MY SUMMER BUCKET LIST


I know it's not Summer yet but I can dream right? I've been dreaming of Summer now more than ever with the weather in the UK finally perking up, Dubai and Ayia Napa planned and an extra long Summer ahead of me before Uni I am sooo excited and I cannot wait for school and exams to be over and for me to be in the sun, by the pool, cocktail in hand! So here are a few things that I'm hoping to get up to or do this Summer, and hopefully I can tick them off as they are completed.

  1. Vlog Napa and Dubai, any vlog camera suggestions? Can't exactly use my SLR to vlog easyly, please let me know below if you have any!
  2. Go on a road trip (which would mean passing my driving test). I'll also need a car which I don't have so this is looking like a more and more unrealistic goal, anyone else wanna drive?
  3. Watch the sunset/sunrise on the beach. 
  4. Go paragliding on holiday. Or any sort of water sport besides jet skiing, I've done it before but it kind of only hit me after how dangerous they are which really unsettles me
  5. Go bright with my hair! Grey or blue? I really want to dye my hair a fun colour and Summer is the best time to get away with that!
  6. Visit a theme park. If you don't go to Thorpe Park (or Alton Towers) in Summer WHAT? It's the best time to go! You dry so quickly after the water rides as well!
  7. Go to a concert/ festival. I can't go to see my bae Drake at Wireless because I'm away (weep with me guys :'/) and I do not think I'm cut out to stay all of Reading so any other suggestions?
  8. Get a crazy cool henna tattoo. Last year in Zante I got a pretty rubbish inside joke henna but I want a really extravagant mehndi design, definitely going to by some tubes to play around with.
  9. Save A LOT for Uni. Hopefully when I'm not away or blogging I can use my time productively to work, I'm not sure if I'm ready for the renowned strained finances of a proper student, au revoir branded food.
  10. Meet new people. I love meeting new people, and even though I'm going to be meeting so many new people in Autumn but it's never to early to start and there is so many different things to do with people in the Summer.
  11. Spend a day on holiday of all social media and phones (minus my camera). It's so easy to not actually take in a moment or experience because you're looking down at a screen, or you can be me and annoy everyone by going missing searching for wifi.
Let me know what you are up to this Summer and what is on your Summer 'bucket list', thanks for reading and don't forget to follow!

HOORAY FOR NO TIGHTS

dress (worn as top): american apparel
skirt: new look
leather jacket: matalan
sunglasses: primark

Hooray to the first of many tightless outfits! With the weather really picking up I decided to pass on my trusty Primark 40 denier tights and go bare legged. This dress as actually one of my favourite items to wear as a top, is extremely snug, with a low back and stripes go with almost everything! Although with it hitting up to 20 degrees I probably won't even be wearing long sleeves for much longer! I chucked on a skater dress and flung my leather jacket around my waist when it started to heat up, it also doubled up as way of making sure my skater skirt didn't go flying about in the wind. 

Let me know what you've been getting up to this Easter holiday below and don't forget to follow!

BARGAIN OF THE WEEK #2


swimsuit- American Apparel

Please replace the word weekend with CENTURY. American Apparel are having the craaaaaaaaaziest sale at the moment. AA is probably one of those shops that I covet almost everything , but the prices, ohhh the prices, they are not kind. I've been hearing a lot about this sale on YouTube and have seen a lot of people hauling items from it, so when I happened to be in London the other day I had to check out the store,  my jaw literally hit the floor (ok maybe not literally but yh). 70, 80 and 90% off, like whaaaat?! I'm so annoyed I didn't go earlier because I saw so many amazing items for so little but none of them were in my size. Anyway on this particular buy, I managed to snag £48.80 OFF, it was originally £61 and I got it for £12.20, like how amazing? This cosie will be perfect for my holidays, with a pair of shorts on top it could double up as a gorgeous floral body. It reminds me so much of 90s swimwear with the high leg and print and I am definitely going to be getting  more 90s inspired swimwear from AA! Unfortunately I'm probably not gunna rock the look as well as these 90s babes!

What has been your bargain of the week? Have you checked out the AA sale? Let me know below and make sure to follow!

SPRING!

vest top & jeans: topshop
jacker: matalan (similar)
boots: missguided

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE (for the mean time) and that means less layers! I do have to admit Spring is my least favourite season, I know, crazy, but let me explain. It's a it too warm to wear turtlenecks without being looked at funny (and I do love a good turtleneck), if you wear all black in spring you are bound to look grumpy besides the rest of the population sporting head to toe pastel and it's that awkward season in between shorts and scarves. But at the moment I am loving it! The weather is sooo nice and I can actually just wear a leather jacket without feeling like I am going to catch pneumonia! This is probably going to end up being one of my go-to spring outfits and it'll be so easy to switch up, you could swap the mom jeans for boyfriend jeans or white ones and the black leather jacket for a pastel colour to make a totally different outfit!

I hope you all had a great four day weekend filled with chocolate, because I know I did! Let me know what you got up to below! Thank you for reading and make sure to follow!

OH KHAKI DAYS

jumpsuit- primark (similar)
jacket- matalan
necklace- topshop
heels- debenhams (similar)

Khaki has been a colour that has surprisingly been extremly on trend at the moment, even though it doesn't seem like the most obvious colour for spring I love it as a laid-back alternative to black. Boiler suits have also been a huge trend and this item is a great combination of both. As well as it being so easy to throw on and dress up or down it is probably one of the best bargains I've managed to find this year, costing only a fiver (moment of silence for Primark please- you the real MVP). I love that it can be worn loosely or fitted and D-Rings are on of my favourite things at the moment, they give an item such a nice bit of detail, even thought they are so small! Oh and I know what you're thinking, "how did she come up with such a fab title?" What can I say? I'm talented.

Let me know what you think of the khaki trend, and what your favourite trend are this Spring! Thanks for reading and make sure to follow!
