There's something about the summer.


Top- Primark £4 / Shorts- Uniqlo (last season) / Shoes- Topshop (old similar here)

Just a quick one to share with you an ootd post from my holiday. This was the look I wore on my second night when my tan was just starting to form. Made up of a cute Aztec Printed Crop Top from Primark for a mere £4..BARGAIN! Along with my trusty Oversized Shorts from Uniqlo, that I bought last summer for £15. I teamed this with my favourite summer clogs from Topshop. These are from last season, but they have similar ones available here. What do you think of my look? I’m not usually into prints, but this summer I seem to have bought so many different ones and they have actually really brightened up my wardrobe from the same old black, white & blue clothing which is quite nice.

I want to know what you guys think of prints, are they a staple summer piece for you?

Ill leave you with one of my favourite summer tracks by one of my star bands. Best Coast. Have you seen their blog?

I would appreciate if you could follow me on bloglovin here!

Life's a beach...

So the sun isn't making much of an appearance here and you'e all probably planning your summer holiday wardrobe as we speak. With that in mind I thought I'd show you a few of my holiday essentials I took away with me last week.





1. Sunglasses- eBay, H&M (old) & Primark / 2. Backpack- Fjallraven Kanken / 3. Nail Varnish- Barry M / 4. Hair Salt Spray and Hair Glue- Got 2 Be by Schwarzkopf  / 5. Necklace- c/o Matthew Williamson @ Debenhams

I always take a few pairs of sunnies with me and this year every pair seemed to be round, right round. geddit? Enough of the jokes...they were all pretty cheap and you can find similar ones on eBay here

I also took long my beloved Fjallraven Kanken backpack which my lovely little sis bought for me. Its so roomy which makes it great for the airport or when going to the sandy beaches! 

And if you know me you'll know I'm obsessed with nail varnish, I cannot count the amount of different colours I have on ten hands! These 3 summer shades are my most recent and i absolutely love them. The turquoise in particular is such a summer shade and and it makes you look even more tanned...BONUS! 

As well as looking after my nails I never forget about my hair and these 2 bargain products are a must for my holiday. The salt spray is perfect to give a little life into your hair during the day and the hairspray holds everything in place for your relaxed evenings and to stop the humidity creating a whole lotta frizz.

Finally this cute statement necklace from Matthew Williamson at Debenhams. I got this beauty from the sweet Jewellery team at Debenhams and to tell you the truth I didn't take it off! The mix of summer colours in contrast to the chunky black rope is real winner in my eyes and it continues my love for a statement necklace!

What do you think of my holiday essentials? What will you be taking with you?

Lucky Number 7

So are you enjoying the lovely weather?! I'm so happy that we have finally seen the sun and I've had the chance to wear some of my summer wardrobe!





For a Sunday afternoon in the village beer garden I wore this striped tee by House of Holland which I bought just before Christmas. I usually team it with a black Leather Mini from Topshop, but as the weather was so bloody nice I paired it with my Oversized Denim Boyfriend Shorts by JWAnderson x Topshop. I Absolutely love these and they are so comfy!! Finished with my Wooden Cloggs and Vintage Sunnies and I was onto a winning summer look. The only thing I can't excuse is my lack of tan which i will be solving shortly as it is only 2 weeks till my holiday!!! Can you tell that I'm excited?

What do you think of my summer look? Let me know your comments and leave your links below!

The Road to Coachella by Topshop


How's everybody's week so far? I've got the mid week blues and so I decided to cheer myself up with some retail therapy. After going to my obvious first pit stop Topshop I came across the beautiful new video featuring Kate Bosworth. Have you seen it? Have a look below....





The way this has been shot means I am in absolute awe of Bosworth and the new product she is donning. I love the softness of the film and the relaxed hippie festival trend that is coming through on each of the looks. My absolute favourite is the final look of the video. A soft white dress is an absolute winner for a hot summers day. Beautiful.

What do you think of the video? How beautiful is Kate seriously!?
