So, on my right hand I did a beach scene and on my left I did all the good things that come along with the beach.. Mainly food ;)

All Star

Top: New Look | Skirt: Topshop | Shoes: Office Sale | Necklace: Topshop Sale | Nails: Models Own 'Beach Party' & 'Bubblegum' | Lips: Mac 'Creme Cup'

I never expected I would like this t-shirt so much! I bought it for when I went camping, thinking it wouldn't matter if it got ruined. It only cost me £4 as New Look had 20% off when I got it, but I wish I'd gone for the other deal which was buy 2 for £6! It's a lovely airy, blue marl which adds a bit of texture to your outfit and adds a bit more to your basic t-shirt.

I also underestimated how much I'd enjoy my new Converse too! I've wanted a pair for ages but wasn't sure if I'd get that much wear out of them, I then spied this pair on the Office website in the sale for £25, with free delivery and I just couldn't resist! Reduced from £42 as well! Bargaaaain.

I'll always remember that stir Lily Allen caused when sure wore trainers with a dress, so I was a bit sceptical about the Converse and the skirt but I think I worked it! (Hopefully anyway!)

eBay vs Topshop #10 & River Island Sale Picks

Hey guys!
If you're wondering where the usual Topshop vs eBay post is, you can find it right here on Liya's blog! Liya asked me if I'd like to do a guest post and I didn't see why not - especially as I've not done one before! Here's a little peak if you're interested :)

See more here!

To make this a more substantial post I thought I'd add some more bargains I've been looking at. The River Island sale started this morning (I didn't go - to avoid spending money!) but I've browsed several times! These are my top picks..

Dress 1 | Dress 2 | Flag Shorts | Spot Shorts | Ice Cream Shorts | Make up Bag | Headband | Top | Arm Cuff | Sunglasses | Sandals

Did you get anything from the River Island sale?

June Favourites

LINKS: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
I've just ordered this top (which I've wanted for a while) so I scooped it up in the sale for £7! Of course, this open shouldered top has now led to me wanting more!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
I've never been a huge fan of floral headbands before but suddenly I really want one and in turn it's made me want to go to a festival! I'm going on the hunt for one when I next go to Primark.

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
I think a pair of these shoes are going to be my shoes of choice for the upcoming A/W, move over studs, it's all about the spikes for me now!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
I'm still clinging onto that small hope that we will eventually get a Summer. Apparently it's been the wettest June on record (1910 records began!) So, if I spy a bit of sunshine I'm going to try out my mint shorts with a hint of pink.

1 | 2 | 3 | 4
This month I rediscovered just how amazing neon nail polishes actually are. I've always loved 'Bubblegum' by Models Own (as seen here) but I decided to branch out and try Beach Party also by Models Own which is equally fantastic, next on my hit list is a neon green!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
These shoes completely BAFFLE me! How do you not just topple backwards?! I'm desperate to try a pair on, they're really weird yet so cool. 

1 | 2 | 3
Bralets have been around floating around for a while now - I got one a few years ago when the 'underwear as outerwear' was around except I've always felt it's just too bra-like to wear out. I love the huge selection I've seen of bralets this year!

I hope June treated you well, despite the weather it was a pretty good month I thought :)
