One of the hottest and biggest trends for this summer is white, absolutely everything white! White on white. White over white. White paired with white.

With the sun shining (hopefully) there is nothing more attractive than a white ensemble. What's more is the white clothes will bring out any tan you have. I absolutely love anything that enhances a tan, I personally think that a bit of a bronze glow makes me looks slimmer and healthier. I would be tanned all year round if I could be bothered to fake tan or jet off to hot countries, but alas I can no and so summer is my opportunity to bare my bronzed skin and wearing white definitely makes the most of this!

Fortunately, with white on white you can't really go wrong. You avoid colours clashes and patter clashes and get to experiment with shapes and textures. The most important thing about colour blocking is to replace the contrasting colours with contrasting textures so you keep your outfit interesting despite the lack of colour. 

One of the most exciting things about having a mono-coloured outfit is that it enhances any of the shapes and cuts that you have incorporated in to the outfit. Everything appears sleeker, sharper and classier.

There are so many white items for your wardrobe, most of the famous highstreet brands have pages and lookbooks filled with the "White Out" trend.

We have seen this white trend before, recently in 2012 in starred in high fashion catwalks as the summer trend, and here it is again! This means that many of us have white pieces that we can recycle and bring forward from the back of our wardrobes. 

My only problem with the all white trend is my own messiness! I am so clumsy and I can guarantee that whatever I eat/drink will end up being spilt down myself. But this is something I will have to master if I want to jump on this trend.

I already have a few all white outfits planned, although I am in need of some more white shoes and a bag! ( Always an excuse to shop, oops ) 

Let me know what you think of this summer trend!

Munch | Superfruit Breakfast Bowl

Breakfast is THE most important meal. It helps to set us up for the rest of the day and directs our eating habits. If you have a good, nutritious and healthy breakfast, the chance of you maintaining this eating pattern throughout the day is increased! Start the day off well and it's easier to maintain.

Personally, breakfast is also my favourite meal of the day so it's a big deal. I have an almost morning ritual of waking up and heading downstairs to the kitchen where I create my breakfast the same way I would a piece of art before sitting down to eat it. 

I love when my food looks good, it just becomes so much more appetising. If i present my food well then I feel much more inclined to eat it and to finish it all! I think that preparing and arranging fruit is super fun and easy. The colours and textures just looks very playful and fun, and also super healthy.



Blueberries are a massive SUPER food. While they may look small and inferior, they pack a mighty punch of benefits! Some of the super powers of blueberries :

• Great source of Vitamin C | Helps to maintain a healthy immune system.

• Huge antioxidant provider | Vitamin E, Vitamin A , Vitamin B complex e.t.c.

• Aids weightloss | Holds anti-biotic properties and bacteria fighting qualities.

• Help with digestion | Contains lots of fibre and vitamin compounds.

• 
  

Fruit and seeds go nicely together so i've just used a basic seed mix to sprinkle on top of the fruit salad for some extra vitamin E as i'm really trying to naturally clear my skin and promote healthy hair at the moment and seeds are fabulous for this!



As it was a lovely morning I went and sat outside to eat it in the sun, perfect! Although I did find a little baby spider crawling around trying to get into the bowl, but hey it's only wildlife! What do you love having for breakfast? Let me know your breakfast ideas.

Fruit is natures candy, it looks like sweets and most people much prefer fruit to veg! Unfortunately, fruit does contain a lot of sugar in the form of 'fructose' , the carbs held in the fruit come from sugar which inevitably makes them a bad carb source. HOWEVER, everything in moderation! I don't think you can really ever say eating a variety of fruits is a bad thing! 

 Finally I drizzled Maple Syrup over my Superfurit bowl as a sweet topping! I am absolutely obsessed with Maple Syrup and will use it whenever I can get away with it! I need to find some way to curve my maple 
craving though as it is full of sugar, but it made my breakfast super tasty. 

As it was a lovely morning I went and sat outside to eat in the sunshine, perfect!

All my love,
