NEW BUYS: BOHO JEWELS

All 3 Necklaces: Topshop

Summer sales, I love them. In fact any sales in general I love, I just can't get enough. Even if I don't need anything I will always end up leaving a shop with something from a sale, I think I have a problem aha! Anyway, enough rambling. I was in Topshop the other day returning something and I just went over to have a nose at the jewellery sale and to my delight I came across some beauties that I had been searching for for ages.

I can't remember the original prices of these necklaces but I doubt they were over £12, but I managed to get them for £3.50 each. They have a boho, Coachella vibe about them perfect for the festival season layered with chokers and other chains. Pair them with some tiny gold hoop earrings and some gold rings and you're good to go! I can't wait to style these up when I go to Reading Festival next month.

Have you picked up any bargains in the summer sales?

OOTD: LILAC & MINT

Sunglasses: Primark | Top: Charity Shop | Belt: Charity Shop | Skirt: American Apparel | Rings: Accessorize & Primark | Watch: Casio | Sandals: Primark

The sun is out and its booming! I love how it makes everyone so much happier when it's nice out, and I also love being able to go out without having to cover up with a coat or wrap a scarf around you to keep you warm. I had to pop to the post office today to send off some depop orders that I had managed to sell! (check out my depop, username: @toria_adkins) so I threw on this ensemble as a quick outfit but I think it turned out quite nicely! This shirt I managed to find in my local charity shop, its a size 12 which is double what I actually am but I think it looks ok and I thought it was totally cute so I needed to have it at a mere £2. This skirt I got last year as a birthday gift and I have only really started wearing it this summer which is shocking because I actually love it to bits and it goes so well with almost everything I try it on with!

What have you been wearing in the sun? What are your summer essentials?

NEW BUYS: HOLOGRAPHIC SANDALS


Shock, Victoria's bought something from Primark again! I couldn't miss this opportunity though, as I I had been looking at this exact type of shoe on ebay, Lamoda, Public Desire, etc. about to spend £20-£30 pound, when I stumbled upon these beauties in Primark. They look exactly the same, and are probably made of the same quality materials which is a bargain at only £14!

I think these may become my new 'going out' shoes as I just can't seem to hack heels in clubs and pubs anymore. Ive become a 'Flats for the win!' kind of girl lately and with the low, flatform type of heel these will be more than comfortable. I can't wait to style them with fishnet socks and colourful frilly ones too as I'm not that keen on toes haha!

Picked up any bargains recently?

OOTD: THE LEVI SHIRT


Levi Shirt: Charity Shop | Tshirt: Topshop | Jeans: Primark | Boots: Topshop | Necklace: Ebay | Rings: Left River Island, Right Topshop | Watch: Casio | Bag: Topshop

Just come across this ootd that should have been posted ages ago (my hair is considerably shorter now!) I can't remember if there was any reason for me not posting this before but here we go anyway! A casual look for the shops or running errands, as the jeans and shirt are quite laid back and easygoing. I added the slightly heeled boots for a bit more edge and to make it look less like I had jumped out of bed and just thrown anything on. 

A little bit of jewellery on this outfit to fit the less is more vibe. If you add too many accessories to some outfits it can look a tad crazy and over the top so majority of the time I tend to play it safe. This may be a bad thing sometimes as a little crazy can be good from time to time right?

What have you been up to lately? Any holidays?
