As I mentioned last post I did some online shopping, now call me old fashioned but its never quite the same as picking something up, trying it on and then paying for it at a cash register, you just don't get the same thrill! But needs must and as I had been too busy to get to the shops this was the chosen method. I stumbled on the George website through an item recommended in Grazia (love this magazine! I'm a subscriber and look forward to that Tuesday delivery!)




The item was a neon orange skirt for £12, no sooner had I read about it on the train, I had tapped it up

Mint magic, H&M sales!

Another digital detox for me, its been a crazy few weeks of work (can't complain) but I'm back in the swing of things now and plenty of blog inspiration gained. Finally cleared out my wardrobe, the bi annual seasonal change over and de-clutter, feel so much better now! I'll be sharing some of more storage/spring-clean tips soon.

But more importantly, we had a glimpse of summer and I finally was able to get shopping, online at least, and took advantage of last weeks H&M flash sale.

One dress, two ways (at least!)

One thing I picked up was a mint fit and flare dress as above. Strictly speaking its not the exact dress but very similar (no pleats). I can't find it online anymore as it's sold out, but it was only £12 and they did it in bright pink. Anyhow, this is from forevernew.com and there is a similar lace one in Topshop. What I am getting at though is the lovely colour and shape. I have styled it here for a formal occasion with nude accessories and then for a more casual event with flats.
I love that handbag, think it has a slight tribal feel. I hope to get a good few wears this summer!

H&M bargain bikini

I also couldn't resist this bikini, a steal at £12. I know my H&M size (they can be a little snug!) so its fits perfectly. I would style with a simple black or white beach dress/playsuit. Now all I need to do is book that holiday...
