My favourite summer dress.

Hello lovelies! Today's post features my favourite dress (can you tell I'm not ready to let go of summer yet? haha). There's a story behind this dress; when I was on my way home from Menorca a couple of weeks ago I was on the plane and I saw a girl wearing this dress and the whole flight home I was thinking.. I need that dress (magpie over here). So when we landed I had to ask her where it was from! When she said Boohoo I was very excited because I knew for such a pretty dress, it wasn't going to break the bank!

Dress: Boohoo

Sandals: Primark

Necklace: Primark

Bag: Mulberry

 

So anyway, I got the dress in the end! And I love it! I just think its so damn cute and would be a great dress to wear to a BBQ or on holiday. England is starting to get a bit chilly so I don't think I'll be wearing this dress much longer.. but it will definitely make a come back next year! Now.. who's ready for roll necks?

 

Let me know what you think of this dress and what your favourite dress is!

Lots of love,

P.S. I think I had my camera on the wrong setting for these photos but I thought I'd use them anyway, sorry about the questionable quality!

Travel // A relaxing holiday in Menorca.

So today's post is something a little different. I recently visited the beautiful island of Menorca and being a place I have visited many times before, I thought I would write a post about not only my recent stay but also some of my favourite aspects of the island.

So firstly lets talk FOOD! I am a serious lover of Spanish food! Paella, Spanish omelettes and deep fried squid..I love it all! Menorca has the most gorgeous cuisine and an array of quaint cafes and restaurants, all offering home made dishes. I mean.. look at the Tapas!!

I went to Menorca with my Mum, Dad, Brother and Sister and it was so lovely to spend some quality time with my family! We stayed in Calla en Porter which is a beautiful town with stunning views and all the necessities you will need! My family own a villa here so we have visited quite a few times and I still love it! It is such a welcoming and homely town! The beach was about a 15 minute walk from our villa and it was amazing. Soft sand and crystal clear sea! We took a pedalo out one day and snorkeled around the rocks. 

When it comes to what I wore on holiday, if I'm honest I didn't take many outfit photos due to it being so hot! But my sister and I did wear some really pretty metallic temporary tattoos to dinner most nights, which were sold in the cutest boutique in the town! 

I hope you've enjoyed taking a little look at my holiday snaps and maybe I have inspired you to visit Menorca! It really is a stunning island which offers the traditional buildings and villas, along side beautiful new swimming pools and shops and restaurants which make the stay extra special!

Lots of Love,

I Love Ebay!

 

All shorts: EBAY :)

Crop: Topshop

Shoes: Newlook

Hello Lovelies! So today's post is dedicated to one of my new loves.. Ebay! Now I know Ebay has been around for ages now, but I haven't really used it up until a few months ago. I love unique clothing and items that are a bit out of the ordinary so ebay is right up my street for this purpose! I was browsing a few weeks ago and after seeing some super edgy denim shorts,  I decided I needed some levi shorts in my life. As you can see, I ended up buying 2 pairs and also these beautiful Topshop Silk shorts too haha. But £30 for 3 cool pairs of shorts.. who could say no?

So I thought I'd share my tips when it comes to buying on Ebay:

1.  When it comes to shorts especially and I'd say most clothing really, ALWAYS go for a bigger size rather than a smaller (This applies majorly to Levis which come up around 2 sizes small).
2. Buy from a UK seller if you want to receive your item within the next 3 months haha.
3. Don't be scared to ask sellers questions- there nothing worse than hoping something will fit and receiving it and realising that sadly it doesn't.
4. If the item seems too good to be true.. it probably is (I have brought some really crap stuff haha).
5. Always look at a seller's other items.. If a seller has one nice item, the odds are they have more lovely items for sale too.
6. Most importantly.. You can find some real steals and really cool items on Ebay.. So enjoy it and allow some time to browse.

So I hope this post has been helpful and inspired you! Let me know what Ebay bargains you've found! And let me know if you'd enjoy a post about selling on Ebay too!

Lots of Love,

Chunky sandals.

Hello lovelies! After a ridiculous amount of time, I'm back! I've had a really busy last couple of months with getting my dissertation finished, along with other stresses. So I thought I'd take some time off from blogging, until I could give it my all again! If I'm honest, with everything going on, I lost my motivation and love for blogging; its so easy to think you are getting nowhere, I have to keep reminding myself not to compare myself to other bloggers. But now I think I've got my mojo back haha.

Shoes: Newlook

Shorts: Topshop

Top: Missguided

Kimono: Boohoo (old)

Necklace: Topshop Sale

So anyway, on to the outfit. This outfit features a few of my new favs! The shoes especially, I love! From other people's comments, it seems these shoes are a bit like marmite.. some love them, but quite a lot hate them haha. I just think they are super edgy and grungy and I like the juxtaposition of wearing chunky sandals with a girly outfit! I've teamed them here with some Topshop lace shorts and a kimono! I think this would be a great festival outfit!

I'm going on holiday in a week and 2 days so I'm planning on doing a lookbook or multiple holiday blog posts as I may have gone a little crazy buying summer clothes haha! (I've tried to justify my spending by telling myself I need it for holiday) So keep a look out :)

Let me know what you think of chunky sandals like these! Are you a lover or a hater? I'll be back soon for another post! Lots of love,

Spring Stripes

 

 

Shirt: Newlook

Sleeveless Jacket: Newlook

Jeans: Topshop

Shoes: River Island (old)

 

Hello Guys! How lovely has the weather been recently? Spring is definitely on its way! Today's post is featuring some of my favourite spring pieces. Stripes are always a winner in my book, I feel like you can wear stripes when its freezing cold with an oversized, cosy coat or in the scorching hot with a pair of edgy denim shorts! At the moment this shirt is making an appearance a lot and is definitely one of my spring staples. Here I've styled it with another one of my new favs, this chic cream sleeveless jacket! I think I'll be reaching for this a lot this spring/summer!

 

I'm all about buying pieces that will go with loads of other things at the moment! I'm thinking about doing a post on my top 10 wardrobe must-haves...let me know what you think!

 

Lots of Love,
