Fashion/Beauty Summer Essentials!

It's officially Summer here in the UK. Can you believe it? The sun is beaming, the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming. Because of this unexpected heat, there have had to be some obvious changes to the wardrobe - shorts, bikinis etc. But I'm not going to talk about the obvious essentials (sunglasses excused), only the small details that are essential to my outfits and how I get the ideas.

The Magazine - This is Elle magazine peeping through all of the accessories and polishes there! This is probably my favourite magazine as it incorporates High Fashion with High Street so there's always something for someone. Their High Street Edit shows that you can use more affordable clothes and turn it into an incredibly fashionable outfit!

The Sunglasses - I really love these sunglasses. Simple, black, quite chic and cool at the same time. They were from Urban Outfitters and were £16. The quality is really good so I don't need to worry about them breaking anytime soon! And of course, they're sunglasses so definitely an essential for Summer!

The Flower Crown - The 70's Hippy trend is back and the flowers on the High Street are looking better than ever, I must say! I have my eye on one in River Island, but haven't had the time to go and buy it so I can only show you if you click here (I know they're a child's accessory but I have quite a small head and I really love the flowers on it:P). Nonetheless, I do have a flower crown for Primark which was £2 I think - such a bargain! It's really pretty and you can mold it slightly to fit your head. The colour's are lovely and will go with  lots of outfits!

The Nail Polish - This is probably my favourite nail polish for Summer this year. It's the Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish in 501 Fancy A Dip? - The colour of this is so beautiful, the perfect cornflower blue mixed with a tiny bit of lilac. The finish is really amazing considering this is only £2.99! It gives a nice shine to the nails when painted and I think this will work with many different skin tones!

That concludes my Summer Essentials post. I hope you had a wonderful weekend with the sunshine!

The Shoes of Summer's Dreams!

I find it hard to express my feelings and emotions about these beauties. They aren't everyone's cup of tea I'm sure. But personally, they are definitely my cup of tea!

I originally wanted a pair of jelly shoes because they're very sweet and would go with everything. However, as I neared the shoe section in River Island, I caught sight of these. I tried them on and instantly fell for them but since it was the first shop I went to on my shopping trip, I made the classic decision - check in other shops to see if you like anything better. Well, nothing compared to these. I honestly couldn't stop thinking about them, this meant I had to get them!

These shoes seem to combine so many things, a mixture of trends and my style. The block heel, cut-out sandal style are the two main trends. Because of my skinny ankles, I was afraid of wearing a big, black, chunky shoe as I thought it would be too much on me. So when I saw this lovely, blush-pink colour with a white heel it was my ideal shoe!

I love how versatile these shoes are, you can wear them with everything because of its neutral colour,on-trend style and day-to-night elegance. They were £35 which I was pleased about because they're lovely quality and I know I'll get so much wear out of them!

If they aren't your cup of tea, I highly recommend River Island for Summer shoes anyway!

Hope you had a lovely weekend in the sun!
