Confessions of a shopaholic!

Like many people I do love a good ol' shopping trip, especially in the summer when there are so many cute outfits, as well as holiday planning to do.
I thought I would share some of my favourite items in the shops at the moment. 

(Excuse the wet hair and awkward mirror photo pose) 
Boohoo mini skirts
Liana Palm Print Mini Skirt ~ £6, Ariah Neon Crepe Mini Skirt~ £5, Dena Dogstooth Bodycon Mini Skirt~ £6 

As someone who virtually lives in high waited jeans I thought it was about time I invested in some skirts, and what better time to do it than during the summer....even if the British weather is a bit unpredictable. Although, I didn't pick the most colourful of skirts its a step in the right direction. The red, grey and black palm print skirt is definitely my favourite, and adds a pop of colour to any outfit.  I also bought a plain burgundy skirt in the same style to add another colour to my wardrobe! 

Daisy Embroidered Stripe Tee by Tee and Cake~ £22
I am a huge fan of Topshop's 'Tee and cake' range, consisting of many t-shirts with fun logos or text. I couldn't resist this stripey 'loves me, loves me not' cropped top which looks great paired with black high waisted jeans.  

Rimmel London Rita Ora nail varnish~ 498 'Rain Rain Go Away £3.99'
I've never been a one for bold nail colours so when I spotted this grey/lilac coloured nail varnish by Rimmel I quickly fell in love. This simple but pretty colour will bring elegance to any outfit, and in my eyes is perfect for all year round. It also goes amazingly with my topaz Pandora ring, which is always a bonus! 



Eat Pray Love 
 After purchasing the film adaptation of 'Eat, pray, love' a couple of years ago I have wanted to get my hands on a copy of the book, and although, I am only a few chapters in I am already loving it! As always, the book is even better than the film, and what better way to spend summer evening than with a great book and a nice cup of tea or a cocktail.


Primark Blue denim pinafore~ £12 
I have been looking for a denim pinafore for a while now after falling in love with my MOTO burgundy corduroy one from Topshop. Finally, after a quick browse in Primark I found one that fits my tall physique. This also goes really well with the stripy top from Topshop, and is perfect for days out or dressed up in the evening. This also goes great with an oversized shirt thrown over the top for those cooler evenings.


My final summer buy is the JBL Flip Three Bluetooth speaker. I previously owned the flip two but unfortunately it broke, probably due to my excessive use of it all day every day!
Although, these speakers are relatively compact the sound that they produce is of great quality and volume, which is perfect for me to use while studying, as well as other social uses. Their battery life is around five hours, which is pretty good for such a small device, and they charge up fairly quickly too. 

Thanks for reading, I hope you liked my mini summer haul!
