bargain of the week...

all i can say is girls...get yourself to your nearest river island ASAP!

i have been eyeing up this dress for the past couple of weeks but for £39.99 i thought it was abit steep for a dress that i might only wear once or twice.

HOWEVER, i was checking out the river island website (trying to put of revising!) and saw that this dress had been reduced to £15! i was so shocked but i didn't really want to spend the £3-4 postage and packaging so i waited until i could check out the river island in my town...

Guess what? i got the last one (& it was in my size :O ) it's fate i tell yaaaa:

now it may not be to everyone's taste but i really do love it! :) it has some puffiness on the shoulders and a gold chain detail at the top of the front of the dress. it reminds me of one of those vintage tea-dresses and i would probably pair them with some black ankle heel boots!

this wasn't the only item of clothing on offer, they have reduced many of their summer stock by £10 or £15 so i would definitely recommend checking river island out at the moment! some of their stuff is abit "hit and miss" but i honestly think that they have some of the best summer clothes on the high street at the moment :)

outfit of the night!

firstly, happy belated birthday mum! it was her birthday on sunday and we went out for a meal in the evening to celebrate! :) sorry about the delayed post, i have just been so busy this week...

i know this probably isn't the most exciting post but i thought i would do it anyways! my outfit is rather plain but i didn't want to dress to extremely as the restaurant we went to was quite quiet and relaxed :)

a new summery purchase :)

Testing out the maxi...

hey girls :)! sorry for the lack of makeup and untidy hair but i just really wanted to show you all, this lovely new maxi dress i recently bought :)

it cost £26.99 and is from republic, a shop i wouldn't normally go into but when i saw this dress in the window, i knew i had to have it!

i will most probably only wear it when i'm on holiday or going to the beach but at that price, i don't feel as if i have to wear it everyday!

anyways hope you liked this short (and rather uninteresting post!)... and apologies for the awful photo again!

Take care,

hairband obsession?

well i don't know about you girls but i know i'm absolutely loving all the hairbands that are out at the moment...

this particular one is from asos and was around £6. i just love how they can change the entire look of an outfit and provide some much needed volume to my hair!

so my question to you is, which shop has the best selection of hairbands? i'm definitely going to have to stock up for summer!

Take care,

Char ♥

OOTD :)

i love her style!

People's style i admire...

Blake Lively

Mischa Barton

Sienna Miller

Jessica Szohr

Whitney Port

Olivia Palermo

Pixie Lott

Mary kate Olsen

I think all these women are absolutely gorgeous & I would do anything for their wardrobes! My favourite looks are bohemian but i also love skinny jeans and blazers. I don't like to copy other people's style but i like to try and take their look and adapt it to make it look abit individual, i.e- wearing a blazer but with a scarf or a brooch etc :) Mix it up abit!

Take care,

Char ♥
