1 Kimono, 2 Ways- From Day To Night!

5.10.2014

Hey everyone,

Although I love both fashion and beauty equally, it is fashion I feel most passionate about, and I've decided to bring some of my styling work to blog. After fiddling around with numerous layouts and websites, I find Polyvore the best for making fashion collages like the one below!

Moving on, I've been lusting after a kimono since the start of the Spring, and I'm still on the hunt for the perfect one. I came across this floral print one from New Look, and I'm definitely going to consider buying it. I love how versatile it looks, and the fringe finish definitely brings a festival element to it. That considered, that doesn't mean you can't dress up a kimono! I think this one in particular would look beautiful over a dress and heels for a night out. 
For the daytime look I decided to keep things boho and very Kendall Jenner-at-coachella inspired. Although black can be quite warm in Summer, I still love the overall effect with the Topshop bralet and shorts, paired with heeled boots from New Look. Flower crowns are certainly making a comeback this Summer and can be found in most highstreet stores. I kept the jewellery simple with an Alex & Ani bracelet and a New Look pendant.

At night you can afford to add some glam , so I chose this super pretty dress from Vero Moda. I love how the colour compliments the floral print in the kimono, and the sparkly gold clutch really    sets it all together in my opinion! A chunky necklace would definitely make a statement whilst complimenting the clutch.

Will you be rocking a kimono this season?
