Sunglasses


So I picked the gloomiest, least sunny day to shoot this - clever! 

Sunglasses are definitely an essential for summer and finding the right pair at the right price can sometimes be difficult. Personally, I struggle with two things with sunglasses: 1) finding a pair that stay on my head 2) keeping a pair and keeping them unbroken for more than one summer. 

Pink round sunglasses: Asos
Pink/ orange metal frame sunglasses: Topshop
Subtle cat eye sunglasses: Topshop

When looking for a pair of sunglasses, I usually hit the high street. Purely because they're reasonably priced but also because it means I won't cry if I lose them or break them (I usually do). Topshop are brilliant for sunglasses, they have a huge range of different styles, colours and shapes so I would definitely recommend their range this year. The pink/ orange metal pair, I purchased for £15 from Topshop. I like them because they're relatively subtle in terms of the translucent plastic frame and the thin metal sides. The only issue I have found with this pair of sunglasses is the fact that because of the 'awkward' colour, they can be difficult to match with an outfit- this is what I've discovered. They don't fit my head particularly well, they do have a tendency to slide around slightly however I think that may be and issue with relatively inexpensive sunglasses - a quality issue which you wouldn't experience with a designer pair. I have worn these a handful of times and I do think they're very sweet! 

The pink plastic Asos pair of sunglasses are great. I bought them last year for around £12, I can't quite remember and I still have them - indestructible haha!! Because they're round and quite bold I think they're the perfect pair of sunglasses for going to festivals or fairs etc because they are SO funky. They fit me really well and look really great with an all-pink or white outfit. I would highly recommend having a browse on Asos' website for sunglasses. 

The final pair of sunglassses that I wanted to share with you are also from Topshop. They were priced at £16. They are 100% my 'go to' pair of sunglasses because they match with everything and fit my pea-head really really well. The subtle cat eye means that they look super stylish but aren't too flamboyant which I love about them. Because of the colour, you can wear them with just about anything and the plastic frame, I find, means they feel a lot tighter and more secure on my head! The best thing about topshop's glasses, of course, is the fact you get agree sunglasses case with each pair you purchase - super handy! 

See you soon ! X

| Festival / Holiday Look No.1 | 20/06/17 |

HELLO HELLO! So this is going to be a little 'saga' of looks I've selected that I think would be super appropriate for your summer holidays, or equally just as good as a festival outfit. I am aiming to make them as realistic as possible, in the sense that each outfit is something that I would actually wear on holiday, and also so that each look is relatively affordable and could incorporate items you already have hidden in your wardrobe, alongside more trend-based pieces. Hopefully, this will be a success and may inspire you while planning your own holiday outfits. I don't know about you guys, but I find it ever so tedious trying to plan holiday outfits, so I feel like this would help me! Lastly, I am going away soon myself, so I am hoping to use these blog posts to document outfit ideas that I will be able to wear myself! ENJOY. - OUTFIT - Top:  Pretty Little Thing Skirt:  ASOS Sunglasses:  Spitfire Earrings:  ASOS Espadrilles:  ASOS...

Keeping up with the casual-attire

  HAPPY FRIDAY GUYS!  I hope you're having a fabulous Friday doing crazy fun stuff (in which case this may be happy hangover Saturday because you're not likely to be browse- happy tonight) - anyway...       I thought I'd blog about something a bit more personal, an outfit that's more down-to-earth in the sense that it represents my day-to-day style. I am definitely guilty of being a jeans and a nice top kind of gal, and for that, this outfit accurately represents my laziness/ casual daily attire.                Sunglasses: Topshop Leather jacket: Heely's Smock top/ dress: Asos  Choker: Asos Jeans: Topshop Sandals: ?????  I must admit, the only recent item in this outfit is the choker, and I would definitely recommend taking a look on Asos if you're keen to try out a choker because I have lived in mine all summer. It's so comfortable and I managed to find a style online that I thought would suit my style and look ...

| Unwinding | 05/09/17 |

Morning you lovely lot! Today on the blog, I have a post all about being able to relax at the end of the day, and how I most like to unwind. We have such busy lives and schedules, that it is so important to take some time at the end of the day to chill out and declutter your mind from the thoughts of the day. Here are the five ways in which I best unwind, and maybe you too could have a think about how you allow yourself to relax. 1. Cuppa tea The most obvious(ly British) way to unwind is to grab yourself a cup of tea. For me, drinking a cup of tea is one of the single most effective and easiest ways to help me unwind. The whole tea experience is something to enjoy, making the perfect brew in your preferred mug, grabbing a couple of biscuits or the whole packet if you fancy it and sitting down to watch Netflix. Before almost completely forgetting that you made the tea but then suddenly saving it when its gone slightly luke warm and the disappointment on your face is unruly...
