Want Want Want: Summer Accessories

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!

Loving this month #1

Being naturally pale, I don't cope amazingly with boiling heat so I am really enjoying this 'end of the summer' warmth. Don't get me wrong, I do like hot weather...when I am on holiday and can enjoy it from the comfort of a pool that is. I love being able to go out without a jacket but without feeling sweaty and horrible. It's great for socialising too, it's the perfect weather for BBQs and picnics with family and friends, and also greatly broadens what you can do with your time.

I have recently started a new job in London so I spend most of my day Monday-Friday in an office, but I no longer have to work any weekends, having worked in retail for the last 3 years, this is a novelty for me. I can finally make plans in advance without having to book the dates off as holiday.

I've spent the last two weekends with family and Jake, playing mini golf, having BBQs and generally relaxing. Today I went out for my Nan's birthday, indulged in cream tea and wandered around some gardens with various animals in.

Lots of exciting things coming up over the next few weeks too, after I finish work on Friday I am heading down to Eastbourne with Jake for a night of drinks, games and camping with some friends before driving back on Saturday to get ready to fly to France for a week with the family. Then, at the end of the month, me, my sister and my mum are heading to a secret location in London for an evening of entertainment with 'The Future Cinema' re-living dirty dancing.

What have you guys got planned for the rest of summer? Are you enjoying the sun or pining for winter?

Comic strip

Okay, so I actually wore this Friday, not today, but shhh don't tell anyone!

I picked this skirt up a month or so ago from New Look but this is the first time I've been brave enough to wear it. It's a lot 'quirkier' than I'd normally go for, but once I had picked it up I couldn't put it down, and somehow it made its way to the till with me.

I am really liking printed skirts this summer. I have super pale legs, so unless I have time to do a bit of fake tanning, I'm not a fan of wearing short shorts or skirts so longer skirts are great for me.

What do you guys think? Is this skirt hideous or amazing?

Summer sale wishlist

I always get wary of creating a wishlist because I always end up buying it all. Massive uh-oh haha. I managed to restrain myself this time though and only ended up buying 2 of the items on this list.

1. I am loving this bikini from Asos, I like that there are more bikinis around with bottoms that aren't pieces of string, some of us need a little extra coverage.

2. These shorts from Forever 21 are super cute, but I won't be buying any shorts like that until I reach my goal weight. 5 pounds down, 8 or so pounds to go...

3. I must admit, I bought these sandals as soon as I saw that size 5 were still available. £15 for real leather, hell yes Topshop. I adore them, lots.

4. Can you ever have too many dresses? I don't think so. This little dress from Forever 21 is adorable, but I just know it would be too short for my liking. Boo.

5. I picked this up in the Topshop sale for my holiday in August. (I plan on being a little skinnier by then). It won't get a lot of wear in England but I just really liked the neon.

Chat soon everyone.

Studs and neons

It is literally so hot today, 25° and still going up, being fair skinned and a natural red head... I feel like I'm melting! However, I thought I'd use the nice weather to try my new top out. I picked it up for a fiver in the oh my love sale and I adore the colour of it. It will definitely get lots of wear whilst the suns around.

Skirt: Primark

Top: Oh my love

Ring: Ever ours

 

I'm back full swing into my nail art obsession, today I'm sporting an ombré/dip-dye effect using my neon models own nail varnishes.

Annoyingly, this picture of my hair isn't great, I'd already had it up for a few hours before taking these pictures so there are lots of fly-aways but I adore this updo. I think it's so summery and chic and it keeps the hair off my neck which is a bonus in this weather.
