SS12 LOOK BOOKS : Miss Selfridge

 Miss Selfridge can be a bit hit or miss with me. On one hand, I like that they have cheaper essentials then Topshop but on the other hand, some of the stores don't carry a lot of the better stock and it can be really off putting going in there. However, they have revealed their Spring Summer look book and I can reveal - there are some really lovely pieces.

 Like this denim jacket with leather sleeves which I quite fancy. Short cropped jackets like this are incredibly easy to wear and comfortable. I seem to be feeling the denim biker look for this season, which is odd considering how many times I've avoided it. I would prefer if the sleeves were black but apart form that - its lovely.

 This floral print is identical to one Topshop had a few years ago - I think 2009 - and I was sickened I didn't buy it then. I'm going through a big pencil skirt thing at the moment as a reaction to all the maxi skirts I bought in 2011 and I'm slowly building a collection of them.

 The statement print. This is a great way to get in on the mad print trend which is taking over the high street thanks to Versace. Wear one printed piece with essentials like leather jackets or tights and let the print do the talking. I am really loving those printed trousers.

 The white maxi. This is a tricky one. Get it right and you look like Florence, but get it wrong and you look like some form of insane bridal wannabe. I like the idea of teaming with with a gold headband but I am also dying to dip dye it. I would pick something like blue and dunk the dress into the bucket of dye. I know this would ruin it - possibly - but it would stop it being a bit wedding-y.

 Leather jacket with printed shoulders.

If white maxi bridal-y dresses aren't your thing then why not try this one which is mid length and mint. I wouldn't dream of dip dying this one!

Anyway, there is plenty of trends on offer for next season and I can confirm the rest of the collection is just as lovely! The pieces should be hitting stores soon.
