Want Want Want: Summer Accessories

Tuesday 24 June 2014


1. As you may or may not know, my sister Lauren works at Olivia burton and this Dusty Pink White Dial is the watch catching my eye at the mo, perfect for summer me thinks. Plus, I only have one watch right now and its a rose gold stainless steel, which I adore. However I think everybody should have a leather strap watch to turn to.

2. Coral and mint are possibly my two favourite summer colours ever and right now I am all about trying different hair things and for £5.99 this may very well get added to my collection. Thanks Newlook!

3. Sunglasses and perfume are the two beauty/fashion things I can't stand spending money on. Smelly water and glasses i'll wear for maybe 2 months a year. Boo. However, when I was in Lanzarote I lost my high street sunglasses and it makes me sad because I actually liked them. So maybe I will pick up some decent ones, like these Emporio Armani ones and be done with it?

4. With the current obsession over floral crowns, I feel as though it's about time I picked myself up a little dainty one, and where better than Crown and Glory. I chose this one because you can adjust the size and I have an odd sized head :( ha! Of course it is stunning too, there are so many options on their website right now. Go and have a look.

5. My dream bag is 5 letters long, begins with a P and ends in an A but until I manage to find a spare £1400, high street will have to do. I am currently switching between a black Dune bag and a tan Miss Selfridge bag but I would really like to pick up a medium sized colour block bag, that will be usable for work and going out. I think this one from Oasis is a good find. The delicate change between beige and pale pink and then the pop of mint in the straps is the perfect type of colour blocking. Not too in your face, and wearable with a lot of outfits. I'm always glad to find a bag with a removable shoulder strap too. 

Eeek, so many pastels in this post, it makes my heart swoon. It's a good job I haven't been paid yet otherwise 60% of the post may have already been purchased!

A gorgeous island called Lanzarote

Tuesday 17 June 2014

Hey guys, sorry I didn't post anything on Friday, I was on holiday and I didn't get round to scheduling a second post before I left. I got back very early Sunday morning and then spent 2 hours waiting for our luggage in rubbish Gatwick. Yes I know the England game was on, that does not mean don't turn up to work [I am furious, can you tell?]. Anyhow, I though you might like to see a few pictures because I know deep down you are all as nosey as me. 











I had the best week ever, the weather was perfect for my pasty white skin, Playa Blanca is beautiful and the hotel was gorgeous. Only downside, if that's what you'd call it, is the fact that I put on about half a stone due to eating carbs and ice cream for every meal of every day. Damn you all inclusive.


On Wednesday we went on 1 of 15 submarines open to the public in the whole entire world, or at least, that's what they told us. I can't think of a better word to describe it other than fascinating. The pictures just don't do it justice. However, we then decided to go scuba diving on Friday which wasn't really the best idea to start with seen as; 1. I'm not a brilliant swimmer. 2. I don't really like the sea and 3. I don't like being underwater for too long. We did it anyway, and i'm so glad I experienced it, but I probably wont do it again. Lanzarote has A LOT of jellyfish, and when I say a lot. I mean a lot. One swam/floated, whatever they do, right by me, and I FREAKED out. After that I couldn't concentrate properly and it was game over. 
Bonus, we did get a picture underwater before I freaked so I will add that below when we manage to get hold of it.

I may have also purchased a couple of treats whilst I was out there, everything is cheaper than here. A Chanel Lipstick, LancĂ´me Mascara and the Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume have been added to my little collection. 

See you Friday

Spring jumps

Tuesday 10 June 2014




Jumpsuit: Miss Selfridge
Jumper: Mummy's wardrobe
Shoes: H&M
Watch: Fossil

GUESS WHAT I'M IN LANZAROTE RIGHT NOW. Are you jealous, are ya? Although I bet that now I have left the country you'll all be having lovely weather. Boo ;)

I bought this jumpsuit last October for my birthday. I was a little bit dubious as to how much i'd wear it, but I have to say, I wear it a lot more than I expected. Its just so easy to throw on with a jumper like above or a blazer (and it requires not a lot of brain power) However, I don't wear it to work because my god its a pain in the bum when i go to the loo!

I stole the jumper from Mum's wardrobe, shhhh. It's quite light and there was a bit of a breeze outside so it was the perfect add on. Paired with bright nails and some bright purple pumps, I was feeling pretty summery. 

I have taken the jumpsuit on holiday, so you never know, I could be wearing it right now...

May Catch up

Friday 6 June 2014

Possibly the healthiest trolley i've ever had. Sims chocolate and alcohol. BBQ's are for sure the best dinner. Throw back with my bestie. She looks so unimpressed with her cake, makes me chuckle. All her fat rolls over her face ahaha. Birthday cake in the office. 

I will never have a bikini body. I miss my beaut girls. Button's decided to sleep on Jakes towel. Stag selfie. Bapple pie. Asos flash sale stole my money. Homemade samosas, cauliflower rice and vegetable curry made by moi. Ice cold wine. Giant Calzones

I just like chocolate too much. My cute little bunny. BBQ take two. Fruit just looks so yummy. Italian everytime. Fatso thinks she's a lapdog. Button's pushed Skye off. Couples fancy dress Fred and Wilma style. Wilma loves a selfie.

I am off on holiday TOMORROW. I am so excited! Lanzarote for a week with Mr Jake. I will be posting lots of snaps to my Instagram so make sure you go over there and follow me so I can make you jealous with pictures of sun and cocktails.

Holiday haul 2...clothes

Tuesday 3 June 2014



Oh hey.
So i've been a little naughty, and although I have loads of clothes, I have decided that I must have new stuff for my holiday in 1 week. (5 days to be precise). Wanna see what I got? Do ya. DO YA. Ok here we go.
1 & 2 go together...obvs because they're a co-ord set. I got them in the Dorothy Perkins sale (and they still have some left) for £20. I LOVE that they are co-ords without being completely matchy matchy, and hopefully it'll be warm enough for me to be able to wear them lots this summer!
3 is a super cute pair of shorts from Newlook. The scalloped bottoms completely make these shorts and although they are hotpants they aren't knicker length. Even so, I won't wear them much outside of my holiday because my legs just aren't nice enough. Hello cellulite.
4 is also from Newlook and is my favourite piece from this haul. It is a gorgeous lightweight jacket and I just think it is adorable. Jeans and jacket, shorts and jacket, dress and jacket. It can literally be worn with so many outfits. I'm super excited to wear it allllllll the timeeeeeeeeee.
Finally, number 5 is a pair of jersey joggers from Asos. I was a little worried that they would be see through, but I did the bum test and I think it's ok! However, a small thing, they are definitely made for people who are 6ft; I have to roll the waist over a coupla times so the crotch isn't down by my knees.
I love every piece on here (although I haven't actually tried it all on yet...maybe I should go do that) and writing this post has made me excited for my holiday's, it's definitely time to start counting down the days!.
