Charity shops are such cool places. You can find some amazing clothes for only a couple of pounds! However it does take A LOT of looking through racks to find something. Just be patient and search thoroughly. It's so worth it!
The dress is actaully a couple of sizes too big, which doesn't really matter because it has a cool 'oversized' look.
I love the mixture of the purple, pink, orange and yellow colours on the dress.
I accesorized the dress with some american flag converse, making the outfit casual and suitable for daytime. It can be worn for evening occasions as well.
Do you shop in charity shops? If you do, what are some of the best bargains you've ever got?
This is what I've been listening to throughout the summer!
♡ Automatic // Don Broco
Such a happy, summery song. Wherever in the world you are, it will transport you to a pool on a hot day. I'm really excited for Don Broco's new album to come out in a few days! I also recommend the songs What You Do To Me and You Wanna Know.
♡ Just For A Minute // San Cisco
In my summer playlist last year, I talked about the song Beach by San Cisco. Now they've released a new album and I'm certainly not disappointed! I'm more in love with their music than ever before.
♡ Young Blood // Saint Raymond
I saw Saint Raymond live supporting Ed Sheeran last october and immediately became a fan. This is such a fan indie pop jam, great for parties. And now I really want to see him live again!
♡ Your Love's Whore // Wolf Alice
Ellie Rowsell's vocals on this song are so beautiful and dreamy. Perfect for listening on long plane rides and long car journeys.
♡ Free // Cody Simpson
If you like acoustic, beachy music with a little bit of reggae, you'll love Cody Simpson's new album. So different from anything else he has done before, this album shows how much of a talented guitarist he is.
♡ Grand Affection // Swim Deep
Swim Deep's first album, Where The Heaven Are We, became my obsession two years ago. I'm really excited by their new music. Grand Affection is a lovely, atmospheric song.
What did you think of these songs? What are you listening to at the moment?
Hi there! Summer is the perfect time to experiment with cool and colourful makeup looks. I love to use vibrant blue eyeliner as I have blue eyes and it makes them really 'pop.' As pink is my favourite colour, some pink eyeliner on my water line tops the look off.
Products used:
♡ Barry M Kohl eyeliners: kingfisher blue and hot pink
♡ Collection supersize fat lash mascara- for long lashes to flutter at people
♡ Barry M pink blusher
♡ Zoella kissy missy pink lip balm- this has a bright pink 'candy' colour that really complements the eyeliner. Perfect on hot, humid days where lipstick is too heavy.
♡ Optional- eyeshadows in summery colours. I personally think the double eyeliner is enough and that eyeshadow may be overdoing it a little!
Something I recommend doing is putting a little blue eyeliner in the corners of your eyes to make them even more prettier. If you have blue eyes, this will defintely draw attention to them!
I then use the eyeliner to draw some little daisies and sometimes love hearts on my cheek.
I love to buy sketchbooks and fill them with anything I like, since at college the things we are allowed to create are a lot more restricted. I like to listen to my favourite music, look through magazines and scroll through blogs to get inspiration to create things.
I adore thigh highs and think they look even more amazing with heels. I love how they make my legs look incredibly long and give me a little body positivity.
This collage is inspired by the songs 'Girls Like Girls' by Hayley Kiyoko and 'The Hills' by The Weeknd.
There is a mixture of soft and delicate things like lace mixed with the neon signs, which is more harsh and dark. I got the pictures from Love and Dazed and Confused magazines.
Lipstick is my most used makeup item, I wear it even when I'm wearing no other makeup. A little bit of lipstick can really complete a look and gives me a lot of confidence.
At the moment I've been designing a lot of lingerie. I like to add simple pretty details such as lace, bows and pleats.
I've decided to document some of my favourite outfits from summer 2015, in a little series on this blog. I think this will be so great to look back on in future years and hopefully not be too embarassed by what I wore this year!
Tie dye tops are so perfect for summer, the colours look so beautiful and they are so easy to throw on, especially for the beach or the pool.
I love how there are so many flowers around this time of year. This one is amazing!
My Grandma and Grandad got me these shorts as a present from Spain and I absolutely adore them. It is so gorgeously deatiled and looks lovely with this white flower belt. I also don't own many clothes in white (probably because I spill food down my clothes even though I'm 17.) So this is a lovely new addition to my wardrobe, that I'll be wearing all summer and beyond.
Hope you enjoyed this little post from me, I really enjoyed taking the pictures in the sunny weather!
One of my favourite things about going on holiday is buying new clothes and planning what I'm going to take! Since I'm going to Spain at the end of August, here are some things I would really like to get:
- flower crowns and flower cat ears
- Zoella beauty tutti fruitti range
- cute play suits from Ark
And here's where I'm getting my inspiration from:
- Kayla Hadlington's amazing fashion blog
- Marchesa spring 2015 flower dresses
- Chloe from My Mad Fat Diary
- Taylor Swift
- crop tops and shorts (summer classics)
- Flowers, beaches and tie dye
What will you be wearing this summer? Where do you shop for holiday clothes?
Yesterday the sky was blue and the sun was out and summer had finally began! The warm weather put me in such a positive state of mind and I am so happy to wear my summer clothes finally!
The perfect summer top
This top is so stunning, I love the little crochet detailing on it at the bottom. It's so comfortable and easy to pull on so you can look great and summer ready without making much effort! It's also perfect for putting on over bikini's.
The cutest bargain shorts
I found these adorable shorts (originally Topshop) in a charity shop for only £2.50, such a bargain! They are super versatile and can be worn casually for everyday, or dressed up with a crop top and heels for the evening.
The ideal (and delicious) summer purse
I'm literally addicted to fruit, so this bag makes me so hungry. Hopefully I don't eat it on the bus when my energy levels are low.
Hope you enjoy the beautiful sunny weather, loads more posts coming soon!
