OOTD | Palm trees







Top - Primark
Jeans - H&M
Jelly shoes- Primark
Clutch - New Look
Necklace - Ebay
Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters

The weather was pleasantly nice and warm over the bank holiday for once so i managed to wear this new palm tree top which is from Primark for only £5 i seem to remember. I love the high neck of it and the palm tree design is very summer appropriate, i opted for an all white look here which i am really digging at the moment, i think it looks so pristine. I'm always a sucker for white but i am also the messiest person so its inevitable that i'm going to spill ketchup down myself at some point haha. This was also the first time i wore my jelly shoes without socks and its fair to say my feet are in absolute bits, i hope it gets better because i really do love these shoes! According to the weather we also have a 2 week heatwave coming up which i really do hope is true, i have far too many clothes that only get worn on holidays, heres to hoping!

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like the all white look? Do you like jelly shoes?

Justfor5pounds wishlist!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 


Today i am introducing you to the justfor5pounds website, yes you heard that right everything really is just £5, the clothes,the shoes,handbags, everything! The concept of this site is amazing, it really is that simple and they offer a wide range of styles,trends to suit all tastes and ages. I have picked out the best pastel finds from the site as well as a gorgeous pair of heels, you really arent going to break the bank with this site in your life.

1. Floral jeans are circulating the shops everywhere at the moment but youre looking at at least £20 or more for a pair, for £5 these are by far the cheapest i have found and i love the colours too.

2. This is such a cute sun dress and would be perfect for holidays, i love the tie dye pastel wash of it.

3. If you saw my outfit post on Thursday i featured a denim shirt from primark almost identical to this one, this is £4 cheaper though so i wish i had seen this before. Denim shirts are so versatile i even did a post on 3 ways to wear a denim shirt last summer which you can read here.

4. As a fan of denim jackets i am completely besotted with this pastel one! I've never seen one like it and i really cant believe this is £5 too, surely the materials and labour cost more than this?!Crazy, but i'm not complaining!

5. I love this baby blue pastel clutch bag, this would accompany me everywhere for sure. Its the perfect size and the colour is gorgeous!

6. Last up are these camel coloured boots. Camel is a colour i'm starting to really love now and these boots would not only be great for A/W but to wear to festivals, they definitely have a boho look to them!


I hope you all have a lovely bank holiday Monday! Have you heard of justfor5pounds before? What do you think of my picks? Have you bought anything from their website before?

OOTD | Floral print trousers








Crop top - Miss Selfridge 
Cardigan - H&M 
Trousers* - Lovestretch (Petit Bateau) 
Shoes* - Peacocks 
Clutch - River Island (old)

I've finally jumped on the floral/patterned trousers bandwagon and i am definitely feeling out of my comfort zone in doing so! My hopes were dashed of owning the pretty pink/floral joni jeans from Topshop as they don't seem to be restocking them anymore. Last week i was lucky enough to win (I know not another win!) these amazing floral cigarette style trousers as well as a top and a scarf from Lovestretch, who are home to a wide range of designer brands, their stuff is really luxurious and something i would not normally be able to afford! The quality of these trousers is second to none which is expected for the price and the slim leg line fit is very flattering. Florals are something i really do love wearing in the summer, but its the first time i've worn trousers housing the pattern and i actually really love them and can see i will get lots of wear out of these. I've paired it with a bargain of a crop top that i picked up in Miss Selfridge last week, they were running 20% student discount so it only worked out at around £6! I love the style of the high neck and it goes without saying that this will go with everything! Back to student discount, i'm seriously impressed with how many shops are running it now and offering extra discounts, New Look currently have 20% off for students this weekend which is amazing as their stuff is so cheap anyway, losing my student discount is without a doubt the thing i will miss most about being a student haha! Anyway, i hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend and enjoy the sun!

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like patterned/floral jeans? Are you loving the student discounts recently?

OOTD | Gingham and denim







Denim shirt - Primark
Top - H&M
Leggings - Primark
Bag - H&M
Slip ons - Lipsy


I have recently seen so many amazing items that people have been snapping up from Primark but when i look in store i never seem to find them, does that ever happen to anyone else? However, i had a good old browse on the weekend and picked up the leggings and shirt from there. I have wanted the gingham joni jeans from Topshop for a while now but i cant bare to part with so much money for jeans that i might not wear a lot. I noticed that Primark did a very similar pair but the size 6 was even too big for me, their sizing is odd at the best of times, Iv'e also tried on size 8 tops that don't even fit over my head haha. But i found these cute gingham leggings instead for only £5 which are a much better colour than the jeans they were selling. Although, i think they might be partial to becoming a bit see through so it will only be acceptable to wear baggy tops with them haha.

Another purchase from the weekend was also this bag from H&M which i have not stopped using since, it was £20 but they ran a 20% student discount off everything on the weekend so it worked out even more reasonable! I love the tassles so much and it really fits in well with the boho/festival trend so well! 

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like the gingham trend? What have you all been buying recently?
