Top Fashion Picks for Spring Summer 2019

*Sponsored by Kture

Spring is around the corner and the Spring/Summer pieces and accessories are hitting the stores as I type. I love spring/summer fashion a lot. It is a good break from the big coats and boots. I find it refreshing to see some lighter/colourful pieces. Autumn/winter fashion is my favourite fashion season, but I am always eager to wear summery pieces once the weather warms up. The ability to show some extra skin is something I never take from granted considering the fact that I live in northern England where the weather is usually cold and miserable.

Here are my top fashion picks for spring summer 2019 –

 

KENZO Tiger Logo cotton sweatshirt £185

I am a huge fan of KENZO. There are a few KENZO pieces in my summer wardrobe already and I currently have my fashion eye on this stunning yellow Tiger Logo cotton sweatshirt. It is such a beauty! I love the logo and the bright yellow colour. It would look amazing with a pair of black/blue skinny jeans and heels.

What are you thoughts on this piece? I would so love to wear it this spring. If you are after jumpers like this stunning piece, then you are in luck. Check out the range of kenzo jumpers on kture.co.uk. There are so many trendy options available on the website.

This Knit Pullover with Cotton Shirt Detail is another KENZO piece I am loving. I really like the knit plus cotton design. It definitely stands out from the rest. Having this stylish shirt for spring would be lovely. It can be styled up and down, for work or for other outings. I really like this shirt. What do you think?

This River Island Faux Fur Camo Denim Miltary Coat Jacket Detachable Collar is another trendy piece I think I need. I love the camouflage print a lot, and this stylish piece ticks all the boxes. Apart from the trendy design, it is also practical, as it is light enough for spring months. I can see myself styling this coat with a pair of black jeans, heels and a simple top. It is so effortlessly chic, it won’t need too much work.

 

 

Tommy Hilfiger Poppy Backpack, Women’s Black £73.68

I find backpacks really comfy. It is a great way of having all my valuables with me when we are out and about. I find them easier to have when exploring the outdoors with the kids. This stunning black Tommy Hilfiger Poppy Backpack is a lovely accessory to have. I love the simple design. It looks like great value for money. Tommy Hilfiger clothing and accessories always catch my eye so the fact that I like this black backpack isn’t surprising. Having this lovely backpack this season will be the dream. 

 

 

Office Women’s Howie Closed Toe Heels £70

The last but not the least is the lovely looking beige (nude patent) Office Women’s Howie Closed Toe Heels. I would love this as a new addition to my shoe collection. The colour works great, I don’t have a pair in this shade so having this pair would be great. I have many outfits planned in my head already with this heels.

3 Ways to Transition to Freelance Successfully

Is leaving your job and going into freelancing full-time one of your goals for the year? As someone who transitioned from a 9-to-5 to freelancing, I know the questions you might have in mind. Questions like: “Am I making the right choice?” “Will I be able to make enough money in my first month to pay the bills and still get myself nice things?” “Will I be able to find clients or will anyone want to hire me?”

Leaving your stable job to go all in to a business where you cannot guarantee right away the level of income you’ll make is a terrifying step to take. However, with a clear plan that will help you ease into your dream life as a freelancer, you can safely transition to freelancing.

All it takes is to honestly answer these three questions. The answers you give will determine if you’re ready to jump into freelancing or if you need a bit more preparation before you dive into it full-time.

Question #1: On a scale of 1 to 10 how ready are you emotionally to dive into freelancing?

I agree that wanting to make the transition to being a full-time freelancer is nerve-wracking. But if you have a conviction that you will succeed and if you trust yourself that you have what it takes to thrive in the freelance industry, then there’s no stopping you.

Most of the times, people allow the fear of the unknown to paralyze their effort to actually make something big out of themselves. This kind of negative thinking is not a healthy sign of someone who is ready to create a career in freelancing.

It’s okay to be nervous or scared but so long as you believe in yourself and are determined to do what it takes to give value and grow as a freelancer, then you’re on the right track.

 

Question #2: On a scale of 1 to 10 how ready are you professionally and personally for freelancing?

Unlike working in a 9-to-5 where you’re accountable to your employer, as a freelancer, you are your own boss. Being the boss comes with a lot of responsibilities and you need to train yourself to handle such responsibilities.

Professionally, freelancing is a huge shift from the conventional. The freelancer lifestyle is very different from what you’re used to. It involves you spending most of your time at home and alone.

You have to be sure that you’ll be able to handle the changes that come with being a freelancer. Are you really ready for these changes and do you have a plan B just in case things don’t turn out according to plan? Or do you still need more time to accept the change?

Question #3: On a scale of 1 to 10 how ready are you commercially to be a freelancer?

You need to be aware of the risks involved with doing freelancing full-time. Are you financially ready to dive into the freelance career? Do you have enough money to live on pending when you are able to receive a comfortable income from freelancing? Do you already have a steady flow of client projects each month?

You can’t predict your income as a freelancer the way you could while working as an employee. Freelancing full-time has its highs and lows. And unless you’re financially ready to take the leap, then it’s best to work towards it.

 

Grade yourself

The highest score is 30. So if you got more than 15 then you’re ready to pursue your freelance career headlong. But if you got anything less than 15, then don’t worry. It’s only a sign that you have to work on yourself and make the necessary preparations to transition to freelancing.
