Camping & Majorca Prep!

I can't belieeeve it's September.
Anyone else feel like the year has been stolen away from them?!

I suppose I'm a lucky one, I'm going on a last min holiday to Majorca, 'Mallorca Rocks' on Saturday with my friend Caroline for a week. Super excited as we booked it last minute through Teletext!

I had a lovely mini holiday with my dad and some friends in The New Forest a few weeks back, here's my first day camping outfit, looking a little tidier than when we left! It's beautiful there and only about a half hour drive from Southampton.

I have bought a few little bits lately on my discount as I've been saving, including this gorgeous short black kimono from New Look with my discount. It looks really cool dressed with jeans or shorts as so in the day, but I am looking forward to wearing it in the evenings on holiday too. As well as customers noticing, I have also seen an exact same version in Topshop for around twice the price! Grab it while you can...



90's Glitter Vest  Primark £9
Shorts -  DIY- Old cut shorts rolled at bottom, & shredded pockets myself
Fish Bone Necklace Zara Sale £8.99
I Phone Cat Case £4.99 New Look



I am also getting really excited for my last Freshers after I'm back from my internship at the end of September, as I'll be able to go to all the best nights now seen as I've been saving a little! And get to see all my lovely friends again that have been home far away for summer. I can see a terrible little shopping spree coming when our loans come in :S



For those that haven't already,check out Fashion Union.

I just bought this amazing Tartan bodycon midi skirt for a bargain £8! I have seen one just like it in Topshop for £22! And at the moment they are offering free standard delivery in September on order over £10. I am hoping this arrives before I leave for my holiday on Saturday! As you may have noticed.. I am already obsessing over Tartan. 



If you sign up to their newsletter you also get a further 10% off! Can't argue with that...

 I have also bought these skinny jeans, I love the wash and fit and think they'll be super comfy at work in the coming Autumn months. I am not a big jean lover but am determined to start being..surviving in tights may not work much longer now the winters drop so much!




I have for ages been searching for an affordable tote, big enough to hold all my tons of bag rubbish, that is plain enough to match all outfits. And I finally found it! In Zara, for £19.99! They are selling fast so get yours quick if you love it like I do!









 I've been really struggling to find bikinis
as retailers are so set on getting in their Autumn and Winter wear so early! I don't blame them, but it makes it harder for us who still have late holidays. I scouted around, and managed to bag this cool high waisted black bikini from New Look, and also scouted ASOS and found this gorgeous Red bikini. I do find it trickier having a bigger 'chest' finding pretty bikinis, they tend to be very boring without pattern! There is definitely a bit of a gap in the market for affordable fashionable bikinis for girls with bigger boobies!








Here's a cute kiwi that might make your day a little brighter!

Checks and Stripes Mish Mash

I am super excited about all these tartans and checks coming back in, and clashing colour ways makes it even more exciting! And also very excited about all the bold animal prints returning (with in mind not overdoing it...)


In Brighton a month or two back, I picked up this Red Tartan oversized shirt from a street vintage shop for a bargain £5, and cannot wait to wear it! (The problem being it is still too hot to!)


So for now I am thinking I might just settle with these lovely cute little Tartan socks (£1.99 New Look) under my new grungy cut out boots from work too! £59.99. 



This is an outfit from work the other day, I love this little check monochrome skirt - £10 in the New Look sale. I decided to make it more casual by wearing this boxy green boyfriend crop top from River Island, £10. I don't think Monochrome has seen its last days just yet!




And here's some stripes too!

Zebra Print Blouse -  £12.99 H&M
Shell Necklace  - £7 Accessorize
Stud Tote Bag - £17.99 New Look
Sunglasses - £3.99 New Look
