With the rise of the fashion bloggers, we seem to look up to them for inspiration and this season there seems to be a certain colour palette that's been adopted... nude. It may be plain but it is far from boring with an array of jewellery, macs and stilettos leading the way.

The easiest way to incorporate a chic nude ensemble is to keep the outfit very basic. so the extra accessories are the statement. Start with a rugged loose fit jean. We went for ripped washed denim with turn ups. In contrast, pair the slouchy jeans with a sheer top. In this instance, a loose wrap chiffon blouse works great. You can tuck the shirt into the waist band for a smarter finish.

Wear with a pair of nude stilettos which make the whole outfit look very chic and elegant. If you're not comfortable with walking in such high shoes, go for a strappy sandal or wedge. Bloggers and celebs are going crazy for the boxed YSL clutch, but at a whopping £795, not everyone has the funds, therefore opt for a similar style. We went for the this slick clutch from New Look at a fraction of the price.




To finish off any look, a nude mac works perfectly. Go for a loose slouchy version in the summer months that simply ties round the waist. It really is just for affect, but you never know what the weather has in store for us.

Jewellery should be kept to a minimum and should be subtle, but not take the focus away from the nude necessities, but enhance the look and throw a little bit of character into it. We went for the dainty Ariana Leaf Necklace, which compliments the outfit perfectly.

Finish with a nude lip pencil to make your lips full, yet natural. You can always add a clear gloss for extra luscious lips.

We are still in LOVE with the Monochrome trend for Summer, but we have played with the patterns and textures to create a summery version. The wide leg culottes are from Topshop. Topshop never let us down with the beautiful patterns for every season, this one no exception, with an overlapping busy floral print. We teamed it with a cotton scalloped textured tank. It's the perfect length, as you can tuck into the culottes or wear it loose over the top if you're having a lot to eat and drink. The scalloping softens the look.

It's time to dig out your sandals and cut out shoes. We went for a patent sandal version of a school shoe. The buckles and patent finish bring a bit of formality to the outfit, but still able to show a bit of flesh. This black leather rucky is great for a day out to pack all your essentials in. It's very versatile as it has a small strap, so it can be held as a handbag too.

When picking jewellery for this outfit, we were stuck for choice, as The Adorning Ava Monochrome Trend has such strong pieces this season. In the end, we decided on The Kyla Black Jewel Rope Necklace, as it's sets off the outfit perfectly. The design of the necklace is almost made to wear with the culottes. We chose The Leila Monochrome Hoop Earrings. The hoops bring of extra detail to the outfit. Don't forget, the sun is out so your outfit isn't complete without a pair of shades. The Black Round Cat Eye Sunglasses are one of our fave pairs at AAHQ.  They make any outfit look stylish.

Don't forget, it is England, so make sure you've packed you pocket umbrella. Those April showers have a way of creeping into May. For a Summery fresh look, keep your make up simple with a quick flick of eye liner and a clear lipgloss.
