Summer Stripes

So, I thought I'd get back out in the open to take some photos and really happy with how these turned out... Definitely needing a new camera ASAP though.

I love this Topshop denim dungaree dress, I love the 90s fashion and as I'm a 90s kid it reminds me of being a little girl... I have paired it with this Topshop striped crop top which is definitely a summer staple. Crop tops can be worn with just about anything and they are one of my favourite summer buys.

My sandals were a Topshop bargain, only £18 last summer which I literally wear with everything but I'm lusting after another pair of sandals in the form of Topshop black flatforms. I found a website nexttonowt.com which sells famous name shoes at cut prices (perfect for a poor student!) and I have found the Topshop flatforms I've been lusting after but not able to afford at normal price, here. Which I will definitely be buying on payday!! They also sell sooo many other beautiful shoes, I so wish I could afford them all.

I caved and bought a skort the other day so will be putting an outfit together and blogging that as soon as... Had to jump on the bandwagon really ;)

Polka Dots

Just a quick post today, not the best as I couldn't get anyone to take my photo and the backgarden was occupied and I'm not confident yet to pose in front of other people!

Did any of you have thunder and lightning last night/this morning?! I was woken about 3am by crashing and flashing of the thunder and lightning. I looked out the window and it scared me so much I jumped straight back into bed under the duvet!!

I was expecting the weather to be cooler today, hence the boots and the blouse over the top of the crop but turns out it was boiling and I felt very sweaty wearing this whilst taking the dog for a walk!! I love this blouse from Urban Outfitters but never seen to get the chance to wear it. I have obsession with polka dot things so this is probably why I love it!

Sock and Sandals

 

   Dress - H&M 

Headband - Dorothy Perkins

Sandals - Topshop

Bag - Zara

So, I finally roped my boyfriend into taking some pics of me. We decided to go down to Caldicot moors, along the Welsh Coastal Path / Llwybr Arfordir Cymru as the back drop of the sea and the Severn Bridge is pretty nice in my opinion. Especially in the sun!

If you read my last post, you'd have seen that I've rekindled a love with H&M and this dress was one I'd been after for a while, after seeing it on another blog in white. The white was sold out when I looked so I went for this colour, which I think is a good alternative. Love the dress and at £12 you can't go wrong. Although, it was swealtering hot when I took these photos and ended up having the dress stuck to me because of the fabric (gross I know). Also, absolutely love my Topshop sandals! They're patent with a rubber sole and chunky heel. They're one of my favourite shoe sale buys and after lusting after them and getting them for £22.50 I was pretty happy. I love the socks and sandal look (not quite on old men with shorts mind) so I paired them with my frilly Topshop ankle socks for a cute, girly look.

And as you can see, I jumped on the floral headband bandwagon. I wouldn't usually buy anything like this, but I've seen them around so much, I fancied one. So when I saw this one in the Dorothy Perkins sale at £6.25 I thought I might as well have it! I'm going to my friend's 21st festival themed party on the weekend and I'm thinking this will be perfect for the occasion.

I've not blogged in a while as I've been finding it hard to take decent photos on my tripod and my camera isn't up to scratch. So a new camera is on the wish list! Also, I'm a bit worried about promoting my blog on social networking sites as I don't think the people I know will be very, well, accepting. (small town syndrome). Did any of you feel lkike this when you started a blog? and did you open new accounts on Instagram/Twitter especially for your blog? This is what I'm considering to get out there!

Sun's Out!

Body - Topshop

Skirt - ASOS

Sunglasses - ASOS

Boots - Fearne Cotton for Very.co.uk

Just a quick post, as I'm off to yoga at my friends... I ran 3 miles today and had my hair done so I've quite been busy...

Just wanted to show my bargain buys, being my Topshop body (£9!) which I absolutely love, it's so comfortable. The gingham pattern is lush and being a body you can pair it with most things and I'll use it as a swimming costume on my holiday (9 weeks!) as it's so versatile! I paired it with my leather look skater skirt and my ye olde faithful Fearne Cotton spiked heeled boots.

I also love my new ASOS sunglasses. I've been looking for a round pair for a while but I've been skimping quite a bit but when I found these in the sale I thought I had to have them!

Hope you like my look. The photos are rubbish, I couldn't get a good photo as the sun was behind me but hopefully you get some idea.

Festival Fringe

 Top - ASOS

Shorts - Topshop

Boots - Urban Outfitters

Necklace - Love From Misbehave

Sunglasses - Ebay

So, here goes. My very first blog post! I thought as it's festival season I would go for a festival look. I'm not actually going to a festival this year, which is gutting but this is something I would definitely wear... 

I love the fringe trend at the moment and thought my ASOS leather look, fringed crop top would work well with my Topshop high waisted denim shorts - perfect for the summer and my favourite leopard print flatforms are great for stomping around in!

Taking these photos was awkward. Trying to explain to my grandparents why I was taking a tripod outside and hiding from my neighbour to avoid questions. Hope you like my look! And if you have any tips or any help I would appreciate as I am completely new to this!
