The Cutest Summer Bag

The Cutest Summer Bag

I like to think of this purchase as an upgrade to a very similar handbag that I used almost everyday last Summer. The previous one was from Primark in an almost identical shade but more of a satchel style. For £6 it was a total bargain, but sadly by the end of the Summer the thread was unravelling and there were some black scuff marks that weren't going to come off.

I think I spotted this one on the Mango website (my favourite store right now) quite a while ago. And this colour that I wanted must have been out of stock at the time because I clicked remind me when back in stock and then forgot about it. So when I got a surprise email from Mango to let me know the bag was available it was love at first sight all over again! And this time I did manage to get it!

I think this has to be the smallest bag that I own, hence the cutest. But despite it being so tiny I can still fit everything I need in here. And it is actually quite refreshing knowing I am only carrying around the bare essentials and not half my bedroom like I usually do! I love the silver hardware and the lovely chain strap but it is honestly the colour of the bag that had me sold. The bag is described as pastel blue, but it looks a little grey as well. The colour is really unique yet will still go with nearly everything in my wardrobe. I also feel like it adds a little bit of colour rather than a black or white handbag, but that is just because I only really wear neutrals!

The lock mechanism has to be opened at the bottom and then the flap pops outs. Its a little more complicated than a regular popper and sometimes a bit of a struggle if you only have one hand, but it feels sturdy and looks pretty.

I am so in love with this beautiful bag right now and can't wait to start using it even more as the weather gets warmer. It's so chic and simple and I feel the design, details and colour make it look much more luxurious.

Minimal

Minimal

I'm getting more and more into this minimal style that I seem to be seeing a lot of at the moment. Neutral colours, clean lines and nothing too fussy make this style simple, effortless and oh so chic. 

A recent minimal addition to my wardrobe has been this white slogan t-shirt from Mango. It says "MAKE IT HAPPEN" in block capitals, which I love as it my new "motivational" tee! It's so simple and cute, especially with my H&M bar gold necklace and gold watch. 

I love wearing this top with a pair of black skinny jeans, my black heeled boots and a grey cardigan. For going outside though I also wore my ASOS coat and a big grey wool scarf. I also curled my hair into loose waves this day and I'm wearing my new favourite lipstick. It has beautiful brown undertones which I really think makes brown eyes pop! 

Top - Mango 

Jeans - Zara 

Cardigan - Primark

Coat - ASOS

Necklace - H&M

Watch - Nixon

Bracelet - Pandora 

For the last few days I have been in either pjs or lounge pants, sitting at my laptop trying to get all my coursework done for the end of term. I actually wore this outfit last weekend when my boyfriend Jack came to stay and we went ice skating, out for cocktails and dinner and then to a Kodaline concert. Kodaline is probably my favourite band and they were so incredible. Especially singing my favourite song Love Like This!

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I feel like sadly I have had to say this a lot lately. I have a lot of coursework and deadlines for university at the moment. I love my blog and writing posts for you guys but right now work has to take priority.

Little Green Dress

Little Green Dress 

I'm a neutrals girl through and through. But when it gets to this time of year even I can't resits the beautiful jewel tones that start coming into shops. For years berry has always been my favourite but I have also really been loving this emerald green shade. 

This gorgeous green dress is from Mango which is quickly becoming one of my favourite stores. I love everything about this dress from the pretty V-neckline to the flattering 3/4 sleeves and the quality of the fabric. I also think this dress would be really versatile and could be worn for day and night. 

During the day I would pair it with some cable knitted tight and my brown leather boots for a preppy style. I also think this would look great with my fur gilet or a little wool coat when it gets even colder. 

In the evening I could wear this with some pretty black heels, delicate jewellery and a loose low bun for effortless glamour. And the fact that this is a shift dress means that I won't have to worry about how much I eat at dinner! 

Hope you like this little dress from Mango. They have so my beautiful things in store at the moment it is almost dangerous for me to go and have a browse! Speak soon xx

Little White Dress

Little White Dress

 

 

For our second to last evening in Kefalonia we went out to a lovely hotel for some cocktails in the outdoor bar over looking the sea. Granted I was the only one who actually ordered a cocktail, but it was the perfect excuse to wear my new dress! 

 

 

I bought the dress online a few weeks ago from the Mango sale. It is a beautiful white lace dress, and very me. I actually ordered it hoping that it would arrive in time for my holiday to Spain but as luck would have it the parcel was dropped off probably around the same time my flight was taking off! 

 

The dress is in a shift dress style which isn't something I usually wear. But I love how this looks, it's so comfy and I can eat as much as I want for dinner and it won't show! The lining is also slightly shorter so the lace overlay shows at the hemline which is so pretty. 

 

 

I think this dress is really versatile and could be worn with sandals during the day or heels for a dressier look. I decided to go for a more bohemian look which is my favourite style for holiday. I threw on loads of my favourite jewellery, including my turtle and shell necklace, hamsa long necklace, elephant ring and gold watch. And paired with my pink nail polish, Essie's cute as a button, I love how this works together. 

 

Posing with my Polaroids!

Once again I have to apologise for the lack of posts over the last few days. I think my camera issues have finally been solved!
Tomorrow is our last day here, aka my last day to work on my holiday tan! I'm so sad to be leaving as it is so beautiful here. But I also can't wait to be back in my bedroom and to see my friends and boyfriend again. 

 

Hope you liked my Little White Dress post. It is one of my favourite clothing items right now and I am desperate to wear it again, although I think when I get back home the likelihood that it will be weather appropriate is very slim!
