March11 is the clothing designer brand that has inspired the boho embroidery looks on the high street for SS16.

​When you consider that some garments can use over 3,000 metres of embroidery thread and take up to two weeks to complete you can start to appreciate the £1,000 plus price tag for the Kilim embroidered maxi dress, shown left, and above, top middle.

If you don't have that much to spend on your boho luxe style then labels to consider are Star Mela, Tularosa, Pampelone and Monsoon, the high street store renowned for it's embroidery heritage. 

Obviously the rest of the high street has an offering too, from Mango to French Connection and Zara; so whether you choose a Boho style for every day wear or prefer to keep it in reserve for your holiday wardrobe you're sure to find something for the Bohemian in you this season.

Click on the links to shop, have a great Bank holiday weekend and thanks for stopping by.

There's a lot of lace around for SS16, and today I'm wearing a Sandro top that has a lace insert on the back. I bought it from The Outnet.com, the discount designer fashion outlet, as I know and love their linen tops, and usually wear a size 2 so knew it would be a keeper!

​Click here to shop this Sandro lace trimmed top now £81, from £135.

If you're familiar with a designer label but don't necessarily want or need new season styles then it's always worth looking out for those brands at outlet stores or outlet sites. See more Sandro from theoutnet.com here.

I also love Iris & Ink, the label launched in 2012 which is exclusively available at theoutnet.com. It offers a range of considered, contemporary clothing with a designer look but without the designer price tag. See below and click on the link to see more of the collection.

Another reason to visit theoutnet.com, if you needed another reason that is, is the current shoe range from Charlotte Olympia, designed exclusively for their website. I love the Octavia cutout suede sandals, £285, which are perfect for a summer occasion outfit. See below for links and more and thanks for stopping by.

The white jean outfit

This light coloured layered look was from yesterday, in between the unexpected snow flurries!

I'm wearing a new pair of white skinny Lee jeans, although I prefer the denim of my old pair, as it seems a little bit thicker. The side pockets on these are fake too which eliminates a pocket bag showing through but is less practical for me, as I've always got a tissue or keys shoved into them!

I've been alternating my Zara structured trench with my Mango flowy trench over the past few weeks and as it's turned cooler opted for my Zara number. This is a longer version to the one shown in my outfit builder, however the light sand colour is very flattering for most skin tones.

Underneath I'm wearing my cream H&M silk blouse, from the Premium range, over a French Connection cream silk tank top, which are both old.

I've accessorised with Gucci sunglasses, still going strong, and a blush pink woven embroidered scarf, bought at a Delhi market, from my Monsoon/Accessorize buying days!  

Adidas Mi Stan Smith white leather trainers with grey laces finish off the look and keep it looking fresh. The blush and light grey highlights also work well together.

For those of you that prefer a more formal style of footwear I've also added a metallic ballerina from Massimo Dutti which will go well with this outfit.
