Summer Staples

"Life isn't about getting and having, Its about giving and being."- Kevin Kruse

For a change in England the last few weeks have been scorching and i'm absolutely loving it. Although i'm sat in a muggy office all day through out the week, i like to make sure i make the most of it on my free days. This years antics have included a few beer gardens and lazy sun lounging. Summer is one of my favorite seasons, the sunshine, the positive attitude, the socializing and the summer clothing. But  i always like to have a few staple summer pieces , a few of mine include: 

a good pair of sunglasses, which might i add, i have quite an obsession with purchasing - My sunglasses are from eBay from a china company for about £1.50 (BARGAIN) and the case from River Island for £5.00

These ones are a circle cat eye effect with leopardy print frame and are really on trend at the minute i love how they look on the face.

 A comfy pair of jelly shoes- mine are from ASOS for around the £10 mark

These are one of the most comfiest pair of summer sandals i own, and as it gets hot and sticky its always important to have some breathable shoes so your feet don't get too sweaty. These are perfect for that, and go with almost any outfit.

Some beautiful moisturising lip balms- mine below are a Soap and Glory Smooch operator- Boots, around £5.00 & an EOS balm in passion fruit - eBay about £6.00

I absolutely love the smell of the Smooch Operator, it has a lovely coconut scent and its easy and not sticky to apply. The EOS balm is more on the pricey side but again really moisturising on the lips and has a delicious passion fruit flavor.

Fresh summer scent- Avon Little Pink Dress- £15.00 (picture taken from Google)

 I always get asked what i am wearing when i wear this fragrance, its lovely and sweet and a perfect scent for summertime.

and finally a top summer tune.. this year i have chosen Mr. Probz- Waves as this will be the track i remember for summer 2014.

so please make sure you enjoy your summer with your summer staples, what are your must haves? and remember always apply your sun cream!

So this is lonnnng over due and i apologise for my lack of posts, however i come today with my head in my hands ready to deliver an awesome blog post..

 

Ok that may be a little lie but i will most definitely up date you with the main events of 2014 so far!

 

 

New Year!

My new year plans weren't so planned, in fact it was more like get ready and just see where the night takes us. It just so happened to be a crazy night with some of my close friends which i really enjoyed. It was also the beginning of 2014 were i decided to make some decisions (and were i promised to post more blog's) (so far not so good)!

 

Last Ever Blast Off!

Now this was a big event of 2014, as a big part of my past where a lot of memories were made was closing down forever! It turned out to be a very eventful night where one of our girls went missing for the entire night and turned up at the end of the of night strolling out the men's toilets,where she had fallen asleep. However barring that it was an awesome closing down party. RIP BLAST OFF!(Y)

 

Baby Melissa-Rose xo

This was a huge event of the year so far. My beautiful baby cousin Missy was born. She weighed 8pounds 1oz and was born on the 31st March 2014.
