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!

OOTD: Zara Floral Print Bomber Jacket

Bomber Jacket- Zara via eBay

T-shirt- Primark

Leggings- Select

Necklace- H&M

Rings- eBay

Bag- New Look via Asos

Chelsea Boots- F&F at Tesco

Hey Guys! So today, my mum and I headed out to do some shopping in Bridgend Town and then the McArthur Glen shopping outlet in Bridgend also and this is what I wore. I was sooo looking forward to getting this bomber jacket but if you follow me on twitter you would have seen that I got in on monday morning and the stitching in the side was all ripped and as a result is has a hole in it. I was gutted to say the least! I couldn't get a full refund for it when I contacted the seller as I would have had to send the jacket back and posting to China is bloody expensive so I decided to keep it and the seller gave me a partial refund. I'm hoping that my mum can sort it out for me though. She's pretty good with a sewing needle! Nevertheless I wore it today with my new New Look bag too!
We didn't really buy anything today apart from some cute storage boxes for my jewellery and treating my mum to some tops for her birthday that's next week. There are loads of sales on now too so everything nice was already sold or weren't in my size. Oh well!

I also found out my 2nd year uni grades today and I'm am chuffed to say that I passed with a higher overall mark than I expected! I got a 2:1! :D I can't wait to see my girls and celebrate with them!
If you're in uni and have had results like a lot people today, I hope you're all happy with your grades and go celebrate too!

Have a lovely evening!

Best Of The Best: My Favourite Statement Necklaces

1. New Look Statement Chain Necklace

2. Topshop Mixed Bead Collar Necklace

3. Primark Cord Pendant Necklace

4. Dorothy Perkins Coral Flower Necklace

5. Miss Selfridge Cord Rhinestone Necklace

6. Zara Blue & Teal Bead Statement Necklace

I love a good statement necklace. They take an average typical outfit and can make it into something special. I love the mix of colours that are out now and the different types of textures that they're made out of too.

1. This necklace is so big you definitely will not miss it. It has different coloured metal chains mostly silver with a few gold thrown in and would look great against a plain black canvas. This is one I feel would be quite easy to wear as it would go with most things.

2. Necklace number 2 is possibly my favourite, I wasn't too sure about it when I first saw it but the more and more I see it, the more and more I love it. I love the mix of colours and beading. It feels quite ethnic and I love the shape on it!

3. Primark definitely keep upping their game and this is a necklace that I'm looking out for. I love the coloured cord and the clash with the metal and the spikes as well as the blue and red colour clash. This would really give a simple shirt a bit of edge!

4. The colour on this necklace is gorgeous, just a three simple stand out bright orange flowers. I really do just love the simplicity of it.

5. This necklace also has a bit or coloured cord- I'm really into this at the moment, it's quite nice to put on a necklace in the morning and not have its metal chain and hook cold on the back of your neck. I hate that! This necklace is more on the pretty girly side compared with others as it's a light baby pink but I love the mix of shaped rhinestones added to it.

6. Zara always have great statement necklaces and this is just one of them. I love the mix of blues, teals, turquoises and greens in this and I think it would make a brilliant piece to mix with an orange blouse and like in this picture it looks brilliant up against white so also a simple plain white dress too.

Are you a fan of good necklace? Do any of these take your fancy?
