OOTD: iKrush

*This isn't the first time that my blog has featured iKrush, my previous post around a year ago featured their £1 dresses which they sold at the time! The online fashion retailer really is full of gorgeous on trend items at such affordable prices, and a couple of months ago I was thrilled to receive the 'skort' which is featured in my outfit of the day... for any of you who aren't familiar with the skort, it is basically a pair of shorts which is made to look like a skirt. When I got my skort I wanted to wait for the perfect occasion to wear it, and since the weather was so beautiful at the weekend, I was attending a barbeque and thought this little outfit would be perfect!

 I'm wearing: Phoenix floral print skort in black, WAS £19.99 NOW £9.99, c/o ikrush.com| Cream chiffon cami, £20, Topshop

What I particularly like about the skort is that from behind, they really just look like a pair of shorts, and from the front, the cross over design gives the impression of a skirt. The floral design is also not only really summery, but is really on trend this season. They are also super comfy to wear, although I would have to say that although these fit me perfectly, the item is a size 10 and I am usually an 8, so you may want to consider the smaller fitting nature if you want a pair!

The skort was originally selling for £19.99 which I think is such an affordable price to pay anyway, but now it is in the sale for just £9.99! I definitely recommend that you grab yourself one before they sell out... you can find the skort HERE.

I should also mention that although I wore my skort with a loose chiffon cami and jelly sandals, that on the iKrush website, you can also find a matching blazer to go with the skort if you would prefer a cute little two piece, which are very popular at the moment! However if you're not a fan, I would still recommend you visit their website at http://www.ikrush.com/ and check out all of the gorgeous clothes they have!

Birthday Shopping!

One of the things I love about birthdays is the presents and receiving money to buy those bits and bobs you've had your eye on for months but couldn't afford, I didn't really get that many presents this year so at the weekend I had one of the best shopping days I have had in ages, and really treated myself ! Luckily I didn't spend all of my money, so hopefully another shopping day will be on the cards in the near future!

Tiara silver & cubic zirconia ring- £40- Pandora| Tile stitch  leather crossbody bag- £38- Topshop| MOTO Authentic ripped skinny jeans- £45- Topshop| Petite floral trousers- £24- Dorothy Perkins| Fuchsia underwear set- £4- Primark

Okay so don't think I go and buy bra and nickers for my birthday presents :') I just picked this cute little set up because firstly, I seriously have no matching sets of underwear! And secondly, I don't know if you have noticed, but in Primark at the moment they have so many gorgeous underwear sets for just £4, bargain! This is seriously no joke, I made 3 trips to Topshop and tried at least 10 pairs of jeans on before deciding on these ones, and although I think they are a little pricey for Topshop jeans I fell in love with them! Although I have 2 pairs of 'Joni' jeans already, I just couldn't resist buying these as I wanted to venture into the world of ripped jeans...The bag I  bought has been something I have wanted for quite a while now, I just love it! I was honestly a little bit heartbroken when Topshop website told me it was "no longer available" but I managed to find 3 of them left in store thank goodness! If  you're a fan of comfortable style I highly recommend these Dorothy Perkins trousers, although they feel like you're wearing your pj's they look absolutely gorgeous and so summery! I would say though they are quite loose fitting so you might be like me and need a smaller size than usual.

Finally, I bought this beautiful Pandora ring, they really are one of my absolute favourite jewellery stores as they always have such gorgeous and pretty items that are such high quality! What have you all been buying recently? Leave me a comment below! :)

OOTD: jeans & jellies

I'm wearing: White crochet cami, New Look| Moto mid stone wash Joni jeans, £36, Topshop| Silver glitter jelly sandals, £6, Primark

I never usually have time to put one of these posts together as I tend to get dressed very quickly and I'm off out as I am usually late and have no time to take pictures of what I'm wearing! Today though the weather is still beautiful thankfully, even if it is a little too hot, (best not complain) and I will be spending my day in town, so I have opted for my favourite comfy jeans, although I'm sure I will begin to regret this choice as the day gets hotter. I have also chosen to wear one of my favourite cami's, I actually picked this up in New Look sale 4 years ago for just £2 and it has made an appearance in my summer outfits ever since, thrifty or what?! I just love this, as a loose floaty cami is perfect for warmer weather, and the crochet detail is so cute and very on trend at the moment. Finally I have thrown on my beloved jelly sandals which instead of buying £20 Juju jellies, I managed to pick these up a couple of months ago for just £6 in Primark! Surprisingly they actually are very comfy, I just love how these have come back into fashion because I adored mine when I was younger!

What do you think of my outfit? What would be your perfect summer outfit? Leave me a comment below! :)

Happy 19th Birthday To Me!

Just a little life update! Yesterday I celebrated my 19th Birthday, wow I am getting OLD. Although when you actually see the pictures from my birthday you could easily be mistaken for thinking that this was the birthday of a 9 year old child, just another teen not wanting to grow up! Holy moly, this is my last teenage year... anyway... I celebrated my birthday mainly this weekend with my boyfriend who treated me to a weekend in London, including a trip to London Zoo (my favourite place ever) and a shopping day! On my actual birthday I also went for lunch and shopping with my dad in York, followed by a little tea party with the rest of my family.

Okay, so here are a couple of pictures from my birthday, in the way of gifts my dad bought me my first proper camera which I am so excited about as I can now finally start to take more professional pictures for my blog! My mum gave me money to spend on whatever I wanted and typically for me everything I wanted was either sold out or not in my size, fantastic. But she did get me a little surprise goodie bag from the Disney Store, always a good call, and filled it with a whole load of pink, fluffy and admittedly childish presents which I absolutely loved! I also managed to persuade my mum to buy me this gorgeous Disney Fairies birthday cake, who doesn't love Tink? If you are wondering why I have 3 birthday cakes, no I am not a heffa, my dads girlfriend baked me the cutest pink cupcakes and my close friend also made this magnificent chocolate finger/ malteasers/ m & m chocolate masterpiece for my birthday!

My final few pictures are of my prezzies, I have already told you about my Disney gifts, but my boyfriend also treated me to 2 MAC lippies in Diva and Cyber which are bold unusual shades of oxblood red and deep purple which I absolutely love and have wanted for ages! My mum also bought me the most amazing pink glittery MAC lipstick in Milan Mode, if you are very girly like me, you will adore this shade. The skirt I have added is from Topshop, one of the few things I picked up on my trip to Oxford Street, another favourite place of mine! I instantly grabbed this when I saw it as I have long been looking for a vintage style mini skirt and this one with a scallop hem adds a modern twist, the material also has a plastic sheen which is just amazing, I highly recommend you bag one of these while you can!  Finally, the image from the zoo is of the penguin pool, my absolute favourite attraction at the zoo, a bitter- sweet memory of my visit, as at feeding time I magnificently embarrassed myself by passing out due to the hot weather, I guess sometimes you've just got to laugh at yourself! Ah Well. Aside from the drama I had such a perfect birthday, now for the big 2 0, hmmm. P.S. My birthday cake isn't on fire, I just insisted on having 19 candles...
