Chic Backgrounds

Chic Backgrounds

A few weeks ago now I had an unfortunate incident with my phone in my back pocket and a trip to the toilet...you can probably guess how that ended. And after over a week without a mobile (not something I would wish on anyone!) I finally got a new iPhone. Well, it's actually exactly the same as my old phone, it just works.

So while my beautiful phone case is still the same as before (thankfully that did survive) I have been enjoying changing up my backgrounds and screensaver images. I tend to go for something light and fresh, especially for Spring, and pretty minimal. My current lockscreen which say CHIC HAPPENS is my favourite. It's cute and pretty and totally matches my blog.

And speaking of matching I have also matched my phone and laptop backgrounds to this beautiful palm print. I love how this looks on both!

I have been finding all these beautiful backgrounds on the incredible world that it Pinterest. Just when I thought that website couldn't actually get any better or more addictive. Just search background and whatever style you are looking for to find some beautiful, free images. I've started to make a board of my personal favourites which you can check out here. Hope you enjoy! xx

September Sunshine

September Sunshine 

I think today was quite possibly the last day of Summer. Although it really was a beautiful day, blue sky, a warm breeze and the perfect beach day. 

Mum and I spent the day in Camber, the morning on the beach and the afternoon wondering around the little town of Rye. And even though it is September it was definitely bikini weather! It felt so good to have my toes in the sand and the sun on my skin again, like I was back on holiday. The last few days have felt so Autumnal and I am ashamed to say but it got me starting to think about Christmas already! I think today was like the final goodbye to Summer. 

I love wondering around little towns and taking beautiful pictures, especially in the sunshine. We sat outside in a little cafe for a bit and I ordered a chocolate milkshake which I downed in about a minute! 

White buildings and beautiful flowers is my idea of perfect. 

I thought I would also show you what I was wearing today as I really like this simple outfit and I have never worn this top before. It was given to me by a family friend who was having a huge wardrobe clear out about a year ago. It's a French Connection blouse so I kept it not really thinking too much of it. But it is a beautiful floaty fabric and really simple and pretty. I love how feminine I felt when wearing this too. And as it gets colder I also think this would look lovely under gilets and coats. 

For jewellery I wore my rose gold watch and this new teeny tiny elephant necklace from Topshop which I am obsessed with. I also chose a lipstick that I haven't reached for in a while and I had forgotten how much I loved it. It is a MaXfacor lipstick in the shade Pink Brandy and its a lovely fresh orangey red coral shade (poor description I know!). But it looks lovely paired with the white blouse ad simple gold jewellery.

Hope you liked this post and that you got a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather today. Speak soon xx

New Phone Cases

New Phone Cases

I've needed a new phone case for a very long time now. When I first got my iPhone about 18 months ago my dad forced me to buy on of those chunky flip leather cases. Honestly as a phone case it has done a great job of protecting phone phone. I just have a massive issue with trying to take pictures with the flip case. I spotted these two on a lovely website called notonthehighstreet.com.

The first one I spotted is this really cute star case. I have a little bit of an obsession with stars anyway and I just love the colours of this case. The actual case has a white frame and the star print is a big sticker on the back of the case. I was actually a little disappointing that it was just a sticker when this arrived. I just really hope this doesn't mean it won't last very long as I really do love this case.

The second case I ordered is probably my favourite as it is a little bit more unique. This case was a little bit more expensive than the first but the print is on the actual case which I definitely prefer. I am so in love with this print and the colours are just my favourite. I am so happy with both of these phone cases and for the first time ever I have a choice which is amazing.

If you haven't checked out notonthehighstreet.com I would really recommend it. They sell really lovely unique gifts. Hope you have enjoyed this short and sweet post! xx
