Primark Haul

This primark haul has to be one of my favourite yet! As the high street is gearing up for A/W 14, it's a great time to have a sneak peak at what's on trend next season. I know none of us want to say goodbye to Summer, but you never know with British weather and it's best to be wardrobe ready! When it comes to A/W 14, I'm a huge fan of layering! Not only does it look great but it's also a great way to make you stay warm without a coat covering everything up! Primark has some gorgeous waterfall cardigans in, and the green jumper with the shirt collar detail I just love! The coat was love at first sight, it came in beige and navy, but I just found the beige was more practical for next season! It fits really well and it was such a bargain!
I can't get over how amazing Primark accessories and shoes have been both S/S 14 and moving into A/W14! I managed to find myself a pair of the much sought after snakeskin sliders!
Something I've really gotten into is using Primark false nails, both in the french and natural style and then painting them. They do stay on really well and look really good, so i'll definitely be carrying on!

Marble

I'm loving patterns and prints this summer! It's the perfect way to add texture and colour into your look. I love the colours in this marble print silk dress from ASOS and it's a great addition to my wardrobe, as it can be worn all year round! I like the low neckline of the dress, you can add a cami underneath during the day as a more casual look, or glam it up with accessories and stilettos in the evening. It was an amazing find in the ASOS Sale, when I first saw it it was out of stock, but I find if you keep checking back occasionally things do come back in, and I was lucky with this dress! I'm going on holiday soon and I can't wait to style this out!

Fedora hats are all the craze this summer, and this will continue into Autumn/Winter 14. I added to my collection with this lilac round fedora hat from the ASOS Sale. If you haven't invested in one yet, this is definitely your chance!

Peaches & Cream

My post today is centred around the classic and simple summer style. One thing I've always loved is the wide-leg trouser, they're really flattering and can be worn dressed down in the day with a simple cami, or more glammed up in the evening. I'm loving the pastel colours around at the moment, teamed with cream and lace for texture, it just looks simple and effortless. I think this top has gone into the sale, but I can't find it online, so it's definitely worth checking out in store. The Zara sale is great for a shirt/blouse to go with these trousers so it's a great place to start. Shop here

These shoes are another amazing find from Matalan. I've been looking for some beige shoe boots for a while and I didn't have much luck with the sales. But Matalan came out on top again and these were only £20. Again they're not online but I picked these up in store so it's definitely worth a look. 

I've done my nails using Primark Nail Polish which costs only £1 (full review is on my beauty page)! I've then added some french tips using Barry M gold polish for something a bit different. 

Trousers - HM £24.99 (Buy them here)

I Do

Wedding season is once again in full swing and it's that time of year where you search around looking for that perfect guest outfit worthy of best dressed. But it can be a difficult decision: to hat or not to hat?

The high street once again has excelled itself. From gorgeous cocktail dresses in the typical spring/summer theme - pastels and florals - to elegant LBDs and jumpsuits you'll want to wear again and again. 

The jumpsuit I'm wearing is from Zara who have an amazing summer sale on, so if you have a wedding coming up I would definitely recommend checking out Zara. It has a slight creased effect to the material, which I couldn't work out whether it was intentional or not, but I decided not to iron it and go with it!

When putting my outfit together I centred it all around the colour, picking out the grey tones in my accessories. Statement necklaces are everywhere at the moment. I've bought quite a few pieces of statement jewellery from Matalan over the summer, they have some really beautiful pieces and it's a bargain! I loved the silk band , which added something a bit different and went so well with the jumpsuit.  I used my marble effect technique for my nails, again using the grey polish then marbelled with white (check out how to do this on my BEAUTY page), and completing my accessories with some chunky rings from Primark and a jewelled stone clutch bag. 

Jumpsuit -Zara 
Shoes - River Island 
Necklace - Matalan

For my make-up I kept it quite simple with smokey eyes and a nude lip. 

For my hair I just put in rollers while getting ready to give it some volume.
