Petite Paris - La Redoute Spring Summer 2014 Collection OOTD*



Review Piece For La Redoute
Spring Summer 2014 Collection

There are so many online stores and brochure companies now on the fashion scene, and La Redoute has been one that I've noticed advertise frequently with their French style fashion. I was contacted by a team member in regards to their launch of their spring/summer 2014 collection, to be given the opportunity to review an item was very honorable. 
As I browsed their new collection, I was thinking in terms of something that would become great use to me, an item which could be dressed up or down.

All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to say them.

Finally making my decision, I opted for the round neck embellished sweater with 3/4 sleeves. The Jewell trim has been something that caught my eye, as I've seen many sweaters taking on this style which gives it that added sparkle detail!

On receiving the item, to my surprise it wasn't at all creased and all of the jewel pieces were intact. The sweater fabric was soft to the touch, not at all itchy and very light to wear, which I found perfect for the spring/summer weather we've been having here in the UK.

As i'm petite I found the sweater to fit comfortably on my frame and could be styled in many ways, I chose for these pictures some pastel jeans and sandals for a casual look. This item was a good quality piece and I'm sure even up to Autumn I will have plenty of wear from it!







Top - La Redoute
Jeans - Vero Moda
Sandals - Primark
Necklace - Vintage Vixen

The only concerns which I found with this sweater, was the fact that if there were to be an incident where the Jewels would fall off or be lost, there were no back up ones sent with the item to repair it. Also there was nothing stated on the way to wash this item! With this being said it's quite a delicate piece and needs to be looked after when washing the garment.

Feel free to check out the collection online and do let me know which is your favourite pieces in the comments bellow!

Thank you for reading lovelies!

*NEW* Feature Friday - Microcosmos 21st of February



New Feature Friday!
Featuring Microcosmos

Wow can't believe it is Friday already! Seems as if the weeks just fly by when its the run up of Feature Friday! Hope you are all doing well, sat comfortably and with a warm drink, ready to see this week's feature.
I was approached by Microcosmos during my usual social networking on Twitter in regards to my Friday Features; I had not come across this company before and when I clicked to see their website I was hugely surprised.. Their clothing is all completely unique and designed using premium Italian fabrics for sewing work and digital printing. It is almost like fashion artwork, they've created pieces such as T-shirts to even pregnancy wear! These garments have been made in Spain compliance with the principles of responsible trade made in Spain too! It's my pure delight to share this new exclusive company with you all!
