Playsuit Wishlist

one//two//three//four//five//six//seven//eight
Now I don’t know about you, but I love a good wish list post and I’m not ashamed to say I had so much fun putting this one together in Photoshop. Playsuits are something that I just do not own enough of, in fact I own one and I feel like now is the time to add to my wardrobe. I think they are great to have as you can dress them up with the right jewellery and some heels or dress them down with tights and boots. I seem to have gone for floral or checked offerings with this list which is strange as I don’t own that many patterned clothes.


Which is your favourite out of the eight that I have chosen? I love them all equally and would love to buy them all! Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Holiday Shoes Haul!

So I showed you my holiday clothes haul and now I am finally back with my holiday shoes haul! I go away in just 13 short days and today is the day I bought the sandals I am taking away with me. All four pairs of shoes I am showing you today are from New Look (as was most things in my holiday clothes haul post too). I think I have a slight obsession but everything is just so cheap it's easy to buy everything from there!

First up are these pumps. I was assured that white was the colour to go for when going on holiday but i'm sure this is just so your legs look more tanned! Unfortunately for me, I do not tan, just burn so the white shoes will not work there magic on my legs. These are super comfy and perfect for days when I will be doing a lot of walking!

New Look - White Lace Up Sports Plimsolls £7.99


Next up we have some white lacy Hi Tops. I LOVE these! They are so so so pretty! And again, super comfy and perfect for days when we are adventuring around the Island of Thassos. We are planning on hiring bikes for the day and exploring the island by cycling so I imagine these are the shoes I will wear for that!

New Look - White Lace Up Hi-Tops £12.99


Next we have possibly my favourite purchase so far! These multi-coloured sandals are just so beautiful! I love everything about them. I love the little charms that dangle from the chains and I love the gold detailing that just adds so much to these sandals. They are perfect! Not something I would usually choose but they just jumped out at me in the shop and I adore them! (I apologise already for so many photos! I just love them).

New Look - Wide Fit Light Blue T-Bar Printed Sandals £22.99




Last but certainly not least we have the second pair of actual sandals I bought. 75% of everything I have bought for this holiday has been mint/green/blue so it just wouldn't be right if I didn't buy sandals to go with the apparent colour scheme, this is where these beauties come in. I love these too and they were a bargain! It was so hard to choose between these and the ones above so I thought, 'why not, i'll just have both'. These have a slight heel to them and have a very sturdy sole which is perfect. Again, the gold detailing is just beautiful and I could not put these back on the shelf, they had to come home with me. The material feels very strong and these are super comfy.

New Look - Turquoise Metal Trim T-Bar Sandals £15.99


So with all these shoes, the only struggle I am set to face is which to wear every day! Let me know which are your favourites in the comments section below!

Holiday Clothes Haul!

Hey guys! Today I have a post i've been wanting to write for a while, my holiday clothes (and accessories) haul! I didn't realise actually how much I had bought until I opened the drawer and pulled everything out into one pile! You may remember seeing some of these items on my Newlook Wish List post! It's quite a photo heavy post so I hope you don't mind! Here goes!

Shorts
I have been searching for a while for the perfect pair of shorts! It's quite difficult as a size 10 won't go over my hips but a size 12 is far too baggy round my waist. However, below are three pairs I have found that fit like a dream!


Dorothy Perkins Bleach Plait Trim Denim Shorts £22

I love the plait detail on these! They fit perfectly and i'm sure I will get a lot of wear out of these both on holiday and at home!


Boohoo Faith Aztec Print Cut Off Denim Hotpants £15

 These shorts are quite high waisted which is normally not something I go for, however the Aztec pattern won me over completely! I adore them! And for only £15 you can't go wrong, I had to have them!


New Look Petite Monochrome Aztec Print Running Shorts £12.99

The material of these shorts is perfect for keeping cool in the Greek summer heat! They are really lightweight and I am really looking forward to wearing these to the beach or on day trips!

Tops
Since I started holiday shopping, I decided that nothing I already own is good enough for my first holiday abroad so I decided to buy all new everything! With this in mind I seem to have bought a LOT of tops! Mostly from New Look I have to admit!

New Look Light Blue Daisy Lace Hanky Hem Crop Top £14.99

This crop top is something that's a little bit out of my comfort zone as I do not usually wear crop tops, however, I thought with the heat of Greece the swing material might help to keep me cool. It is such a pretty top which will encourage me to wear it more!  


New Look Mint Green Button Front Swing Vest £6.99

Again, this is another item I bought with the idea of keeping cool in the heat. It is such a lightweight material that I think is perfect for every day wear!


New Look Mint Green Crop T-Shirt £12.99
 I feel like i'm repeating myself a lot in this post. Another mint item bought with the idea of keeping cool! I wanted something to keep my shoulders out of the sun a little as I am prone to burning so this is perfect! Also something that can be enjoyed both on holiday and at home!


New Look Green Crochet Panel Crinkle Top £17.99

This is one of my favourite purchases. It looks great on and floats really nicely when it hangs. My camera didn't quite capture the colour properly as it is greener than it seems on these photos. I want to wear this top all the time so it's really hard to save just for the holiday!


New Look Mint Green Sleeveless Shirt £12.99

This was more of an 'evening wear' purchase rather than day wear as I feel it will look great tucked into my black bodycon skirt for an evening meal. I have a lot of tops like this in my wardrobe so I new when I saw this it was love.


New Look Purple Tropical Print Kimono £19.99

This kimono is something that I absolutely love! I will probably wear it similar to the model on the New Look website; with a plain white vest/t-shirt and denim shorts! This is a great piece to keep shoulders covered from the hot sun whilst also staying cool with the lightweight material!

Other
I didn't know which section to put these last two items in so here they are. 


New Look Petite Black Crochet Collar Sleeveless Skater Dress £14.99


Close up of collar detail on New Look Peter Pan Collar dress
 I adore this dress! Skater dresses and peter pan collars are both winners in my book so when combined it's love at first sight! I have already worn this dress as I just couldn't resist (naughty!) and I found it was a little too long. I solved this by adding a thin waist belt and folding the dress up a little bit. Being such a short girl it is difficult to find dresses the perfect length that don't end up making me look shorter! 


New Look Mint Green Moulded Triangle Bikini Top £7.99
Oh look! More mint! No need for explanations with this one! A bikini is a holiday essential!

What do you think to my haul? There are more things I need to buy (unbelievable I know) so there may be another holiday clothes haul coming when I purchase the last few things! I will be publishing a shoes and accessories haul shortly too! If I included everything in this it would be such a long post! Which items are your favourites?
