It might be July but it’s certainly not hot pants weather in Manchester. The heat of summer, and instead of denim shorts, I’m wearing jeans (and still a little chilly) but I reckon this is the best we’re going to get this year! Luckily I have this beautiful yellow paisley print tassledkimono from Marks and Spencer* (sent via the lovely ladies at the Fashion Chick Blogger network) to add a little sunshine to my day!
This beautiful kimono* from the Limited Edition section at M&S. I KNOW – I couldn’t believe it was from Marks and Spencer Either, but turns out their Limited Edition Collection is stunning, high quality and way more fashion forward that your traditional ‘Marks’ finds. With a stunning paisly print, white tassles and weighing pretty heavy, it’s fair to say this is an excellent quality piece!
Actually, as well as the kimono, I was sent these cool jeans via the Fashion Chick Blogger Network, too. Taking on the ‘ripped knee’ trend that’s swept the highstreet this season, these jeans are a cost-effective alternative to your usual pair – they’re actually from F&F Clothing at Tesco* and are a right bargain!
Despite it being jean weather, I couldn’t let the summer pass me by too much, so I popped on my most festival-esque accssories to make the most of the fleeting ‘non-rain weather’ in Manchester city centre. Note the feather necklace, gladiator sandals and Brit Stitch mini satchel – all old favourites, still going strong!

You look lovely, I love those jeans and think I might have to have a look at those, the kimono is lovely, I spotted a couple of nice things recently in M&S when I’d gone in with my mum who adores it and buys most of her clothes there and I was surprised at how many lovely things they had. Thank you for following my blog too lovely, I followed back and am really enjoying your posts, it’s nice to find a fellow northern blogger :) lots of love xxx

Lovely outfit! I’ve noticed that M&S seem to have had a fashion overhaul too! They’ve got some great pastel coloured pieces in at the moment and I was equally as surprised! X

Aw thank you Laura – I wasn’t sure if I DO truly pull it off that well, but that makes me feel better about it!

So summery, yet perfect for days where it’s not hot enough for shorts!
