I Love: the floral trend

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

I absolutely love the florals that are coming into stores right now! I think its just because they remind me that it is nearly summer. Above are a few items I have chosen from various websites that I really really would love to own. I think my favourite is the daisy print shorts from Motel, aren't they lovely? Only downside is that they are £35, if I had that spare I would totally buy them. Another one of my favourites is the play suit from Missguided, the colours are beautiful. I just wish I had the figure to pull it off, should have started working on a summer body a long time a go ha ha! Finally the shirt dress from Pretty Little Thing is adorable! I can just imagine belting it and wearing it in summer with wedges, would look so lovely!

Do you like florals?

1. How can a denim dress go wrong? I really like this one from H&M and its only £15! I think this is such a good deal as you can wear it in summer or winter (with tights). Also it can be dressed down for during the day and also can be dressed up with heels at night, so versatile!

2. I was originally looking for the traditional daisy earrings but then I stumbled across these pink ones from Topshop. Such a unique twist and a little different than the average daisy, perfect for spring/summer!

3. My phone case right now is so dated so I have been thinking lately that I need to update it for spring. This phone case is from Ebay and is bea-u-tiful! Only £5 as well, means I can buy myself more on top of this one ha ha!

4. I recently started working at Marta Jonsson at my local Debenhams and fell in love with this boot immediately! The picture does not do it justice at all. I know its getting into spring/summer so boots aren't needed but I would happily invest in this boot for later this year. I know £95 is a little bit steep but they are such good quality so the price really is justified!

1. How pretty is this bedding? I dream of a room with white furniture and floral prints. Whats best is that this particular bedding is not too expensive, hopefully I can get it for when I move out of student accommodation to a new flat in September!

2. Is the pinafore trend passed now? I'm still in love with them whatever, however I still have yet to buy one. I either want a floral print one or this striped one from Pretty Little Thing (my new favourite website!). They can be dressed up or dressed down, which appeals to me.

3. As I mentioned in another blog posts - daisies are my new favourite thing! I recently bought a lovely tshirt dress with daisies (last blog post) but I need another one to added to my obsession and this Missguided dress is perfect!

4.I normally use the Sleek brow kit for my brows but recently I have been wanting to get the Benefit gimmeBROW as it just seems like an interesting product. Hopefully I can save for it and get it soon!

1. This necklace is actually under the girls section of the River Island website but I fell in love with it! I think I just like how it incorporates many different pastel colours in one necklace, could brighten up any outfit!

2. I feel in love with this skirt in New Look and had to drag myself away from it. However I do plan to buy it for my holidays. It was placed near a mint top that went perfectly! Definitely an outfit I want to own.

3. How beautiful is this top? I want to buy it for my holiday also but I feel that I may not be able to pull it off.. nothing going into the changing rooms cant solve!

4. I just love how simple this bag is yet the colour makes it unique. I can just imagine it accompanying a spring/summer outfit. Its not that expensive either, waaaaay cheaper than the Mulberry one from last week!

1. I spent ages trying to decide if I should choose a seasonal coloured bag or one I could use all year round...then I realised I'll never actually get one! I adore Mulberry bags, especially the one pictured, its a shame they are so expensive. A girl can dream!

2. I saw this blazer in New Look the other day and instantly fell in love! Its such a lovely spring/summer colour and would brighten up anyone's wardrobe.. especially mine which features mainly dark colours (I need to change that!)

3.Right now daisy's are my obsession - on clothes, jewellery, photo frames, phone cases... the list could just go on and on. I saw this necklace on River Islands website and just thought it was beautiful. I reckon it could spruce up any plain outfit!

4. This jewellery box was almost purchased as a gift for my friend but I ended up going in a different direction. I can just imagine this sitting on my dressing table looking beautiful! I am so tempted to order it for myself.

OOTD- uni while its sunny

So on Wednesday it was such lovely weather! Well it was warm in the sun and freezing in the shade.. nevertheless as a true Scot (and not used to the sun) I took advantage of it and wore my new floral dress from Primark which only cost me £6.

I totally forgot to put lipstick on on this day and its bugging me! Anyway at the same time as purchasing my dress, I picked up this necklace also from Primark. I thought that its a nice alternative to the typical chain necklace (I still love them though) and it only cost me £4. I must say it broke as soon as I got it but my boyfriend managed to fix it for me thankfully! The blazer I wore is ancient, It was actually my sisters before it was mine and I think its from New Look. I found it buried in my wardrobe at home and fell back in love with it. My shoes... just my ruined black boots from Primark, I definitely need a new pair!

Hope you enjoyed!
