I cannot wait for holidays. Here are my favourite picks that I really love at the moment (I didn't include any swimwear as I just did a post on those recently)

1) Asos Backless Body // 2) Zara Printed Dress // 3) Nails Inc Summer Collection '13 // 4) Lavish Alice Asymmetric Skirt // 5) Chockers Shoes Flatforms // 6) Primark Studded Sandals // 7) New Look Neon Yellow Statement Necklace // 8) EBay Neon Orange Bag // 9) Topshop Mint Green Cami // 10) New Look Statement Necklace // 11) EBay Backless Body // 12) Chockers Shoes Strappy Heels

[Will post the links tomorrow]
 

Who doesn't love floaty dresses, pretty shoes and gorgeous bright coloured nail polish shades for a summer holiday! All I've been thinking about recently is getting away into the sun and these are some pieces that have really caught my eye this season. [Sorry about the quality of some of the pictures, they're a little small and a bit blurry!]

Keeping it quick today as I'm knackered. I got up really early this morning after being up late last night and went into Cardiff to do some shopping. Couldn't believe how full it was. There were really good sales but the queues were soooo long. I gave up in the end, which is definitely not like me. BUT... this does mean I have a little haul post coming up soon now  as I shopped quite a bit... mostly bits for holidays. I actually bought the sandals (item number 6) in the image today, they were half price in Primark! Also got number 7 too from eBay delivered the other week but that's a different story, I'll throw that in a haul post too maybe.

Hope you've all had a great day and have a great weekend!

#3 Wish List: The Home Edit

Ikea Oval Frame // Ikea Frame // Matalan Gunmetal Angle Vase //  Ikea Ung Drill Mirror // Argos Light Shade // H&M Round Boxes // H&M Round Glass Vase // Ikea Candle Dish // Asda Owl Candle // Asda Scented Candle // Asda Cushion // Vintage Rose Candle

I love homeware. My room is currently black and white with dashes of pinky/purples thrown in and a mix match of some new looking pieces and vintage looking pieces. I've actually got some of the items in the image above but most of them are bits that I think would look great with what I've already got. 

I love the 'home sweet home' cushion as it's the main item with some colour in it and for that reason it stands out. It has really cute pink pom poms on the sides too! I already have the Ikea Ung Drill Mirror Frame, the Argos Droplets Light Shade, the Matalan Gunmetal Vase as well as the Matalan Vintage Rose Candle Holder, but I'd like to get another one to match. I have a slight obsession with candles and because of this I could really do with the candle tray. The pink candle also really stands out and the owl shaped one is just adorable so would be a nice addition to my ever growing collection. I have quite a small room, in-fact it's tiny so storage is always good especially when it comes in the shape of those H&M round boxes/tins and photo frames, I have way too many but these in the picture are cute!

What do you think of these pieces? Would they look good in your rooms too?

#2 Wish List: Dorothy Perkins

I had a bit of a lazy day today and didn't get around to doing some outfit of the day photographing (will try and get some done tomorrow if I have time) as I've been sorting through what I want to wear for one of my best friend's birthday night out on monday (that reminds me I must wrap her presents!) Cannot wait!

On to this post anyway... I love Dorothy Perkins... I think when it comes to fashion, compared with Topshop, Miss Selfridge and Zara, Dorothy Perkins just don't get enough credit! Their clothing, accessories and shoes are always affordable and most definitely student friendly (always a bonus!). Yes, they always have your average tops, jeans, day-to-day sort of stuff but some pieces are really good staple pieces that you will always need in your wardrobe along with some real stand out items too.

Anyway... being a shortie at just 5"0, a petite range is always good to me, so some of these items are only available in petite (Some perks I suppose, haha). Bomber jackets are definitely in at the moment and there are 2 of my favourite picks in the above. One as you can see has the same check print pattern as the jumpsuit but being short and curvy, I'm not sure I could pull that one off. Again 2 tube skirts... becoming an obsession... love these both although I did buy a cobalt blue midi tube skirt from Primark which is exactly the same around 4 weeks ago for a mere £5! What an absolute steal! Statement necklaces, another that's always good in my books.

Anything you like the look of?

#1 Wish List: River Island

Here are some of the items I'm currently loving from River Island at the moment. Some bright, light and pastel shades all perfect for spring/summer. I also love the range of patterns and textures on some of the items and the fringing on the kimono! Three midi pencil skirts.... I love midi skirts! Cannot get enough of them right now as well as the midi and thumb rings. Still in love with peplums too. I picked these items as they were by themselves but I love how I've been able to mix and match them with each other and there's plenty of outfit choices between them. Roll on the warm weather and sun... pretty please.

Have you spotted anything you like in River Island at the moment?
