White has always been known as an unwearable colour as it can be unpractical and I think it can make you look bigger then you really are. With this in mind, I thought I would have a look at injecting some white pieces into with some on-trend check and look at a long silhouette for a slim look.

You may have seen Dimepiece on the likes of Rihanna and Cara but I totally fell for this Mickey and the illegal leaf print jumper. With a unisex shape, I am wearing a Medium which gives a really relaxed look. It also comes in a good quality cotton which will be good for summer or winter.

You may have heard of Alice’s Pig before but if not, you have now! The brand is UK born and they produce original and unique pieces that are good quality and designed well. I love this Tartan skirt with a draped back and is normally worn highwaisted but I choose to wear mine a little lower. The Skirt is also made of very soft material and I think it’s ideal for all year round.

I am a sucker for leather and anything different and this bag from It’s not me, it’s you ticks both those boxes. The brand aim to create cool pieces that are totally unique and are perfect for making a statement. The red foil style on this bag is really different and I think the kooky slogan just completes the look.

I have a few pieces from Punky Pins now but the personalised necklaces they do are great for presents and for creating something unique. My family all call me Lolo so I thought this necklace would celebrate my nickname and give my outfits a personal touch too. Have a look at the other name pieces here as they have loads to choose from and you are bound to find one you love too!
