Throwback to when the sun came out

Sunglasses - Bought on holiday

Crop Top - Zara (Sale)

Skirt - H&M

Boots - Topshop (sale)

I know this post doesn't exactly help as it's now raining in the UK, but I wore it when iy was sunny so decided to post it anyway! If you are lucky enough to be going away this skirt is lovely, really simple, but a little different as it has like a bumpy texture. Lovely tie at the waist, which helps nip you in. This skirt sold out practically straight away in my H&M so not sure if it's still available anywhere!

What have you been up to in this horrible weather!? (I'm sulking)

Love

Relaxing in Rhodes - My holiday purchases

When in Rhodes I can't help but to at least buy a piece of jewellery, but this time I bought a necklace, jumper and a pair of ray-berrys/fay-bans, basically fake ray bans. The jewellery shops alone are amazing, but I couldn't resist this hand painted jumper (link to Facebook group here). If you ever go to Lindos make sure you take a look at this shop which is next to Alex's restaurant. The man in there hand paints the jumpers himself, he says they are all washable etc etc, and they are €50 (I got mine for €40 as there was a hole in mine), but seriously the designs are incredible and I could've bought more than one.

Let me know what you think of my purchases, I think I did pretty well!

P.S I will do an outfit with this glorious jumper, but for the purposes of this post I was just showing you the jumper only!

Kimono Love

Kimono - Urban Outfitters

Top - ASOS

Necklace - ASOS

Jeans - Topshop

Flip Flops - River Island (I think now on sale in store)

I am absolutely loving kimono's at the moment! In my previous post I wore on, and here I am wearing another. I stole this one off of my sister so I didn't have to fork out £40, but I do think some can be quite expensive. This one is really beautiful though!

Another thing I have been loving is these Birkenstock-esque flip flops. I got these a while back, but I think they may have just gone into sale in River Island. They are super comfortable, although they make a REALLY strange sound when walking. It happens only sometimes, but it's like a farting sound, so weird, but hey ho! 

One final thing is I am really loving plaiting my hair at the moment. With this style a lll I did was have my hair in two normal plaits all day and took them out and this was the outcome. It has become a really easy/great alternative to curling with heat. 

Anyone found any kimonos that are reasonably priced?

Bikinis for BIG BOOBS!

Hello there! 

As summer has arrived, and my holiday is getting closer and closer the mammoth task of finding a bikini that will fit (nicely) onto my big boobs has begun. In about the last 4 years I have put on weight everywhere, but also gone up 3/4 bra cup sizes. 

I have started to find bikinis for anyone and everyone just aren't flattering for my size. I's love to be able to go into H&M and buy their bikinis (I have looked and there are some lovely ones), but I just can't really do it anymore. 

Quite a lot of big department stores like Debenhams and John Lewis, will have a section for 'fuller bust' (DD+), but I haven't seen ones with patterns that I overly like. I decided I would try ASOS; firstly because I, as most people know, love ASOS, and secondly because I know there would be such a wide variety that I would be able to buy loads and pick my top. 

The two bikinis that are pictured below are both from ASOS, but one is a Freya bikini. I know Freya is extremely pricey, but both bras and bikinis just fit really nicely. I love the high waisted bottoms I have for both, as my tummy is my problem area. 

Top - ASOS

Bottoms - ASOS

Bottoms - ASOS

Anyone have any advise for finding bigger sizes of bikinis, I'm desperate for a bandeau style one?

Finally got my boyfriend back!!

So as you may or may not know I have a boyfriend, who I have been with for nearly 4 years! When we are at Uni we see each other every other weekend, which is quite tough anyway, but for this time we weren't seeing each other for a month! I'm not going to lie it was really tough, but on Tuesday he was finally home! I was sooooo excited!! We went out for dinner to pizza express which was nice, and really cheap (as we used a voucher). 

Here is what i wore, and obviously a selfie of me and the boyf! 

 Necklace - Topshop

Top - ASOS

Skirt - Topshop

Bag - Whistles, on ASOS

Sandals - Primark

Surprise birthday meal!

Necklace - 

Top - Topshop

Shorts - H&M

Sandals - Primark

Recently I've gone out with my best girlfriends and this is what I wore!

Once again this was a bargain buy from H&M. I found these shorts in the bikini section in store (can't find them online). It's suddenly got really hot so I thought I would brave it for dinner and get my legs out! haha. I wish these shorts were a little more high waisted than they are, but I will get over it, as they were such a good buy. 

Have you found any good summer buys?

My summer lip

Hey,

So if you read my previous post you would have seen I was wearing a coral kinda coloured lipstick! Well since buying it I have worn it on many occasions, and I can just tell it's the lipstick I will be wearing most this summer. As you are probably aware I do wear a lot of black and white, so I think having a bright lipstick just adds a teeny bit of colour!

So as you can see by the packaging it is the Kate Moss range by Rimmel. The colour is 110. I really love it, as I've said, and even if it fades on the lip it is still a nice colour.

What's your favourite lipstick ATM?

Thanks for reading,

Love

A weekend of sun, fun, and pretty views

Hi everyone, as you are all probably aware I go to University in Portsmouth. My boyfriend and me see each other every other week, and it last weekend he came down to see me. It was nice weather, which meant we could actually do things!

On the Friday we went to have a picnic in a National Park. I really love picnic's! I think they're so cute!
I went to get the food from m&s, and the picnic blanket from primark. I think I got the most bright one there, but I think it's very summery and hopefully I'll get some use out of it this summer (if the weather gets warmer)!








The second day we went up the spinnaker tower, which is in Gunwarf, where there is a shopping outlet place. I really enjoyed going up it, but did think it was quite pricey. For me it was cheaper as I was a student plus resident, but Dan had to pay non-student and non-resident. I think for something to do it was really good as there is a glass floor which you can walk across and you can see for miles. I'm glad I went up it as i've been living in Portsmouth but never got the chance.

Here is my outfit of the day, when I went up the spinnaker tower, then we went to TGI Friday's in the evening which was really nice.

Glasses - H&M (stole from Dan)

Top - Topshop

Jeans- Topshop

Flatforms - River Island

Bag - Topshop

On my lips I am wearing a new lipstick from Rimmel which I absolutely adore. It is definitely going to be my summer go-to lipstick. Look out for a blogpost on that! 

As always thanks for reading,

Lots of love

BLOG CATCH UP: Holiday outfits

This is my final blog catch up piece, and after this I am going to tell you about my time starting University and stuff! So I went on holiday in September and these are a few outfits, and if you're lucky enough to be going anywhere hot (unlikely, as it's November) then here is a few ideas.

 So this outfit has the skirt from Topshop (in my previous blog post), I got this crop top from Topshop also, I think with high waisted skirts or shorts and just showing a tiny bit of skin looks nice. My bag although you can't see it is the Marc B quilted one from Topshop, and finally my sandals are from H&M.

 My hair I have curled and used my Babyliss curling wand. My crop top is again from Topshop, the shorts are also Topshop. The sandals I'm wearing are from Zara.

Finally this is possibly one of my cheapest outfits! The playsuit is from Debenhams and it had 70% off so was only £8 or something, My sandals are from Primark, and my bag is one I've had for years from H&M!

Thank you for reading.

Lots of love
