Summer Staples # 4 - Festival Style Essentials

I am off to a local festival called WOMAD next week and I cannot WAIT. When it comes to festivals i'm all about the festival style, any excuse to wear a flower headband and i'm there. Thought i'd show you a few festival goodies which I picked up in Primark recently...

Headband - £3

Black Hat - £8

Bum Bag - £6

Some of these beauties in action with my favourite playsuit! 

I will hopefully do a post all about WOMAD, currently praying that this glorious weather will hold out! Can't waaait :)

London Baby

A particularly lovely day in London recent was spent with my good friend Tanja. She is one of those people who knows the best places to eat so I was certainly not dissapointed by our lunch at "Jak's". It has a kind of deli vibe where you pick your main and two sides. We both chose the Tuna and I had some pasta and greek salad on the side, was sooo yummy!

Lunch followed by a lot of shopping and strolling around London made for a perfect day in the sun!

Always nice to have a change of scenery for a day.

Summer Staples #3

Fuss-free Jewellery

When it get's to hot weather, festivals, travelling.. I just can't be bothered with thinking about what jewellery to wear and switching it up daily. I especially can't stand it when you buy a new ring and it before you know it it leaves a blue trace because it's such poor quality.

So I generally opt for Sterling Silver jewellery that I never have to take off and looks good with pretty much anything! It doesn't have to break the bank either as you will see...

Hoop earrings: all from Claire's roughly £5-7 depending on how many per pack

Left to right...
Cross ring - Claire's £10

Small band ring - Part of a pack of 3, Accessorize £15

Thumb Ring - Accessorize, £8

Bobble ring - Pandora, Gift

Daisy ring - Daisy, Gift

Plain silver band - Part of pack of 3 (see above), Accessorize £15
Small heart ring - Accessorize, £5/6

If you are someone like me who doesn't want to have to worry about the faff of jewellery, definitely start a little silver collection!

What's your go-to summer jewellery peice?

Summer Staples #1

So since the weather has been getting warmer I thought i'd do a run down of the things i'm loving in the summer. So let's get started with a bargain pair...

Summer Staples #1

Birkenstock looky-likes - £4 Primark 

These shoes are the comfiest things ever and I kind of love how clumpy they look when they're on. My feet never got on well with flip-flops so these are a great alternative! And such a bargain.

Hello There

Im back!

I apologise for the lack of posts recently but you know when life (and laziness) just gets in the way? I have been busy with work and also finally having a social life as my friends slowly come back from university for the summer.

With the lovely weather comes festival season. Now i'm not going to any big festivals this year sadly but there are always a few small local ones where I live which are always fun to go to with some friends. I went to 'Sherston Fest' (literally a field in the next town over) for the evening with some friends and I had such a great evening with some good music, good food, a few drinks and the sun shining.

Isn't is amazing how much a little bit of sun can improve your mood?!

Lots more posts to come I promise :)

Bits and Bobs

A few bits I have picked up this month...

 Make Up Bag - Primark £4

Ohhh Primark, you've done it again ey! This adorable polka-dot make up bag is my new favourite thing. Just big enough for all the nesessities and the alphabet letter (available in all letters if you can get your hands on yours!) gives it extra cute points. 

W7 Stippling Brush - roughly £3

Got this on my recent Fragrance Direct order as I have always applied foundation with my fingers. Since trying this I can't apply my base without it! It gives a flawless finish and at a bargain price what have you got to lose.
