Dreaming Everyday

This week's theme on Fashion156 is 'Dreams' which is one I am all for! I may not be a heavy sleeper, but I do wish for nights full of wonderful dreams. If pyjama daywear could in any way encourage peaceful nights of sleep I would wear it everyday, and after this week's blog posts on Fashion156, I definitely feel like I should. 

I'm going to do something a bit different with post, and actually pick a few of my favourite ways to wear the trend and where you can pick up the pieces.

Bip Ling/Rihanna

Florence Welch/Jessica Alba

All the celebrities above are chanelling great all-in-one looks, and in my opinion this is the best way to go, dive in! But, for those of you that aren't so daring when it comes to all-over print, i'll put together some simpler looks for you to dip your toes in.

A suit is my favurite way to take on the pyjama trend as there are so many fabrics and prints you can mix & match to suit how loud you're feeling. This set from The Kooples is perfect the relaxed work look, but still looks smart and perfectly on trend when teameed with some pop-colour courts.

For the Summer months, when the heat doesn't permit trousers, team of pair of pyjama shorts with a basic tee or short-sleeved shirt. This is good way to wear all one colour, as your legs and feet will put you at ease.

Vintage lace shorts and Dip-due checked shorts from Topshop

Some of you may not believe that dress or comical prints really fit in this category, but what could actually be better!? A little lace and silk number wouldn't go a miss, and surely kids crazy disney/animal print pyjamas were everyone's favourites.

DIY

After a long time of talking about doing a few DIYs on my clothes, I finally got round to starting! While getting dressed yesterday, I decided I was bored of wearing trousers and it the weather was definitely too cold to wear a mini skirt, so I thought it was the perfect time to DIY my black maxi skirt from Topshop.

I bought the maxi skirt 5 months ago and have only worn it twice since. There was nothing particularly wrong with it, I just found it a bit boring and never could find an excuse to wear it. Now that I developed a more dressy sense of style, I thought it would be the perfect time to sort it out. Having wanted a maxi skirt with a side split for a while and not being able to justify buying one, my current skirt would have to do. So I just took the scissors to it and the next minute I had what I wanted!

A very simple DIY that I advise everyone to give a go if they are pondering the decision. Having a split makes the skirt more visually interesting as well as making it easier to walk in, and a bit of leg is always sexier than none at all :)

Here's the finished product!

Wardrobe Wants

While browsing through the Topshop website (as I do every morning) I built up a little lits of items that I would love to have. All the items are quite unique in my opinion and would look great in a range of outift combinations.

Dipdye Angora by Boutique, Cowboy Blouse by Sister Jane

ASHLEY Lace Front Sandals, PARAGON Zip Front High Sandals

Nude Leather Groove Harness

Little Boots

Topshop Ambush Side Zips Boots

Bought these little beauties from Topshop today and they couldn't be any more perfect! They fit like a glove and have the perfect size heel to them, as well as looking very much like the Acne Pistol Boots, but at a fraction of the price. I needed a pair of black ankle boots as I have a nice collection of heeled black boots that just don't do for everyday running around. With their simple detailing and great fit, these boots will go great with so many things and will last, definitely worth £75. Very happy with my purchase and I will be doing an outfit post with them soon.

Pretty Lady Things

All the above dresses are from Topshop and I want all of them. End of. Stare and drool ladies!
