Minty Fresh

Dress Topshop | Bag Accessorize | Shoes La Redoute 

So I haven't blogged in forever and have felt completely out of it. I have finished uni and started a proper job and gone on holiday, so I have been so tired and busy I haven't had any time to sit down and blog. However I am hoping to get back into the swing of things and make use of this gorgeous weather we've been having. 

I just came back of holiday then went to a wedding a few days after so I needed to have my outfit ready and prepared. As it was a summer wedding I decided a dress would be prefect. I was unsure initially if i wanted a jumpsuit or co-ord but this dress decided it for me. This beauty is from topshop (its in the sale now too!)  I found it in their prom section but think its prefect for weddings too. The style is prefect for my shape and the length is suitable for my height. I absolutely love the back detailing on it - It looked even better with a tan! I was initially unsure about wearing mint but with a bit more colour than my normal pale self but it looked lovely. I struggled massively on the bag and shoes to match this dress but decided on this beautiful mint clutch from accessorize and black heels from La Redoute. I think the whole outfit works so well together and I loved wearing it. Im hoping I will find another occasion to wear this dress but doubt it'll happen for a while. In the meantime, I will be happy knowing its sitting in my wardrobe looking pretty. 

What colour are you loving at the moment?

Spring Wishlist

| Jacket Celeb Boutique | Handbag Ted Baker | Jumpsuit Newlook | Playsuit Topshop | Heels Newlook | 

There has been so much thats caught my eye at the moment, it always happens when I have no money and cant afford to buy any of it. However, with uni finishing and a job starting soon after, some of these items will hopefully end up in my wardrobe. 

This jacket from Celeb Boutique is stunning, I saw this on Chloe from The Only Way is Essex and have completely fallen in love with it, its such a gorgeous colour for those cooler spring days or for a night out. Recently I have been on a hunt for the perfect jumpsuit or playsuit, and i've found both. This jumpsuit from the Newlook petite section, its just like a topshop one I've had my eye on but for half the price. The playsuit which is from Topshop is so structured and classy, they also sell it in white which I'm super keen to invest in for my holiday. The handbag from Ted Baker is to die for! I need this bag for my new spring wardrobe but for £169, it might never be a possibility *sigh*.  These heels are more in my price range at £30 from Newlook, I think they would look perfect with the jumpsuit and a statement necklace. I need to make use of my student discount before I finish uni!

Feeling fresh, Feeling new

Happy New Year everyone! 

I cant believe its 2014! This year is such a big year for me I actually cant wait for it! Im turning 21, I'm graduating, I'm leaving Southampton to somewhere new (or wherever I can get a job) and I'm going on holiday to Portugal with the boy in Summer.

I thought seeing as its a new year, I would give my blog a little re-vamp. I like doing this every now and again, mainly because I get bored, but I'm learning so many things computery from blogging, I thought I should put it to good use. I really like how it looks at the moment and can see me keeping it for a while.

Excuse the set up at the moment - student accommodation isn't the nicest place to take blog photos.

This outfit is something i've been wearing loads since I got this jumper for Christmas. I already have this jumper in pink so asked for this colour to go with my collection (anyone else do that?) I absolutely adore this tiffany mint blue colour and think it looks so good with my jeans, which I need to wear more. I have been wearing my new Zara scarf with everything even if it doesn't match, lucky it matches really nicely with this jumper and jeans combo. I also tried it on with this statement necklace from Newlook. The jewels are slightly iridescent which matches the jumper perfectly.  I think it makes this outfit slightly smarter than my massive zara scarf. 

I cant wait to wear this outfit more and hopefully without a coat on when the weather gets a bit warmer! 

Did you get anything for Christmas that you cant stop wearing?

Build Me Up Buttercup

| Dress Jack Wills - too old I cant remember | Sandals Newlook £7.99 | Bag Primark £4 |

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day, i'm trying to make the most of them knowing we might not have long left until autumn weather! I decided to wear an old favourite of mine. This Jack Wills dress was bought for me as a well done for passing my GCSE's. That was 4 years ago! The thought of that makes me feel pretty old. 

I love the smock style of it, this style has been around a bit this summer which I love. I love how I can wear my Jack Wills dresses every year with them still being in fashion. I think they pick timeless shapes and patterns, and the quality is so good I can wear it for year and years! I love the print of this, blue and yellow are one of my favourite combinations, It reminds me of summer and holidays. I just want to run away abroad somewhere and not have to go back to uni! 

Do you have a favourite summer dress?
Also, Ive changed my blog layout a bit, let me know what you think.

BOOHOO SUMMER DRESS

| Dress Boohoo £15 | Necklace Dorothy Perkins £5 sale | Sandals Newlook £7.99 |

This dress has been so trusty and reliable all year. I bought this from boohoo last year around Christmas time and loved wearing it with tights and boots. However, this summer, I seem to have been living in this dress to the point where i've washed it and worn it the day after! I love the simplicity of this dress and how the necklace finishes off the outfit perfectly. These sandals have been comfy all summer for me and they go with everything so it was a no-brainer to wear these with my outfit. I wore this to a BBQ one night and it was the perfect casual and comfy dress to wear.  

I really want a dress in this smock style for winter but longer sleeved. I think It would be perfect with my Uggs and Zara bag. 

Have you found your perfect comfy dress?

JACK WILLS OXENFORD DRESS

| Dress Jack Wills £29 Outlet | Sandals Newlook £7.99 |

Im so happy the sun is shining today, i've finally been able to do a outside blog post. Today so far has been really lovely which is a nice change from the rain we've been getting. 

Today I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to wear my beloved Jack Wills dress. I bought this dress at the start of summer in Gunwharf Quays where my favourite Jack Wills outlet store is. As you all know, I love dresses and floral prints. So the combination is a dream for me. I love that its strapless yet still really casual to wear day to day. I really like the structured bodice which nips me in perfectly in at the waist. The length of the dress is also perfect for me as its not too long or too short. Overall, this is my favourite summer dress to wear, and the ditsy floral print is just so cute! 

Jack Wills have just released their Autumn collection which is so gorgeous! There are too many dresses I have my eye on for the colder months, defiantly worth a look.

Are you getting wear out of your favourite summer dress?

PRIMARK FLORAL DRESS

| Dress Primark £5 sale | Sandals Newlook £7.99 | 

I doubt i'm going to get any more wear out of this dress this year as the sun seems to have well and truly disappeared. It's a shame because I absolutely love this dress. I picked this dress up in the primark sale reduced from £17 to £5! I wouldn't buy anything from primark for £17 but i thought £5 was much better and a right steal. I really like the cut outs of this dress. I think they're more sophisticated cut outs compared to others i've seen. Im able to wear a normal bra with it without it being on show at all which is a bonus. I love how much material there is in the full skirt. Its such a simple outfit to wear either shopping or on a date or just enjoying the sunshine. I have had such a lovely week away and have come home now for my final month before going back to uni for my last year! Its such a scary thought having to think next year i'm going to be a big girl and live in the big world of work!

Do you own a cutout dress?

MY FEW WEEKS AT HOME

| Train ride home | Blonde hair | Ice cream is the best | The few clothes i've brought home | OOTD for Birmingham | Family BBQ | Grapes | 

| Cat sitting | Flowers in my garden | Zumba time | Holiday memories | Me and my cousin | My sister and Cousin messing around | 

| Beautiful shoes | Favourite summer dresses | Breakfast |

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, i'm not sure if its lack of motivation of just because i'm at home and enjoying some time off from everything and relaxing. 

I've been home for a few weeks now and i've really enjoyed my time. Obviously the sun has helped massively with my mood and what i've been doing. Plenty of ice cream eating and sunbathing has been happening. 

Next week is equally going to be as fun for me, I've been very lucky to be selected to go to the Celeb Boutique store opening at Westfields, so a lovely shopping day for me! I have also just found out i've passed my 2nd year of uni which is such a relief for me as i have tried and worked so hard this year so its obviously been paying off.
