Very Berry

At the moment I just can't get enough of the colour berry and i've been crushing on anything and everything in this wonderful shade. 

As autumn is vast approaching, the new Autumn/Winter fashion lines are being released and I have a feeling this vibrant colour will be right on trend this season. 

Don't get me wrong, I have been loving the bright colours of summer; give me mint and coral shades any day, but I am actually quite excited to start investing in some warm autumn colours (we're now in September after all).

My first item on my berry-crush list has to be this beautiful Topshop Berry Edge Paint Satchel. As soon as I layed eyes on this little beauty, I just had to have it, so it's definitely going in my shopping basket!

Next on my list are a pair of these gorgeous slipper shoes from ASOS, which are a bargain for £22! I think they would look lovely teamed with a pair of thick black tights-perfect for Autumn! 

A tartan skirt has been high on my wish-list since forever! Unfortunately I didn't manage to find a design which suited me last year; either to long (i'm a tad short at 5"1) or the wrong shape, but my prayers were answered when I discovered this Miss Selfridge Magenta Skirt. 

Although the colour isn't a typical berry shade, it's close enough for me! This would look lovely with a white knitted jumper and black patent shoes.

Channelling my love for nail polishes, I added another Barry M nail paint to my ever expanding collection. For only £2.99, I can't get enough of these little gem's and seeing as i'm going through a berry-trend at the moment, this Raspberry colour fitted the bill perfectly!

So there you have it, my new favourite colour at the moment and my top picks. The great thing about the colour berry is how it comes in a variety of different shades. Team this colour with light greys, creams, bottle greens and white for an on-trend look!

What do you think of my fashion finds and what colour will you be crushing on this autumn?

Geek-Chic

I have been wearing glasses now for a good few years; I admit I should probably wear them more often than I do, but I need them for driving, watching TV and occasionally computer work, if it's late and my eyes are ready to go to sleep.

The other day something quite misfortunate happened, which involved my poor pair of glasses getting chewed up and thrown about my cheeky Bichon Frise, Ralph!

After some stern words and attempting to fix them myself (whilst trying not to think of the damage this will probably make to my purse) I decided to take a trip to my local Specsavers, hoping they could save the day.

Seeing as I'm quite partial to a bit of spectacle wearing and i've had my old glasses for a couple of years now, I was secretly pleased that I had the chance to browse the displays and have a go at trying some new frames on!

Now, I do love the 'geek-chic' look and a pair of retro-framed specs teamed with a pretty blouse and chunky cardigan will always make me go weak at the knees. But unfortunately a pair of oversized, thick-framed glasses, just does not suit me (insert sad face here). However, in keeping with my passion for geek-fashion, I indulged in a fancy new pair of geek-chic specs but just a slightly smaller version. 

These are called AYANNA and come in at £45 at Specsavers, which I feel is a bargain for a pair of good-quality glasses, that I won't necessarily be wearing everyday. Although the design is very similar to my previous ones, this time I opted for a different colour; a rich, claret red. 

This colour is great for complimenting blue, green or hazel coloured eyes as the frame has bluish undertones. They are also a subtle shade of red, so they won't clash with any bright colours you choose to wear. 

I can now relax as I have a fresh new pair of glasses, which I can safely say are securely placed in their new case and out of reach from my cheeky little pup! 

What are your thoughts on geek-chic glasses and how would you style these statement frames?

I hope i'm doing this right?

I have been waiting to start my own blog, for what feels like a lifetime. After spending countless evenings and rainy afternoons reading blogs I so greatly admire, I've decided to take the plunge and go for it, which I couldn't be more excited about!

I'm not sure if I will have anything remarkable to say or if anyone will actually read what I post, but I love the idea that I have some space in this huge internet world to try and be creative. I love that by having this blog, I can diarise all my favourite things, from daily goings-on to posting about my recent fashion finds which are rarely seen by anyone and let's face it, are normally kept hanging inside my wardrobe! I feel like there is no better place to showcase them than here.

As i'm a newbie to the blogging world, any fellow bloggers who can share advice or just say hi, would be lovely. I’m hoping Introducing Lexi will help me connect with other beauty and lifestyle lovers, find some new products and have some fun.

So let's see if I can get this thing going!
