Hello! So those of you who follow me on social media may have seen that I’ve been working with my local shopping centre, Freshney Place, Grimsby. The day job often means wearing many different hats, from social media manager, copywriter, blogger and even stylist. As Freshney Stylist I work with East Coast Pictures, it is my job to style the seasonal shoots for the centre which means sourcing all the clothes, putting outfits together, styling the shoot and then writing style pieces for them. The result of which, I thought I’d share on the blog today!

The
floral embroidery trend was huge last season and continues to be
throughout Spring Summer, with beautiful blooms adorning everything
from jeans and dresses to shoes and bags. You can go as full on as
you like with this trend by mixing prints or keep it simple and use
one statement piece to show off this gorgeous look.

For this
trend I headed to New Look and chose a classic stripe blouse which
features the all important floral embroidery, I teamed it with a
great pair of distressed denim jeans and pretty soft peach
gucci-inspired loafers. If jeans aren’t your style, you can always
swap them out for a pair of peg-leg trousers.

Soft
pinks and khaki tones are everywhere this season, but it’s not just
for the girls. Pink for guys is a really strong trend and the key to
working it is in the shade. Go for soft, muted tones like salmon,
dusky roses and pale baby pinks. Wear with denims and khaki for a
fresh on-trend look.

I went
for a dusky rose t-shirt and built the look around that, teaming it
with the ever popular bomber style jacket in that all important khaki
shade, I went for a classic slim fit jeans and grey dessert boots to
finish off the look, all items can be found at New Look. Try swapping
out the bomber jacket for a khaki blazer if the look feels a bit
young for you.

Scandi-cool:
Laid
back and cool, Scandinavian inspired fashion has been around for a
couple of years now. To achieve the look, keep colours to a monotone
pallet of black, white and grey. Think comfortable, casual and
unstructured. Clean lines and loose fitting garments are key. Now
that the trend has extended into children’s fashion there are lots of
cool cute combo’s appearing on the high street.

plenty of stretch so they’re great for running around in, teamed with
a classic nautical style t-shirt and cute pumps, this outfit is great

The
apple and raspberry crumble muffin combines everyone’s favourite
pudding with fresh seasonal raspberries. The tangy duo combined with
the sweet sugary crumble are so delicious and a great way to build up
those energy stores and hit the shops again!

So there you go guys, that’s what I’ve been up to work wise. And let me tell you, styling muffins is such a chore because you get to eat them afterwards as well. I know, how distressing.
