Meet my fave summer cover-up

The weather is so lush at the moment, plus i'm actually going out later this evening, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to get an outfit post done! 

Meet my new giraffe shirt; I fell in love with it the first time I saw it in H&M, but i've never really been one to wear anything like this - I like fitted cardigans/ jackets, or just go bare armed and brave the weather. But this was way too cute to not purchase! 

I've been wearing it constantly with every possible clothing combination I can think of, and I will 100% be buying another in the same style (different pattern obviously!) as it's quickly become my new go-to for shoving on over whatever I wear out. 

For this evening I've paired it with a pair of comfy shorts and an off the shoulder floaty top. Both can be bought in a range of colours, I definitely love a white summery top though. 

To try dress the whole look up a tiny bit I've added the gold cuff bracelet plus this necklace which adds to my safari-esque look I have going on with the shirt. I don't usually wear bracelets but this ones so simple and can go with pretty much anything.

Chunky sandals are 100% my staple shoe of the summer, I had my white ones that I practically lived in last year, and this year these are my new faves. I'm quite short so they add a little bit of height without wearing stilettos out. They're also great for this evening as they suit both day and night time.

I'm so fancy - Slogan sweat and tee

I'm getting so bad at keeping up with my blog atm, so I'm super sorry about how overdue this outfit post is! I promise i'm going to start blogging more again! 

Okay so first off, my bestest friend got me this Missguided crop tee for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I'm going to uni in September to study fashion styling, so this is honestly the perfect top for me, it's super comfy and a really thoughtful present. 

Due to it still being pretty cold, i'm still living in cosy jumpers. So when I saw this ASOS sweat I HAD TO buy it! I'm not sure if I can call it a talent, but knowing every lyric to Fancy by Iggy is definitely my idea of impressive - obviously I needed the sweater. 

I also got some super cute new Topshop shoes for day or night, plus a going out bag since I've been out a lot more than I expected - being 18 is fab, but also very expensive. Fave thing about the bag is the texture, definitely one of my top purchases this year so far. 

I can't forget my Zara shorts, they were a birthday present from my dad (when he didn't want to contribute towards my tattoo). Their Trafaluc collection is always so amazing, and these are so me - monochrome, comfy and stylish.

However, my number 1 item of clothing right now is my quilted jacket from H&M! I wear it constantly, and it's my go to for a night out - It ties around the strap of all my bags so I don't have to lug about a jacket all evening, plus it's so warm when leaving in the early hours!

UH HUH HONEY - Chapman's peak/ Parlotone's concert

For anyone who regularly reads my blog, you'll know that on new years day I visited my fave place (Chapman's peak) completely hungover, and stood freezing in my bra while Damien took photos.. not a very happy bunny! So today on our way to a concert we drove past, sober, and got some photos of our own. 

Sigma's - Nobody to love, video actually starts off at Chapman's peak (Hence the post title), random fact! But honestly, anyone who ever visits SA should 100% do the drive!

I'd never heard of the Parlotone's before, so when my sister bought us tickets for their concert in Kirstenbosch I was very skeptical. We got to the botanical gardens and I was super surprised with the amount of people that turned up! 

View from the stage

 

The Parlotone's are a South African rock band, with 4 members (2 quite attractive in real life: not what I had seen on the internet!) and I actually had such a fab evening! Their music is definitely worth checking out if you haven't heard them before! 

Obviously we had to take some family selfies!

Plus some other photo's of us all.. 

I hope everyone has had a great start to 2015!

Only 9623km away from England!

November Wish List

Image definitely reflects your personality, and I think creating a wish list gives people an insight into the ideal you. I already have my christmas wishlist ready, but this is about showing you my ideal self!

    1. The first thing on my list is Ted Baker's botanical bloom bikini:

http://www.tedbaker.com/uk/Womens/Clothing/Swimwear/TTEMM-Botanical-bloom-print-bikini-top-Pale-Pink/p/115603-59-PALE-PINK

As some of you already know, I will be spending December/ January in South Africa and having this to wear on the beach would be a dream come true! The print is so delicate, plus the colour would look fab with a tan! I love Ted Baker's collections, especially the printed products. 

    

    2.

http://www.felicefabric.com/simoes-tribal-fit-flare-bodycon-dress/

Recently I have been lusting over this Felice Fabric Tribal fit and flare bodycon, I spotted the dress online when researching brands and completely fell for this beauty! The design is perfection and the colours are super pretty. 

    3. Most people know I LOVE white shoes! Which is obviously why I chose these to go on my wish list! 

 

http://www.harrods.com/product/tribute-croc-sandal/saint-laurent/000000000004542014?p=4542014&cat1=new-shoes&cat2=shoes-women-all

Saint Laurent shoes are timeless, and this pair is gorgeous! The subtle crocodile texture could be easily matched with anything and the style is super diverse. 

    4. Jeans are a staple piece for everyone's wardrobe, and ripped pairs are totally in right now!

http://liquornpoker.myshopify.com/collections/shop/products/liquor-n-poker-mohawk-white-ripped-mom-jean?variant=1005977280

I would 100% pair these with the Saint Laurent shoes and a simple white top. All white = my fave. I really love how the ripped detail isn't large holes, just distressed; which means they can be worn casually or dressed up.

    5. PJ's are an essential, but finding the perfect nightwear can be a challenge! 

http://www.bouxavenue.com/cynthia-spot-teddy--pink--mix/201349-20px

Boux Avenue's Cynthia spot teddy is uber cute and definitely feminine - not your average pair of comfy pyjamas. Garments like this always make you feel confident, fabby for a movie night with a special someone. I'd definitely wear this with cosy knee high socks (cute and warm).

    6. Makeup brushes are definitely an important base to your makeup collection, and having a good set is worth the money. 

http://www.bobbibrown.co.uk/products/2286/Brushes-etc/Organisers/Brush-Sets/index.tmpl

Bobbi Brown's basic brush set has every brush you will need to complete any look. I love the design of these brushes and the simplicity of them. 

    7.  I adore a good matte lipstick, they can last all day and give an edgy finish to any look. I experiment with colours and I think this Illamasqua number is lush!

http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/products/lips/lipsticks/matte-lipstick/corrupt-lipstick

The shade is corrupt and is described as 'warm bright pink', the swatches look fab and the packaging is amazing!

 

    8. My 18th birthday is coming up in a few months, and I've already dropped a few hints to my parents about this little gem. Which girl wouldn't love to have something from Tiffany & Co.?

 

http://www.tiffany.co.uk/Shopping/Item.aspx?fromGrid=1&sku=GRP01703&mcat=148204&cid=287466&search_params=p+1-n+10000-c+287466-s+2-r+-t+-ni+1-x+-lr+-hr+-ri+-mi+-pp+107+14&search=0&origin=browse&searchkeyword=&selectedsku=22993771

They have sooo many amazing designs, but I love this simple band with the brands name on it!

    9. Fur is fab for any occasion, casual or dressy. ASOS never disapoints when it comes to the latest trends, and these metalic shoes with fur detailing are gorgeous!

http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-HOW-WE-DO-Heeled-Sandals/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4331538&cid=19903&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=204&sort=-1&clr=White+mix&totalstyles=1040&gridsize=3





I love how the detailing is at the back rather than over the toe, it offers something different to other pairs available (not that I don't adore them too). But this design is super different and unexpected,they could easily be worn with some jeans or a dress.

    10. Okay the most extravagent item on my wish list HAS to be from my favourite fashion house; Dolce and Gabbana. Their collections are insane and definitely began my interest in fashion.

Owning a piece of their clothing would be completely surreal!  The lace detailing and cut of the dress is utter perfection. The colour is obviously a bonus for me, simple but stunning!
