Feelin' Tropical.

Hello everyone! So how lush has the weather been the last few days? I've been loving it! Tonight I will be having my 3rd BBQ in a row (exciting). Hope all you lovely people have had a lovely weekend in the sun. So today I decided a blogpost was definitely needed so I put on a summery outfit and a pair of shades and I was ready to blog!

Skirt: Topshop

Top: River Island 

Earrings: River Island 

Sunglasses: River Island

 

I LOVE this skirt. Its one of them things when you see it and just buy it without thinking about the practicalities (cost, whether I need it). I love the pattern and the bright colours and think it's so different because of the plain cream back. Also, the stitching on this skirt is amazing, so intricate! This will definitely feature a lot this summer.

I teamed this skirt with a simple but classy black off-the-shoulder top and black heels. I also added a coral lipstick and my new square hoops! I don't often wear earrings but thought these were really edgy and as I like to wear my hair in a messy ponytail, these make me look a little less 'ive just been dragged through a bush' haha.

Also, I brought these cat-eye sunglasses the other day and so far, am loving them! Something I didn't intend to buy, but thought were pretty! I would usually describe myself as a round frame gal but I think I am now converted!

What do you think about this look? And what sort of sunnies are your favourite? Let me know! Lots of love..

Boho in the Rain.

Hello lovelies! So today it absolutely poured with rain and hail and it was just really rubbish weather.. Typical as I was so ready to blog! But this evening the sun popped its pretty little head from behind the clouds and I grabbed the opportunity and took some snaps.

Mom Jeans- River Island (£40.00)

Kimono- Boohoo (old).

Shoes- Asos (£25.00)

Bralet- Asos (old)

Hat- Camden Market.

As you can probably see, the pictures haven't come out that great due to lighting. You would not believe how much of a struggle it was to get these done.. lets just say walking your dog whilst getting your boyfriend to take photos of you doesn't really work (I had to disregard many photos because ted, my dog, decided he wanted a photo shoot).

Anyway, today I gave my mom jeans an outing! These jeans have been on my wishlist for so long but I never could find a pair that fitted me well. These River Island one fitted the bill however and I was so pleased! I teamed these with my kimono from Boohoo. I actually purchased this last year to wear at V festival as I thought it completed a festival look. However they've really become popular this year which I'm really glad about.

I am also wearing my new favourite Asos chunky sandals! I love the chunky straps and the fact they are patent! So comfy as well.

I definitely think I will be purchasing some more kimonos as they really finish an outfit, effortlessly! How would you style your kimono? Send me some links to show me :)

Dreaming of Paris.

Hello Everyone!
So today I went for a Paris-inspired outfit, featuring a few of my new buys! Paris is a place I have never been but know I would love! Is seems such a beautiful place and its only a quick hop over the sea! And just think of the shops.. :O!

 

 

 

 

Skort- Topshop (£40.00)

Top- Similar here

Bag- Zara (sold out) but sold on ebay here

Shoes- Matalan (15.00)

 

As you may have noticed, I decided to try a different location for shooting these photos. I like the contrast it gives. But I'm not entirely sure it works. Hmmm.

Anyway, on to the items I'm wearing! Here I am wearing my new favourite skort! This Topshop number is so versatile and is my favourite colour for spring/summer. It is a lovely fit as well and really good quality. Its also not too see-through which is a bonus! I just think it's a necessity as it could be a statement piece for a night out but easily could be dressed down also. I'd definitely advise anyone to buy a skort like this ;)

The top I picked up in Zara a couple of weeks a go as I thought it was a nice casual top and I'm loving stripes at the moment.

The accessories are some of my favourites at the moment too! I got THE bag! :) This Zara bag has been popping up everywhere over the last month or so and has been really hard to get hold of. But when I was in Westfield a couple of weeks ago I saw it and snapped it right up! It's so summery and edgy at the same time. The shoes were a Bargain! I wanted some white sandals for a while but didn't want to pay loads as I'm very clumsy and know they wont stay white for long haha. But these were perfect and such a good price.

Hope you guys like my post, please give me some feedback and let me know what you think of this outfit! :)

Have a lovely bank holiday weekend!
