*OOTW* #6




I have finally booked both of my holidays for this year. In may I am going to Magaluf for my friend's 21st and in July I am going to Tunisia with my lovely boyfriend :) So excited for my summer plans, have any of you booked any summer plans yet?
So with all this happening it has gotten me a little excited, to say the least, for SUMMER! Hence the brightly coloured outfit and the coolest shades ever.
This outfit would be perfect for a holiday evening just by changing the shoes, but also perfect for summer stroll through country lanes which inspired the cute comfy footwear.
I love all these items and they are all on my holiday wish list. 
Have any of you made a holiday wish list yet if so post me the link below I'd love to give it a read.

Happy Saturday everyone, enjoy your plans whatever they may be :)

*Brits 2013*

Hello lovelies :)

So as you should all know unless you live under a rock that the Brit Awards took place this week. I do love award shows not that I can sit through them, they're just sooo long. The main thing about the award shows for me, as I'm sure is with every girl, is THE DRESSES!! I must say I was quite disappointed as mostly they were hideous but there were some STUNNING ones and some ok ones. So without further ado.......

Who Got It Right

                         
Taylor Swift in Elie Saab - best dressed of the night!!

Rita Ora (after party) So glad she changed.

Little Mix looking fab as always

Tom Daley 'nuff said.

Rebecca Ferguson LOVE but un-matching shoes :/

Just right.
Jo Whiley in Halston Heritage

James Corden - Just so funny.

Love this dress!

Who Got It Wrong

*OOTW* #5



Hello lovelies :)

Sorry for the delay with my ootw post but as you know if you've read my other posts I have been home and away from my laptop but I'm back in Spain now and ready to blog. This outfit is different to my usual but it reflects what clothes I have been looking at this week.

So this week I met up with my friend Olivia. She has her school prom in a months time and is desperately trying to find a dress. This post is inspired by her as we have literally traipsed through every fashion website looking for the perfect dress. If you have your prom coming up too then you will understand how difficult this can be. She has found and ordered so many but there's always something that stops it from being 'The One'.

I came across this one the other night on Miss Selfridge. Being a spring prom I think this dress ticks all boxes. It's simple, a perfect dusky pink colour, and the small pleats, embellished shoulders and not to mention that stunning dropped back would make you look like a floating angel :)

It was sooo hard to try and find accessories to match though. This bag goes quite well but I'm not entirely happy with the shoes but they were the best I could find. 

If any of you know of any websites that sell inexpensive prom dresses please could you let me know I would be very grateful :)

Hope you like this outfit and if any of you have come across a perfect prom dress please let me know in a comment below.

*A Hopeless Romantic*



Hello lovelies!

Hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day yesterday. Being in a relationship I'm one of those people who loves this holiday, any excuse for gifts ;) I woke up to a bunch of roses being delivered to my door followed by a lovely cooked breakfast with a heart shaped egg <3
I decided to make cookies in the afternoon and made, attempted to make, them heart shaped to follow the theme of the day. Unfortunately, they didn't quite turn out heart shaped but they still tasted yummy if I may say so myself. I used this Millie's Cookies recipe so why not give it a try, they're so easy to make and taste delicious.
When my boyfriend retuned home from uni we indulged in the most delicious Frankie's and Benny's I've had in a while and to top off the day we finally booked our holiday in the evening, hooray!!
I've loved looking at all your pictures of your days so thought I'd quickly share mine.
Enjoy your weekend, I am returning to Spain on Monday and will be reunited with my laptop so look out for  my posts next week :)

*OOTW* #4




Hello hello!
So this week has been really busy welcoming new Erasmus students to Zaragoza for the second semester. It's so much fun meeting new people from all over and either communicating with badly spoken Spanish or discovering they can speak English.
Anyway I have returned home for a week and I borrowed my boyfriends laptop to continue with my post of  outfit of the week but sorry in advance for the lack of other posts.
Lately I have been obsessed with these chunky statement necklaces and I just fell in love with this one at first sight but at £60 it will have on stay on my wishlist. 
I've noticed that this outfit is quite dark and gloomy :/ sorry about this maybe it's a result of the effect this British weather has on me. It's sooo depressing!
Anyway another love of mine lately is Mid's. I know they've been around for a while but I've just never fancied them but they have definitely grown on me lately and I can't wait to purchase one :)
I hope you like this outfit and enjoy your Saturday night what ever you may do!! I'm having a Chinese eek so excited.

*Tartan*


Hello lovelies!!
So this is what I wore yesterday. I've been a fan of the tartan trend since it first hit the shops but I could never find the right item until I found this shirt. I actually got it in the sale in Zara mentioned in my sale haul post here. It's such a soft shirt, sort of silky like, (don't know if you can tell by the pictures) which makes it soooo comfy. I also couldn't wait to wear my new shoes. I just love Zara shoes as again they are so comfy and the soles are quite cushioned. So basically yeh, I Love Zara!!

Hope you like the outfit and enjoy your day :)
