SUMMER. Closing with a bang

Summer.

It's gone way too quickly, I started with a week in Sorrento, Italy. The top 6 pictures capture my 'holiday style'

Bikini- SL Privee

Red swimsuit- vintage

Denim shorts- sevenforallmankind cut offs

Top- Offyourface

Sunglasses- Vintage pop up at Cornbury festival

Maxi dress- Topshop

Turqoise dress- Topshop

Black mullet skirt- River Island

I can't tell you how nice it was to get away and just forget about all the shit, don't worry though it's piled on since then. Life.

The next picture is results night. I got ccdd in my AS levels, History, English Lit, Art and Dance which left me in the mood to party. I attended a party with 80% of my year, and as nice as it was to see everyone, I didn't have fun.

Top- Topshop

Leggings- Primark

I hosted a party a few days later, and I am pictured first with my good friend Jess and in the last picture with my main girl Megan. Both of these hunnies have insane fashion sense and gorgeous clothes- I have to borrow all the time! But again, I couldn't properly enjoy myself.

Skirt- Zara

Shirt- White Stuff

Shoes- River Island

A friend of mine, Ed held a party/band thing at his house which I attended with Jess and Ab (pictured) I sound like such a moan but I really didn't enjoy myself again.

Shirt- Megs from TK Maxx

Skirt- Abs from Topshop

Finally. I went to a friend Joe's house party, I hadn't seen him or his group of friends for a long time and it was so so nice to finally catch up. I ended up staying for 4 nights, constantly drunk and then have been back almost every night this week! I had the most fun I've had all summer and I hope to return tonight!

Leotard- Retro Pineapple

Jeans- Topshop

Belt- Mias

Summer is most definitely here!

It's been overall amazing weather here recently, super sunny and I'm loving it! Picnics on the rec, lazy afternoons in the pubs after school and pooooool parties. The top picture was taken at school around a week ago at school. My jeans are high-waisted baby blues from River Island and my top is a Zara classic. I've been experimenting with brighter colours and the summer clothes are out! Second is a picnic I attended in June. My dress is a Miss Selfridge and my denim jacket was a Primark find that i customized. The bottom two have both been parties I attended in my short shorts. First twinned with my mesh cut out leotard- possibly Topshop, I cut out the label, and secondly with my Hollister blouse and bright lipstick!

Cornbury.

Last weekend I was at Cornbury Festival, just outside Oxford. I went last year and really enjoyed it but this year it was amazing! Headlining were Pixie Lott, Aloe Blacc, James Morrison, Will Young and a personal favourite of mine, Elvis Costello! It was just so fun and such a nice feeling to let go and just go crazy! In the picture I'm wearing an OFFYOURFACE top, possibly mention in a previous post, it's a fave, with cut off Seven For All Mankind jean-shorts. I teamed these with Hunter glossy wellies and someone's Jack Wills hoodie. I carried my hipflask and spliff (not really!) in a gorgeous Vintage Mulberry bag that I've been lucky enough to own for a while now and protected my eyes with black Ray Bans. This weekend, I'm going to WIRELESS with a friend Luka, so no doubt will have plenty to post! Have a gorgeous week!

Party girls!

My pretty dress- Topshop, such a fit colour and looks great with a tan. It's really tight so curves are out but I felt I had to suck in my tummy all the time!

SWEEET, SUMMER'S COMING.

As are exams, my first on Tuesday.. waah. History- Civil Rights and Vietnam. Recently I've been super busy but I haven't realised at all. The top picture is a gathering I went to and wore this amazing blouse, courtesy of my friend, thank you Jess! It's all romantic and floaty with lace and I just love it! The last few pictures are of the May Ball I attended last night at Rye St Antony, where I used to go to school. It was amazing to see all of my old friends and teachers, and meet so many new people as well! I wore an absolutely gorgeous vintage dress, black and corset (I couldn't breath) and plain black shoes. As it was such an elegant dress I styled my hair and make up to compliment it, focusing on a strong coral lip. I went for delicate jewellery, a plain silver bangle and these gorgeous Zoe Dunn earrings. The picture in black and white is from my brother's 11th birthday, I really should be a princess. Harry? Any takers? Anyway, I've had an amazing few days, but now I'd better get down to revision! Have a fabulous May! xxx

Silver Spring

Recent.

This weekend was my Aunt and Uncle's silver wedding anniversary. I wore this Grecian style dress (I had to!) from Topshop and these gorgeous orange shoes courtesy of River Island. My bag is an old vintage and my earrings, although barely visible here, are from Topshop and adorable.

My mother works at lingerie boutique SL Privee in Richmond, and last week hosted a party, free fittings and lots and lots of pretty bras and Prosecco.

The final picture is one of the beautiful days we've had recently in Oxfordshire, a welcome change I can assure you! My bikini is a classic white triangle with cute pastel patterns, from SL Privee, of course, and this fabulous top (my favourite thing as of now) is an Off Your Face purchase.

Have a fabulous easter, I know I will!
