TOP 5 ROUND SUNGLASSES UNDER £10
When the sun comes out in England you know about it. Tops come off, pale legs come out and everyone on your street seems to be having a BBQ. With the last couple of days being sunny(ish... or at least over 13 degrees) I have been provided with the perfect excuse to go sunglasses shopping. Having the head that I do, I find that a lot of sunglasses don't suit me and I spend hours trying on aviators and cat eye shapes to find that the only ones that look remotely ok are huge and give off Bug's Life vibes (not really the style I'm going for). But one style seems to come out on top every time and those beauties are round sunglasses.

SAVING THE PLANET ONE OUTFIT AT A TIME
It's Earth Week! For all of you not-yet-converted-eco-warriors who don't know, National Earth Day is on the 22nd April every year. The week around this date (that's this week if you weren't following) is dedicated to saving the planet and raising awareness on a worldwide scale. Whether it's using your empty milk cartons to create garden sculptures, saving water by not washing as much or using candles in the evening to save electricity we can all do our bit to help save the planet. Sound a bit over the top? Don't get me wrong, I love the planet (and I admit to being very strict on recycling EVERYTHING), but there are more fun ways to do your bit which don't have to involve colour-coded recycling bins and saving bowls of washing up water to water your plants with (yes I know people who do that).

ALEXANDER WANG X H&M
Despite being a fashion promotion student, I usually steer clear of designer x high street collaborations. This is mainly because 1. the ‘designer’ clothes don’t seem to differ much from what the rest of the shop sells (Rihanna’s winter 13 collection for River Island consisted of tartan and florals… River Island’s winter 13 collections consisted of tartan and florals...) and 2. it’s always horribly overpriced. However when I heard that H&M have announced a collaboration later this year with none other than Alexander Wang, I couldn’t help but let out a squeal of excitement.

THE MOM JEAN
I have to admit, I am pretty much 100% a skinny jeans gal. Despite seeing loads of women looking incredibly chic in straight legged, boyfriend and even (shock horror) bootcut jeans, they just don't seem to work for me and I always resort back to my black Zara skinnies. However recently there has been a new trend on the block that has caught my legs' attention; the Mom Jean.

HERE COMES THE BUN
First it was ridiculously fancy moustaches (thanks for that Movember), then unkept bushy beards (thanks Mumford and Sons), but now there is a male grooming trend that I actually like; the Man Bun.

TOP TROPICAL TRAINERS UNDER £26
With summer just around the corner (well, it was sunny yesterday) and the student loan using up space in my bank account, it's time to decide what I'm going to invest in for the new season. I have always been a fan of tropical prints but I feel like I've exhausted the bomber jackets and pyjama pants of previous years. So instead for 2014, I am going to focus on tropical print trainers.

KEEPING HER FEET ON THE GROUND: THE ROYAL DUCHESS
I don't know what it is about the Royal family but I LOVE them. Despite still not quite understanding what the Queen does (I'm hoping the Olympic parachute jump is a reflection of her duties) or even knowing who half of the royal relatives actually are (Lady Louise and Viscount Severn? Nope me neither) I think they're great, and one of the newest members, Kate Middleton, is my favourite.

KATE MOSS: STYLE-QUEEN OR HAS-BEEN?
No matter your opinion on Kate Moss (and come on now, everybody has one), she has long been a British fashion icon for both her modelling and her designing. After her last Topshop stint in 2007, she is now partnering up with the high-street giant once again, bringing out a new collection at the end of this month.
