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.

Birthday Wish List *Skincare*

In less than a month i'll be the ripe old age of 19! (can't believe I'm turning 20 next year) So over the last month I've been adding lots to my birthday wish list, so much so that i've had to separate it up a little so its not too overwhelming. This series will be separated into sections including; Skincare, Makeup, Clothes, Accessories, Shoes, Miscellaneous and My Top 5. First off is SkinCare!

1. Soap and Glory: Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub

I've been after this beauty for a while now since seeing it on Tanya Burr's channel. I also heard so many rave reviews about how it "transforms your skin" so I want to see how it fairs on my spot-prone face.

2. Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish (with muslim cloth)

I bought a 15ml tube of this product for my birthday last year and initially I really wasn't impressed. However using it every so often (rather than every day) has helped me appreciate it much more. I still have my tube but it's near to running out so....restock please?

3. LUSH Cosmetic Warrior Face Mask

I hated LUSH, seriously hated it. I would purposely avoid LUSH stores in the past, but after reading rave reviews of its skin masks I decided to venture in. I got bucket of samples and one of them was Cosmetic Warrior. With garlic (you can't smell it really) and tea tree it's a saviour for blemished skin like mine. I can't wait to have to have a tub of my own! and if no-one buy's it for me I will!

4. LUSH Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb

I don't currently have access to a bath (apart from at my boyfriends house) but I've been loving the smell oozing from this bath product. With a combination of Bergamot Oil, Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter it's like my perfect smell combined.

5. The Body Shop Ionic Clay Seaweed Mask

Again I've only heard positive reviews on this product! Seaweed is meant to be excellent for my skin and the BB Seaweed in LUSH didn't quite live up to my expectations, so I thought i'd give the famous Body Shop a try.

So that's Skincare! It does include some of my new favourites (Cosmetic Warrior) and some I've been waiting years to try, but I think i've made it fairly varied.

Hope you enjoyed this post! Please tell me if you've tried any of these products and if they worked for you down in the comments! :)
