Recent Summer Outfits

 
When the weather is nice, I have to admit, I'm constantly dragging someone out to take photos for me! I think that's a typical blogger instinct right? Anyway, just thought I'd show you a few recent outfits from the past month.
 
Top left - This dress is one of my favourite Summer bargains I found last year in the sale from Ever Ours. I won't waffle on too much about it as I've already done a post on this look, if you'd like to check that out, you can here. Oh & a quick note about my shoes? I love them.
 
Top right - Ah a day at the beach with the girls. Nothing beats it right? Especially if you're wearing a gorgeous dress from Oh My Love. This one I managed to scoop up in the sale, perfect for chucking on over your bikini, but not so great for tan lines. (Cut out shoulders & middle doesn't do anyone any favours!) Again, I've posted about our beach day out here, if you'd like to read more.
 
Bottom left - This was what I wore on Wednesday for a girly meal at our local pub. Perfect for a summer evening & sitting outside eating good pub grub & a gossip. My shorts are the most gorgeous things ever! They are velvet & from Topshop last year. My top is from New Look, it's a gold, slightly cropped top, with the most beautiful texture.
 
Bottom right - This has to be one of my favourite dresses, but I hardly ever wear it. I think because it's white it scares me that I'll drop something down it or someone else will.. but being so pretty & lacy, it's too adorable to be kept stored away in my wardrobe. I bought it from Boohoo a good few years ago. Oh & I can't not mention my shoes! Aren't they beautiful? I know they are quite a unique taste but ah, I just adore them.
 
What have you been wearing now we actually have sun in the UK?
& which outfit is your favourite? : )

Life At The Moment #44

Work time / Honey enjoying the sun / Fish & chips for dinner / Onesie time / Lizzie's birthday cake - strawberries & cream / Love this necklace / & shoes / & dress! OOTN / Wimbledon! / Dan & myself at Wimbledon / Sunset / Pimpin' Logan / FOTD / Chocolate time / Pretty being cute / OOTD / New editions to my collection / I like this one / Home made meringues, home grown strawberries & ice cream! / OOTD / Emily's birthday cake - chocolate orange / STRETCH / New case / Cake with the girls in café Nero

So today has been spent making meringues with mum, playing badminton with James & curling up in a ball, simply because being a woman sucks.
 
But on a happier note, it was Emily's birthday yesterday & we celebrated at the pub, with lots of cake, wine, singing & presents. Lauren makes the best cakes as you can see, (Lizzie's & Emily's were both made by her) & oh my gosh, they taste amazing. I've convinced her to make a malteser one next.
 
James is now back from his two week holiday in France & thankfully I've almost caught up on his tan from all this lovely sunshine in the UK! Sadly, I'm working tomorrow & most of next week so I'm praying we might have some rain..

How has your weekend been so far?

Recent Nail Art #8

Barry M - Turquoise & Models Own - Snowflake 

I absolutely love this topcoat. I always seem to forget about it in Summer & it gets hidden away in my collection, but it leaves such a gorgeous effect on my nails I don't know why I don't use it more through out the year. 

Rimmel - Marshmallow Heaven

Not exactly nail art but I just wanted to show you this shade. It's beautiful but didn't last that long on my nails sadly.

Maybelline - Speckled Pink

You might've seen my previous nail art post where I featured another Polka Dot varnish by Maybelline. I wasn't massively impressed by it when I painted it straight onto my nails as opposed to using it with a base coat. So this time, I just used a purple pink varnish underneath (not visible when you paint the polka dots over the top) & it managed to stay perfect for a good few days (as opposed to chipping after half a day of wear)
 
Barry M - Lemon Ice Cream, La Femme Beauty - Emerald & Models Own nail art pen in White
 
& finally my Wimbledon nails! I won't go on about these as they featured in my last post, but if you'd like to read about my Wimbledon adventure, you can here.

& if you like these posts, make sure you check out my other nail art features! : D

Wimbledon!

If you read my previous post, you'll know I was lucky enough to go to Wimbledon last Friday (mens semi-finals day) Oh my gosh. Simply amazing..
 
My tennis nails!

Myself & Dan watching Murrey in the semi-finals

See that guy line judging? That's Ferenc! : )

Ice cream, actually delicious, even if it was very over-priced.. : ' )


What I decided to wear : )

I still can't actually believe I was lucky enough to go.. & to top it off Murray lifted the trophy today as the champion at Wimbledon! Ahhhh!
 
I just can't believe the atmosphere there. The whole day felt magical as you walked around the arena & watched the players on court. We also managed to watch our friend Ferenc at work, he's a line judge & we got to enjoy strawberries & cream with him during lunch. : )
 
Did you watch the final today?

OOTD - Pleated Peach

 
 



Dress - Ever Ours / Sandals - New Look / Sunnies - Primark / Bracelet - Links Of London

First off, how pretty is this dress?! Seriously. I'm in love. You can't go wrong with lace, pleats & pretty peach shades. Ever Ours, I salute you.
 
Honey decided to get in on the action once again. She seems to be creeping into my outfit posts a lot doesn't she? Good thing she's cute..
 
Oh & I'm so excited girls, guess where I'm going on Friday!? WIMBLEDON.
Ahhhh! I've never been before but I love watching the tennis on the TV & I can't even begin to imagine what the atmosphere will be like. I think a cheeky glass of bubbly with strawberries & cream is in order..
