Today In Pictures - 31/05/2015

Tomorrow I am heading back to university for my exam on Wednesday. I'm kind of nervous but also really looking forward to seeing all of my friends again! 

So today was mostly just revision but while I was packing for tomorrow I also had a little bit of a sort out in my bedroom. When I come back I am going to have twice as much stuff and I have no idea where it is all going to go! Love how pretty all these pastel Essie nail polishes look on my shelves. 

I love it when you kind a new combination of clothes that you have never worn before! It's like a whole new outfit but without having to spend any money! Today I was wearing a white V-neck jumper with a thin denim shirt underneath. 

I love the details of the collar and the sleeves that shirts give under jumpers. I think that it looks preppy and smart but is also perfect for unpredictable weather. I paired these with my new black Zara jeans which are just so comfy and I can't stop wearing them. 

And finally I accessorised with my favourite gold necklace right now. I love this delicate flower detail and it goes perfectly with my gold watch. 

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Speak soon xx

Some New Things

Some New Things

I have been meaning to write this post for ages so I would hardly call most of this stuff that "new" anymore! But I have still been loving all of these things so I wanted to share them with you anyway.

For the last couple of months or so I have been trying to get back into running and fitness. Partly for the bikini body (not gonna lie!) but also I am just trying to lead a healthier lifestyle. And one think that I was desperate for was another sports bra. I already have a white one from Nike which is so supportive and comfy and I love it. So naturally I went straight back to Nike for my new one. But this time I went for a bright summery colour and I think this looks so cool showing though thin running tops. 

I also found this Voss water bottle in Tesco for £2. This is a glass water bottle and I've seen them a lot on WeHeartIt which is what made me buy it really! I don't take this running, not sure how practical a glass bottle really is! But I have this on my desk and try and drink two of these a day. 

How beautiful is this?! I have wanted one of these for ages as I think they are so cool, but they are also quite expensive so I didn't really want to buy one myself. So when I received this from my boyfriend Jack from our 2 year anniversary at the beginning of this month it was the best thing ever! Shows how well he knows me really! And in case you were wondering I got him a nice leather wallet, but honestly I was definitely spoilt!

I can't wait to take this on summer days out, long dog walks, day trips to London and picnics in the park. 

The last think I got recently was this beautiful white clutch from New Look. I needed this to go with my dress for a ball a few weeks back. I wanted something that I didn't want to have to spend too much money on but it didn't look cheap. So when I saw this for just over £10 I knew it was perfect. And I can fit all my random stuff and the polaroid camera in this!

Let me know in the comments if you have any of these things. I am loving them all so much so think of this as like a random favourites as well! Speak soon xx

Bridal Fashion Week 2015

Bridal Fashion Week 2015

So I'll admit it, I'm one of those girls that has been planning my dream wedding ever since I was old enough to know what a wedding was! I remember being a bridesmaid when I was about 8 and getting a wear a poofy blue dress with huge bow on the back and carrying around a little basket of roses, which funnily enough I kept for months after until they went brown and crispy and then started to smell! But I felt like a princess and loved every moment of it! 

As you can probably guess it is the dresses that are my favourite part of weddings. I think I might still have some drawings of my dream wedding dress that I did when I was younger! And even now (although I don't tell people!) I like to have a little browse online at wedding dresses, my favourite website being Vera Wang! A girl can dream! 

So when I was given the opportunity to work with Weddington Way to cover the absolutely gorgeous exclusive images from Bridal Fashion Week, I jumped at the chance to write about the different trends and styles. Beautiful fashion, weddings and current trends. Couldn't be more perfect!

Separates 

Crop tops are going to be huge this season, and bridal fashion is definitely no exception. To me this style is very fresh and new and almost challenging the very traditional wedding dresses. Lots of lace crop tops were seen keeping everything very pretty and feminine. And if you are showing some midriff at your wedding then it is best to cover up in other places (it is a wedding!) so long skirts, high necks and little sleeves. 

New Colour 

Who says a wedding dress has to be white? Another style that is really pushing the boundaries of bridal fashion this season. Colour palettes were usually kept to pastels but with beautiful shades of powder blues and peachy pinks. And some dresses, like the image in the middle even went as far as a subtle floral print. And with such a gorgeous and traditional style dress I think this really works, and is perfectly complimented by those matching pink flowers. 

Embellished

Embellishment is probably one of those trends that comes back every year in Bridal fashion. It's also one of my favourite trends as it is just so beautiful. This season think delicate beading and pretty sequins especially on the bodice and around necklines. 

Back Details

 A lot of beautiful detailed low back dresses were seen on the runway. So if you're not brave enough to show your midriff with a cropped top then you can still flash a bit of skin. There are so many different ways to wear this trend, with some embellishment or as seen in the stunning sheer dress with the buttons down the back.  

Texture

Wedding dresses this season wee far from boring. Mixing up up texture can change both the look and feel of a dress. This season saw lots of lace, tulle, ruffles and even some beautiful white feathers. For a wedding dress white lace would be a classic, feminine look, tulle is quite fresh and feathers are really pushing the boundaries of wedding fashion which I love. How beautiful is that dress in the top left corner? 

Sheer 

Sheer fabrics where seen everywhere are Fashion Week this year. Sheer dresses and skirts are possibly not so wedding appropriate but this huge trend has definitely filtered into bridal fashion. The nod to the trend is most commonly seen by sheer bodice panels and sleeves. And often combined with lace detail and embellishment it can give the optical illusion that it is floating on the skin. This has to be one of my favourite new trends. It's is so delicate and stunning but also fresh and something a little different for a wedding dress. 

Hope you liked reading my breakdown of all the different trends at Bridal Fashion Week this season. I'd love to hear in the comments below which you favourite trend was. And thank you to Weddington Way for some of these beautiful photos. And for more beautiful dress inspiration you can check out their lovely website here. Speak soon xx

Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates...

Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates...

And if my life is like a box of chocolates then I am hoping it would look a bit like this one! All the best things! 

Two posts in one day, I'm on a roll! And I took some outfit photos for a post that should be coming up in a couple of days. I've done so much blog stuff today, which would be great if I didn't actually have exams in less that a week. Priorities and all that! 

There is literally no point to this post other than to share with you these lovely photos of chocolate! They were a surprise gift from Jack's parents after I helped out at their family barbecue last weekend. I honestly don't feel like I helped out enough to deserve these though.

I'm not sure I have ever had anything from Hotel Chocolat, Thornton's is about as fancy as I get. And I'm sure Jack must have helped them picked as they are literally all my favourites, Milk Truffle, Strawberry Cheesecake, Dizzy Praline and Billionaire's Shortbread. Mum and I are going to watch a film tonight on Netflix and probably demolish the whole lot - there is two of each! And I'm not going to feel guilty as we are having salmon salad for dinner, so it all balances out! 

Gosh, they look so amazing!
Hope everyone has a lovely evening. Speak soon xx

Recent Pastel Picks

Recent Pastel Picks 

I mentioned on Thursday's post that I was going shopping with my mum on Friday before I went to my boyfriend's house for the long weekend. So I thought that I would share with you the pieces that I picked up. Lots of pretty pastel things for summer. 

I have been wanted a top like this for a while after seeing lots of pictures on Pinterest. It's quite a deep v-neck top in a beautiful floaty fabric. So when I saw this gorgeous cornflower blue top in Topshop I knew I had to have it. I can't wait to start wearing this with a delicate gold necklace, and hopefully a tan!

The second thing that I got was also from Topshop but they didn't have it in the store so I went home and ordered it online. Hence why this post is a little late. I've been using Pinterest a lot recently for fashion inspiration, so if you have Pinterest too you can go and check me out here. But on look that I have been loving is beautiful lace bralettes. I don't really wear them on their own but I think layered underneath vest tops or shirts they add lovely detail. I already have a black one with a lovely racer back detail but I really wanted a V-neck one with wider straps that I could wear with little vest tops and undone shirts and it would still be seen. 

I am just loving this beautiful blue colour for summer and I think this will look so pretty under the blue Topshop top. 

Finally I obviously had to pick up a few bits and pieces in Boots! I have wanted this eyeliner for ages but it always seemed to be sold out up until now. And since I have got this I have worn it nearly everyday. It's perfect for really opening and waking up my eyes and I can tell I will get a lot of use out of this. 

And finally I picked up another Essie nail polish! In case you were wondering yes, I do have about 3 other Essie nail polishes that look exactly like this. But this one was in the sale pot for £3 which was a bargain so I felt like it was all justified! It's just a beautiful pastel pink that looks really natural but unlike any others I own this has a very fine shimmer that catches in the light and looks so pretty. 

Hope you liked this short post of some new things. I have actually been doing so much shopping lately, new season and all that. So I have loads of new clothes that I want to share with you but I don't know whether it is best to put them all into huge haul post or to show you each item in seperate posts but styled into an outfit.

So please help me out by leaving a comment below letting me know if you would prefer to read a haul post or styled outfit posts. Speak soon xx

Fresh

Fresh 

Today after a long morning of revision I went to meet a friend for a coffee in town. I say coffee, but really I ordered one of those delicious iced chocolate drinks with cream and sprinkles on top! Today the weather has been so gorgeous and it finally feels like I can start wearing all of my summer clothes. 

If you read a few posts back then you may recognise these shoes which I did a whole post on when they first arrived. And if you want more details and better pictures of these new shoes that I am totally obsessed with you can read my post here. So today I thought I would put a summery outfit together with my my new shoes. And I hope you like it. 

As the shoes are quite bold I wanted to keep the rest of the outfit nice and simple. The skirt is one that I picked up last year from Forever 21. It's in a lovely stone colour and a really flattering shape which means it goes with so much in my wardrobe. The little bag that I am wearing is about 5 years old! I remember seeing it and thinking that it looked exactly like a Chanel one. It is a copy (probably not the best) but now I just wear it as it is white, pretty and practical if I don't need very much stuff. 

My denim shirt it another recent purchase (I'm so bad!). I'd wanted this for ages but very few Zara's seemed to have it is stock, so the last time that I saw it I grabbed it. It's quite a thick denim material so it feels really nice quality and I love the beautiful pale shade of denim. I also love the little poppers and my favourite way to wear this is with a couple undone and then rolled-up sleeves. 

Denim Shirt - Zara 

Skirt - Forever 21
Handbag - Dorothy Perkins
Shoes - Warehouse 
Sunglasses - Forever 21
Necklace - Accessorize
Watch - Nixon
Bracelets - Pandora and Accessorize
