Personal Style #9

Hopefully the first post of many, this year I am taking my blog 'by the horns' and getting back into blogging for good. I love my blog and it breaks my heart when I cant make time for writing, so i've been making schedules to make sure I have some posts for you all! This first post is just a personal style post as i'm spending most of my time writing future posts. I was pretty proud of my outfit this day and have been using the MyStyling app to help make the most of my wardrobe and to help style my outfits day to day (review will come soon!). Hope you enjoy!

Personal Style #8

Personal Style #6

Last week I popped down to London with my friend from university, Alice. I hadn't been to London in a while so I wanted to make the most of it...cue unwarranted spending spree; However that Haul is coming at a later date. For now I wanted to show you the outfit I wore:
For the majority of the year I've been stocking up on Monochrome Basics for my wardrobe however I decided to go back to my comfort zone of bright colours. This outfit features really contrasting colours which I thought was perfect for the last week's of summer!

Top: Primark
Necklace: Primark
Skirt: Primark
Bag: Accessorize
Ankle Boots: Joe Browns

Primark has also mentioned me on their Twitter Page which is rather exciting! (take a look here)
I've also popped a close-up picture above of my hairstyle, if you would like to see a tutorial on how I achieved this hairstyle let me down below in the comments!

Personal Style #5

All though I have never been to a festival (shock horror) I really enjoy the fashion and style associated with festival season; the bohemian/grunge look. As we are in the middle of festival season I thought I would do an outfit appropriate post! Recently I picked out this dress from House of Fraser by a brand called Linea, I loved the boho style to this dress and how floaty and light it is! (perfect for festivals). It comes with a light underlay so it doesn't get too hot in the summer heat too.

June Monthly Favourites

As were heading towards the heat of summer (not sure if the UK weather has caught onto that yet) I thought id pop together some products Ive been loving this month!

Personal Style #4

Recently the weather in the UK has been rather unpredictable ranging from 24 degrees and humid to downpours of rain and cold, However Ben and I managed to catch one of the more 'decent' days and headed to the park for a bit of sun. 

Skirt - Primark

Sunglasses - Topshop

Shoes - Toms

This is also the first time Ben has taken photos for me for the blog; they came out lovely and i'm so proud! Maybe this will mean more outfit posts in the future? Fingers Crossed!

. Over The Knee Tights .  Red Wellington Boots .  Chunky Zip Backpack .

Huge Spring Primark Haul 2015

It's been a while since I "attempted" a Primark Haul on my Youtube channel, nearly 2 years ago in fact! Over these last two years my Primark love has possibly tripled but my confidence to present myself to a camera in my bedroom has not, however I felt a blog post would not do a haul justice.  I have thought of filming/photographing a lookbook with these pieces plus a few more, please do tell me in the comments or on my social media if you would like to see a lookbook .
Anyway here is the video and I hope you enjoy!

TOPSHOP: The Monochrome Schoolgirl

I fell in love with this cute pini dress from Topshop last week and I just had to make an ensemble out of it.
Hope you enjoy!

MADNESS Chelsea Boots

My 10 Summer Staples

1.Topshop floral shoes
A classy alternative to flip flops, two strap heeled sandals are a big trend this S/S14 along with jelly shoes (I own a pair and they are still causing blisters). I love these beauties from Topshop and they are only £32, bargain!

2.River Island mini tote bag
When travelling I hate carrying big heavy bags, so a mini tote or satchel bag is perfect for keeping little essentials safe. Also these adorable pastel colours are too hard to ignore! £30 at River Island.

3.Boohoo v neck cami

Camisole's are so simple but can start off any outfit, making them a must for summer! Stick to Monochrome colours as these can be paired with absolutely anything. Team it with any of these staples for an effortless but chic look. You get this particular cami from Boohoo for £8.

4.Topshop skinny ripped jeans

If you don't want to wear shorts but want to rebel and show some skin, ripped skinnies are for you. They add attitude to an otherwise simple outfit but still manage to look effortlessly chic and casual. You can find them at Topshop for £40.

5.Topshop white scallop jacket
I was really drawn to this beautiful scalloped jacket from Topshop. To keep it simple and as a staple I stuck with a classic white (my own rebel from black jackets), this allows the jacket to be paired with many different colours and textures. Tip - If you are pale (or are not blessed with luscious tan skin) pair this jacket with jewellery or the white will swallow you whole! £55 for insta-class.

6.Zara asymmetrical hem sweater

For days when it's a bit too chilly to wear a cami but too hot to wear a jacket, we have the thin sweater. Comfy and casual approved it looks perfect paired with ripped jeans, disco pants, shorts or even a skirt. £15.99 from Zara.

7.Topshop denim jacket

A classic here! The denim jacket has been a summer staple for years and for a good reason. Looks best paired with a dress or just anything that doesn't already include denim (i've never been able to understand the double denim trend).A classic denim jacket at £40, yum!

8.Reiss black velvet skirt

Simple and Classic; the black skirt add's class to any outfit. It also slims down those bum's and tum's we don't always want people to see. Paired best with a white jumper, cami or coloured top you can get this lush skirt from Reiss at £125.

9.Charlotte Russe skater dress

The white dress can be paired with pretty much anything, it's innocent, it's light, it's dainty and most of all adorable! One of my favourite trends of the moment because you can do so much with it. This beautiful skater dress is $34.99 (or £20.60 sterling)

10.Zara floral print skirt
I love but also loathe this trend. Midi skirts are back! The one I picked out is a favourite from Zara for £29.99 in the sale (it also has a matching peplum top), unfortunately due to my hobbit height I cannot wear these wonders *sobs* but theres no denying, Midi skirts are in and trending.
