Huge Summer Haul

It's been raining the past few days so what have I done? Gone shopping...for summer clothes... I can't help it they are all just toooo pretty! As a treat for finishing my exams (thank the lord), I went on a rather large shopping spree (both online and offline) and came out with some gorgeous little pieces!

1. Whistles Pink 'Je voudrais' Jumper.

The girl in the shop said to me when I was buying this 'Oh, did you see Lucy Watson on Made in Chelsea wearing this?', which obviously I did. I liked this sales assistant - anyone who watches MIC is a friend of mine. It's just a super cute and fun jumper that I'll wear all the time. Buy this HERE.

2. Zara Pastel Blue/Teal Cami.

I  fell in love with the colour of this, and the back is also amazing - it has a bra-type fastening at the back and is completely open, meaning it will look so nice with a tan (come on sun!!). Buy this HERE.

3. Asos Oversized Smock Top.

Although not a very exciting piece, definitely a useful one! I rarely wear white things and thought this would look really good with a chunky necklace, ripped jeans and some nice sandals. Buy this HERE.

4. Topshop Cutaway Crop Top.

My friend Zoe had this in white and told me I needed to buy it too because it looked so good on. She wasn't lying, it's so flattering when on, and has really nice zip-detailing at the back. I will probably wear with a colourful skater skirt in summer when going out for dinner or drinks. Buy this HERE.

5. Topshop Grey Jumper with Mesh Back.

I've never been a big fan of mesh, but this top has converted me. I like the fact that it's really casual with the grey jersey front, balanced out with the cream mesh at the back. It's just a staple piece to go in my wardrobe really! Buy this HERE.

6. Dainty Dolls Pom-Pom Cami.

I came across the Dainty Dolls boutique on Twitter and they have the cutest little summer dresses, tops and playsuits that are all perfect for summer. This particular top caught my eye because of the pom-poms, making it slightly different from a regular chiffony cami top. Buy this HERE.

7. Motel Rocks Monochrome Co-Ord.

I've fiiiiiinally bought a co-ord!! I've been so desperate for one for ages and eventually found one I really liked that wasn't too 'out-there' like a lot of them are. The simple black and white makes it easy for any occasion and I can't wait to wear it! Buy this HERE.

8. Zara Pink & Gold Sandals.

Sandals are my favourite things to buy in summer, you can never have too many pairs! I love these ones so much that I have even ordered the exact same pair in black! Buy these HERE.

9. Asos Leopard Print Espadrilles.

These shoes are so cute and useful! For only £10, I couldn't refuse - that's such a bargain! They may not be the best quality shoes, but I will live in them this summer and even if they have fallen to pieces by September, that's fine - they will have been worth it. Buy these HERE.

Hope you liked seeing all my new bits! Have you started your summer wardrobe yet? Let me know in the comments!

Met Gala 2014 - My Top 10 Looks

In case you hadn't already noticed (from the hundreds of celebrity selfies on Instagram), it was the annual Met Gala last night - a huge highlight in the fashion world. The Met Gala is a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, and is also the opening for the fashion exhibit that is held there. It's also another excuse for every actor, singer and model to dress up and let us drool over their outfits. This year the theme was 'White Tie and Decorations', which seemed to lead to many wearing old-school glamour styles. After scrolling through picture after picture, I finally settled on my top 10 looks:

10. Suki Waterhouse  (Burberry)

This isn't a look I would wear myself, but the pale pink and the ruffled layers make it a statement dress and with her hair up in a messy bun and limited jewellery, the look was balanced out perfectly.

9. Hailee Steinfeld (Prabal Gurung)

17 year old Hailee certainly looks beyond her years here and although I don't think this dress is everyone's cup of tea, I think the simple monochrome with the large tent bottom makes it very sophisticated and she looks incredible.

8. Selena Gomez (Diane von Furstenberg)

This look screams Hollywood glamour, with the fishtail dress and drop earrings and the purple/maroon dress goes perfectly with Selena's dark hair and skin tone, making her look gorgeous.

7. Diane Kruger (Hugo Boss)

Diana Kruger is queen of simplicity, often wearing dresses with little detail, and always manages to pull it off. The box clutch matches perfectly, and having her hair in such a clean middle parting shows off her face and lets the outfit speak for itself.

6. Taylor Swift (Oscar de la Renta)

This cute pink dress, with the low-cut back and bow detailing at the back is just amazing and such a Taylor outfit. She loves her cute girly bits and certainly didn't fail with this outfit!

5. Kate Bosworth (Stella McCartney)

Similar to Diana Kruger, Kate also looks incredible with a flat hair do and a simple dress. She is just beautiful and can basically wear anything. (Although she will always be 'the surfer girl' from Blue Crush to me!)

4. Lily Donaldson (Burberry)

I picked this outfit purely because of the back - IT'S AMAZING. Bows are clearly a big thing at the moment! I want a dress just like this.

3. Blake Lively (Gucci)

Obviously I had to include the picture with Ryan Reynolds in it too, because they are the best couple ever. Blake's loose curls and super hot (but still pretty) dress make her the perfect woman as usual. 

2. Emma Stone (Thakoon)

This is quite a casual look with the side plait and open midriff, but it suits Emma just perfectly. I love the two different shades of pink and they really compliment her red hair.

1. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Balmain)

This is without a doubt my favourite look of the whole evening. It's a completely different style to any of the outfits seen throughout the night. It doesn't really go with the theme, which is slightly disappointing, but the dress totally makes up for that. The leopard print pleats and gladiator-style heels make it edgy and current. Her hairstyle is simple, elegant and how I wish my hair could look all the time!

I hope you all enjoyed my take on the outfits for this year! What were your favourite looks at the Gala?
