The Monday Piece - Monsoon, Swimwear & Sunshine Essentials

This week's Monday Piece is on Monsoon and their new video featuring their top picks and essentials for Summer and what to pack to take on holiday! Every season Monsoon nail the print trends, and this season is no different - whether you're after a tie dye piece, a multi coloured bikini, or a printed Playsuit there's a huge choice of amazing clothing at Monsoon. One of my favourite Summer items has to be the embroidered kimono with fringedetail, it's a classic piece with a real boho feel to it - worn with some crochet shorts and a simple vest, or over a swimsuit on the beach it's amazing! As well as this the video also shows off the fab selection of  beach and holiday accessory essentials. Oversized floppy hats are guarenteed to glam up an easy outfit, then add some protective, statement sunglasses and layered jewellery and you're good to go! The new beach bags and Summer bags are ideal for holiday, the rucksack is just right for popping flight essentials in and will double up as a holiday bag for taking to the beach. Of course embellished maxi dresses also feature in the new collection - so easy to throw one on with a pair of simple Monsoon leather sandles, it makes a stunning outfit just right for an evening of paella and sangria on the seafront!
I hope enjoy the video :).

BHS Autumn/Winter 2013 Campaign

I hope you're having a good week so far. BHS have recently launched their new season campaign featuring the BHS Autumn/Winter collection. Directed by Swedish celebrity director Jonas Åkerlund and starring beautiful model Zuzana Gregorova, it is certainly a campaign that caught my eye! The high street store's collection is sassy, on trend, and reasonably priced - it features classic pieces such as tweed pencil skirts and boucle jackets, as well as on trend pieces such as a leather sleeved biker jacket priced at £55.00.
It has been described as a ’wearable and confident collection designed to suit every woman’, with so many classic, and fresh designs the high street store is sure to contend with competitors and is not what I would have expected from them. BHS wanted the collection to portray 'simplicity, elegance and sophistication’ - I completely agree and am coveting so many new bits from the store, especially the textured coat and sugary pastel pink blouse, deemed as the colour of the season it’s likely to sell out before I get my hands on it. I’ve also seen an electric blue roll neck for £10 which is such a bargain!
The colour palette is right up my street, featuring lots of monochrome, grey and red – colour combinations that look just right for the seasons ahead. There are also some super sleek, eye catching accessories in the range, noting the structured black bucket bag and leather gloves. BHS has 179 stores nationwide as well as an online store, so the collection is accessible to everyone.
I hope you enjoy the video below, what’s your favourite piece from the collection?
