Where are you Summer?

If like me, you've booked a holiday abroad this Spring or Summer and have suddenly thought "Oh balls! I need some new summer clothes" then look no further. I'm going away at the beginning of June so have started looking for clothes already (bit early but I'd rather be prepared!)

As I am tall and slim, I went straight for Maxi Dresses. They're flattering on all shapes and sizes of women but particularly taller women. I found so many I liked online so I doubt I'll have any trouble there. I found Asos has some really pretty dresses and as they stock dresses from many high street shops, there's so many different styles. You won't be disappointed. 

I then had a look for playsuits. They're so comfortable and really compliment most figures. The baggy bottom half hides any wobbly bits around the hips or stomach while the fitted waistband really emphasises smaller waists. I have a long body so most playsuits are quite tight on the shoulders for me, but the ones that fit I absolutely love. I have long legs so playsuits really show them off. I found that Boohoo have a bigger selection of playsuits than most online shops I looked at. I actually featured one of the playsuits I bought from them in my 2nd Weekly Favourite post. Take a look here.

If playsuits aren't your thing, then a simple hot pant & top combination would go down a treat. Denim shorts are very trendy and can be worn with almost any top! I even go to charity shops, buy a pair of jeans in my size and make my own custom shorts. That way you can tailor them to whatever length/style you like! In the coming weeks I'm going to post a DIY Denim Shorts tutorial just in time for the weather to get better so keep a look out for that one!

Next is a swimsuit. The debate of whether to get a bikini or a one piece happens every year. My swimming costume is a one piece but a holiday swimsuit is completely . There are so many different styles to choose from, so I have whittled it down to 4 styles. The ones below are examples and ones that I think look hot!

These are the basic necessities for a summer holiday, and we all know we want to look hot by the pool or on the beach. Working out for the few months before your holiday is a very good way to get your confidence and tone up in time for your summer adventures. But if you simply don't feel like it, a tankini is a great way to cover up your belly or love handles. So this year, why not make an effort for your holiday? It'll make the whole time so much more enjoyable knowing you look great! :)

NEW POST, OMG!

Hey guys! I haven't posted for over a week, very annoyed with myself. Having loads of work to do and not being very well leads to hibernation I'm afraid. But I am now out of hibernation and back to the real world :) 

I've got some exciting news to share soon, so watch this space. But for now I'm going to lessen my posts, boo ,due to other commitments so I'll aim to do 1 or 2 posts per week. I've completed all of the requests, hope you guys enjoyed them. Send some more my way if you want, because I looooove doing them!

ANYWHO! This week there will be only one post (not including this one), hopefully in the next few days. My best friend has had her baby boy today (OMG SO EXCITED) and have a few other commitments this week. But next week, when everything should be a bit quieter, I'll be back with a vengeance!

I shall leave you all with this image of me, in my checkerboard leggings on Dawlish beach! I am so in love with these leggings it's slightly creepy, but they are so pretty and look great! I got them here.

I will do an outfit including these soon so you can see the whole shabang. :)

Don't forget to check back soon for this weeks post! :)

Weekly Favourite: No.3

Hope everyone had a kick-ass bank holiday weekend! Mine was very eventful, got some news I hope to be sharing with you all soon :) All in good time!
My favourite buy this week is... 

H&M Yin & Yang dress - £12.99

I wasn't really shopping, more... browsing (whatever Lucy :P) and saw this monochrome wonder across the shop. The shape is perfect for me, as it clings to my waist and flows effortlessly over my hips. The dress has buttons up the entire front which is so much more retro than a zip back. Wore this dress for my boyfriends birthday and it was mega comfy. Definitely worth the £12.99!! LOOOOVEEE! 

Boots, Boohoo.com - £18

Cardigan, Boohoo.com - £10

Dress, H&M - £12.99
