Secret Santa Codes!

Hi all, well it’s that time of year again 🙂

Are we allowed to say the C word? I think so….. Here it comes: Christmas!!! It’s coming up fast and that means treats for you and treats for them. Because honestly, is it even possible to purely buy for others and never get a secret little cheeky gift to self? So here at Toppingyou blog we like to give a little Secret Santa code out to help any guilt subside. Just add yourself onto the Top Deals newsletter on the sidebar and wait to see which automated code you get.

Happy shopping!

70s fashion is back – and Coachella festival reminds us how it’s done

In the shadow of Madonna and Drakes’ “kiss” (he loved it, he just doesn’t like lipstick… hmmm…) there is the FASHION. Now, we all know that (sadly?) Coachella makes one think of fashion way before one recalls it’s a music festival – amirite?

And what’s more, we know the strict Coachella uniform: one that Toppingyou can certainly provide 😉 – cut off denim shorts, graphic tees, billowy blouses, belts, and boots. Alternatively, some go for the pretty floral dress, maxi skirt route. Lace was a trend this year, and this skirt would be perfect!

But surprisingly, actually I hate to admit it: I loved Kendall Jenner’s overtly 70s style! The waistcoat, the bikini, the floppy hat, those graphic flares! (Similar 70s palazzo style here imminently! Keep a look out…) 70s style is back. And it’s one of my favourite – who can resist a floaty dress and floral headband?

Let’s take a look at some of this year’s festival outfits!

– That 70s high waistband! Check here for similar

– The failsafe middie to low waisted denim cut offs! (Bella Thorne, Alessandra Ambrosio and Vanessa Hudgens)

– Jared Leto and his zebra trousers! (look out for similar printed trousers here very soon!)

The wizened Coachella attendee, Kate Bosworth, ups the ante in a chic getup including the lustworthy Valentino bag (Rosie Huntington Whitely also had that bag, in white) – gives an otherwise boho outfit a very elegant edge:

Otherwise, a jumper even if black, can be forgiven if there’s a cute sparkly animal on it 😉

christmas-partyYes, it’s finally civilised to say the C word: Christmas is hurtling towards us and it’s a time for giving (well, you might get yourself a few cheeky gifts along the way, but that’s a hazard of being in shopping mode I say!) To sweeten things up, here at Toppingyou blog, a Secret Santa code is issued a month before Christmas. As ever, items are sent same or next day delivery with tracking to ensure it’s ready – and most of all, cheaper and less stressful than a High Street nightmare excursion.

There will also be upcoming shipping deals for multiple purchases (available internationally too) so watch this space 😀

Happy shopping!

 

Springtime – Hurrah!

Warm weather beckons at last, and now’s the best time to be wearing clashing prints and crop tops! Many new rare and discontinued items from Topshop are due to be added, please watch the site as it is currently in its development stages with many new bargains to be had! The Toppingyou ebay store continues – but ideally this will soon be the only Toppingyou sales platform, so be sure to sign up to my newsletter (see sidebar)

Inspiration time, mix clashing prints with denim or camo; or mix floral loud prints with sheer pretty blouses and girly shoes! This scribble graffiti style dress is an easy way to get that high impact haphazard edge, just mix it with a cropped army style jacket and sandals – but have a browse for plenty of options to suit your style!

90s Fashion is BACK!

London Fashion Week has revealed a surprising trend – the 90s grunge look is back. Channel My So Called Life, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air – you get the idea! Grunge, that no-no combo double denim, hip hop bagginess – it’s all BACK!

Check out House Of Holland baggy mismatched prints, dungarees and crop tops, cropped trousers, tie dye – and of course a great retro 90s soundtrack here.

And dungarees are back, not only did House of Holland feature them heavily – printed ones and plain ones, but also Topshop Unique (with a baggy shirt underneath), Acne (with a bomber jacket underneath) Margaret Howell featured utility denim dungarees and over in Milan, Max Mara featured silk dungarees and kick flare cropped trousers. Crop trousers especially with a kick flare will be coming back in a big way: Prada, Moschino and Gucci all featured variations of them!

Get your fix right here…

Denim dungarees

Denim skirts…

Baggy silk shirt dress

And it wouldn’t be 90s fashion without military combat jackets, shirts and dresses!

Bomber Jacket, Boots, tie dye… Look out for more stock to be added soon!

‘Summer Blues’?

The very first of my fashion installments is regrettably influenced by ‘Summer Blues’. No, not a blog post on wearing gorgeous shades of aqua (although that is an idea…! How about this teal dress!?) ‘Summer Blues’ refers to the UK Summer – which has been pretty dire. Now, what better way to liven up a dreary wet day than some FLORAL PRINT!?

Yes floral print has been everywhere lately. Floral print dresses are always an essential Spring Summer fashion trend, but this year it has spread to denim too: Denim floral print jeans and shorts have become a regular staple.

Mix prints with prints if you’d like to channel Lady Gaga or Jessie J and be noticed. How about these citrus print leggings? Or, channel Katie Holmes, The Saturdays girls and many others – for a subtle yet eye-catching floral print jeans combination. You’ll find floral print denim almost as versatile as your standard jeans: mix them with a white linen trilby or some chunky knitwear, a graphic Tee (this one is too cute!) or keep things understated in a simple plain top and flat shoes.

If your legs are up to it, get inspired by Emma Stone, Rhianna (in Topshop floral shorts) and grown up glamour like Katherine Jenkins – and wear floral print shorts! But, if even floral jeans are too radical – why not at least wear a sheer floral blouse with denim. Here are a couple for you to check out: pansy blouse or petal print. Why not search ‘floral’ and see what you can come up with? Many more new styles and items to come! Oh, and don’t forget to share any good ideas you have… Don’t let’s allow miserable weather to stop our summer wardrobe from blooming!
