Obsession of the Day + Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I'm here today not only to show you what I'm loving but also to say thank you as I have just reached 50 followers on my blog. I'm so grateful that you are all following and commenting on my posts and I promise to be more frequent and consistent in posting. I'm also hoping to get hold of a new (and working) camera to document what I wear on a day to day basis and other such things. I'm going to wait and hold a giveaway when I get to 100 followers, largely because I am currently jobless and ridiculously poor so it's probably for the best. But seriously, thank you to all of you who follow, comment, or just simply visit my blog... it means so much.

Now, on to clothes....

My pick for today is this gorgeous mint green blazer from Miss Guided. I think it is absolutely perfect. Obviously mint is everywhere this season but I love this muted tone which I think could go with so many different colours. I also love the shape of this blazer with the loose almost kimono-style sleeves and the casual tailoring. This stunning blazer looks so much more expensive than £25.99! If you want to pick up this bargain you can pick it up here!

Thanks again to all of you! Hope you have lovely Sundays and I will see you soon!

Obsession of the Day - River Island Shirt

Hi everyone,
So sorry I've been gone for a while... had a fairly hectic week in which I became an auntie again for the second time to my gorgeous new nephew! Anyway I'm back trawling the high street for summer buys and have another great one for you all today...

So to cut a long story short I am absolutely in love with River Island at the moment. I am also fond of anything embellished and, as always am partial to a shirt. So this pick ticks all the boxes for me. I think it is absolutely stunning and can imagine it dressed down with denim (shorts or jeans) and up with navy city shorts and some equally gorgeous embellished sandals for the perfect fresh but timeless summer look. This beautiful shirt is £40 but I think it would see you through for numerous seasons to come. You can pick yours up here!

Hope you're all doing well and if you are also finished uni I hope you're enjoying your holidays!

Obsession of The Day: Asos Shirts

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry that it's been so long since I last posted but the good news is that all my exams are over now and for me at least summer is officially here!! This means you can expect far more frequent updates from me on here as I will have a lot more time on my hands!! I am planning to post a 'Favourites' post in the next few days as there are loads of products I'm loving at the moment... just need to charge my camera but hopefully that will be along soon!

In the meantime thought I would talk about a general love of mine. Ever since I posted about the Asos Elephant print shirt a few months ago I have been addicted to Asos's gorgeous printed shirts. This is an addiction which Asos keeps feeding adding a new cute print every couple of weeks! So today I will show you my favourite prints which these shirts come in... all of which I very much want and need!!

Raccoon Print Shirt - buy here

Patisserie Print Shirt - buy here

Owl Print Shirt - buy here

Jukebox Print Shirt - buy here



Hope you enjoyed this and think these shirts are as cute as I do! They're each £35 but look really good quality and just add a bit of fun to your working or casual wardrobe!

Have a great few days,

Obsession of the Day

Hi everyone,

I hate revision! For the last few days  I've had my head down but still don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. Today, I thought I'd take a quick break and have a look at what I might treat myself to when exams are over!

These gorgeous penguin print shorts are what has been missing from my spring/summer wardrobe. They are from asos.com and I just love not only the cute penguin print but also the colours with the nude pink contrasting with the red penguins! I think these would look amazing for a casual day with a t-shirt or a night out with a sheer chiffon blouse. Even better they are a bargain at only £25! Pick them up here!

Hope you're having a lovely week and if you're revising too good luck!

Obsession of the Day

Hi everyone,


So sorry that I have been rubbish with new posts recently... it's that time of year where deadlines and revision are upon all us students so if you can bear with me for the next few weeks, I will then be free for 4 months! Cannot actually wait!


So recently I have been loving the tailored blazer, but have specifically been looking for my perfect white one... it has been a long hunt but I think I have finally found it...

This perfectly tailored piece comes courtesy of H&M. I'm a massive fan of H&M blazers and already own a tailored black one and a more loose-fitting peach one. This white one needs to be added to my collection. It is perfect for spring/summer thrown over a silky vest top and dark denim jeans with either sandals or nude heels. Even better is the bargain price... this beauty is only £24.99. For those of you who prefer a bit of colour it is also available in a nude/pink colour. It is part of the H&M Conscious Collection so you're even doing your bit for the environment! I'm sold and going to pick mine up now! You can get yours here!

Hope you've had a lovely week and are looking forward to a relaxing weekend!

Obsession Of The Moment: River Island

Hi everyone,

Since I was an early teen I have always shopped in River Island. I remember the days when theirs were the only jeans I would buy, I had every colour of their vest tops etc. Whilst I look back fondly at those fashion faux pas I am increasingly aware that River Island has grown and developed its style so that, even today, its pieces are often amongst my most lusted after on the high street.


At the moment, I could pretty much buy the entire store, however, I have selected a few items which sum up my passion for River Island right now...

This mint green tea dress is so perfectly on trend right now, but would transcend the seasons and could be worn at any time, because of its classic shape. To me, this looks like a vintage treasure and is so versatile. I can imagine this with brogues or loafers, knee high socks and a long cardigan for a laid back day look, or equally with some nude heels and a matching nude blazer for a spring/summer christening/wedding. For the £30 price tag, that really isn't bad. You can get yours here.



Another mint green piece... think I'm obsessed. This top is so pretty it makes me want to cry. Firstly the polka dots make it a winner, but to add to that the lace hem is so delicate and gorgeous it would make any outfit look beautifully girly. Add to this the open back, which shows a classy amount of flesh and you have yourself one of the most perfect tops I have come across this Spring/Summer. It's £25 and you can get yours here.



This silver inscribed bangle looks like it costs far more than £6. At the moment I am really liking minimal, delicate jewellery and this certainly fits the bill. It's pretty and would look effortless with other silver jewellery for a finishing touch to an outfit. You can get yours here.

How do you feel about River Island's offerings at the moment? Have you picked up anything gorgeous from there for Spring/Summer?

Hope you're having a great week!

Obsession of the Day

Hello everyone,

Today I am obsessed with something I can afford even less than the other things I post about. I have for years loved Ted Baker as a brand. I wish that I had the money to walk in there, pick something up and run to the till. I unfortunately do not. But this beautiful top makes me want to cry with how much I need it in my life...

This top already fulfills many of my criteria... its muted pinky/purple hues and its peter pan collar, but the best thing about this top is its ridiculously cute pig print. This picture does not do it justice but please go and look here! The only problem is... it's £89 price tag!!! I am just hoping and wishing that the pig print catches on in one of the less expensive high street stores!

Have a great weekend everyone! The sun is out and I've finished uni for Easter so hopefully it should be a good one back at home!

What do you think of the animal print trend at the moment? Let me know!
