Minga London

I was recently introduced to Minga London by my friend Alex, who recommended their insane unitards for this rolla disco we were going to. I'm so glad she told me about them because I ended up buying their avocado print unitard and it's now my favourite thing I own! (It went down really well at the rolla disco by the way. Best time EVER.)

Since then they have launched some amazing swimwear and festival pieces, which I am obsessed with and obviously now want all of them. These are some of my favourites.

From the left moving clockwise:

Candy Stripes Bikini Set £35.00
Rainbow Stripes High Leg Swimsuit £26.00
Tiger Brown Tie Wrap Crop Top £24.90
Leopard Pink Unitard £20.90
Zebra Rainbow High Leg Swimsuit £26.00
Pink Leopard Tie Wrap Crop Top £24.90

One thing I love about the swim range is the matching chokers that come with the sets. I'd love to be wearing the zebra rainbow swimsuit with some little 80s shorts for the next rolla disco. I'd also love to style the leopard print tie front top with a little skirt and my big chunky vagabond boots for a night out. DREAMY.

Also, if you're interested in the rolla disco, it's at the Boiler Shop in Newcastle every so often. Their Facebook page is HERE so you can watch out for their next event!

April Wishlist

As we're now well on our way into spring, I've been thinking about what shoes I'd love to be wearing in the (hopefully) warmer weather.

Dr Marten Vegan Clarissa Sandals 
These sandals are the most chunky, grungy, beautiful things I've ever seen. I love that they have the original sole of a Doc Marten boot, not to mention these are 100% vegan. LOVE THEM.

Birkenstock Two Strap in Black

A classic summer staple which I'm STILL yet to own. I've heard these are super comfortable and they look cool af, especially when paired with some ripped up mom jeans and a cute 90's crop top. I'm feeling it.

SHOP HERE

Topshop HOOT Faux Fur Sliders 

The furry slider trend is something I am well on board with. For me, making sure the ones you buy are definitely faux fur is super super important though, so be careful! 

SHOP HERE

Topshop HALO Bow Sliders 

Pink satin does remind me of a bridesmaid dress I wore as a child which was horrendous, but I'm really loving the look of these sliders. Imagine with a tan and a simple black polish pedicure. Yep. I want them.

June Wishlist

Here it is, my wishlist for June 2016. I've tried to stick to quality products and really narrow it down to things that would last me a long time and be investments. They also look pretty good together don't you think? Who'd have thought khaki and grey would be such summer colours!

1. Radley SOHO Large Zip-Top Backpack £139 SHOP HERE

So far this month I have become desperate for a new backpack! I've been having shoulder pain from carrying everything but the kitchen sink in a handbag on one shoulder, so I switched to this cheapy backpack I bought from Primark ages ago. After a couple of weeks of using that it is literally falling apart, so I need to upgrade to a better quality one. 

I visited the Metrocentre last weekend and saw this beauty in Radley, the Soho backpack in this beautiful grey colour. Even better it's been reduced! Still at £139 though it's sure to be on my wishlist for some time! Bring on a new job!!

2. Urban Outfitters White Moonstone Earrings Multipack £16 SHOP HERE

These earrings are just one sample of many gorgeous vintage-esque sets in urban at the moment. This one I particularly love because of the dulled gold and mixture of studs, hoops and genuine gem stones. I've been wearing the same tiny silver studs in my 3 lobe piercings for a long time now and I'd like to switch it up with these. Loooove!

3. Marks and Spencer Limited Edition Camouflage Mini Skirt £29.50 SHOP HERE
This skirt is an absolute beaut. So much so that I've not been able to find it in store to try on!! Very similar to an urban renewal version at urban outfitters, this one looks to be higher waisted and a slightly longer length which I'd be more comfortable wearing. Being M&S it's sure to be good quality too. Nice one Marks and Spencers soooo on trend.

4. Topshop Khaki Pleat Trousers £32 SHOP HERE

I already own a pair of these in black and white stripe, so when I saw they brought out a khaki version I got pretty excited about them. These fit amazing and are so super flattering, I MUST get my hands on this colour.

5. Birkenstock Arizona Two Strap Sandals £59.95 SHOP HERE

Last but not least, I missed out on this staple last summer - opting for the Topshop copy which are actually pretty good! - and I'm determined to pick up a pair this year. I've always loved the classic black and the two strap version I bet would be so comfy and something I would live in.

So this month has been a busy one so far, already almost half way through, I've been juggling uni work along with my job and squeezing in a couple of fun days and nights with friends to take the edge off the looming deadlines! Just as well I've been skint really otherwise shopping would definitely have distracted me from all the work I need to get done and I probably would have stress-shopped and spent far too much!

Just under a week til my student loan and I've got my eye on the following items, actually can't wait. I am mega excited about the 70s vibes at Topshop right now and am definitely on board with the flared jeans. In love!! Bring on the fringing, culottes and fingers crossed the sunny weather.
