Beautiful
Boohoo
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with online
shopping; I’m finding more and more these days that I can’t find what I’m
looking for in actual shops, but I’m always scared about ordering online in
case I choose the wrong size and have to go through all the palaver of
returning (which I’m never entirely sure how to do!!). Boohoo has become one of
my favourite online clothing sites and I’m always amazed at the massive
selection and variety they offer. I particularly love Boohoo clothes in the
spring and summer with their beautiful prints and selection of sundresses and
playsuits, but from what I’ve seen of their spring collection so far they seem
to have pulled it out of the bag even more than usual this year. I’ve seen a
few hauls circling around on Instagram and Youtube and have found my wish list
getting a little out of control so I thought I’d share some of my favourite
pieces with you that my wardrobe is crying out for (honestly it is!!) 
Tapestry Smock Dress
Smock dresses are popping up all over the place at the moment
and they seem to be fast overtaking the much beloved skater dress. I love smock
dresses because they suit pretty much any shape and are so easy to just throw
on without needing much styling (not to mention they comfortably conceal any
food babies going on!) I’ve seen a few pretty ones in Primark but this little
Tapestry number has
really stolen my heart. I love the different colours it uses and how it looks
like Tapestry but isn’t actually Tapestry fabric. I think the appearance of
different textures really adds a bit of va-va-voom to basic outfits and I think
this would look lovely paired with a cropped denim jacket and chunky wedge
sandals. Of course it could be a little while still until we reach bare legs
weather, so I think this would also look stunning with black tights, a cropped
biker jacket and Chelsea boots. I like to wear smock dresses with cropped
jackets as I think they really pull the outfit together and prevent you from
looking swamped as well as showing off your figure a little bit. I do think £18
is quite steep for a dress, but this is such a versatile number that you’d be able
to get lots of wear out of so I think the price tag can be justified.
Cream Coatigan
What I love most about Coatigans is the comfortable and
simple way they sit because they don’t have any buttons. They’re perfect to
wear over a pretty top because they show plenty of the top detail whilst
keeping you nice and snug. I love this cream Boohoo coatigan because
it looks like a lovely knit that’s going to keep you warm without making you
break out in a sweat and it’s also the perfect length that can be worn over a
dress or a top and jeans. There’s something so fresh about wearing cream with pastel
and I literally cannot wait until it’s warm enough to wear a coatigan without a
winter coat and scarf! (Anyone else seriously had enough of winter now?!)
Chiffon Swing Dress
This is one of those dresses that as soon as I saw it I knew
it had to be mine. I love everything about it; the colour, the fabric, the
length, the sequin detail…Boohoo have really ticked every box in the spring
checklist with this beauty. I personally love peach but they also have it in
mint; I personally think that peach looks best with brunette hair and mint
looks best with blonde hair, but I also think if you love a colour you can find
a way of making it work for you! I’m incredibly pale so I will need to whack
out some fake tan to be able to wear this peach shade, but I particularly love
this dress because of the subtle yellow detail on the top panel which I think
breaks it up nicely and stops it from looking like a naked skin colour. Whilst
I do think this needs to be worn with bare legs, it’s a versatile little number
that will be both day and night time appropriate and the chiffon fabric means
it’ll be perfect for taking on summer holidays.
Fluffy Crop Jumper
Mohair style fabric was one of the most popular fabric
textures for AW13 and I’m super excited to see it’s going to continue into
SS14. I really love long sleeved cropped jumpers as they’re suitable for different
weathers and can be styled in lots of different ways. This little lilac option just
looks so soft and amazing I want to snuggle up in it and IT’S SO FLUFFY I WANNA
DIE (name that movie :P) I think this will look stunning either tucked into or
worn over a skater skirt, worn over a skater/swing dress or worn under a
dungaree or pinafore dress. I love how you can play around with crops to either
show a little strip of flesh or style them so you can’t see any flesh and I
think £20 is pretty reasonable for a good quality knitted jumper. I find Lilac
a bit of a difficult colour to wear, but they also have this in pink and lemon
which is another thing I love about Boohoo; they nearly always offer things in
different colours so you can find the one that’s perfect
for you. Love Holly x

To be honest I always look on Boohoo but I've never actually ordered off there before, I'm a little reluctant due to not knowing what the quality or sizing is like and I begrudge having to pay delivery or returns on something I might not keep. I love all the items you've picked here, especially the smock dress :) xx
