Mini Lookbook: Summer Trends

So this week's "Summer Blogger Challenge" topic is 'Summer Trends'. There's still time to get involved if you like! Just contact Amy (her email address is amsiegramham@gmail.com) as she's running the challenge and emails the topic to everyone each week. This week I decided to do a mini lookbook on a few outfits that I really like wearing this Summer. I'm loving floral print, crops tops and maxi dresses so I've put together three outfits to show you all! Bearing in mind that I've tried to avoid taking pictures in my garden, as it's such a mess! So I've had to do a lot of cropping and positioning. Plus, my head's cut out on a lot of them (yeah, sorry about that - I know it looks a bit creepy haha!)

Dress: Boohoo

Shoes: Primark

I love this dress (even though it's hard to walk in as it's so tight at the bottom - I waddle like a penguin!) But I love the way it falls all the way to the floor; I'd probably wear this if I was going for a meal in the evening (especially with these shoes!) But if I was to wear it during the day, I'd team it with a denim jacket and a nice pair of sandals.

Top: H&M

Skirt: H&M

Shoes: Oasis

I'm really loving this skirt at the minute! I love wearing crop tops with it, as it's high-waisted so doesn't show too much of your midriff. I'm loving floral print and I decided to wear this outfit with these flower flip flops as they're really girly and I love the detail (you may have seen them in one of my wish lists - I ended up getting them!) Again, this skirt is tight (like most denim skirts) but you're not completely restricted as you can undo the zip a little at the bottom, so you don't have to stick to baby steps if you're on a walk!

Playsuit: Next

Shoes: New Look

I've had this playsuit a while, but I still wear it as playsuits are still on trend at the minute. Again, I love floral print and I love the fact it's really loose and comfy - the top part is elasticated (so it stays up!) I teamed it with these black plimsoll shoes as they're great to just slip on - plus they're comfy if you're planning on going for a walk!

I hope you enjoyed my first ever lookbook!

I really enjoyed doing this post (just a shame about the horrendous background haha!)

I'd love to see your "Summer Blogger Challenge" this week; leave a link below!

Spring Haul: Boohoo And Primark

I recently ordered some dresses off Boohoo as I loved the look of them and I knew they would be perfect for Spring and Summer. I'm going to be sending a couple of dresses back, but I decided to keep this one as it fits perfectly and I love the elegance of it. This is the Sandy Maxi Dress in the colour 'Charcoal' which is a dark, grey colour. It's quite thin and very figure hugging, which I love. It also touches the floor (depending on your height) and it's tight at the bottom (so you may need to lift it up to walk!) Overall, I love this dress and it'll be lovely to wear during the day with some gorgeous jewellery and sandals, or on the night with some classic wedges and a bright clutch bag. It retails at £10.00.

I went into Primark yesterday and I bought a few bits and bobs that'll go nicely with some of my outfits. I picked up a lovely pastel coloured scarf with a pink floral pattern for £4.00 - I told you I'd go into Primark and find some cheap things, didn't I?! I love buying accessories and bags from Primark as it's kind to my bank balance. I know that this scarf will make a cute accessory. I also picked up a bluey-grey satchel bag for £8.00, which will jazz up a nice outfit. I also wanted some comfortable shoes for night time, so I bought these black, suede wedges for £12.00 (but they're a very small wedge). I love that they'll keep my feet cool in the warmer months - they're also strappy, which help make it a lovely, evening shoe.

I'll have another haul up in the next few days which will mainly consist of clothes, so look out for that! I hope you enjoyed this small haul and if it's given you the urge to splash out on some nice Spring accessories, I apologise in advance - hehe!
