Floral Dresses - we love em!

Whilst the sun has got his hat on and the Pimms season is truly on, what better print to wear than the floral. We are all over the florals & its many silhouettes.

Whether it's the strappy sun dress or the prom dress, everyone needs a bit of a floral in their wardrobe.

If you want more of a day look go for the jersey print in a skater, drop waist or midi silhouette.

However, if you are off to a festival we would definitely go for the chiffon maxi floral dress, very boho chic.

Whereas, we would go for this maxi prom dress for a summer ball or even a wedding, just try not to outshine the bride.

This trapeze day dress is a lust have, you have to agree it is very Carrie Bradshaw. Need, need, need it in my life.

As per, we have been Skadooshing our favourite florals for you to bring a bouquet of loveliness to any occasion. Keep Skadooshing girls, you don't want to miss a bargain on any trend.

Happy Skadooshing

Cool Mules

How ridiculously sexy are these red suede mules? At first I was not a lover of the mule trend but seeing these little beauties has definitely changed my opinion.

I love these sexy black mules worn with the 7/8th trousers.

Tibi's diamante embellished wedges are fabulous too - they remind me of Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City, she loved a pair of mule's.

Celine are all over this trend, we especially lust after these architectural heeled pair.

Wear them casually with you boyf's turned up.

Or team them up with a pair of skinnies or this season's midi. I am going to get some open toe stiletto's, there are many variations on the theme with the mules - whatever floats your boat. Maybe we should try a few pairs.

We have been Skadooshing the most delicious mules on the interweb so you just have to decide what you want to wear them with now. Happy Skadooshing

Blogger of the Week - Neon Blush

Neon Blush is Jenny Ong's little creative gem in the internet stratosphere.

Ong founded the blog in November 2010 as a creative outlet from her studies. Her style posts gave her an opportunity to express her love for fashion.

The L A born blogger photographs her lifestyle as well as her casual luxe west coast style by mixing high and low pieces.

Jenny successfully balances unique, trendier pieces and classic and timeless basics.

Here she wears (above) GUESS denim shortalls, Elyse Walker espadrilles, Saint Laurent bag, Nixon watch, Jennifer Zeuner cuff and necklace, 2 Bandits cuff. A gorgeous mix of designer and high street.

Do we spy a pair of Balenciaga cut out boots, Jenny loves a classic and these will be one day. It's evident she likes a pair of shorts too, we heart these Rag and Bone camo ones.

We love her exceptional taste in trinkets too. We have been Skadooshing some very similar gorgeous pieces to play around with your style.

Happy Skadooshing

Look of the Day - Dropped Waist

Our look of the day is all about the drop waist dress. After season's of fit and flare dresses, this is a welcomed silhouette that breaks the trend. We love this street shot, especially in the metallic which is also bang on trend. We have been Skadooshing some of our favourites on the inter web - love, love, love the nasygal ones. Happy Skadooshing

Resort 15 Preen Thornton Bregazzi

Congrats Preen on yet another gorgeous collection. Season upon seson the creative team of Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi continually seem to up their game.

There were elements of previous shows with asymetric hemlines and patchwork patterns still key to the collection but they had moved it on in a delicious way.

Sporty and dressy elements were teamed with a gorgeous selection of trench coats.

We simply need to be on the waiting list for a pair of these hybrid shoes that have all the weight of the cloite sole and then surprise, surprise they have this sexy stiletto heel, Genius!

There were some really lovely colour bursts in this collection, loved the yellow parka.

The beautiful mid tone blue was a keeper for this season and they have delicately laced up this gorgeous white blouse worn back with the navy culottes.

This stunner of a dress is bound to be a sell out with a little touch of neon lime on the cuff, love this.

With the oversized trend continuing, this trench with its pink highlight at the cuff is heading for our wish list when it hits the stores come January.

There was a nod to nautical with the navy and red sporty looks, altogether it was a very lust have collection with the gorgeous culottes, trenches, dressy day dresses, asymmetric hemlines which were more floaty and delicate this season and beautiful ikat prints, what's not to like.

We have been Skadooshing our favourite pieces from the summer collection which is completely divine too and it is already out there, don't you know. Happy Skadooshing

The Perfect White T Shirt

Almost as essential as the little black dress... The little white Tee.

If you simply add a biker jacket and pair of skinnies you have already got a perfect minimalist look.

If you want to glam up your plain t-shirts look, just do as our street style shot and add a vintage diamante necklace. Very chic. We are loving the drop shoulder setting and also the v neckline - very cute.

If you really want your outfit to shout about your shoes or skirt, a white t-shirt compliments but doesn't detract from your statement pieces, like this leather skirt and strappy sandals, anything more would be overkill.

The midi skater is a key look this season and the white t shirt is perfect for letting this trend do all the talking. Try this look with a crop t-shirt - delicious.

Love it with the printed trousers and statement necklace - cute! cute! cute!

It's super fabulous tied at the waist, need to accessorise my maxi with this look.

The white t-shirt is an essential investment every season to refresh your wardrobe. This season anything goes, oversized, cropped, v necked, slubby, woven................ as long as you team it with something bang on trend or more classics for a winning combination. For an edit on Skadoosh take a look at our faves. Happy Skadooshing

Dahlia gets summer ready

The ever-adorable boutique, Dahlia, has just launched it's new summer collection and we are oh-so in love. From cute floral co-ords to their loose trench coats, and all in pretty florals and pastels, they have everything you could ever want to complete your summer wardrobe. Their range of co-ords are an absolutely must have. We particularly love this floral one, with an organza overlay that makes it look delicate and sweet.

Or if you don't do sweet, this dotty and lace combo might be more your thing. Paired with sandals, or white lace up boots, it will look effortless and keep you cool on hot days.

They also stock a wide range of gorgeous dresses. This white lace one would be perfect dressed up or down, with heels and a clutch for a summer wedding, or with sandals for a date or say out. And the white is sure to show off any impressive tan!

Or if you're looking for something more casual, this white lace t-shirt dress is perfect. Adding a twist to a normal t-shirt dress to make sure you stand out, whilst still being easy to wear and cute.

And for those cool summer nights, and leading into autumn, they have the perfect coat. A loose and girly take on the original trench coat, it will look gorgeous draped over any outfit.

We have been skadooshing all our favourites from their collection, so go no further, and happy skadooshing!

Need a festival hat?!

It's Thursday, this might be the last day in the office if you are going to a festival this weekend - excited!

If you are doing a last minute dash to the shops I would definitely Skadoosh our edit from the interweb.

Girls if you are going to rock a hat this summer it has to be a fedora or a wide brim floppy hat.

Hats can cover up any bad hair day, perfect for festival bed head.

We adore this boho chic look, simply perfect with the lace kimono.

If you want to smash it to the back of the park like Alessandro Ambrosio in her tie dye hat why don't you Skadoosh our little beauties. Happy Skadooshing Sarah x

& The fourth X Factor judge is..........

Mel B will be joining Simon, Louis & Cheryl Cole on the X Factor panel this series.

Simon added: “I am thrilled that Mel B has agreed to be a judge on The X Factor this year. I thought she was fantastic as a guest judge a couple of years ago. She is feisty, opinionated and, I believe, will be a great mentor."

We are looking forward to the feisty Spice Girl rolling out some wow factor dresses. While Chezza does sexy, feminine and pretty, our Scary Spice Mel does impact, sexy and drama.

We have been Skadooshing Mel's love of gold metallic. We must start channeling her style - pronto. Happy Skadooshing

It's a fabulous look with shorts because it really gives you that layered look.
