We’re not just all about the chocolate and egg rolling this Easter. It’s a time to switch it up your Easter style and shine with our spring and summer essentials. From springtime accessories to the perfect statement bag, here are our top picks to leave you looking fabulous this Easter break.

The flower jewellery

For true Easter style, bring out the blooms. Take inspo from the budding daffs by pairing a delicate daisy necklace with matching earrings to evoke sunny days in the park, while a bold statement flower necklace looks beyond spring to balmy summer nights. Tassel earrings in light pastel shades let you shine bright on Easter days and nights out, feel as fresh as spring, even when the weather won’t cooperate.

The lightweight throw over

What’s sweeter than swapping woolly winter scarves for their lightweight pals? Not much. A classic silk number is bang on trend, and you can channel the Easter spirit with pastel bloom prints or soft ombre shades for a gentle nod to this spring’s look. Want to bring the glam? A gold or silver foil scarf gives proper cool points and means you’ll feel like a winner wherever you go.

The statement bag

Get your Mary Poppins on with an oversized bag. Large enough for your essentials (and more), a leather-look tote in pale tones packs a serious style punch, while remaining practical enough for Easter weekend picnics. Feeling contradictory? Swing all the way in the opposite direction with teeny tiny circle bags in shades as sweet as candy, while our cross-body numbers will mean you’re on trend, for a too-cool-for-school vibe try ours handy backpack that evokes nostalgic 90s vibes.

The fun accessories

Give Easter a shout with some cute themed accessories. Let your feet do the talking with some fun and fluffy socks featuring the stars of the show: frolicking lambs and bunnies. If that’s not your style, let floral trend blossoms over all the important parts of your life, from makeup bags to wallets, our new nature-influenced diary means you’ll stay organised and stylish: a winning combination.

The cool kids

The little ones deserve a fab new Easter look as well too. Whether it’s a candy-striped sequin bunny T-shirt to get them primed for their chocolate delivery, or a pack of click clack hair clips featuring rabbits, butterflies and flowers, there’s style for days this Easter. Our spring-inspired skipping rope will give excited Easter chicks a way of burning off the energy, while a bunny hair band completes the Easter morning look with a hint of cheekiness and maximum fun.

Oh, movie love! Nothing gets our hearts fluttering like a big-screen romance, and this Valentine’s Day we’re swooning over the top eight couples we’ll never stop shipping. If you’re in need of some V-Day viewing, grab your girls (and obligatory chocolates) and get all the *aww* feels from our rundown of relationship goals. Cupid couldn’t help himself with this lot.

1. Dionne and Murray from Clueless

For all their sass and bickering, we can’t help but crush on high-school sweethearts Dionne and Murray from Clueless. This cute-as couple are as strong for BFF Cher as they are for each other, and we’re more than a bit jel.

2. Allie and Noah from The Notebook

It doesn’t get more iconic than Noah and Allie. This pair from The Notebook are the definition of ‘meant to be together’, and we salute anyone who can get through their story without some serious tears.

3. Bridget and Mark from Bridget Jones’ Diary

Literally nothing makes us happier than when the babe that is Bridget Jones finally gets her happily ever after in Bridget Jones’s Baby. She and long-time love Mark Darcy are just the thing for a LOL-fest and feel-good vibes this Valentine’s Day.

4. Hitch & Sara from Hitch

Smooth operator Alex Hitchens seriously meets his match with Sara Melas in Hitch. No way is this your typical boy-meets-girl situ: expect goofy dancing, girl power and giggles along the way.

5. Cam and Mitch from Modern Family

If you and your babes wanna have a boxfest binge on V-Day, then get get your heart-eyes ready for Cam and Mitch on Modern Family. Fast-forward to their wedding (series four, episode 24 – you’re welcome) for all the LOLs and love on the most romantic day of the year.

6. Jamal & Latika from Slumdog Millionaire

No one deserves a love story more than Jamal and Latika from Slumdog Millionaire. Torn apart as kids and dragged into unimaginable struggles, these two found their way back to each other in a totally inspiring story. And yep, 20 million rupees was a nice touch.

7. Gatsby and Daisy from The Great Gatsby

Mega romance mixes with retro vibes in The Great Gatsby. When Jay Gatsby hosts the most glamorous parties like, ever, in his swanky millionaire’s mansion, his only goal is to get Daisy (aka social royalty) to attend. Now that’s the kind of effort we wanna see.

8. Santana and Brittany from Glee

Santana and Brittany gave us all of the warm and fuzzy feels on Glee, going from cheerleader besties with their fair share of struggles to actual married couple by season six. So much love.

9. Bella & Edward from Twilight

Bella and Edward’s epic love in Twilight will never get old – and not just because of the whole vampire thing. Even if you were Team Jacob (touchy subject?) you can’t deny that these two make the perfect pairing.

10. Belle and the Beast from Beauty & The Beast

Reminding us that looks mean zilch, Beauty & The Beast is the ultimate love story. Not only is Belle more fierce than Beast – yes girl! – she also gets to dress up in the most gorgeous gown and live in an enchanted castle. Talk about a fairy tale.

Not gonna lie, prom night is our fave thing to come from across the pond. And being the biggest deal of like, your whole school life, the dress code has to be ‘pull out all the stops’, right? That’s why we’ve lined up some of our favourite prom looks from the big screen, here to give you all the inspiration for the fanciest night of the year. From Blair Waldorf to Cady Heron, these leading ladies do it just right.

1. Sam Montgomery in A Cinderella Story

While we’ll never fully understand how her Prince Charming couldn’t tell who she was *eyeroll*, Sam’s masquerade look adds a little mystery to her end-of-year dance. Angelic white + all the sparkles = fairytale.

2. Kat in 10 Things I Hate About You

For all her in-your-face attitude, Kat’s prom look was pared-back and totally nineties. With cami straps and a string of pearls, this chic get-up is one that’ll survive the family photo album rounds for years to come.

3. Cady Heron in Mean Girls

OK, Cady screwed up a lot during her time at North Shore High – but one thing she smashed was prom night. The track jacket isn’t exactly the glam look we had in mind, but everything about this Mathletes mash-up means she stuck to her true self, and that deserves a crown surely.

4. Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl

Blair’s prom dress had us on the edge of our seats even more than her jaw-dropping antics on Gossip Girl. Channelling all the couture vibes (only the best for Queen B, natch) her Marchesa gown has a total princess shape and opulent gold details.

5. Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

When you’ve got magic on your side, there’s no excuse not to be your best self at prom. In pretty pink with femme-fabulous ruffles, it seems like Hermione did some timeturner tricks to make her Yule Ball look feel so this-season.

6. Taylor in She’s All That

We weren’t a fan of  her nasty ways, but when it comes to Taylor’s prom look we’ve only got love. This ultra-glam gown is oh-so-extra, but on the biggest night in your high school calendar, why the hell not?

7. Eleven in Stranger Things

Forget slaying demodogs, the biggest scenes were on the dance floor for Eleven and Mike. In the ultimate ‘80s throwback, she rocks puff sleeves like a pro and ties things together with a belt that says ‘I don’t try too hard’.

8. Gabrielle in High School Musical 3: Senior Year

Amidst their freak-outs about graduating, Troy and Gabrielle managed to look like megastars for their final performance. This gorgeous mini puts a modern spin on prom dressing, and the pretty flower corsage adds a touch of the tradish.

9. Hannah, Emily, Spencer and Aria in Pretty Little Liars

They didn’t know who A was, but Hannah, Emily, Spencer and Aria took their A-game to prom with look-at-me dresses and moody black liner. These PLL huns chose floor-length styles for all the drama and had us totally transfixed.

10. Sandy in Grease

Summer lovin’ happened so fast, but Sandy’s prom dress has stayed an icon for the long run. Swishy layers and retro vibes make this cutesy frock perfect for Pink Lades in the making.

The Occasion Edit >

2018 is in full swing – and this year, we’re all about living our best lives. To spread the feel-good vibes (and keep us motivated in bleak, bleak winter), we asked our fave blogger babes to share their game-changing goals with us through Insta-worthy vision boards – and ngl, they’re giving us life right now. First up: Shelley Morecroft, London-based petite fashion blogger at www.shelleymorecroft.co.uk. Here’s what she had to say…

My Vision Board

My main goal for 2018 is to travel more. I can’t wait to see more the world! I also want to become more confident in wearing vibrant colours and bold patterns, and what better way to do so than to wear the most stunning bikinis on a lovely holiday? The new year is also about staying true to myself. As Diane von Furstenberg one said, “Jewellery is like the perfect spice – it always complements what’s already there”. So I’ll be investing in new jewellery pieces to give me that last boost I need to rock any outfit and feel like I can conquer anything.
