcoming look books, ootds and styling projects. This post will give you an idea of my creative process. I hope you enjoy. 

1) Selfies and updos. 

These pics were taken on one of my "let me mill around my room and come up with ideas" day. I learnt how to make an almost unwearable lipstick work for me and also that my hair could be styled into an up do. Also I discovered that I can wear a hat with the up do and not ruin my hair style. 

 2) Shoes and bags 

I've been investing in beautiful shoes that I can wear in the day time and below are some my efforts. As you can see some of these shoes are inspired by the 60s mod trend. I can't wait to style them. I also found some vintage sandals ( 2nd pic). Very 70s.  My clutch bag collection is as colourful as I am. Sometimes you need to lay things out otherwise you just forget about them.

3 Neon Lime

My colour for the summer/ spring period is neon anything. I can't wait to style these items. It would be interesting to see if I can pull off wearing all these things in one outfit. 

 4) Garlands and Lipsticks

Vivid colours inspired my summer and spring lips. Its all about the nudes, pinks, oranges and red and now that I have found love in garlands. I am never turning back. Nothing says summer like some beautiful head gear and the perfect lipstick.

5) Lovely babbles 

I'm falling in love with art deco inspired jewelry. I love statement pieces and unique pieces. 

6) So fresh 

I love the Victoria Secret Garden scents are amazing, Mine both have vanilla in them. The Hollister body spray smells like sweet grapefruit, it something I don't usually go for but I love this. As for the Zara perfume, that is going to need a whole post of it's own. The Zara perfumes are all dupes for high end perfumes. Great for everyday use and perfect size for your hand bag. 

 7) Nail Varnish Pretty
I'd like to thank the shops that sell nail varnish for 99p. That's why I have so many. These are all my summer colours.

 8) Sun glass love 

Sunglasses for me are a must have. I need them in the sun. My eyes can't cope. I have an extensive collection and below are just some of my faves.

 Well that's all for today folks. Have a blessed May day. What things make you feel spring and summer ready?
