What Happened In June

As June soon draws to a close I realised that it's been quite a busy month! I anticipate July will be even busier though! I don't usually do these Instagrammy posts as I'm boring and always forgot to take pics but I've got quite a bit to share so I thought you might like to see :)

Breakfast at Gatwick | Duty Free! | Guernsey beach

And again | Jubilee 21 Gun Salute | Candles

Little Chapel | Inside | Made entirely from bits of pottery!

Hope you enjoyed this post, I nearly gave up after Photobucket just refused to upload my pictures properly! (A couple are still dodgy) I ended up making a new account!

Wish list #21

The day I post this wishlist is the day I also decide it's time for a short spending ban. Doesn't really bode well does it? I'm going to London three times in July which only means one thing, spending!

I'm so tempted to buy that shirt, but £36 is so much for such a basic shirt! I'm already planning my A/W wardrobe though and that shirt is part of it, still don't know if that justify's it though..

I saw the bunny print skirt in the 'last chance to buy' (in a 14) section in Topshop the other day, I'd not seen it in the flesh before so had no idea just how cute it was! Looks like it's sold out everywhere now!

I'm currently falling in love with orange nail polishes, I have Barry M's Coral on my toes and Peach Melba on my fingers - I think it's time to add a neon into my collection!

Hope you had a good weekend!

Parrots

I wore this on Wednesday when we had a little day of sunshine, although I ended up whipping on a pair of shorts for a spot of sunbathing on my trampoline (who needs a sun lounger?!) I underestimated how warm it actually was as I had tan lines in under 20 minutes! I now have a rather fetching band across my stomach accompanied by a pair of white shorts!

I picked up this top in Primark not so long ago for just £4! I really love these mirrored prints which seem to be around at the moment, they remind me of the outfit photos some bloggers do. They had lots of other versions of it too if parrots aren't your thing! I think I'm going to dress it up and wear it out tomorrow night - I'll try and do an outfit post.

Also wearing my H&M riding pant dupes after waiting weeks for them to arrive. I somehow managed to split the crotch - oh how delightful - I actually despair when comes to H&M.

It's quite subtle but I dip dyed my hair red! I had some dye sitting around so I figured I might as well use it. I wanted to ombre my hair about a year and a half a go but I wasn't keen on bleaching my hair and then before I knew it everyone and their mum had done it! I've had quite a few compliments on it, and people have asked if I've had it done at the hairdressers! :o

Enjoy your weekend!

eBay vs American Apparel

Thought I'd switch it up a bit this week! When things become predictable they tend to get boring; don't worry though the usual Topshop version will be back next week :) American Apparel is my target this week, even more overpriced and much more basic although I hear the quality is much better...
