Seeing so many people post their holiday snaps on Instagram has made me really want to go on holiday. I've never actually been on a proper holiday so for now I'll have to dream about my perfect holiday.

WHAT I GOT | CO ORD, BIRKS & A CHOKER
I also got a pair of Birkenstocks in pink! I haven't got much to say about them because my step dad bought them for me but I do really like them (mainly because they are pink!)

FASHION | OOTD
Summer is now in full swing and I must say its been full of good news; I passed my first year of university and I'm very happy with my grade, I finally got a job and after only working there 2 days I got some really good news from them, one of my flatmates wasn't going to live with us in second year due to being on placement but he has now changed his plans and will now be living with us for second year (MADHOUSE!) also I've got some really exciting things planned for my blog so all in all I'm a very happy girl.
If you've been reading my blog for a while you'd now I've had some issues with doing OOTD's and getting them up. Well, I have finally found a solution and that is getting my 8 year old brother to take them! I'm actually impressed and after taking today's OOTD he has now decided he wants to be photographer haha!

BEAUTY | BASIC EVERYDAY MAKE UP ROUTINE (SUMMER EDITION)
For the past few days in the UK temperatures have been getting as high as 31 degrees (which is very hot for us). I don't really want to be out in the heat wearing lots of make up so my routine is very different to my make up routine for cooler weather which you can read here.
I start of by putting a little bit of the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer under my eyes and I blend it using my finger. Personally, this is the perfect light concealer and when I have it on I don't feel like I'm wearing anything. I then fill in my eyebrows with Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in dark brown and then I clean it up with MAC Studio Finish Concealer in the shade NC45. In my tear duck I put a little bit of No7's eye shadow in Champagne and then I line my upper lids with Maybelline Gel Liner, depending on how I feel I might do a thin line or a really dramatic flick. I then pop on my eyelashes which I get from any Afro-Carribean hair shop and that's it. I have really oily skin and it gets extremely oily in the summer, especially on my T zone so I avoid putting make up on my forehead and my nose.

D.I.Y | MY NEW HIGH WAISTED SHORTS
This Friday I'm going to a beach party with a couple of friends and I need an outfit!
I had a vision of me wearing baggy shorts and a bikini top, I was even considering actually ordering a pair.
But what do I do? I take a pair of tracksuit bottoms and make them into shorts. I've had these tracksuit bottoms and their matching jacket since I was about 12. About 3 years I accidentally got red paint on them and I haven't worn them since. It's a mens tracksuit and extremely big on me so they come up high waisted. I didn't do anything technical or hard, I only used a pair of scissors and an iron to make sure the bottom stays folded.
I really love them and I know I'll definitely be wearing them a lot over summer, some of these pictures were taken on my iPhone so sorry about the quality.

Before throwing your trousers or tracksuit bottoms out why not try make them into shorts.

OOTD | WHITE & CREAM
I literally cannot explain my obsession with my new look sandals, on Sunday I went to a New Look store to purchase the black ones but they didn't have them in my size (cries). They are so so so comfortable I just know that I'll be wearing them all summer.
I've actually had this dress since I was about 9 years old, crazy right! And for my hair and face... I am extremely tired, have no make up on and tied my hair up with no mirror.

MY SUMMER ESSENTIALS
Summer is quickly approaching and I'm pretty sure many of you have been getting your summer wardrobes ready, I definitely have! I've come up with a few of my summer essentials which I will definitely be reaching for several times during the summer.
The Perfect Bag
In the summer I tend to not wear items of clothing that have pockets, which results in my bag pretty full. I like my bag to be quite bag that way if I've gone shopping I can fit all of my new buys in my bag, I really do hate walking round with loads of shopping bags. Carrying loads of shopping bags on London transport is the worst!
A Lightweight Dress
I HATE wearing tight stuff in the summer, a cute little light dress I feel is perfect for the summer weather.
Sandals
All of my friends will tell you I hate feet and I hate sandals. Although I'm really liking these caged sandals because they are great for the summer and don't expose your whole foot. So if your just like me I'd suggest you invest in a pair of these.
Sunglasses
I only own two pairs of sunglasses and they are both round shaped, I feel they are the perfect shape for my face. They don't make my nose stand out as much as other shapes do!
Smell GOOD
Its summer which means heat which leads to sweating which can sometimes lead to not smelling to cute. Get your self a fragrance whether it be a perfume or a lotion.
