Summer Clothing Haul...

I have been doing quite a lot of shopping recently. I have booked a holiday to Ibiza, and even though it's not till September I am already planning my holiday wardrobe! 

I think that all of these pieces that I purchased will work well for summer, both in England and in my summer holiday wardrobe. I will be including these items in outfit of the day posts and styling posts so please follow my blog!

I've been loving all of the summer accessories in the shops lately. So today I headed into town and did a rather big clothing shop to update my wardrobe and get it ready for summer. Heres a sneak peak of a few bargain pieces that I picked up from Primark. These accessories are a cheap way of updating your look for summer. I will be posting lots of outfits of the day posts showing some of the other items I picked up.

Kate Spade Bag...

I thought I would do a quick post showing one of my favourite items this month. I purchased this Kate Spade bag when I visited New York in January. However I have not had the chance to wear it until recently. This month I have been using this bag not stop and I always receive compliments when I use it. I'm going to start doing more posts on my favourite items of the moment.

The Midi Skirt

Every summer I face the same problem, I'm not a fan of wearing shorts unless i'm holiday because my legs are one of those things that I am not totally confident about showing off. However I recently ordered a midi skirt from Missguided and I have been obsessed with it! I have since ordered two more and I am sure I will purchase more this summer. Its such a flattering item that paired with a crop top gives you a summer outfit without having to show off your legs if your not confident like me. I can't wait to wear these when the weather gets hotter. I will be featuring these in some OOTD's soon. Whats your summer staple ?

Summer Wedges

Wedges in the summer are definitely my staple shoes. I tend to pair them with a pair of skinny denim jeans and blazer for that effortlessly stylish look. I have added a couple of new pairs to my collection so thought I would share them with you. 

Office (Sale)
£36.00

Primark

Let me know what you think, and if you have picked up any summer shoe bargains ?

Daily Thoughts...New Winter Coat...

Winter is my favourite time of year. I love it as it gets colder and you can wrap up warm in scarves and jumpers. I recently picked up a new coat from River Island because I wanted to update my wardrobe quickly. I loved wearing bright colours during summer so wanted a bright coat that would instantly brighten up my outfits as I tend to wear a lot of black. 

This coat is from River Island but I ordered it from Asos. It was £65.00 which I think is great value as it's a thick coat with a lovely faux fur trim. 

I hope you liked this daily post. I am trying my best to blog everyday so please comment and subscribe :)

Summer Season - Bikinis

It is kinda weird that as I am writing this post about summer the weather outside is so miserable and horrible. Last week I booked a holiday to Ibiza and am super excited however the one thing I hate about going holiday is the fact I have to go bikini shopping. I can never seem to find a bikini that suits my small shape and I end up looking really young when I am actually 20! However this year I have found that there have been some lovely bikinis on the high street and in the space of 3 days I have bought three bikinis. I thought this post would be helpful to those who also feel a bit self conscious in a bikini and thought I would show you the bikinis I purchased. These are great for people with smaller chests and who may feel a bit self conscious. 

River Island
Top - £20.00
Bottoms - £10.00

This bikini from River Island is so nice. The colour is great for summer and the flower detailing is so pretty. This is great for small chests as it is moulded which instantly gives a flattering shape. You can purchase this bikini here.

Ann Summers
Top - £22.00
Bottoms - £12.00

This bikini is my favourite that I purchased. It is from Ann Summers so it you can buy your exact size which is great. You can purchase this bikini here.

Ann Summers
Top - £13.00
Bottoms - £6.00

This was my bargain bikini which was in the Ann Summers sale. At only £19 for this bikini I didn't feel as bad about spending more on the other two. From the picture is didn't look like the top and bottoms woud match but when it arrived it looked lovely. You can buy this bikini here.

I hope you found this post helpful. 

Let me know what you thought. And please don't forget to follow my blog and like my face book page here. It would make my day!

Dressing Room Table...

My bedroom when I am home from university is small so it is more of a dressing room for me with a bed to sleep in. I thought I would do a post on showing how I organise my beauty bits.

My dressing table is my favourite part of my room. I keep all of my most used items on the top which I am always changing. I recently did a post of my favourite beauty items which you can see here.

I got this jewellery holder from a little shop where I live. I think it looks really pretty and I keep all of my most worn jewellery items on display here. I also keep the three beauty products I use daily.

 

 I use this case that my Chanel perfumes came in to store my makeup brushes because I thought it was the perfect size and I love that it is clear.

 I hang all of necklaces on the back of my door, I think that they add a bit of decoration to my room.

Hope you liked this random kind of post. Please comment below I would love to know what you think.

Jeffrey Campbell Skull Lita...

-->

I was so lucky this Christmas and received some wonderful presents. I thought I would show you one of my favourite presents, which I am so in love with!

I have wanted these Jeffrey Campbell skull litas for ages but couldn’t bring myself to spend that much on a pair of shoes. These are also the first pair of Jeffrey Campbells I have and had never even tried a pair on before. But as soon as I saw them online I instantly wanted them.

The boots are so comfy and look amazing! They are rather heavy due to all the skull studs on them but they are so well made and even come with spare studs. I haven’t had a chance to wear them out yet but I will be sure to post an outfit of the day when I do.

What do you think of Jeffrey Campbell shoes? Do you have a favourite pair?

Fashion Drawings...

On my course at university we do a lot of drawing, my drawings aren't amazing and I am still practicing the basics and getting my proportions right. I love looking at fashion illustrations and seeing how the style of each illustration varies. I am still finding my own style and for now my drawings will remain in my sketchbook, but I thought it might interesting to do a few blog posts about some of my favourite fashion illustrators.

For now here a couple of doodles from my scrap book.

Do any of you have a favourite illustrators or create your own fashion illustrations ?

TREND ALERT! - The Cutout Boot

I was browsing through Topshops website today when I came across these amazing boots!

I think they are great for winter, I would style them with a simple dress and tights because I think the boots would make the outfit a bit more edgy. 

These will definitely be on my wishlist

What do you think, how would you style them ?

HOUSE OF HOLLAND

Henry Holland has always been one of my favourite designers. I love how bold his designs are, and he creates so many unique outfits. Although I don't own any of his clothes, I love seeing his new collections.

These are my favourite pieces from the collection, I think the way they have been styled is great. It really suits autumn/winter yet still has the signature bold colours that House Of Holland is known for. 

These iPhone cases are really cool, I think they are great for someone who wants to have a piece of the House Of Holland style but is on a budget.

Henry Holland also has a collection available in Debenhams which is called H! By Henry Holland. This is more accessible for people wanting the style but at a high street price. I think these satchels are amazing. They would brighten up any outfit and satchels are a big trend at the moment. 

Does anyone else love Henry Hollands collections ?

Lita style boots...

I recently posted here about a cream pair of boots I purchased from Linzi shoes in the style of the Jeffrey Campbell litas. Ever since I got them I have wanted a black pair and I finally ordered a pair from Tribecca shoes.

I did debate about whether to keep them when they arrived as I wasn't keen on the style of heel, but I think they are such a great staple piece to have because they go with basically everything in my wardorbe. They are not as comfortable as my Linzi pair so i wouldn't wear them all the time, but hopefully at some point I will be able to purchase a real pair of Jeffrey Cambells which I can imagine will be alot more comfortable to wear every day. They were only £25.00 and because it was my first order I got 15% off so they are very affordable, however if you want a better quality boots then it might be worth spending a bit more money.

Let me know what you think :)
