pretty in pink...

Hello!
As I've got so much to catch up on, so I thought I'd do a double post today! If you read my earlier post, you'll know I've been jetting off across Europe over the last few weeks, so my blogging patterns have been very slow! But that's enough of my rambling..

Recently, I was kindly invited to join the OASAP bloggers community. After finding out about OASAP - which sells quality high street fashion - from a fellow blogger, I fell in love with the stores style. In today's outfit post, I'll be talking you through the gorgeous denim jacket, that was sent from the lovely people at OASAP and hopefully convincing you to head over to check out the website for yourself! 




Because it was such a lovely day, I chose to wear this pink pinafore from New Look, that was only £8.00 in the sale. Pinafores are really popular at the moment, especially denim ones, but this cotton one is great, as it doesn't restrict you. It's a great wardrobe piece for summer, as you can dress it up/down easily. 

I've worn it with a white over sized tee from H&M, which is also a great item to have tucked in your wardrobe. My sandals were a steal from the Clarks sale (my recent weakness for top quality shoes) and I'm sure you'll see LOTS more of them in the future..



The denim jacket from OASAP was $43 and I was so excited to be buying something from overseas! I felt very American wearing my jacket (weird I know..). Its a great quality jacket, which fastens with buttons up the front, and rolled sleeves - making it more suitable for summer nights! You can wear it with pretty much everything, so it's a great cover up in evenings, if you're trying to squeeze everything into your suitcase!

The colour is washed and has a slightly worn style, and it fits lovely. I was really impressed with the OASAP website service, as I don't usually buy items from abroad, but it was worthwhile, as P&P was free and it took less than 10 days to arrive! You can get the jacket here: at OASAP.com.


What I'm wearing: Top - H&M, Pinafore Dress - New Look, Sandals - Clarks, Jacket - OASAP, Head Band - Primark. 

Well that's all from me! I hope you're all soaking up lots of sun (and not getting burnt.). As you can see, I'm always an 'bilk bottle' as my dad puts it, so I'll be reviewing lots of fake tan in the next few weeks!

Lots of Love,

Spring Wish List.. Well a girl can dream, right?

Thank God It's the weekend - that's all I can say!
 I got my AS results on Thursday, along with most of the UK. When they told me that A-Levels would be hard, back in September, they definitely weren't joking! It's the moto 'bring on re-sits for me'...

Rather than scaring you away with my moaning, I thought I'd do a little post with all the items I'd love to wear this Spring - just a shame I don't have the loose change to purchase just yet! (p.s. all donations accepted - and no A levels required...).


1.  Moto Teal Cord Pini Dress - Top Shop £42. I love pinafore dresses, especially in spring and it's about time I updated my wardrobe denim's. I'd wear this with a white shirt, some ankle trimmed socks and some creepers.
2. 'Whole lotta Rosie Headband -Baby Blue' - Crown and Glory £20. I've wanted one of these headbands from Crown and Glory for ages, so it's about time I took the plunge, as it'll look lovely with a patterned dress  and sandals.

3. Collar Detail Dress by Wal G - Top Shop £33. Pastel colours are great during spring, and as my love of Top Shop dresses broadens, I'd love this in my collection, paired with cardigan and some brogues.

4.Red Textured Turtle Neck Crop Top - River Island £16. Every wardrobe requires something bright this season, whether it's neon (or not in my case), this red crop top is the perfect alternative. I'd love to go crazy and wear them with some patterned trousers, with your favourite canvas shoes.

5. Printed trousers - H&M £12.99. These printed trousers caught my eye when I was flicking through my H&M catalogue, and well these are at the top of my list for when I finally get a chance to go shopping! Printed trousers are a must have - dress them up with a shirt and heels for work and dress down with pumps and a block coloured cardigan.

6. Shelly Black Current Skirt - Vintage Style Me £15. Vintage Style Me, is a little online vintage store, which sells beautifully made designs. I fell in love with this circled skirt, for the spring/summer days. Wear with a pale shirt, frilly socks and brogues.

I'm hoping to get my act together and get an outfit post up later today, so watch out!
Anything you've got on your wish lists for this spring?

Enjoy your weekends!

Lots of Love,
