Summer Haul

This season I've become quite the lover of statement and floral prints. This River Island Summer Dress is a lovely light material - perfect for summer, it's just what I wanted from a day dress that'll be great for wearing down to the beach and around the pool. These Black River Island Sandals are hands down the comfiest pair of footwear I've ever purchased, they go with any number of outfits, I'm paired them with jeans, dresses and tights. I can't wait to start catching a tan because these Topshop bikini's (Blue-Pink-Black) will look even nicer. Year after year I will buy a new pair of sunglasses and more often than not these are the shape I will go for and I personally feel this is the shape that suits me the best. This year I went for these New Look Floral Sunglasses as I've already mentioned I'm like a magpie to floral this season. All I need now is for my A Level exams to be over and my holiday to hurry up!

What are you loving this summer?

What's In My Bag

I brought this bag in the recent mid-season sales from Urban Outfitters at £38 (I believe?) this is my new favourite! I like to think I'm quite organised and so this bag is perfect has it has many compartments for various sized articles.

In the back pocket I carry my car and house keys, this is so I always know exactly where they are and don't have to do the embarrassing hunt through the bottom of my handbag looking for them while someone's waiting for my parking space. On my keys I've just got a photo keyring of all my closest friends, a small 'bear' that my mum brought me, a flipflop keyring my cousins brought back from Costa Rica, a keyring with my name on, a plastic River Island logo from work and a Tesco's Clubcard.

In the middle inside compartment of my handbag I've got my MAC compact mirror and also my Sighh Designs pocket mirror (you can never have too many mirrors!) 

Then in the back zip pocket I've got a sachet of Ibuprofen - an essential - and two packets of chewing gum, I think I may be addicted to this stuff, like is that even normal?!

In the front pouch I carry my iPhone and my lip product for that day.

In the biggest compartment I carry my ted baker purse (review here) my ted baker make up bag, a handbag size Victoria Secret fragrance in Pure Seduction, my lanyard for work because if it's not in there I'll lose it and won't be able to go through any doors at work and my glasses so that I can see when I'm driving.

I know the bag doesn't look very big, but I feel like Mary Poppins pulling stuff out of it. They've clearly utilised all aspects of the bag as there are several pockets and pouches meaning I could possibly carry the kitchen sink, should I ever want to.

What handbag do you use? What do you carry in it?

Holiday Wishlist

Summer is nearly here halleujah, here in England we seem to be experiencing it early, however this does mean that it's less than 80 days until myself and 10 friends fly out to Mallorca. This means only one thing, holiday shopping!!! 

This is probably my favourite time of year to shop and with pay day being this Friday, there are several pieces I've had my eye on, that I personally feel I can't go on holiday without.

Items featured included:

Missguided Monica Lemon Dogtooth Crop Top

Missguided Brianna Dogtooth Asymmetric Skirt in Lemon

ASOS Geo Lace Beach Cover Up

Topshop Floral Plunge Bikini Top

Topshop Floral Tieside Bikini Pant

River Island Black Rim Round Sunglasses

River Island Black Strappy Gladiator Sandals

River Island Black Peep Toe Platform Sandals

I understand some of these products will either be loved or hated (I'll tell you decide your own preference) however I want them all. My wardrobe is greatly lacking in yellow and feel this co ordinates will be a staple piece that I'll probably where more than I should.

When I'm on holiday, at the top of my checklist is coming home not looking like Casper the Friendly Ghost, and I feel this is when the yellow will look so nice on, as I won't appear completely washed out. I've also been looking for a beach cover up for a while now, and just want something simple to throw on as I don't feel comfortable just walking around in a bikini, and because this one is white this blue floral bikini will look great under it!

Are you excited for summer? What's on your holiday wishlist?
