#OOTD - Summer Staples

I hope everyone's been enjoying this beautiful weather we've been having as much as I...but being England it was never gonna last (BOOO.) 
Today, I met a few friends for lunch and had a catch-up - which was lurrrbly and here is my OOTD..


It wasn't exactly warm but nor was it cold so this is more of an 'in-between' look. 
I'm wearing mostly H&M, (no shock there) which includes the Jacket, Trousers - Featured here in a previous post, and Sandles. The Jacket and Sandles are my go-to items during the summer months and I got a lot of wear out of both last year. Sadly my shoes are a little worn, and probably should be retired but I can't seem to let go although, I Have seen some very similar ones that have been featured on the beautiful Girl Talk with LLC which I love the look of, and at £12 from Matalan, It just may be the solution to my problem! Yay!


My Top is a recent addition, with thanks to an Oasis giftcard I was given to me at Christmas that decided to resurface not so long ago so I managed to get this for 99p - pretty bargina! Its a shape that is really multifuntional, and works beautifully pared with many things. Just 6 months a go the word 'Crop top' made me picture tacky tight polyester material but my eyes have been opened and I'm 100% converted, I love them. There are so many on the market at the moment that are just lovely, so there may be a few more additions added to my wardrobe soon! As you may or may not be able to see, I've rolled the trousers up to create a cropped leg trouser. I do it with all my trousers, It just gives an outfit a slight edge, and also helps extend my not so long legs. Win - Win! :)


I'm trying to get a bit more wear out of the nail polish's I own, here I'm wearing Barry M - Gelly High Shine in Prickly Pear. I really love how pastels look on the nail especially in summer with a bit of a tan! 

Also a little of point but, my mum has recently bought a Cannon Eos 1100D which these and my next blog images will be taken with, the difference in quality is huge - so i'm a happy bunny!

There will also be a few changes on the blog soon, so keep your eyes peeled!


Whats your go to summer item of clothing, or shoe?

See ya soon,

  2. This outfit is just perfect for the British summer, (I am partial to a summery pair of trousers for the warmer months), it has also made me realise how much I need a cute, light jacket like yours!
