Happy 4th Of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! I wanted to share a few of my favourite American flag-inspired clothing/bags/accessories that will be suitable to wear today. Even though I may not live in America I can still celebrate :)

What did you wear on the 4th of July?

The Fashion Post: Crop Tops

The days are - gradually - getting warmer and I'm beginning to put my jeans and jumpers towards the back of my wardrobe ready to make room for some Summer clothing, crop tops are perfect to wear on warm days (even if you're a little shy). Here's my favourite picks of the crop tops...

1. Newlook Purple New York Crop Top £14.99
This New York print is one of my favourites, it's great to wear with some distressed denim shorts and a pair of summer sandals and you're good to go. It's slouchy and comfy, so it's great for everyday wear.

2. Newlook Neon Pink Tie Dye Crop Top £7.99
Tie dye is very in at the moment and this neon pink shade is band on trend. Work this summery crop top with a high waisted black midi skirt, a statement necklace and some nude ballet pumps (or heels for a party look).

3. Forever 21 Unicorn Crop Top £7.25
This cute and quirky unicorn print is right up my street. Whether you wear this by itself or under a muscle tee it's a must-have for the summer. For £7.25, it's an absolute steal too.

4. Brandy Melville I love you to the moon and back Crop Top £12.74
I am completely in love with the Brandy Melville crop tops, I just wish they were available much easier in the UK! This plain and simple crop top will go with just about anything, and it's light and breezy too.

5. Pull & Bear Crop Top £5.99
This crop top is perfect for festivals or spending a day at the beach. Wear a patterned bandeau underneath to make it look more interesting.


What do you think of crop tops? Will you be picking some up any time soon?

The Fashion Post #4: Calling All Cats

Fun and quirky printed tees are some of my favourite things to wear. Easy to style and comfortable to wear, what more could you want? Cats are being featured on Forever 21's a lot recently, so here's the verdict.

1. Forever 21 Cat Mirror Compact £2.40

This dainty compact mirror is great for just throwing in your handbag, and for £2.40 you can't really say no. This adorable cat print is also on a makeup bag and some tweezers, so you could have all matching accessories!

2. Forever 21 Let's Get Cray Muscle Tee £10.50

Muscle tees in my opinion, are a Summer staple, so why not stock up on a few ready for the warmer months? Forever 21's tops are always such brilliant prices too, ideal if you're on a budget. This top worn with a bandeau underneath and some denim shorts is a stunning laid-back outfit, great for hot sunny days.

3. Forever 21 Multicoloured Cat Muscle Tee £10.50

Forever 21 really are making it easy for us aren't they? Another muscle tee, I hear you say? Yes. I really do have a soft spot for them! Loose-fitting and this crazy cat print makes this top even better. A mixture of different types of cats in a spectrum of colours will add a pop of colour to a simple look.

4. Forever 21 Cat Tee £7.25

If you're not one for bright colours or bold prints, but want to jump on the 'cat tee' bandwagon, then this is for you. A plain white top with a lovely black cat print, and as you can see in the picture looks fabulous with a neon skater skirt and would suit some pastel shade jeans.

5. Forever 21 Cat Phone Case £7.40

There's so many phone cases out there but I think this one stands out from the crowd. It comes in lovely blue and pink shades and the cat has a little bow tie as well. Aww Anyway, enough aww-ing over a phone case! This is definitely one to add to your collection and I love how it's ears stick out at the top. This will add character to your phone and protect it at the same time.

The Fashion post #3: Cute Makeup Bags

I love to store my everyday makeup and beauty essentials in a makeup bag, but I find it quite hard to come across one with a cute design so I thought I'd show you some of my favourite picks to save you some time.

Forever 21 French Bulldog Cosmetic Purse £8.40
This cosmetic purse would be perfect for storing your things in for a few days away, or even keeping on your dressing table. The cute bulldog print is hard to resist and the mint green shade is very suitable for Spring. Very similar to the Ted Baker Ditsy Dog print makeup bags only with a much purse-friendly price tag!

Cath Kidston Daisy Rose Cosmetic Bag £12
I love all Cath Kidston designs but this one really stood out to me. It's pretty, dainty floral design on a wipe-able surface is ideal to house all your on the go makeup and beauty products. It's a lovely handbag friendly-size so you won't need to take nearly everything out just to fit it in.

Initial Wash Bag by Alphabet Bags £20
Simple but great for those who want an adorable beauty bag that will stand out from the crowd and it doesn't have a crazy print or bold colour in sight. Excellent for throwing a few hair and makeup bits in if you're in a rush to work or you've finished a session at the gym.

Topshop Fluro Plastic Makeup Bag £8
Spring isn't all about pastels and floral print. So why not mix it up a bit and go for a neon bag? Small and easy to carry a few bits and bobs around with you when you're having a 'cba' kinda day. This quirky little bag will attract attention, but in a good way.

River Island White Perspex Colour Block Makeup Bag £13
If you're someone who carries a lot of things around with you, then listen up. See-through so there's no way you'll lose anything in there and light-weight too. Great for busy days when you're on the go but you want to keep organised too.

So here are my favourite choices. What are yours?

The Fashion Post #2: Spring Clean Your Wardrobe

Lets face it, our wardrobes have seen better days and Spring is the perfect time of year to chuck those old jeans and worn-out shoes and replace them with some brighter picks.
Sometimes our wardrobes can get a bit dark and dull looking in the colder months, but the perfect way to add a bit pop in your wardrobe is to invest in some pretty pastels.

H&M Ballet Pumps £7.99
These simple ballet pumps are the perfect Spring shoe. This nude shade will go with lots of different outfits too, now all you need is a pair of pastel coloured jeans, a baggy top, a cute blazer and you're ready to go!

Newlook Cream Lace Burnout Over-Sized Top £8.99
This top is very easy to style and over-sized tops are all the rage at the moment. Their laid-back look is perfect for this time of year and looks lovely tucked into some high-waisted jeans. The lace effect adds something a bit different to the top and it stands out from your regular over-sized tee.

Zara Shopper With Braided Handles £39.99
This bag is at the top of my lust list at the moment, big enough to hold everything you need (including laptops and iPads). Easy to style, you can either carry it by its handles or use the shoulder strap for a more casual look. Brilliant for work-aholics or busy bloggers on the go. This is a must have.

Topshop Ponte Notch Neck Jacket £40
We've ditched out coats but sadly it's not yet warm enough for short-sleeved t-shirts at the moment, so this lightweight jacket is ideal. If bright pink is too bold for you, there are some other shades but personally I think this is a gorgeous colour and would brighten up any dull outfits.

Next A Postcard From Brighton Jumper £45
Baggy jumpers look stunning with a tight-fitting plain vest underneath. This captivating pastel yellow shade is fantastic for Spring and will make a plain vest look stylish and elegant. Pair it with some skinny jeans or some leggings and there you have a lavish but relaxed Spring outfit.

The Fashion Post #1: Topshop Statement Pieces

Topshop always have a huge variety of jewellery to choose from, and when your outfit needs a little va-va-voom, their statement pieces are perfect to brighten up any plain dresses or you can even pair them with a baggy jumper and some jeans.

Stone and Spike Ring £8.50
This bold ring is bound to stand out from the crowd, with its bright neon pink. Perhaps you've forgotten to paint your nails or your outfit is a bit dull, pop this baby on and you're bound to feel ten times better.

Lux Triangle Collar £16.50
If you don't feel comfortable wearing bright neon shades, then listen up, this one's for you. Simple but effective and it will transform any old top, bringing it bang up to date.

Mixed Stone Collar £25
Now for the loudest out of the bunch. It just simply screams "look at me, look at me!". This, being the daring of the picks, is best for sprucing up your wardrobe and is without a doubt a Spring/Summer staple.
