  4. #BLOGGED Zigzag shaped summer sandal delights from Atalanta Weller at Young British Designers.

    I love these sandals. They have all the comfort of a wedge but the deceptively slender back-view of a stiletto. Ta da! 

    Block Heel Zigzag Sandal by Atalanta Weller at Young British Designers

    Atalanta Weller has produced a stunning tan-caramel suede, block heel sandal with soft, pale cream, zigzag accents. The heel height is just over 3 inches - so very practical. I think these shoes well deserve a place on your holiday packing list, they’d be fab for adding a little extra length to your pins and a little extra wow to your outfits. 

    A few possible ways to wear them:

    Make your shoes the focal point of your outfit like Anna from South Molton St Style by wearing all black. Source: southmoltonststyle.com via Rebecca Elena on Pinterest

    Or do like Alexa Chung and dress-down your heels with a khaki military shirt, crochet vest, denim cut-off shorts and cute little ankle socks. Source: lilhipstergirl.blogspot.com via Sadora on Pinterest

    #BLOGGED Thank you, Charlotte Taylor @YBDfashion for a fresh new take on this summer’s party dress.

    So, I’ve had a look in my wardrobe and it turns out I own all sorts of prints…

    • Leopard
    • Snake
    • Herringbone
    • Paisley
    • Floral
    • Tarten
    • Trumpet Lantern
    • Parrot
    • Polkadot
    • Striped
    • Bird
    • Brocade
    • Oriental
    • Geometric
    • Cosmic
    • Monochrome

    The list goes on… and on… and on.

    BUT! I realise, I have never before owned or worn (in all seriousness) something resembling zebra print.

    You hear zebra and, admit it, you tend to think of a zebra crossing or of garish black and white mock-zebra stripes. However, you will be pleased to know, Charlotte Taylor has managed to sweep away those ghastly predictable connections and produce a fun, unexpected, young and pretty print that is perfect for introducing to your spring/summer 2013 wardrobe.

    Young British Designers stock a good selection of Charlotte Taylor pieces and her zebra range is pretty extensive.

    I am wearing loving the orange chevron striped Zebra Cotton Mini Dress by Charlotte Taylor at Young British Designers, £210 worn (above) with the fabulous Atalanta Weller Sea Blue Sandal Wedge. I find the repeating pattern of little zebra heads set against the quirky orange backdrop very fun.

    I also adore the chiffon maxi version of this zebra dress too, priced at £390. It would be perfect to wear as a guest for a friend’s spring/summer wedding. It’s rather demure neckline belies the sexy low v-cut back along with the pretty capped sleeves and chiffon floaty fabric, which make it a very wearable, lightweight summer staple.

    If you’re still a little scared of going ‘all out’ zebra, treat yourself to a little Charlotte Taylor scarf to dip your toe into the quirky Eastern inspired waters.

    I found this outfit post languishing amongst my unpublished photos. Oops! I took them on a day not too dissimilar, weather-wise, to today. It was wet, miserable and dreary. Oh JOY!

    I had wanted to wear a summer dress but it was a little cool outside so I decided to layer up a pair of cream tights and ankle boots over a H&M jersey sundress and my favourite Warehouse Gold Foil Print Metallic Cardigan.

    I’m Wearing…

    Dress: H&M (SS11) | Cardigan: Warehouse | Boots: Topshop, AIDEN Zip-up Ankle boots (SS11), Tights: you can buy similar ones from TightsPlease | Jewellery: Topshop Spiked Gold Cuff Bracelet. | Headband: Gift from my mum | Necklace: Primark (old).

    (image: Warehouse.co.uk)

    Which was £50 now £20 in their summer sale!

    This cardigan is great for layering up your look and still keeping is eyecatching and summery. It’s quite a smart piece that can pass for a little jacket and looks great over evening wear too.

    These are the tights that would help recreate this look…
