Lovebrunch


Hey lovelies, happy Friday!
I can't believe it's been a week since I've blogged, woops. Anyway, I hope you've all had great weeks?
I've been trying to be a little healthier this week, eating lots of salads, and my boyfriend and I have been on a couple of runs and walked to work a couple of times. I'll admit I may have given in to the occasional sausage sandwich and croissant in the office...

Last Saturday we went to LOVEBRUNCH, an all day DJ dance party in Kensington Roof Gardens.
It looks super cloudy from the photos but the sun was shining, people were dancing and champagne was flowing, a perfect Saturday afternoon. The gardens are lovely.
After having a tad too much champagne and wine, I may have stumbled across the road to Urban Outfitters. I should NOT be allowed to enter any shop when under the influence of alcohol. My budget for the month is out the window already, woops. But, I did get a couple of gorgeous things.


I LOVE this little red lace dress. I must have been tipsier than I thought when I tried it on though… I actually tried it on backwards thinking it had a high neck and a scoop down the back. Actually the scoop is on the front. To be honest I prefer it the wrong way around anyway, so I think this is how I'll be wearing it. What do you think?

The beautiful quilt... okay, I didn't need it, but look how preeeeetty?
It's reversible too, so one side is aztec and one side is floral, perfect for his and hers huh?!

Have you ever been to LOVEBRUNCH or done a spot of shopping whilst tipsy?

Holiday Purchases

Hey guys!
We're all guilty of a little panic shopping before going on holiday, yes? I don't know about you lovely lot, but I love reading bloggers posts showing hauls of what they have been buying.
Well, here are a few things I picked up on a few manic sprees before jetting off...

I’ll start with my favorite piece, which my boyfriend very kindly bought for me while we were away in Ireland.
A really cute white embroidered blouse Topshop £35. I love the embroidery collar detail and the pearl buttons, just my kind of thing. On holiday I wore it tucked into a high-waisted floral skirt, and a red high-waited skirt. I'm planning on teaming it with Jeans and heels for a night out, or underneath a jumper in the winter so you can see the pretty collar detail. LOVE.

A pale bleach effect, cropped denim jacket Topshop £38. A holiday essential, right? I felt so 1990's buying a denim jacket. Like I was using someone from Saved by The Bell as an unlikely fashion icon.

A long sleeve spotty blouse by Sparkle and fade for Urban Outfitters £25 in the sale. I couldn't resist this. I saw it on Lily Bees' blog. Seeing as I love absolutely everything this girl wears, I knew I had to have it.
I haven't actually worn it yet, but I'm planning on wearing it tucked into black jeans, done up to the collar with bright orange lippy. Or tucked inside a pleated skirt with tights and boots.

Ripped denim hotpants £25 Urban Outfitters sale. Again with the denim. I don't think I realized just how short these shorts were. They were a bit of an impulse buy the night I was packing for the Bahamas. Fine for the beach, but I'm not sure they'll be acceptable for the city unless I wore them with thick tights.

Shades Topshop £12. These just go with everything, you can't go wrong.
Lastly I got a couple of Topshop Lipsticks, both £8 and a nail varnish £5.
Idol, a bright shocking candy pink, perfect for impact lips. Tease, a couple of shades lighter, for a more day-time look. The nail varnish is a really nice pastel purple called 'Parma Violet'.
