Summer Playlist

Summer is fast approaching and I love nothing more than having 3 months of Sun, sand and fun after an entire year of working hard. 

One of my favourite things to do is update my I-pod every couple of months with the best new songs and summer tunes are my absolute favourites, they're always upbeat and just sound summery, perfect for blasting in the car or at the beach. 

I've really been branching out into different sounds over the past couple of months and these are the top tunes to be gracing my I-pod for this summer. So lets get started! 

I remember watching her for the first time on 'Wizards of Waverly Place' on Disney Channel years ago and when I saw she'd released a single I thought "Oh, she's probably going to have the same sort of child-friendly sound a lot of the Disney Channel stars have when they release music" Boy, was I wrong. Her sound is so full of beats and really catchy and just a perfect uplifting party tune and if I had never heard of her I would never of guessed she was from Disney Channel. 

I've never really been a huge fan of Calvin Harris or Ellie Goulding but after hearing 'Drinking From The Bottle' by Calvin Harris I've been more careful to keep an eye out for some other tracks by him and this collaboration with Ellie Goulding does not dissapoint. After this track I definitely love Ellie Goulding a lot more. What I love about this track is it reminds me of music festivals and summer in London ( Which is a weird combination but still). 

I've always loved Taylor Swift and feel all the abuse she gets in the media isn't very fair. Music is a form of personal expression and what she chooses to write about should not be slated by everyone even if they do think it's repetitive. This track is one of my favourite's by Taylor because it shows a different style than we're used to. It also gives me goose bumps because it's celebrating being young which is something that always makes me feel good. 

That's all my summer favourites! Leave a comment below telling me your go to summer tunes and you never know they might make it on to my I-pod. 

Until next time

Want, Want, Want!

Hey!

So you know that feeling when you discover a brand new website and you think to yourself "Where have you been all my life?" well this exact thing happened to me. Missguided.co.uk is my new top favorite website at the moment and the best thing is you can create a wish list so you don't have to go searching through all the pages to find that one top you were saving for later.

Holey Diamond Quilted Jacket- £13- www.missguided.co.uk

Yes, I have just recently added this beauty to my wardrobe. I was so happy because I needed a good jacket and this was 50% off! 

This really was worth the money even if I had payed full price. The quilted material is so soft and perfect for keeping you warm on those cool days and nights. It's stops at my hips which is a must for a short girl like me as I don't drown in it and it cuts me off at my legs and makes them look instantly longer. Also blue is my favorite colour and it also works for this seasons colour blocking trend, 

Sadly I do not have the money to buy the other things on my MissGuided wish list but I will show you them and you can feel free to drool along with me. 

Ellva Sheer Skater Skirt in Mint-£14.99- www.missguided.co.uk

You can never go wrong with a classic skater skirt. Also, the colour mint is a huge trend this summer that I am trying to incorporate into my wardrobe. This skirt is great for adding that pop of colour into your style and goes great with a pair of nude heels and a pale pink sleeveless shirt or even a slouchy t-shirt.

Saitta Floral Stripe Vest top- £11.99-  www.missguided.co.uk




You can't beat a good sale. I'm not usually one for sexy clothes so this top is perfect for me. I love the cute girly pattern and the fresh bright colours just looking at it makes me instantly happy and it will hang just right of me and not cling to my unflattering areas. It also makes me kinda think about icecream...is that a little bit weird? No, well that's cool then. Until next time

Tropical heat

It's time to get serious about this (which is extremely ironic as I am probably the least serious person you will ever meet). So I've recently got into reading different blogs mostly on fashion and beauty and realised how seriously lacking my own is. I have literally being sitting at this computer for hours trying to make my blog remotely resemble some of my favourites, however I am a bit of a noob at computer layouts but summer is fast approaching so I'll just continue to post and will hopefully find someone to help me get the layout right.

So, summer 2012 is here! Especially in Northern Ireland it was 30 degrees (Celsius) today and everyone must have stepped outside and thought "Did I sleep swim to Spain last night?". I was seriously not prepared for this sudden tropical heat and I pulled out my drawers and looked past the many jumpers and jeans to try and find something summery and realised my wardrobe needed a serious summer makeover. In the end I settled for the classic white denim shorts from last season collection at Pilot and a Green floaty vest top.

 The floaty top really suited my figure as I am not the skinniest person by any means but I covered my worst feature and showed off my lovely legs which instantly made me look slimmer. For a classic look you only need to put one thing  on show at a time whether it be your legs, chest or stomach showing too much flesh when not in a bikini can ruin a fresh and flirty look. Pair these with a pair of your favourite flats and you have the perfect summer outfit that doesn't need to break the bank. Add a necklace and a few bracelets and your ready for anything.
