Summer/Holiday fashion wish list | 2014

Hello Everyone! 
I hope you are all well and having a good start to June - supposedly the start of Summer!
So today I am here with a wishlist including some fashion items that I have my eye on or am looking to buy something similar too.  As you will see I have taken some items and given a few examples for them as I like a lot of things at the moment.. hahaha.  Now I have a lot of things that I have seen that I love however here are just a few of my favorites which I would love to purchase in time for the summer and before I go on holiday.  
Links to each item are linked throughout!
I hope you enjoy :)

First off is a white leather jacket!
I absolutely love my black leather jackets however I have found myself not wearing them as much as I would in the Autumn/Winter time as I am not keen on dressing so dark in the Summer.  Recently I have seen a couple of white leather jackets on clothing websites that I love however they mostly seem to be very expensive so I have found a couple of slightly cheaper alternatives that I am definitely looking into buying one of on my next pay day! 

First Jacket | Asos | £55
Second Jacket | Topshop | £48


White strappy sandals
 You may see a white trend occurring through this post... aha I absolutely love the white fashion trend that seems to be very popular at the moment - especially as it makes me looked more tanned! I love this style of sandals and have seen a few around but these are my favorites however the ones from boohoo are out of stock in my size at the moment so hopefully they will get some more in soon!

I love every pair of these as they are all different, and the first pair have a nice platform which would be a nice and comfy substitute for heels especially on holiday if you were going out for a meal!

First Pair | Boohoo | £25
Second Pair | Topshop | £22
Third Pair | Boohoo | £22

Summery Dresses!
At college we aren't really allowed to wear shorts... unless they're quite long which I don't really like and they definitely don't suit me! Haha, so dresses are the best thing to wear when it gets a bit hot as I don't really want to be sitting around in jeans when I could be getting a tan. 
 A couple of weeks ago me and Sarah went and tried on loaads of dresses (Including a few of the ones below) and I found that the 'smock dresses' suit me quite nicely and I am looking in to buying a few for college and for my holiday to Corfu in the summer as I think they'd be perfect! So here are a few that I am loving...

My favorite one is definitely the first one and I have already tried it on so that's something I am definitely going to be purchasing soon, but I love them all!  H&M has loads of affordable dresses which are really nice and light for the Summer.

1 | Topshop | £28
2 | Topshop | £28
3 | Topshop | £36
4 | H&M | £5.99
5 | H&M | £14.99

White denim High waisted shorts
I really want some white shorts because 1. They make me looked tanned and 2. They're just so pretty! These 2 pairs that I have found are both from Hollister and I can't really seem to find many high waisted pairs around at the moment.. as these 2 pairs are quite expensive I am hoping that somewhere like Topshop comes out with a nice pair soon!

1 | Hollister | £42
2 | Hollister | £42

High waisted 'Washed Black' Joni Jeans | Topshop | £36
I dont have a pair of these in grey yet and the other day I tried Sarah's on and I really liked them! Although they are not very summery they will still be great for when it's not so warm here in England!

Elephant Charm Choker Necklace | Ebay | £3.75
I've seen a few people wearing these and I used to wear things like it when I was little! I think they look really cute though and I've been loving shorter necklaces recently so this is pretty cheap and I would love to see if I can pull one off!

White 'Push em up' Bikini | Gilly Hicks | £34
(They also sell this on the Hollister website) Again... white makes me look tanned!  And a bit of push up is always nice when you don't have much hahah. 

And... that's everything!  Geeez, I'm going to be skint!
Let me know what your favorite thing on my list is, and what's on your wishlist for this Summer.
Also.. where are you going on holiday this year (If you are) let me know in the comments below!

I hope you enjoyed this post,
lotsa love

OOTD | Spring Day Out

Hello! So today I am going out for a BBQ with a few friends at one of their houses, and I thought I'd show you my outfit, it's very casual as it's only a BBQ, but still appropriate for the spring season. It's still not very warm here in the UK, but thankfully it's not raining today, so you don't have to go out wearing a coat with your umbrella.

Top | Hollister

Jeans | Topshop (Leigh Jeans - Acid Wash)

Black High Top Converse | Office

Kimono | Primark

Thankyou for reading let me know if you like the outfit and if you'd wear something like this for spring, all comments will be replied to, and are all appreciated.

Just to let you all know if you don't know all ready we have started a YouTube channel so do have a look at it, under 'Alarah' we have posted two videos and are hoping to be posting a lookbook soon but are having some trouble with it, but it should be up soon so look forward to that,  as well as many other videos, thankyou!

Day to Night Outfit | Styling a skort

Hello! The other day i went out and bought myself a skort which i hauled on our YouTube channel here, I saw it in Zoella's spring haul on YouTube and fell in love with it, and after trying it on in the shop i knew i had to buy it. Skorts have been very in since winter, and i think there here to stay for while longer. If your not to sure what a skort it, its basically shorts, with material sewn over the top of the front of them, so they look like a skirt from the front, but still the shorts in the back. Here I'm going to be showing you how i wear this particular skort in both the day, and the evening so for casual and party wear.

This is the skort I bought, it is from new look and costed £17.99, so not too expensive compared to some in Topshop or Zara. This skort is elasticated around the waist which makes it very comfortable, and easy to get on and off. The floral print is very bright, which i actually really liked for the spring/summer seasons as the bright colour are very in right now. I think it may just be because i'm small, but on me, this skort is actually high wasted, which i prefer, so i can wear it with crop tops. You can buy this skort here.

Day Outfit

White cross back jumper | River Island | No longer available for purchase

Black Converse | Office | Purchase here

 Evening Outfit

White Bralet | Hollister | No longer available for purchase

I hope this was helpful and maybe gave you a few ideas on how to wear a skort or, just some outfit ideas in general. Let me know whether you like skort's and how you would wear one in the comments. Also let me know which outfit you preferred day or evening?

Were Back! | Bargain Hunt Haul

Hello our lovely followers and readers! long time no see. 

Were incredibly sorry for our lack of posts, haven't posted anything since Christmas?! As many of you know me and Alanah are both in our first year at collage and we've both had a lot on our plates with coursework and revision. But were back, and although we may not post as much as we used to, we don't ever forget about our blog and were here for now, so lets get no with the post...

I have been looking for a few bargains in shops recently and yesterday me and a few girls, went to Portsmouth, Gunwharf Quays for a bit of shopping, as it was my friend Sophie's birthday. It was a lovely day out thanks to the nicer weather we've been having in the UK recently. If you've never been to Gunwharf Quays, you may not know it is an outlet shopping center, so many of the shops have their old seasons collections in for much cheaper prices and I found myself some great bargains. 

I am unable to link many of these items, as they're usually not available to purchase in stores anymore.

Superdry | Cord Jacket

RRP | £54.99

Outlet | £32.99

(also available in other colours)

I'd been looking our for a jacket that I could also wear in the spring and summer, and many jackets I currently own are coats or leather jackets. I do have a denim jacket, but its layered with fur, so you do become very hot in it. When I saw this in Superdry I was very pleased, as its perfect for the spring and summer for the UK, as it doesn't ever get overly warm, so i do normally take a jacket with me anywhere.

Calvin Klein Underwear

RRP | £10-£13.50

Outlet | 4 for £25 or £7-£9

 So I needed to pick up new underwear, though i thought it'd be a bit inappropriate to show you those, so here's the bag, haha!

Ralph Lauren | Marin White Canvas shoes

RRP | £75.00

Outlet | £34.99

(also available in other colours)

I feel everyone needs some white shoes in spring or summer, whether they be converse, vans, or the cheap Primark plimsolls. They just seem to go with everything, though with them being white they do get dirty quite easily and quickly so i didn't want to spend loads, though as I knew I'd wear them a lot, I wanted to purchase a nice pair. I saw these in Ralph Lauren and fell in love. Though the search for my size took around 30 minutes, (I am not exaggerating!). I needed a size 3, and they only had a 2.5 or 4, so i tried both on, and could get both on, but I went for the 4, as I'd rather they'd be large and i can do the laces up tighter, than having smaller ones that hurt so i wont wear them.

That's everything I bought in Portsmouth, but I thought I'd share a few other items I'd purchased these passed months as, I thought they were quite good bargains.

Sorry the trousers don't match, they were just what I was already wearing.

H&M | Floral Crop Top

Price | £6.99

(other colours and styles available)

couldn't find this online, but is still in stores

Topshop | Yellow Floral Crop Top

Price | £20

(available in other colours)

purchase here

             

Topshop | Lace Crop Top

Price | £16

(available in other colours)

 purchase here                                             

Topshop | Strappy Crop Top

Price | £8

(available in other colours)

OOTD | Rag Week Day 1 | Pyjama's

Hello, so this week at our college we are having a 'Rag week' which is a charity fundraiser, each day has a different theme and we thought each day this week we'd post what we wore to school, we are wearing paired things every day sometimes completely the same and others days we'll be wearing outfits that are just similar to each others.

So this day was pyjama day and we wore similar clothing, but not completely the same.

                              Sarah                                                                                          Alanah

                                                                                       
                   

First what we wore the same of, the festive pyjama bottoms, these are from Primark and are a bargain at £5. They are fleece material and are perfect for winter as they keep you super warm. (these are currently still in store however Primark don't have a website so I cannot link them)

 Now for tops they were different






















Sarah | My top is from Topshop, it is still in-store however only in light grey or navy (view the grey one here)

 Alanah | My poncho is from Tesco, it is still in-store it costs £12 and you can find it here

Now shoes are very similar but not the same

Sarah | Double tongue white converse (view similar ones here)

Alanah | Original white converse still in-store (view them here)

We hope you liked the post.

We will be doing an OOTD each day of this week, so be sure to keep an eye out for tomorrows post!

Sarah & Alanah
