What I've been buying, what I've already featured and what I'm loving in the summer sales! I'm a bit late with this post as the original plan was to make a sale haul video before I went on holiday, but of course my memory card broke meaning I couldn't film. I REALLY hate techy stuff. But, better late than never I thought I'd show you what I've bought and also whats on my wishlist because if money wasn't an object, I would have so much more!
The ultimate affordable holiday inspo... If you're coming from Instagram and know what this post is about, then all of my outfit links are down below. If you're coming from bloglovin or anywhere else, then I'll explain what the hell this post is about now.
So today I'll be flying to Portugal with my boyfriend for a weeks holiday and its safe to say, I can't wait! I obviously wanted to incorporate my holiday & new summer holiday clothes into my blog but I was unsure how. I thought why not put all of my outfit links into one post so anyone who wanted to shop my outfits easily, can. So this post at the moment will be giving you some links to the different clothes I'll be wearing on my holiday, you can have a browse now but if you want to see them in 'real life' and styled then follow my Instagram as I'll be posting my outfits all week, referring back to this post.
It's such a struggle to find an affordable, pretty bikini that actually fits right. Hopefully this post makes it easy for you to find that perfect bikini if, like me, you've been close to giving up and seriously considering wearing your bra around the pool. Not good.
I don't think buying bikinis is fun for anyone. No matter your shape or size the struggle of finding one that really suits your figure is hard. Whether it's a swimsuit, a bikini set or a tankini the different styles and fits are endless. It's been particularly hard for me because I fall into the DD+ category and you wont find my size in the majority of high street shops likes Primark, New Look, River Island or Topshop. So, they cost a bomb! For me, £50 is not okay to spend on a bikini I'll wear for a couple of days on holiday.
This summer sun is good while it's around and I thought I'd post my summer must haves before it rains again. It's now less than 1 month until I jet off and go on holiday and I'll be getting a few last things, as long as they're affordable! I thought I'd put together another affordable wishlist because I love inspiring myself, and hopefully my readers, to get a new season wardrobe, on a budget.
As you can probably tell from my YouTube videos, I'm trying to make my niche 'affordable fashion'. I've just finished being a sixth form student, but my hours have been cut at work and I'm starting university in September, so I'm making the #skintlife be the best it can be! I'm including 3 of my favourite brands for affordable fashion: New Look, ASOS and Primark.
Are you feeling really de-motivated at the moment? I've been de-motivated for what feels like such a long time. I think it's because I've been studying at sixth form and working in my current job for almost 2 years now and maybe I just need a bit of 'new' in my life. As I'm coming towards the end of sixth form, I'm determined to get some motivation back so here's 5 tips on how to motivate yourself, advice for you and for me I guess.
Everyone LOVES a parcel through the door. Even if you have to chase that damn parcel down the street because the delivery man didn't wait, it's still just as exciting. Now that unboxing hauls are becoming more and more popular the question is - are people loving online shopping way more than in store shopping?
3 ways to style one of summers must have colours, khaki. After sharing my styling tips on springs must have jacket, I thought I'd do another styling post again with three outfits to hopefully give you some style inspiration for the new season.
You can probably tell I haven't had much content on my blog recently and that's because I'm sharing a lot of my hauls over on my YouTube Channel. As we're into the new season (she says writing this whilst it's raining outside) I've been creating quite a few videos on my YouTube channel including some spring wardrobe essentials, unboxings and hauls! I'm hopefully sharing a new video this sunday so don't forget to subscribe!
All the SS16 jackets perfect for the new season, for every different style plus all your need to know discounts. I've just recently posted my 10 spring wardrobe essentials on my YouTube and I thought this would be a good follow up post, talking jackets only. There are so many jackets I'm loving for the new season and here are my top 10 favourites for any kind of style.
Ever since I found my new style, I feel like loads of posts and videos just came into my head and I feel totally inspired right now, far from bloggers block. So after really feeling my new style and confidence in clothes I felt like making everything I buy/own, more 'me'. This is also such a perfect post if you want to get in on some of the new SS16 trends but don't have enough money to buy all new.
I'm feeling very spring inspired so be prepared for plenty of spring themed posts coming your way this month. It's not just my clothes that are getting a refresh, it's my bedroom too. If you haven't yet seen it, I did a New Look Homeware Haul on my YouTube channel (and everything is under £10!).
So here's 5 simple ideas to get your home ready for spring.
Tips on how you can save before you splurge...
How is it even possible to be a shopaholic when your in education and in a part time job? It's not really. I don't remember the last time my wage lasted me the whole month, sad, but true. I've shopped until I dropped over the past year but I have learnt a few things that have helped me save some money, but it's not really saving if you get something else, is it? Let's call it getting more for your money...

For those who are on a budget, my under £15 must haves from New Look and ASOS will set you up for spring. I've already done a spring wishlist if you want to spend a little bit more but honestly most of them are around this price point because yep I'm on a budget too!
5 ways you can turn your Easter eggs into delicious desserts, because what's the fun in eating a boring chocolate egg?
The new spring/summer collections are coming and I can see my saved items filling up fast on websites such as ASOS, River Island and New Look so I thought it was a must that I did another payday wishlist.
Hopefully this gives you a bit of inspo for your spring/summer outfits but if you want more I've also done a post on 3 ways to style springs must have coat and how to find your personal style.
How long does it take to define your personal style? For me, a long time. It's been hard to find what works for me and what doesn't and accepting that I can't wear things that I might want to. I've had my blog for over a year and even though I'm into fashion and have been shopping every weekend since I can remember, somehow I've only just found my own style. Maybe it's because I wanted all the trends, or maybe it's because I wasn't really happy with me, but I'll save that for another post.
The mac/duster style jacket is EVERYWHERE at the moment and this post will show you three different ways to style it. You will have seen this Primark jacket for £23 in my Fashion Try On Haul and I'm so glad I purchased it; it's going to be perfect for my spring wardrobe.
Have you ever thought 'how the hell do you get a job when you need experience to be able to get a job!?' Hopefully this tips post will let you know how. Whether it's to support your university application, to get that apprenticeship, to help you get a full time job or even to get into a new area of work. Getting work experience will make you stand out from the crowd.

The low end and high end beauty products I'm loving so much I need to try out or re-buy. I tend to love simple, easy to use products that make a noticeable difference as I don't spend that much time/money on a beauty routine; I'm sure you all know I'm a clothes lover. Even though I'm no beauty blogger I like to do a few posts when I love a product because if I love it (and I'm so lazy with my make-up) then you might come to love it for a quick fix (yep I did a post on my top 5 beauty products for a quick fix not long a go).
