A sneak peak into Spring/Summer style at Miss Selfridge!


Walking into Miss Selfridge, first thing I notice is how clean and tidy it is.. sometimes this is hard to find! I was greeted by all the lovely staff straight away.. something else you don’t get very often! This store is immaculate, the graphics look fantastic and the trends are merchandised fantastically.

Miss Selfridge Swansea Store.






I interviewed the manager Laura at Miss Selfridge in Swansea, to try and find out what’s hot this spring summer. Here’s the inside scoop!









▪ So what is going to be big this spring summer?
“Expect to see lots of powerful prints and festival wear. I have seen some of the stock that will be hitting stores soon and it is amazing!  It’s something for all customers to look forward too!”

I’ve had a look at the up and coming look book, and although I can’t show you it.. trust me, the stock looks fantastic! I cannot wait to buy it.
 
Any particular colour palettes/trends?

"There are a lot of pastels, aztec and prints in this spring summer! As you can see from our new print leggings, they are fabulous! I love the way they have incorporated the pastel colours with the aztec print.” 

“Tropical print is going to be huge this summer! I love this print and already have the Hawaiian Print Dress. As it isn’t quite summer yet, I paired this with a denim crop jacket! This tropical print is eye-catching and bright, getting me in the mood for the summer!”












"Pastel colours are a very popular choice this spring/summer. My wardrobe will be full of these as I love pastel colours as they are so girly and feminine. There are so many pastel coloured denim too, from yellow to purple. I love it!"


“Miss Selfridge have just launched its ‘Designed By’ range, which is all fabulous bright tropical prints.. Definitely a must have!”






My favourite colour palette is the pastel colours. The chiffon floats so elegantly and can easily be dressed up or down.. Can’t wait to get my hands on these! 
For me, some of the ‘Designed By’ range is a bit too bright, but i’d imagine these would look fabulous on someone who isn’t afraid to try a new style!


▪ What should we be wearing this Spring Summer?
“Anything floaty and floral.. And from Miss Selfridge of course!”

▪ What is your best style advice?
“When shopping look for three key pieces;
One print item.
One colour item.
One patterned item.
By having 3 pieces, you can mix and match these items, and get much more wear out of them!”

▪ Is the new stock good value?
“For what your getting, it is fantastic value. The clothes are of a brilliant standard this year.”


Its true, the stock does seem a better standard this year.. even if some of the pieces are a  tiny bit more expensive, the quality of the clothing definitely makes up for it.


▪ And finally, what is your favourite outfit?
" I love this dress!! Very Carrie Bradshaw!”
Personally, I think the outlook for spring summer fashion, is much better than last year and the clothes that have come in, and are coming in are much better.



So, what do you think of the new spring summer collection?
Do you have any favourites?? Whats your spring summer essential? Leave some comments and let me know!

Get eyelashes just like Katy Perry.

Last week Miss Selfridge launched Katy Perry's new eyelash range online.. they are gorgeous, and affordable!

I personally always use Eylure lashes, as they're available almost everywhere and they are the best quality lashes I have used. The glue lasts all night long, and some even come with an eyelash applicator so you don't get glue all over your fingers and smudge your eye makeup!
Personally, my favourite is the 'Oh My' lashes, they are perfect for a night out as they are nice and thick but not too heavy. For a more natural look I would wear 'Oh Honey' lashes, as I already have quite long eyelashes, these would just gave them that extra boost!

Which one is your favourite?!
