White w/ mesh sides - £38 River Island
Contrast Bandeau - £28 ASOS

I'm going back on holiday late August and since I have too many bikinis to count, I thought I'd try taking a swimsuit along with me for a change. This is just a few of my favourites, I'm swaying towards the white lace cut-out swimsuit, or the white Pacha one with mesh sides from RI, although the gold detailing puts me off so I'd have to cut that off!

If anyone has seen any nice swimsuits anywhere please let me know!

Khaki Heeled Mules - £55 from River Island
Nude Lace-up Sandals - £87.50 from ASOS
Mid-Calf Lace-up Heel - £34.99 from Public Desire
Beige Caged Sandals - £65 from River Island
Blue Tie Sandal - £39.99 from Zara
Brown Lace-up's £49.99 from Zara
Yellow Ankle Tie - £59.99 from Zara

Lace up sandals (a la Kardashian) are definitely having a moment just now. I got a pair of them last year and whenever I wear them I get so many compliments! I've been looking for a new pair of heels and these are a few of my favs on the highstreet right now. 

Zara have so many gorgeous sandals right now, I'm finding it hard not to buy them. I really love the brown lace-ups (above),they would go with just about everything and will be super cute in the summer. 

Public desire also have a huge collection of lace-up heels and have even dedicated their own click down link in the menu that goes straight to them.

Work-out Wishlist

Pink Waterproof Jacket - £15 race for life
Trainers - £20 Sports Direct
Grey & White Running Tights - £24.99 Puma via Sports Direct
Green & Black Tights - £19.99 Puma via Sports Direct

As I've recently began training for the race for life (sponsor me here), I've been buying more running clothes. I shouldn't say this but wearing nice clothes definitely makes it a bit easier and I know that i'll stick with it if I buy things for it! 
I tend to go to Sports Direct for my clothes since they sell lots of brands so I have a lot of choice. I also love Primark's work-out clothes, but usually find it difficult to get my size. 

I usually go for bright clothes, I currently have bright yellow trainers but I'm thinking of getting the blue and pink ones pictures above too. I really need to get a waterproof jacket too since the weather is so unpredictable in lovely Scotland. This one is from the Race for Life shop and is exactly what I'm looking for, and the fact that all profits go to cancer research is just a bonus. 



Sandals - £20, Boots - £35, Orange Skirt - £20, Bodysuit - £8.99
Grey Skirt £19.99, Dungarees - £35, Bag - £19.99
I decided to do one big post with my recent purchases rather than a few small ones. 

You might recognise a few of the items, and that's because they were in some of my previous wishlists!

I done quite a big ASOS order recently because I had a discount code for them, I also ordered some shirts for my dad but I didn't think anyone would want to see them. 
I was so excited to try the cut-out boots but they're too big at my ankles. I did expect this though, so I'm going to have to return them.  I am in love with the sandals though! They look super cute on as they tie up the leg. I know that I'll wear them with EVERYTHING in Summer. 

I also ordered the bright orange skirt from ASOS, it's in a nice light linen material and is an a-line shape so will fit into my wardrobe perfectly. 

The other skirt I bought is from Newlook, I bought it in the camel colour a few weeks ago and went back the other day for the grey. I was actually about to give up looking when my friend spied it hidden away - there was only two left and one was in my size so it was obviously meant to be! haha. 
The black bardot bodysuit (it's quite hard to see in the picture) is from Newlook too, but I bought it via ASOS. They actually sent me a size smaller as it was packaged wrong but because it's stretchy it still fits. I know it comes in a white so I might buy the other colour too since it sits lovely on and I find it so easy to wear.

The dungarees are from Next. I haven't actually worn these yet but will do an outfit post when I do! I'd been looking for some dungarees for a while and spied these on-line, however I need to warn you that the sizing is AWFUL. I'm usually an 8 but had to size down to a 6 and they're still quite roomy. 

And finally the suede fringe bag (my new obsession) is from H&M. I saw this when I was leaving the store and fell in LOVE. It's going to be perfect for summer and festivals.
NewLook Haul


Camel Skirt - £19.99
Zip Front Trousers - £14.99
Baseball Top - £12.99
Split Side Top - £14.99

I've been wanting a suede skirt for so so long now but I refused to pay a lot of money for it, but this came onto the NewLook website about a week ago and I just about cried with happiness. I'm loving suede right now and I also LOVE the Topshop suede biker jacket but it's just too expensive, I can't justify buying it.

I bought the long top and trousers for work for when the weather gets a big warmer.
Shoe Edit 




Leopard slip-on - Carl Scarpa 99 euros (around £75)
Lace up sandal - ASOS £20
Black ballerina - ASOS £22
Iridescent pointy flats- ASOS £35
Cut out boots - ASOS £35
Cut out heeled boots - ALDO £65


These are a few of my favourite shoes on-line at the moment. Of course the majority of them are from ASOS, due to me being OBSESSED with that website; I could literally buy all of my clothes from there for the rest of my life and be a happy gal. 

I know that i'll be getting a few of these in the next few months, but my favourites have to be the iridescent slip on's from ASOS, they look so pretty and I can't wait to buy them. Although I'm not sure what's happening to me since I'm loving the sports luxe trend for this season although I've never been a fan of sporty shoes but I also LOVE the slip on's from Carl Scarpa. CHANGE IS COMING. 

I couldn't resist putting a pair of boots in but I don't think I'll get these as they do look quite big at the ankle which is the bane of my life when buying boots. Although I might order them anyway and just return if they are too big. 

I've also added in a few sandals that I'm liking for summer. I really want a pair of long gladiator sandals but I haven't found any that I like enough to buy yet, so give me a holla if you know of any nice ones!

My sister's boyfriend is in a band and they were performing at a pub in town last night and I had never seen them before so went along - I feel terrible saying this but I've forgotten the name of the band but I'll try to slyly ask tonight. 

Now I'm not really one to go along to gigs and I thought it would be a bit out of my comfort zone but I really enjoyed myself.

I'm currently obsessed with the top that I wore, I just LOVE it. It's probably available on the newlook website too but I originally found it on ASOS. I would prefer if the top itself was a bit longer though - it's only available in 'petite' or 'tall' so I went for petite.


Daisy Street crop top £17.99
New Look zip slim trousers £14.99
Monki split top £20
ASOS mono print cigarette pants £32
ASOS high waist navy crops £25
ASOS kimono cardigan w/ lace hem £38
Fashion Union spotted tie waist shirt £16

I've been looking at revamping my work wardrobe a bit because I'm starting a new job (still in the same store, just for a new concession; Carl Scarpa). Here's some of what I might buy. I'm absolutely loving the navy spotty tie shirt and can't wait to buy it and also for the weather to get a bit better so that I can actually wear it .. 
The rest are just some basics that wont go wrong in any work wardrobe. 

ASOS grey furry £30
ASOS hologram £18
ASOS box with eyes £30
River Island zig zag £20
ASOS envelope £22
Matt & Nat grab £65

I find myself always using the same clutch bag when i go out, and it's a habit that I badly want to break so here's a few clutch bags that I found whilst having a browse on ASOS. I can see myself buying that box clutch with the googly eyes very very soon, it's far too cute! 
I've got to say, I'm also obsessed with the grey furry over-sized clutch - I first spied it on llymlrs.com and fell in love, I definitely can't resist a bit of faux fur. 

The other bags are ones that I just I would be so versatile and well used in any wardrobe. They are very neutral and wearable with almost anything (and yet not black) and also the zig-zag bag will make any black outfit pop.  

cuff bracelet £10 (2 pack) ASOS
ASOS Petite jumpsuit £40
New Look necklace £17.99
Carvela Giraffe sandals £140
ASOS strappy back body £18
New Look jumpsuit £34.99
ASOS wrap & cut-out body £20

With it being a bit colder I've swapped my dresses, skirts and shorts for body's, jumpsuit's and jeans. I've got to admit, I'm a bit obsessed with them now too, my number 1 stop is usuaully ASOS .. HELLOO student discount! Although even without that I always shop there simply because I've never had a single problem with them! Delivered on time and if I don't like what I get then it's so simple to return. 

I'll usually style my jumpsuits with the legs slightly rolled up paired with some barely there sandals and a clutch. I like to keep it quite simple but will usually give a pop of colour with my shoes or bag. 
I find body's much easier to style as they're pretty much a top, so jeans, skirts (I tend to go for midi's) and culottes with whatever shoes take your fancy!
