The ASOS Dress

Everybody knows that I have a serious ASOS addiction. I always find myself browsing their app whenever I have a spare minute. I have worn the grey swing dress that I bought a few months ago to death (see post: The Busy Week) and decided to treat myself to a more summer-y version. They're only £18 so there was no excuse not to. 

Sleeveless Swing Dress - ASOS, £18
It's so swingyyyyy! And so comfy and cool which is perfect during this amazing heat wave we're having. Fingers crossed it lasts!

I ordered the coral and jade versions but was very strict with myself and sent the coral one back (being able to return items for free is one of the many reasons shopping with ASOS is so appealing). 

What do you think?

The Holiday Blues

I've just got back from a lovely holiday with my Mum, Ricky, Ben (my brother) and Abbie (his girlfriend) in Portugal and now I have a serious case of the holiday blues!
Holidays abroad are always the perfect opportunity to grab some fashion bargains that you won't see everyone else wearing. But be careful - its easy to get carried away and buy things that you will only wear on holiday then will find its way to the back of the wardrobe once you get home. This is what I picked up whilst I was away:

Tie Dye Scarf




This little beauty was only 3 Euros (approx £2.60) - an amazing bargain! Since it's a very chic take on the tie dye trend, it will still be wearable after all those rainbow-bright tie dye tees are ditched. 

Jelly Shoes




I am forever struggling to find cute black flats that don't break the bank. These were only 10 Euros (approx £8.65) and are so comfortable! Although they're jelly shoes, the stylish shape makes them wearable back in jolly old England. I love the leopard print soles peeking out as well.


Here's a couple of holiday snaps for your enjoyment...
