Holiday | Spain | Photos
Spain is such a beautiful country, from the beautiful natural scenery  to the amazing architecture everything about the country is unique. These are some of my favourite photos from the trip that show how stunning the place really is.

OOTD | Holiday | Dress

Last week I was in Spain on a school trip, the weather was lovely aside from a little bit of rain.One of the days we visited 'El Capricho De Gaudi' one of the buildings designed by Gaudi, the famous spanish architect, I decided to wear my loose floral dress (Brandy Melville), with my studded sandals and trusty studded bag (both topshop), and my 'please return to tiffany&co' necklace. I had my khaki jacket (also Brandy Melville) for when it rained as its very thin and comfy, the whole thing was very comfortable and perfect for the warm weather.

Music | The xx
Last week I was lucky enough to see the xx live at the Manchester International Festival. It was one of the best days of my life- I know you may be thinking 'Its just a band it can't have been that good' but anyone who knows me knows seeing bands live is what makes me happiest, and the xx are one of my favorite bands. The performance was stunning, it was in a secret location (meaning we had to go underground to get there and we still don't know where it was). There was less than 50 people there to see them so it was a very intimate performance. The room gradually got bigger until the walls fell down to reveal we were in an old warehouse, the whole thing was truly amazing. Photography wasn't allowed, I wish I could have taken photos to show you how amazing it really was. I still cant believe I was within touching distance of them! If you haven't listened to their stuff before you really need to ! My favourite songs are Crystalised and Heart Skipped A Beat so I really recommend you check them out!

Fashion | Summer Haul

A couple of weeks ago I went to London (I know I'm SO late uploading this- I'm sorry) and I got my 'summer' wardrobe. I say 'summer' because although this is what I'll be wearing throughout summer I'm sure quite a few of you wouldn't consider this summery. Because I bought quite a bit (oops) this is going to be a pretty long post, if you don't want to bother reading it just flick through the photos and I'm sure you'll get the general idea. 
Okay so this top - do I even need to explain myself? Everyone loves mean girls, and if you haven't seen it you NEED to, just once,or twice or fifty billion times in my case. I'm not 100% sure how much this was it was either £18 or £22 but don't hold me to it, from Brandy Melville
I really love this top. I've been wanting a tshirt with a ribcage on for literally years i just could never find the right one but i finally found it! Up close its a floral print which I think is really cute. Also either £18 or £22, from Brandy Melville.
 The back of this top has a really cute cutout pattern on it but the pattern didn't show on camera when I'm not wearing it so hopefully you'll see the back in a future OOTD or something but i just loved this top. Either £18 or £22 (Sorry I know I'm being rubbish with the prices!), from Brandy Melville.
I've seen this top quite a few times on tumblr an instagram and always thought it was cute so when i saw it in store i just had to buy it, its longer than the other tops and the sleeves are lower so i wear a crop top underneath it to show a little bit less skin.  Again its either £18 or £22, from Brandy Melville.
This ones a little bit shorter than the others. I don't usually go for short tops because I'm not keen on my stomach but I thought its summer and I can wear it with high waisted leggings or shorts so I got it anyway, from Brandy Melville.
This one definitely is cropped but the daisy pattern was too cute to resist and I thought I needed at least one top that was actually summery. This one was £28 from Urban Outfitters.
This dress didn't come out very well on camera, it's much more of a skater shape when you try it on, i just loved the cut out, cross over back and thought it would be really cute for sunny days and going out on holiday. I'm not sure of the price on this one, its from Brandy Melville.
This is a very loose flowy dress, which i think will be perfect for on holiday, i loved the print and the shape. the back is very low and pretty but it didn't show up properly on camera so I havent got a proper photo of the back (sorry). it's from Brandy Melville (again)
I love this jacket so much, it is my new favourite thing in the world. its so comfy and actually has pockets which so many jackets seem to being lacking. I just love it and it goes with all the other things I bought. Also from Brandy Melville (of course)
These shoes make me so incredibly happy. I tried them on in the manchester store but they didn't have my size ( I nearly bought two sizes too small, that wouldn't have ended well) so you can imagine how happy I was when they had my size in the london store! They were in the sale £30 reduced from £55 from Topshop.
This watch, I have been wanting this watch for SO long! I just love it so much, I kept saying I was going to buy it and I FINALLY did, thank god! It was £40 from urban Outfitters which I think is a bargain for a casio watch. 
Even though I managed to buy a lot I only actually got it from three shops, as you can probably tell these are my three favourite shops, and there is only one Brandy Melville in the UK which is in London, thats why I bought so much in there, I had to get it whilst I could. I'd been saving a lot for this shopping trip I wouldn't normally spend so much! I got a couple of other things in the sale in Urban Outfitters which were a candle (which you can see in the top photo) and a nailvarnish (which isn't in the top photo as I've already given it to a friend as a present) but as this haul is already pretty long I decided to leave them out. I also got THE most amazing black leggings from Brandy Melville (they're in the top photo too) and they are SO unbelievably soft! I kept the bags because they were so cute, especially the topshop one!
