With summer fast approaching it's the perfect time to make some changes to your home, freshen it up and get summer ready! Today I thought i'd share a few ways to get your home looking summer ready.

There are lots of affordable ways in which you can get your home looking summer ready. 

Using flowers and plants - adding a pop of colour using plants and flowers is a really easy and affordable way to make your home summery. I always have flowers in the flat. We also have a selection of plants, too add lots of colour to the flat. 

Accessories - Use accessories like candles, cushions and prints to add colour to a room. This is an easy to way to revamp a room without spending lots of money. I'm loving all the botanical prints that are around right now! 

Mirrors -  A big mirror will add more space to a room aswell as lots more light! A bigger and brighter space will instantly look lighter and more summery. 

Open all the windows and doors - I like to let lots of fresh air in and have a good clean this makes a room feel all new and fresh and perfect for the new season. 

Colour - Use colours to create a summery room. We have white walls so I prefer to add colour using accessories and furniture. You could use wallpaper or paint to create a feature wall that screams summer.  

With the summer upon us and the school holidays are about to start and so is summer wedding season. I thought i'd put together some outfit ideas for him and her. 

I love dressing up for a wedding, it's an excuse to go and and buy and whole new outfit. I picked out some pretty summery dresses. Pastels are always a good shout for a summer wedding. This pretty floral dress from New Look is a gorgeous print and a really pretty colour. I find bodycon styles like this are really flattering on me as I have an hourglass figure. 

These pale blue shoes from Topshop are so pretty, I love the colour and the wooden heel is lovely, I think they would be really comfy, perfect for a wedding.

I picked out this stripe dress from Topshop which is a lovely shape, I am a huge fan of  stripes. I'd wear this with these gorgeous strappy sandals from Kurt Geiger, these are such a stunning pair of sandals which you could wear time after time. 

I love this embellished bag from Accessorize, it's perfect for the summer wedding/ prom season. 

For the Guys

When it comes down to outfits for mens for weddings it's all about that perfect suit. There's some really lovely suits out there so I thought i'd share some inspiration with you. 

This Noose and Monkey suit is a really classic style I love the contrasting Velvet Lapel and I love the skinny fit of the jacket. It's a really nice quality suit that would be perfect for any occasion. Noose and Monkey have some really unique suits and shirts so check out their SS16 lookbook here to see their latest styles. 

I'm a sucker for a grey suit, this one from Topman would look fab with a nice skinny fit shirt and a grey bow tie like this one from Noose and Monkey. 

A pair of brown/ tan brogues are a great staple for any summer occasion, you can pop them on with any colour suit and they look smart but trendy. I really like brogues and think they are a classic style.

I love a check shirt, with a nice blazer to dress it up or on its own with jeans/ or trousers and some braces for a more casual occasion. 

One of my favourite things about the weather being cold is Boots, I would live in boots if I could. My favourite boots right now are my Chelsea boots, they have a thick chunky heel and are black. I wear them all the time. They are so comfy and versatile.  There's so many ways you can style your chelsea boots, for example in this outfit post i've gone for a black pleated skirt, this is my absolute favourite skirt, I wear it all the time. It was from River Island years and years ago. Today i'm wearing it with a basic striped top from Topshop. I've chose to pop on this huge chunky cardigan from H&M because its absolutely freezing. As I said I wear these boots with all kinds of outfits. They look so good with skirts and dresses.  I also wear them with my skinny jeans, I love how they look with my ripped knee skinny jeans from Zara, there's a photo below. There's so many different ways to wear your Chelsea Boots! If you don't have any Chelsea boots there's so many options to choose from, I love the look of the Vagabond Chelsea boots which you can get from Mastershoe Myshu, they have so many styles to choose from. I love these suede/ fluffy looking ones, these have a nice little heel as well so if your not great with heels there's still loads of choice.
