a boho thing

crop top: miss selfridge, culottes: H&M

I hope this gorgeous weather is treating everyone as nicely as it's treating me! And because of the glorious sunshine the lovely summer clothes can make their long awaited appearance.

 I went major holiday shopping this past Friday with my boyfriend (2 weeks today and we head out to Gran Canaria for 10 days, yay!) and picked up way over £100 worth of stuff, and these 2 pieces were part of that lot. I've wanted these types of crop tops for ages, to wear in the summer and also to wear as part of an evening ensemble, so I bought the black and the white so they can go with a wide variety of outfits. These are available in different stores such as Topshop/River Island, I would honestly recommend the Miss Selfridge range they are more substantial in their material, in the other stores I tried on the white crop top and it would be very see through, but the Miss Selfridge one is substantial enough not to be like that.

Now these culottes, they are the comfiest things I've worn! To be quite honest, I wouldn't described these as something I would wear, I don't own any other bottoms like these, but I figured for summer I would need some lightweight longish trousers for the days when I just don't fancy shorts (which is a lot!) and these fit that brief perfectly, and at only £14.99, I couldn't say no!

Lots of love!

~ back to what I was before.

I've loved this top since I bought it about a week ago, but I literally couldn't find anything to wear with it, to really show off it's cool and unique shape. I've had this little skirt for like so many years now, and I tend to neglect it and it never really sees the light of day much, but I was having a tidy and re-discovered the beauty! Then it clicked that they would be a very cute pairing! And I think it looks really cute together, so there we go, a new outfit made of new and old, love it! The nails don't really go with the outfit but, haha, they go with my work uniform! Model's Own in Pastel Pink with a Wah Nails for Model's Own pink nail pen to do the leopard art. Something a little different, and it looks really cute against my work outfit as the nail art pen is slightly fluorescent, so it really makes them pop! It's only a week tomorrow until my birthday!! You guys have no idea how excited I am getting, it's finally so close! Also, congrats to everyone who got their GCSE results, hope you got what you wanted!

~ do you think of her.

Ahh, this is my wonderful work uniform! Yes, I get to wear this gorgeous outfit to work! It's by far the cutest outfit I've ever gotten for uniform, we've got such adorable pieces in at the moment, I was truly spoiled for choice, I loved these shorts from the minute they came in, and then a week later this top arrived and it was the perfect pairing, and my outfits featuring on one of the mannequins so it's selling really well!

Finally had the time to sit down with YouTube and teach myself how to do the fishtail braid! This is only the second time I've done it to a standard I consider acceptable enough to show the outside world, but I love it now! It's something that is absolutely perfect when you're having a bad hair day and don't want to just shove your hair up in a pony or a bun. It's something you'll need patience to master, it's quite fiddly to be honest, and I got pretty angry with myself a lot of the time when I'd mess it up, haha! So be patient if you want to master this cute and different way to spice up your hair! (How lame did that sound! Oh dear.)

Oh have we all been enjoying the mini heatwave? I certainly have, and have been living in this outfit! It's quite a thin and loose shirt so it's so comfortable in the hot weather, and the shorts I've had for YEARS and I can't believe they fit me haha! I've literally had them since I was 13.

I finally had time to give myself a proper manicure last night, nice new set of nails and a good set of nail art, two tone pink spots under the leopard print, my work uniform shorts are pink so I've really only done it to match them as I'm working so much, haha! 

My birthday is finally approaching, officially counting down now, only 3 weeks! Finally going to be 18, and then in another 2 weeks I will be moving to London! What an incredible month I have ahead of me, I am getting so excited now!
