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!

~ and there's glitter on the floor.

First off, can we all be sweeties and ignore my frightfully orange right arm.. :( I'm ashamed, but my fake tan ran out, so I nabbed a bit of my mum's from her bedroom, forgot to read that it's for medium skin, I am obviously the palest of pales. So these were taken this morning, I've exfoliated until my arms are bright red, but it's gone now! And I've bought a new one with a difuser and for light skin tones, cost £15 but if it does the job, maybe I'll do a review in a few days!
I LOVE THIS JACKET! I saw it a while ago, but alas there were only size 10s available, and I really needed the 8, and now it's in the sale for only £25! Down from £42, and I love it, so money well spent! The top is a new uniform piece for work, I'm sure I'll do the full uniform outfit post soon! I love it, it's oversized and a little lower cut at the back which is a nice change to normal tee's, and as it's sparkly it's easy to dress up or down, and I always look for that quality in t-shirts/tops.
I'm still doing alright without my parents, surprisingly.. And I've finally got my housing confirmed for LCM in September! I've confirmed my room and the deposit is payed! I'm getting so excited for it now, finally after all the waiting!
