Holiday Vibes

Duster Coat - New Look
Shorts - Spain
Jellies/Top/Necklace - Primark
Watch - Southern Collective
Charm Bracelet - Thomas Sabo

 Hope you're all having a relaxing Sunday! Today I've been busy putting together outfits for upcoming posts and decided that because the weather is good today I would kick things off with a bright OOTD. 

I love how cute these little pom pom shorts are and each time I wear them it reminds me of being in Spain. I got them from one of the markets I went to whilst in Spain and paid 5 euros for them, which makes them a total bargain! 

I paired them with my amazing lime duster coat from New Look, which is a perfect cover up on an evening and brightens up any outfit, and my Primark jellies to add to the summery theme of the outfit. 

Have a good week.

Until next time

Feeling Blue

Evening everyone! 

I've been doing quite well picking up some good bargains in the sales recently so I thought I would share a few of them with you. This isn't everything however I decided not to include some items as they will be featuring in upcoming outfit posts. It wasn't until I started taking these photos that I noticed a slight blue theme in my new purchases. 

Hope you've all had a good week! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 

Until next time

P.S. Sorry for the rubbish photo quality!

Girl Effect

On 20th July 2014 my sister and I were lucky enough to be able to attend an intimate Jessie J concert for Girl Effect.

Before I carry on with the post here is a bit about what Girl Effect is. 'The girl effect is a movement. It's about leveraging the unique potential of adolescent girls to end poverty for themselves, their families, their communities, their countries and the world. It's about making girls visible and changing their social and economic dynamics by providing them with specific, powerful and relevant resources.'

Before this concert I had never heard of Girl Effect before and didn't realise the extent of what was happening to many girls who are living in poverty.  

Jessie J, Sasha Keable and George the Poet all performed at the concert in London and they really did put on a show. I've seen Jessie J many times before as my sister is a HUGE fan of hers and we've met her once. Her voice is just phenomenal and every show she puts on is incredible however I have to say the Girl Effect concert was by far the best I've been to! 

The concert wasn't the only Girl Effect event going on that day and we took a short walk down to Vibe Bar on Brick Lane to have a little look round the events taking place there. As we had concert tickets we were kindly gifted some Tatty Devine necklaces that had been designed especially for the day and are shown below.

The concert was such an eye opener and really made me appreciate just how lucky I am. For more information about Girl Effect visit http://www.girleffect.org/ and check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e8xgF0JtVg

How amazing is that playsuit?!

Dream Dungarees

Hi everyone! 

I must apologise for the lack of posts lately, things have been pretty manic round here so I haven't had a chance to get photos taken but hopefully everything will be back to normal very soon.

Today I was planning to blog about the Girl Effect concert my sister and I went to last week, however I went shopping today and I just had to blog about two items I purchased, so tomorrows post will be about the concert.

On to today's post. For a while now I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of denim dungarees and I just couldn't find the right pair. Now, I'm not fussy but when I have an idea of what I want in my head I won't get anything unless it's exactly what I'm looking for. I had been looking everywhere and trawling the internet for the perfect set of dungarees. I tried some on in Primark and River Island a while ago but the legs were a skinny fit and I wanted some that were baggy so I could turn them up. 

THEN today when I walked into Primark and went to the denim section I saw the PERFECT dungarees AND they were only £7!!!!! BARGAIN!!

Another of today's purchases were my Nike Roshe Runs. Again for a while now I've been after a pair of trainers and after looking at all the different styles I decided I wanted some roshe runs so today I popped into JD and picked up this hot pink pair from the junior section. They're so light and comfy and I love the colour. So now I some good trainers I have no excuse for not going out for runs and getting fit!

What are your views on dungarees?

Until next time

Shorts/Top - New Look
Shoes - Primark

Hello everyone! I'm homeeeee! 

It's been a while since my last post so this feels like I'm starting my blog all over again! It feels good to be home, 2 weeks away from the family felt more like 2 months, however I did have a really lovely holiday and the weather was just perfect for me! I've definitely got to go abroad again as I'm a bit in love with my tan at the moment (I'm more tanned in real life than the pictures make me look!) and I LOVED flying, I actually found it surprisingly relaxing. 

Anyway onto the outfit. This little Co-Ord arrived this morning and is from the New Look sale. I saw it when it first came out and loved it but never got round to buying it so when I saw it in the sale for £15 for the set I couldn't resist. It's so comfy and summery and can be dressed up or down, also its made from a really light fabric so is perfect in this hot weather.

Until next time

P.S. Here are a few holiday snaps!

Classic

Coat - H&M
Dress/Heels - New Look
Sunglasses - Primark

For ages I've been after a trench coat, however I wanted one that was a bit different, so when I saw this beauty in H&M it was love at first try! I've paired it with one of my holiday dresses from New Look and a classic pair of nude shoes to keep the outfit quite simple. I would love to be able to wear outfits like this everyday but obviously it wouldn't be very practical to go to work at a kids club in heels and a cream jacket, so I'll just have to save this kind of outfit for appropriate occasions. 

I hope you're all well, this is my last scheduled post as I'm back on Thursday! BOOOOO!

Until next time

Simple Brights

Dress - Topshop
Sunglasses - Primark 

Flossy's - Office

Another scheduled post for you all today. I hope you're all well and the weather is good for everyone at home! 

Today's post is actually the outfit I travelled to Spain in. I chose to travel in this as it's bright, summery and comfortable! The dress was a recent sale find in Topshop which cost £15 and it's made from a really good quality material. I paired it with my amazing Flossy's, which I have to say are one of the comfiest pairs of shoes I own! Wearing them is like wearing a pair of slippers so they were perfect for travelling in. 

Until next time
