Shopping Sunday...

Bad times for my bank balance and my guilt today. Boredom found me wandering the pages of a terrible land known as ebay. Worse still it found me seeing pictures of clothes I liked and then in some kind of daze I was bidding on such items. I won them and my wardrobe is already asking how it could possibly fit more things in. We shall see. Anyway, this is what I have bought...this lace dress and also this dress. It is payday in a few days time plus they are bargains (if they fit and I like them) else I could re-sell. I will update you on what they're like when they arrive!

Apparently the UK is in for a heatwave this week with temperatures up to 30 degrees celcius. Time to get out of the office, ditch the housework and head outdoors. Cue outdoor inspired imagery...

This dress I found on etsy is gorgeous...were it not for my spending already, I'd be tempted to get it myself!

Chase the Sun



The best thing about summer I find, apart from the looooong summer break and holidays and generally being outside, is getting a bit of a tan. I'm so pale in the winter so its nice to get a bit of colour.

Although the weather isn't always reliable so its better to fake it, not to mention its better for your skin. The lovely people at L'Oreal sent me Sublime Bronze One Day instant tan to review and you can read it here

Surf Chick

Whenever the sun comes out in the UK we all go a bit sun crazy and act like its a scorcher even if its not really. Although today its 23 degrees which is rather warm for here. Anyway, I love surf style and thats inspiring me at the moment. Even my latest polyvore set was beach/surf inspired. Recently I came across an amazing magazine called Cooler which is a surf and snow lifestyle and fashion magazine. Never seen it before but if you can get hold of a copy check it out. I found mine in WH Smiths. Definately worth a look :)

Anyway, thought I'd share with you some of my favourite things I've come across lately.



I love halterneck dresses like this one and I'm a sucker for bright prints too...always better with a
bit of a tan. Just reminds me of holidays!

















The bikini...ah what a beach holiday essential. I'm always drawn to halterneck ones cos they're better for me in the boob dept. plus less of the tan lines too. I tend to get them in blue cos I think that suits me best. This ones great cos you can mix and match it. Love the cute belt on the bottoms.













Not so much about the clothes...but what I would LOVE to be doing right now...













Anyway, I'm off to go and chill outside. Hope your all having a great day :)

Baaaad blogging

Wow, now I know what happens when I don't watch the time..it disappears! Blame uni deadlines and exams, and not having a computer...its amazing how much of a difference computers make in our lives isn't it? Take it away, and its like someone has just taken your entire life away. But I am back with more free time than you can possibly imagine and raring to get this thing out there. I really need to make it look more pretty for starters, pictures and such. This brings me to the main annoyance in my life, no camera. Its horrible. Blame a rather drunken 21st birthday and lack of fundage. My own fault on both counts! Hopefully I'll be back to being able to take pictures soon once I have the money.

I'm not gonna post anymore for now, but watch this space...this is me and my summer entertainment (and I'm hoping yours too!)
