For a casual look I'll wear a cute pair of flats

I first spotted this dress on the lovely Anneli (here) so when I was in Zara I decided to check it out for myself

This dress falls in the throw on and your good to go department which takes all the stress out of holiday packing so I couldn't resist

Atomic Tangerine

I got this fluro orange dress at the weekend to wear on our upcoming holiday

Crepe Tee Shift Dress from Topshop

It will look great with this necklace which I've been wearing recently with my red tee (here)

Shard Necklace from Topshop

I love the black zip pull detail on the back so I'll wear simple black heels to pull it altogether

Are you braving brights this summer?

Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses

Summer is definitely my favourite time of year

Sun kissed skin, pretty shoes and barbecues are the little things that make me smile but it's got to be the feel good factor that sweeps the nation and the holiday buzz that I love the most

Last year I moved into my flat so I didn't have the time, inclination or readies to go away but this summer I'm back on that jet plane. Yep, me and the Mr have booked a holiday and I'm super excited to get some quality time away with my beloved. And of course I'm already thinking about my holiday wardrobe, starting with beach attire...

Acid Mari Tote from Accessorize

This bold tote will double up as my flight/beach bag, it's roomy enough to stash all of my essentials and the colour is perfect for poolside


Kindle Cover by Diane Von Furstenberg
I do love a good book but you just can't beat a Kindle when travelling. I bought this super stylish cover for my Kindle a few years ago, love the hot pink inside

Ray Ban Cats 5000 from Sunglass Hut

I normally buy a new pair of sunglasses every year but I bought these last year and love them so  they'll be adorning my face again this summer


Bandeau Bikini from Melissa Odabash
This bikini is rather darn expensive but I have to say it is the only bikini that I really feel comfortable in, which is quite important when you're wearing next to nothing in public! It's super soft, extremely flattering and washes up like new so over the years I have stocked up on different colours, and this year I am deliberating over a yellow diamond print or a breton stripe


Dip Dye Sundress from Topshop, Fringed Kaftan from Topshop (old),
Dip Hem Tunic from Matalan, Fringed Sandals from New Look
When it comes to cover ups I don't like to over think things, these three pieces are easy to throw on and give that laid back look that I like

Paper Straw Trilby from Accessorize (old)
And I'll top it all off with a trilby for when I haven't quite nailed the coveted beach hair look

What's your top beach beauty tips?

It's A Haven For Bohemian Free Spirits

Sorry for the lack of posts peeps, we've been caught up in wedding plans, christenings and family stuff, all crazy and fun times :)

Anyways, here's a little purchase I picked up this weekend

The folklore style jackets that we're seeing everywhere at the moment are right up my street so I've been keeping an eye out for one that works for me

Mathilde Print Jacket from Monsoon

I love this one, mainly because it has three predominant colours; ivory, red and blue, this simple colour combo teams perfectly with my summer uniform of white tees and (blue) denim skinnies

I also love that the metallic embroidery detail is silver and gold

To finish my boho look...

Missouri Suede Moccasin from Topshop
And for when I'm feeling less boho, the trusty converse...



Hope you all had a great bank holiday weekend
