BRIGHTS: DAY THREE


DAY THREE: Neon pink tee, H&M

I have become somewhat obsessed with H&M recently, I blame the necklaces from day one. I keep on trolling every time I'm in town, hoping for a new colour combination to drop in. Of course, while I'm in there I have to have a little look around (it'd be rude not to) and inevitably, I end up buying something.

About six years ago, I purchased the perfect soft dark grey marl tee from H&M. Years later, it's still going strong but despite hanging out in the basics section, I have never seen its soft, perfect cut replicated. Until recently. On another failed necklace troll, I casually sauntered over to the basics section, expecting to be disappointed once more in my search for another perfect grey tee.

Oh, how wrong I was. Not only did I find a round neck slightly lighter shade of grey version of the perfect tee but I also found this blinding neon version. It is so blinding that I daren't post it on here in all of its brightness for fear of damaging your retinas. The boyfriend says that when I wear it, I'm like the sun - you can't look directly at me.  All for £4.99. Excellent, I might need to buy a second, just in case.

Worn with: grey skinnies, Topshop; studded biker, Versace x H&M; sunglasses, Valentino.

TRANSITION: DAY TWENTY NINE



DAY TWENTY NINE: Neon friendship bracelet, Daniela Sigurd 


My new obsession with neon has been well documented over the last thirty days but I thought as I'm coming to the end of this edition, it would only be right to try and squeeze in one more little bit in the form of this bracelet. 


As you might've noticed from the daily photos, I wear a stack of bracelets on my right wrist every day. I never take them off until generally they fall off, just adding and adding. It got to a point last summer where I was wearing about 30, many of them random bits of string and I had to edit down, so I chose to go for a monochrome look with just one green Daisy Knights skull. 


However, now that summer is around the corner, I've decided that maybe it's time to add some colour, starting with this neon pink feather friendship bracelet from Daniela Sigurd. The second I saw her collection, it was pure and utter lust. The simple gold and silver charms are all threaded on colourful adjustable strings and at only £10, I've had to restrain myself from snapping up every combination going.


You can pick up one from Fashionbloodhound.com

AUTUMN: DAY ELEVEN

DAY ELEVEN: Hot pink chunky knit, Zara

During the menswear day of LFW, I had a little time to kill between shows and somehow, I ended up in Zara where I came across a fluorescent pink chunky knit. Now, those of you who've been reading for a while will know that earlier in the year, I decided to step out of my monochrome comfort zone and into colour. Needless to say, despite my best efforts, over time I have once again scuttled back to my black-and-white box.

Maybe it was the sleep deprivation or the food deprivation oh so common during fashion week, but suddenly I found myself unable to leave the shop without this jumper. And since then, I have worn it so often, it has become my best cost-per-wear purchase of the season. I call it my I-don't-wear-pink pink jumper, as seen here as Simona and I traipsed around the Albert Docks of Liverpool:
