Dixi Previews || "Woodstock & Luxe Bohemia"

     It'd like to start off by thanking Dixi for sending me another preview of their beautiful collections and the absence of this post (should of been up Thursday) is down to me catching a cold/flu off my little sister, causing me to be bed stricken for the past three days but I've gained up some energy to post some new content for you lovely readers! If you read till the end there will be a lovely discount for all you guys out there too!

    Dixi's latest collection coincides with their new website launch, featuring over a 100 new items along with some new chic packing acting as a safe little box to ensure your jewelry never gets lost and a lovely dressing table piece. These pieces featured below are not yet available to buy online, however they will be from this Sunday (28th) onward so get your cards at the ready as I'm sure the collection will sell out quite swiftly!



    Dixi has always been a favourite brand of mine for creating elegant, delicate pieces that on their own can be very statement pieces. Soft turquoises and greens run through the new collection quite rapidly, which is very exciting for myself as these earthy tones have always had a soft spot in my heart.  Not only are they incorporating these wonderful colours for the upcoming spring/summer trends but there is also a collection of lilac rose headbands which are my up most favourite piece from the whole collection! The bohemian trend will never become outdated for summer, and I'm so glad the original daisy chain bands have upgraded from the past two years to these beautiful crown like headbands! 
                                                   

     If you've got this far well done! Isn't the latest collection which will be out this Sunday (28th) one of the loveliest things you've seen this year, I'll definitely be counting up my pennies this weekend to make sure I at least own one piece of the collection. Like I promised there's a little surprise for you wonderful readers and it's a 10% discount, yay! From 28th April till the 6th May if you type to code BLOGGER10 at checkout you will receive 10% discount from your order, so you've no excuse not to order something! Tell me what you thought of the latest collection, do you love it, hate it? All comments will be appreciated, lets spread some love for Dixi!

Topshop || Tall Section Weekly Selections #1

Tall Polka Dot Body-con Dress || £29.00
    Thought I'd start off with a rather universal piece of clothing, and it's this navy blue body-con dress. I think these dresses are extremely flattering to all shapes, and can be dressed up and down with some tweaking of accessories! Now with this post being aimed towards Topshop's Tall Section, this dress is designed for ladies 5ft 7 and taller. I can't stress enough how hard it is to keep a dress you love without it shrinking up to your bottom after a few washes, but with extra inches added its impossible!

    The polka dot pattern is also another feature that I personally feel is universal, compared to other patterns such as strips that can make you appear a little tubbier than you actually all. Overall this dress is something I'm defiantly going to pick up on my next trip to Topshop and will be wearing it like crazy over spring/summer.

Tall Crochet Vest || £36.00
    The next item is aimed towards summer when it's getting quite warm and it's this crochet vest. I'm normally not a fan of vests even in the summer as they normally are over done with extreme patterns or are too plain. However Topshop have found the middle ground with the crochet/lace layer over the top of a plain vest. Something I quite like about this vest is that the patterned material runs past the end of the vets, translating onto maybe your shorts, leggings, jeans etc. This is a nice touch as the contrast of colour will really make the top half stand out. 

    Another thing I like about crochet material is that it is quite versatile in different heats. I'm not sure whether this happens with me personally but I find the material is able to keep me cool when it's hot and warmer when it's a bit breezy. The gaps in the thick material enable this switch in temperature, which is pretty handy to bring this piece from summer into winter later in the year. 

Tall Contrast Tee Dress || £42.00
    Next piece is another dress (I'm dress obsessed) and it's this lovely contrasting tee print dress. I remember seeing something along these lines during winter last year and never had chance to pick it up, but thankfully Topshop have brought it back for spring/summer. I really like how the prints work well together because they're both grey/white/black, where as if one was a bright, bold colour I don't think it would of worked so well. 

    Again I really love Topshop's Tall dresses because you are able to wear and keep them for a long time without them shrinking too much. I haven't put this theory into practice, but if your of average height and fancy a knee/calf length dress, I'm sure the Tall section with do you some justice without looking too frumpy. (Tell me in the comments if you've done this!) 

Tall Lasercut Waist Playsuit || £46.00
    The last item I'm really loving is this vibrant and bold playsuit. Same rules apply on how amazing the Tall section is for adding those extra inches, if you're not so happy about parading your legs about getting a Tall section playsuit is your best option. The cut of the legs rests in the middle of your thigh, showing some legs but not baring all. 

    The boldness instantly reminded me of summer and ice creams, the beach and holidays. I think this piece will be wonderful for the up-coming season, the lattice print gives the outfit some attitude allowing you to keep it plain with no accessories if it's too hot. If you want to dress it up for a night out, I would recommend gold jewellery to really make the outfit pop!
