Craving: Skinny Brown Belt

For this edition of craving, I figured I would write about a type of item I really want but not specify one particular product. So.... I'm currently craving a skinny brown belt. I wear a lot of different mini dresses paired with leggings and would really love to do something a little different with them. I think having the ability to cinch in the waist with a cute belt is a great way to be able to dress up or down your outfit and to decide how formal it's going to be. Also, skinny belts can look great on jeans or high waisted shorts or chinos (I also would love a pair of these!) so are uber useful!

The Remi and Reid Plated Skinny Belt in Brown from Urban Outfitters is particularly nice - I love the texture of the belt itself and the interesting extended skinny buckle that goes with it. So often the buckles on these belts are quite simple so its nice to see one thats a bit different. The Free People Kingsbury Triple Wrap Belt is also cute with its distressed look to the belt material and buckle and I love that it has the ability to look so different each time you put it on depending upon how you wrap it around yourself.

Craving: Urban Outfitters Straw Fedora

Fedora's are a great accesory for summer - stylish and useful as they are great for keeping cool in the summer heat. A particular favourite that I've been craving is the Urban Outfitters Straw Fedora with Grosgrain Ribbon in Cream. Ashley Tisdale was recently spotting rocking this hat on the beach in Maui and its been on my mind ever since (check out a style guide on AshleyStyle.net!)

I particularly like the design of the brim with its uneven rise and fall, and the fact that is not overly long so frames your face nicely. The shade of straw used is nice and looks perfect with blonde hair - I just hope it would look just as good with brunette hair like I have! I also like the design of the ribbon with its simple knot on the side - again the ribbon is not to wide or short but just frames the hat nicely and makes it more feminine! At £18, I don't think its all that expensive for Urban Outfitters quality either

What do you think of fedoras? A summer wardrobe staple? Let me know in the comments!
