Boho Vibes
I'm a lover of easy breezy dresses for summer. They're great for keeping cool, comfy to wear and still look effortless at the same time. I recently purchased a beautiful embroidered bardot midi dress from Topshop. Of course it's in my favourite summer colour white!!! I adore the embroidered overlay on the top of this dress, it's seriously pretty and as it's a bardot cut, the detailing is shown off even more. This dress does come in at the waist and unlike others I've tried in the past, it flows down perfectly. The midi length is also finished with some more lace detailing on the hem.
This dress is so perfect to wear in the warmer months and does the speaking for itself so you can totally wear it with minimal accessories.
I'm so happy that I've finally found a longer summer dress without a massive split down the side of it. As much as they look incredible in still shots and calm conditions, the reality is you're forever holding down your dress to avoid an awkward breeze!
I adore this dress and it's now totally one of my favourite dresses of the season.

Off The Shoulder
My latest obsession is definitely off the shoulder tops. I especially love pairing them with a pair of white skinny jeans. It totally creates that perfect day time look. One of my latest off the shoulder tops is this blue and white striped one from Bloomingdales. I feel that matching this top with white jeans just elongates the whole look due to the white stripe. It's a lovely and light top which is perfect for those super hot summer days. These white jeans are my go to Topshop jeans for summer and they literally go with everything!
I've finished this look by pairing it with my beautiful wedges. They just add that little extra something and totally make a simple day time outfit ready for a lovely summer dinner.
Are you loving the off the shoulder trend?

Pineapple Faves
I wanted to share with you a few of my pineapple favourites! Pineapples just take summer to a whole new tropical level!
I've always been a lover of fairy lights and sadly I've just had to say goodbye to a set of my favourite flamingo ones. They had been living on my balcony but the sunshine in Florida made their bright pink colour fade, and some thunderstorms also filled my poor flamingos up with water. Probably not the best combination for a working light! So I've recently invested in a new set of fairy lights and judging by the title of this post, I'm sure you've guessed that they're pineapples!
These fairy lights are from Sunnylife. I've totally been eyeing up their pineapple float too. I just love the tropical fun vibe that these lights create, perfect for a summer party, bbq or just to put you in that exotic tropical summer mood.
I also found the perfect beach bag from Francesca's closet. Of course it has a pineapple on it! I love this shop, I'm always finding something fun from there and their accessories section is just the best. This bag (in the top picture) was actually in the sale which made it a million times sweeter.
So if you want to know where I am, I'm at the beach with my pineapple!

Summer Outfits
As it's summer my love for white outfits has been at an all time high! There's just something about summer which makes me want to reach for anything white. Clothing or accessories, I'm white obsessed!
This outfit is a skirt and top combo (but everyone actually thinks it's a dress!). The top is just fuelling my cold shoulder vibe. I've been loving wearing off the shoulder tops lately, so this cold shoulder one mixes up my outfits. I adore the detailing on this top and it was such a great find from Dorothy Perkins as it literally goes with so much.
The skirt was such a great buy from H&M. It's a tight fitted textured short skirt but it just seems to flare in the right places. Plus because it's elasticated it's very comfy.
Another summer obsession of mine is stripes! This dress is from the Banana Republic outlet, so of course that made it such a steal! It's super smart but casual at the same time. Definitely a perfect one for work due to the length of it. It can also be dressed down and would go perfectly with a lovely pair of jewelled sandals. I've paired it with my favourite sun hat for a total stripes look!

Summer Dresses
As it was the first day of summer yesterday, I thought I would share with you a few of my favourite summer dresses. Whilst the weather might actually be stopping you from wearing these in the UK at the moment, they're perfect for those freak summer days or even holidays which you may have planned.
This Topshop Palm Print Slip Dress is one of my absolute favourites. I am totally palm tree obsessed so this dress without a doubt would end up in my wardrobe! It's a super comfy and summery dress and looks great with either sandals, wedges or heels.
Another summer dress love is this one from River Island. It's a red floral bardot dress which is so easy and breezy for beaching around. It's a great day dress for sightseeing and the floral print just screams summer.
Lastly is this super fun embroidered dress from Zara. It's so cute and adorable. So perfect for a holiday or a day at the beach. I've paired it with heels here but it definitely can be worn with flip flops!
All these summer dresses have me missing the sun! Can it just be super sunny already!

Dorothy Perkins Dress
Today's outfit of the day is making me super excited for summer.
I absolutely love this dress, it's from Dorothy Perkins and is so cool and easy to wear. I've paired it with this light Zara coat/cardigan. In these shots I've matched it with my Zara white shoes, which you've probably seen before because I wear these with everything! They are so comfy and well they literally match every outfit!!!!!
This look can totally be dressed down, it's perfect for those warm days when you're just running errands or sightseeing. Put on a pair of pumps and you're ready to take on the day.

Summer Outfit
I've been loving getting my summer wardrobe ready and nothing says summer like a bright yellow skirt. It's definitely sunshine in a skirt! This skirt is from River Island and I'm absolutely in love with it. As you can see it's a midi wrap skirt which is so light, easy and breezy to wear. I love the way it hangs and feels so perfect to wear especially on those summer evenings. Florida has already hit 90 degrees this year so no doubt I'll be getting a lot of use from this! It really is that pop of colour which you want to infuse into your summer outfits without going too overboard. In this shot I've paired it with this black pleated top from Zara. This top literally goes with any outfit, in fact I even have a similar one in white because they're those wardrobe staples which you just need!
The shoes are also from Zara, they're super comfortable and I could totally wear them all day long. Being white they literally go with any outfit too!
