There's something about the white organza and electric blue combination in this latest Missguided get up that I found totally irresistible. The hunt for the perfect mesh-insert style tee has been a long and hard one, but this new baby has me feeling pretty triumphant. It gives a peek at just the right amount of skin in just the right place, I've got my fair share of curvy bits so finding something mesh-y that looks flattering on my pear-shaped frame can be pretty tricky. These cigarette pants added the perfect colour-popping element to the outfit, finished off with a pair of lookalike Birks and a gorgeous new clutch that I picked up at the House of Fraser press day.

Last week I headed over to the opening of the new Wolford store in Marylebone, and what a fabulous evening it was. I've not spent a lot of time in the area since moving to London, but after a little walk through Marylebone en route to the event, I can see why the luxury Austrian label chose it as the home for their new boutique. Lingerie, hosiery and ready-to-wear filled the fresh-concept store, some stand out pieces for me were the Alara Forming Red Body, and the Josy Dress which I fell totally in love with after seeing it on the lovely PR, Sidonie. Being at the new store, I was able to get up close and personal with the beautiful garments and the quality in the fabrics they use is just incredible, every garment is so well made and looks beautiful on. I also spotted Daisy Lowe at the event looking amazing in the Wolford Fatal Dress, so that's another to add to your Wolford wish list. 
The boutique is located at number 22 Marylebone High Street, and is open daily from 10am - 7pm, and 12 noon - 6pm on Sundays, so if there's one thing you Londoners do this weekend, make sure it's to check out the beautiful new store. And, if you can't make it down to the store, check out their shop online at www.wolfordshop.co.uk.

Palm print is slowly becoming somewhat of an addiction for me, there's something about green leaves that I can't resist at the moment. I've had my eye on this Reiss bikini since I saw it on their Instagram, so of course I was totally in love with this silk scarf that I picked up at the Fashion Chick event. It adds just a tropical touch to any outfit and brings it right into the summer season. I also love the way the prints clash with my new Cos tee, I've been after a breton top for a while and spied this one on one of the beautifully minimal displays that Cos get so right. Only £12 too, absolute bargain. Keeping it comfy I wore my distressed boyfriend jeans and Whistles slip ons to complete the look, my trench thrown over the top to protect me from these random rain outbursts that have been gracing the sunshine. 

Palms & Stripes

With huge thanks to Mercedes Benz and Holler, last week I attended the new season of 24 premiere, Live Another Day. It was held in a venue overlooking London bridge and the Thames, an apt setting for the screening as this series was actually filmed in London. Having watched the show when I was younger with my family, attending the premiere and actually getting to briefly meet Keifer Sutherland was so exciting. He was ever the gentleman and even called me a sweetheart, probably after I said something terribly embarrassing about how good his performance was (cringe). I took my flatmate Nina along and we had such a good night filling up on canapes and wine, and also having the pleasure of meeting the absolute babe Rhiannon from Fashion Rocks My Socks. The whole evening was lovely, big thank you's to Mercedes Benz and Ally from Holler.

Now this collaboration with Warehouse is something I've been so excited to share with you guys. Today their Warehouse Weekender campaign launches, and it's all about ensuring their shoppers are well prepared for the best summer ever. 

As part of the #WarehouseWeekender I've teamed up with Warehouse to bring you my very own edit - 'A Weekend In Marrakech'. I can't even begin to tell you guys how in love I am with these pieces. All I need now is an actual 'Weekend in Marrakech' to do them all justice, but I happily settled for the colourful houses and eccentric bars of Notting Hill to shoot my edit. 

First up was the beautiful canary-yellow full-midi dress, ladylike and perfect to wear in the city from day to night. My second look features possibly my favourite piece - the baby blue leather maxi. It's the perfect cut, texture, colour and surprisingly it's not heavy to wear, a must-have statement piece for summer. With it I wore a gorgeous knitted funnel neck cream top, it has the subtlest sheen to it and compliments the blue leather perfectly. 

Next was an outfit I'd wear on a slightly more active day, camel riding perhaps? I'm not usually keen on shorts, but couldn't resist this geo print and for once I've found a pair that actually look flattering on me! I teamed it with a timeless leather and chiffon vest which, another of my favourite pieces. 

Lastly I chose the palm leaf dress, a piece I'd had my eye on since attending the Warehouse's Oxford St store opening a couple of months back. The shape is again really flattering, and I love how it can look like a two-piece set as well. And it's palm print. We all know how much I love palm print. Hence choosing the iPhone case to match as well. 

I also accessorised with some pieces that I knew would look great with each outfit, a staple pair of black suede sandals that were so comfy they didn't need any breaking in whatsoever, some reflective sunnies and a pendant necklace that to me has some sort of Moroccan charm about it, maybe it's the tassel.

Especially for the campaign, Grazia have teamed up with Warehouse to bring you an exclusive weekender edit perfect for any summer occasion, be it a party, festival or city break and will be showcased in Grazia magazine, online and in selected Warehouse stores.

Alongside the campaign Warehouse are giving one of you the chance to win an incredible prize - a specially designed Warehouse rucksack, a Weekender edit of 3 whole outfits from the Grazia edit plus the cost of a Weekender of your choice for you and a friend! Pretty amazing huh?

I'd also love to invite all of my Bristol readers to their in-store event at the Bristol Cribbs Causeway store where you can enjoy some complimentary pampering sessions alongside shopping their summer collection and the Grazia edits. And don't fret if you're not a Bristol girl - events are also taking place in the London Oxford St store (where Whinnie Williams will be DJing!), Manchester Trafford Centre, Belfast Victoria Square, Liverpool One, Dublin, Birmingham Bullring and Leeds Trinity. Definitely not one to miss!
