First Look : Primark SS15

About a month ago Primark released a first look at some of the pieces from their Spring/Summer collection. I checked them out and singled out some of the ones that caught my eye.

Firstly though, there are certain aspects I look for in spring clothing. In colour I like pastels and monochrome, you may remember I mentioned that theme last year in THIS and THIS post. As for style, I like light, floaty, loose fitting clothes mostly.

 For summer I prefer fitted and cut-out styles, white and bright colours.

I look to flowers and nature for colouration inspiration and textures for spring clothing.

Below is a little colour palette I created looking at flowers that I just love for spring! For a new collection to catch my eye for spring they need to have these tones as a main theme for me. Primark seem to be doing just that from what I can tell.

Here are my picks from the items they have released (not all have prices yet):

 1. Tencil Maxi Mac £25 2. Floral Culottes, £14 3. Floral Canvas Rucksack, £8 4. White Lace Platform Espadrilles (price N/A) 5. Blue Mini Double Gusset Bag, £8 6. No name or price for this yet 7. Floral Cut Out Crop Top, £10 8. Stripe Co-Ord Top, £12 9. Primark Pink Bonded Scuba Mac, £23 10. Burnout Lace Prom Dress, £15 11. Jaquard Peplum Crop Top, £8 12. Crochet Midi Skirt, £12

No. 1 is not a colour I'd usually choose for Spring/Summer, more Autumn but I love the shape of it. No.2 I love the pattern but I am not a fan of cutlottes, though paired with the matching co-ord top No.7 I think it will look amazing.

What do you think of this collection so far?

Thanks for Reading!

What can I say, when I see these sugary tones my heart skips a beat! 

I am deeply in love with pastels and have been lusting after these particular items from Topshop, though I must admit I need to check out other stores selections as well, but as I'm in Topshop so often I knew the certain items I wanted to share with you guys, so I've dedicated an entire post just to Topshop. I don't know why I love these tones so much, I guess it's because they're so feminine and pretty. Since last summer I've slowly been growing my pastel clothing collection but I feel that it's far from complete and with the change in seasons coming up, more and more items are arriving in stores. Soon will be the day when I can wear them out in pride... well, I must admit I have been wearing a few bits and pieces throughout winter, I just find that they fit in better with the atmosphere of spring, so I can't wait for it's arrival!

Oh by the way, the stars next to the price is my own little rating of how much I desire that particular item (* is 'I can live without' and ***** is 'I simply must have it!'). 

Keep smiling!
