Outfit of the day and a blogging break

Recently my blogging schedule has gone out of the window and I've decided to take a bit of a blogging break. This could be for a couple of days, a couple of weeks or even a few months. I won't go into too much detail but I think I need a bit of me-time, and a step away from social media. It won't be forever, I absolutely adore blogging and the escape it provides me. But I need to put myself first sometimes.

In case you didn't know, I've been working for The Nottingham Post for the past four weeks and because of this, I've featured in their newspaper and on their website a couple of times. If you're interested, you can view my features here and here. I quite like the outfit that I put together for their "fashion blogger" segment so decided to showcase it on my blog.

I do apologise about the photo. It's no secret that I'm useless when it comes to taking outfit photos. But the sun was shining so I definitely made the most. I've recently been adoring midi skirts as I find them flattering and classy. I'd be eyeing up this one from Matalan for ages so when I saw it in the sale, I knew I had to snap it up. I also love the fact that it's pink too.

Top: Matalan

WIWT | They say we're too young for love but I'm catching feelings

Shirt: Primark

Shorts: Matalan

Necklace: Primark

Green nails: L'Oreal Go Neon Pop in Wasabi Hint*

Gold nails: Models Own Hed Kandi in Bora Bora*

Another outfit of the day? Oh you poor souls. The reason for this one is because of the necklace. I love statement necklaces under collars and have done for a while. But you know, I've been waiting for payday to show its little face before I could "invest" in one. The one I'm wearing above is from Primark and it cost me the grand total of £1 - not much of an investment there. It was in the sale (there's nothing quite like a Primark sale, is there?!) and it was reduced from a mear £3. I highly recommend checking out the bargainous store as they have a lot of cute statement necklaces in there at the moment. This one, I believe, adds an "edge" to the dainty blouse and the neon really "pops" and catches your eyes. The shorts are from the back of my wardrobe and I haven't wore them in yonks. I bought them from Matalan a good two years ago and I absolutely love them paired with this blouse (the blouse the Spice Girls have touched I must add). As for my nails, aren't they pretty?! This is my favourite nail combination at the moment - beautiful.

Do you love statement necklaces? What's your favourite nail combination?

Summer Outfits & New Shoes

Once again I have another fashion post for you. I say fashion but yet again I must say that I'm not aware of fashion and I just wear what I feel comfortable in and what I like. If you're from the UK then you probably know about this beautiful weather we've been having recently - it's been gorgeous. But unfortunately, I haven't gone summer shopping yet so I've had to recycle some out clothing and these are a few looks that I've come up with.

L-R: Outfit 1:

Cardigan - Warehouse

Dress - New Look

Shows - New Look

Outfit 2:

Cardigan - Warehouse

Top - Primark

Shorts - Matalan

Shoes - New Look

Outfit 3:

Blazer - New Look

Skirt - New Look

Shoes - New Look

I also bought some new shoes yesterday. I've been in need of some new heels for a long time and as soon as I saw these, I couldn't say no. As you can see from the outfits above, they go with pretty much anything and I can't wait until next week to wear them out. They're super comfy so far but I guess a proper night out will give them the full test. You can view them here and after student discount they were just £16.19 instead of £17.99 which is a complete bargain!

Mini Haul & Update

Today I went to see my mum and we decided to go out to do a bit of shopping! I'm going abroad in a few weeks time and I virtually have no clothes that are suitable for going abroad so we decided to invest in a few! Matalan have an incredible sale on at the moment (up to 70% off) so both of these items are from there.

L-R Maxi Dress £10, Shorts £3.

Both of these were such a bargain that I just couldn't resist (my mum bought me the shorts though - thank you)! And I also got a plain black vest top to go with the shorts however I didn't photograph it because it's really not that interesting. Both outfits look completel gorgeous on and I really recommend everyone to get a black, jersey maxi dress because they're really slimming and perfect for summer!

When it comes to summer I don't like wearing powder products so I bought a Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush. My sister has one of these and I love them - I think the formula and pigmention is spot on. This is in the colour Coral and once again, perfect for summer!

If you're wondering where I've been and why I haven't been blogging it's because I've been in Cornwall on holiday. I had a wonderful time but it's good to be home and in a real bed (I went camping)! The winner of my giveaway will be announced very soon - I'm hoping for next week so good luck to everyone and thank you for entering, I really appreciate it!

I'm also expecting my A-Level results really soon and quite frankly, I'm petrified! So if I don't blog before Thursday (I'm sure I will) then good luck to everyone who is waiting on results and I wish you all the best of luck.
