Pirate Bones

Reviewed in Diary Addictions.

Rompers are a wardrobe staple for tropical countries like ours. Let's see how our celebs wear them:

Nicole Richie keeps it classic with a black button down romper as she pairs it with a Balenciaga and nude Louboutin slingbacks. Our muse, Katy Perry, flaunts her spunk with a lemon yellow romper with a bright red waist belt and turquoise heels.

Keeping these looks in mind, we present you Pirate bones.

Check out the pretty vintage golden buttons! We love how it makes the romper so much more interesting. The brooch is detachable! Cute!

And look at this! Almost the entire back is smocked to ensure the best fit for your figure. Halter straps can be tucked in for a tube top look.



Material: Thick cotton/polyester (stretchable)
Size: UK6 - UK10

Can we say that we fell in love at first sight of Tik Tok? It was the same case as our initial reaction to the song. We loved it too much that it became our summer anthem of ‘09/’10. Bejewelled instead of be-buttoned (ha), its folds creating slimming lines that keep your outfit as preppy chic as possible. We love the pop colours and the fact that the colours look so… happy! If Ke$ha wouldn’t wear this, we’re sure this would most likely be something in a The Ting Tings video. Match this with a stripey top for some Frenchy inspiration, or a lacey top to keep things current. Needless to say you’ll be proud of this addition to your wardrobe!

You know this dress is a sure hit when it's named after something it attracts. Don the Summerboy this summer and, well, attract summerboys! :D

Suggestions: Too much cleavage? Wear a white tube underneath. Pair with a weaved cincher and some light gold flats and complete the boho look with tons of chunky bangles and a soft leather hobo bag.

Hayden Panettiere, Katie Cassidy and Mischa Barton pull off the leopard print in style without looking tacky.

Unleash the animal in you with this leopard print tulip skirt. Front double breasted pockets that are fully functional and close with gold steel zips. Rubberised waist that slips on and off you like a glove. Now on to the “what the heck do I wear with this?!” part… we know that it is a pain to decide on how to match animal print because it is such a strong pattern. We suggest plain coloured tops that are neutral coloured so that the attention goes to the skirt and you won’t end up being tacky. Trust us, when you are able to pull off this trend, you’re one step closer to being the ultimate fashionista.
