Here is an outfit of the day from my recent visit to Madrid to see my parents. We went out for a nice meal, and as it is still so hot and sunny in the evenings, this is what I wore! I bought this dress while I was out there, I just couldn't resist the gorgeous electric blue colour as this is something I have been looking for for a while. I also love the light silky material and the floaty design because it's perfect for the sunshine and heat.

The bag is my new staple accessory, its the perfect size for me to fit in all my things - I always carry so much around! I think the colour is really versatile so it will go with loads of my outfits.

Tomorrow I am back to Madrid again to make the most of the Spanish sunshine this summer, although I am going to be doing some dissertation work while I'm there! I will also be spending some time with my family and boyfriend, enjoying the food and visiting the sights (and shops!). I am thinking of doing a little holiday photo diary too while I am there!!

I hope everyone's having a lovely summer!

Summer OOTD

Shirt: New Look

Shorts: H&M

Sandals: From Spain
Bag: Topshop

The sun has finally come out again, after weeks of miserable cold wind and rain in Sheffield, so I thought I would do an outfit of the day post! I bought these floral shorts from H & M a couple of weeks ago for £14.99, not thinking I would be able to get them out until I was on holiday in a few weeks! They are made of a really light chiffon material which is really cooling and perfect for hot days spent outside. I love the print on them as they will go with so many of my bright tops and shirts! Here I decided to team them with a black shirt with a dipped hem at back, my black sandals and my trusty topshop bowling bag! I also think they would be nice for a summer night out.

I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine and has a lovely week!

Outfit!

I spent the afternoon with Friends in London yesterday and thought I would write about my outfit for the day!
 

I wrote a post about my new Topshop bag on Friday and here I teamed it with my Topshop Ambush boots! I know the colours are slightly different but I think they compliment each other nicely and they both go with every outfit! The boots are my footwear of choice at the moment as they are soooo comfortable and stylish and I love the colour, the only downside is that the side zips often come unzipped after a while of wearing them! 

The jeans I am wearing are Topshop Moto Leigh Supersoft jeans. I think these are great as they are really light wear and a nice bright blue colour! I hate jeans that stretch or get bigger when you wear them and these don't do that which is great!

My black chiffon shirt is from Zara and it is my favourite piece in this outfit!

The gold studded detail on the collar makes the shirt stand out and is what I love most about it! It gets gradually longer at the back which I find quite flattering, it is also really well made and the material is lovely! I am also wearing a black vest underneath, again from Zara, and I would recommend these to everyone! If your looking for one, these are excellent - and cheap! They fit perfectly are a really smooth material that doesn't go out of shape at all after you've worn it!

I know this outfit is quite boring, but I think it works well together and is so easy to wear!
