Summer Holiday Clothes Haul

So I've been doing lots of clothes shopping for my holiday during the summer :) here's what I've been buying!

 

H&M

 

I picked up a lovely royal blue slouch vest from H&M for £3.99, which is a lovely holiday essential as it's cool, casual and can be teamed with so many different outfits. They sell these in various colours so I am debating whether to go back and buy more. £3.99 is such a bargain! I also purchased a stunning pair of mono animal print shorts which I just couldn't leave behind (the vest goes really well with these too). I also bought a plain teal coloured loose dress, which has a pocket on the front and ties around the waist.

 

Topshop

 

I fell in love with these pastel blue polka dot shorts - they are so, so cute and Topshop also stock shirts and trousers with this design on them too. I also purchased two tops which I believe go really well with them; one is a white vest top with a textured white floral and tribal design with a sheer under vest. The other top is white with a subtle floral design and a high neck collar and I am really going through a collar phase at the moment so couldn't leave this behind! They stocked the collar top in a few colours but I purchased white because it's easier to put with outfits.

 

Next

 

Oh look - I've managed to combine my collar obsession with my polka dot obsession with this cute, bright blue, vest-style shirt. I think that this shirt will look great with a pair of denim shorts - maybe even undoing the top few buttons and wearing a white vest top underneath? I also bought this navy, polka dot skirt which is sooo pretty. The skirt comes with a simple, thin brown belt which looks great.

 

Forever 21

 

So much holiday shopping yet I've only bought one bikini - it's crazy right? Forever 21 have a fabulous collection of bikinis like this in pretty much every colour and I managed to purchase both parts for under £10, which is incredible. I love yellow and wanted something really bright and different for those beach days and to be honest, I think i may go back to purchase this bikini in a few other colours too.



Spring Lookbook

Hey everyone! I've been hoping to do a Spring lookbook for quite a while but the weather here in sunny Britain isn't very 'Spring' at the moment: we're suffering with freezing temperatures and snow, which is crazy considering it's the end of March! But anyway, I decided to lighten the mood despite this with some cute Spring outfit ideas for all occassions. Now, where's the sun? I'm also planning lots more Spring posts - including Spring themed NOTD, which will be coming up shortly.

Outfit Of The Day: Wedding

It can always be tricky to find a suitable outfit to wear for a wedding so here is just one of my outfit ideas, which I am planning on wearing to a wedding soon. Very cheap too. This is the first time I've ever posted a 'fashion' post as opposed to beauty. Hope you like this :)

 

 

This is my 'outfit of the day' for an upcoming wedding.

 

 

This is the dress close-up. It is a floral, fitted, chiffon-style dress with a v-neck and frilly sleeves (to describe it best I can). I honestly just fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and I think everyone else did too because it's sold out of most sizes at all of the Lipsy suppliers (including Lipsy website, Next, Debenhams, Asos).  I'm very fussy when it comes to dresses so as soon as I see one I like everything about, I just have to buy it. It's so pretty!

 

 

Because the dress is very bright and colourful, I decided it would be best to tone it down with a simple bag. I purchased this navy, snake-print, clutch-style bag from New Look. It has a gold chain attached to it so you have to option to either wear it hanging from your shoulder or you can tuck the chain inside and wear it as a clutch.

 

 

The navy heels match my bag. I am really tall (5'10 to be precise) so only wanted small heels because I look silly in anything bigger than like 2" which is such a shame! Luckily, I loved these as soon as I saw them and am really thankful that they match my bag too. If you're having a bright, colourful dress like I am, it's always best to keep your shoes, bag and accessories simple.

 

 

The gold bracelet goes great with the bag too, matching the gold chain.
