Summer Outfits!

Hey everyone!

For today's post I'm going to go through some of my fav summer outfits. I personally love wearing bright colours during the summer months and try to keep the darker colours for winter.

Maxi Dress
I did a post just on maxi dresses not so long ago so I'm not going to go into too much detail about them here. These have got to be one of my fav outfits for summer. They can be dressy or casual depending on how you want to style them. I personally prefer the plain coloured maxis with a few accessories. I have a black one (yes I know I said I prefer colours for summer but shh!) that I can't wait to style. I just bought a cream studded bag (coming up in my fashion haul post soon) that will look perfect with it. A statement necklace, some stacked bracelets or a watch and a pair of sandals and the look is complete. If I was wearing this in Ireland I'd throw on a cardigan over it if it's a bit cool.

Skater Skirt
Another look I love. I rarely wear skirts but I love wearing them on hols. I love the skater skirt with a plain tank top and again paired with sandals and some statement jewellery. I posted an Outfit of the Night post recently with a skirt and top look that I can't wait to wear again. 

Shorts
These are obviously a must for summer! They can be dressed up or dressed down for a casual look depending on how you style them. For a day time, casual look I usually would wear a casual tee or vest top and a pair of converse or vans. At night they can be paired with sandals, a more dressy top or again some statement jewellery. 

Skinny Jeans
In Ireland we don't get much of a summer but it's not exactly cold enough to be wearing our winter clothes. So what do we wear? I love wearing skinny jeans with either sandals or pumps or even converse for a more casual look and a nice summery top. I love coloured skinny jeans and the bright colours are perfect for summer. If it's a little bit cool, just throw on a cardigan and you're good to go.

Leggings
I love leggings! Plus they're perfect for the Irish summer too. I don't really wear them much with long tops but I love them with certain dresses. I have two dresses that I wear navy leggings with. These dresses are too short to be worn on their own but they're perfect over leggings and a cardigan. I recently bought a black and white monochrome/aztec print dress that can be worn on it's own but I've worn it with black leggings.

That's all for my summer looks. I think these looks are perfect for summer and can be adjusted to suit all climates!

June Favourites!

So since June is almost over (OMG it went so fast) I thought I'd share some of the things I've been loving throughout the month. 

Beauty
Tangle Teezer
I bought one of these bad boys a few months ago and I've been constantly using it this month. You can pick them up in Boots but I got a cheaper version for only €1.50 in Penneys. First of all I hate brushing my hair especially when it's wet. I've long, thick, curly hair and it is ANNOYING to tame! Using the tangle teezer is actually helpful though. It doesn't take me too long to brush my hair with it and when it comes to blowdrying it, there's practically no curls or frizz so it only takes a couple of mins to straighten which is a relief for me. I highly recommend getting one.



Benefit's They're Real Mascara
I did a whole review on this a couple of posts back so I'm not gonna talk too much about it but I've been using it so much this month. It doesn't clump, the wand gets loads of product on it and it helps curl and lengthen your lashes. Perfect!



Catrice Eyebrow Set
I have a beauty haul coming soon and this will be included in it but I've been loving this product loads so I thought I'd include it in it. It has two colours; a lighter brown and a darker one. You also get a mini angled brush and tweezers. I use this when I'm going out for a fuller brow and it' really good. It's super pigmented and really fills in your brows. It was really cheap too.



Catrice All Round Concealer
Again, this will be included in my haul post. The palette has a green, pink and three beige concealers to hide every possible blemish. It's a creamy consistency too which I found stays on really well compared to the liquid ones I've previously used.



Fashion
Statement Necklaces
These are so on trend at the mo and can really make an outfit. I only have 3 (one I just bought today) but I've really been wearing them a lot this month. I think they look gorgeous with a plain maxi dress or top and really brighten up an outfit.

 

Random
Candy Crush
Ok I've had this app for a good few months but I am obsessed with it this month. I literally have been on the same level all month and I cannot stop playing it. It's pretty addictive!

Fruit Mania
Another addictive app!!!! Kinda similar to candy crush. I usually play this when I run out of lives on candy crush haha!

There wasn't too many things I've been using quite a bit this month but I thought I'd do a post anyway! Let me know what you've been loving this month and what kind of posts you'd like me to do too. Don't forget you can follow my blog by entering your email address too.

Next few posts will be hauls and summer based posts. Till then...

OOTN!

Ok so here is my first Outfit Of The Night post!

It was my cousin's birthday on Friday so we went out for a few drinks and I thought I'd do a quick post on what I wore. It's a really simple and inexpensive look and it's perfect for summer.

Ok so the skirt is from Penneys and I absolutely love it! It has an elasticated waist band and it's really comfortable. The material is kind of heavy but it's so flowy you'd never be really too warm in it. I love the pattern on it and can't wait to wear it on holidays. I think it might look nice in the winter too with a pair of black tights. I bought this about 2 weeks ago for €11.

The top is just a plain black tank top. You can get these anywhere. The one I have is again from Penneys and was €3. I think a plain top is best with this skirt as a more dressy top could clash with the pattern in the skirt.

I got the shoes around the end of April/start of May to wear for my birthday. I am in love with the colour. I think they can really brighten up a dark outfit. I got them in New Look for about €22 I think.

I kept the jewellery simple. I just wore a silver statement necklace that I got in Penneys a while back. I wore a big watch that my boyfriend got me about 2 years ago and I also have a ring and my Pandora bracelet that Kevin also got me that I always wear.

Going out it was a little cool so I just threw on a black blazer and was good to go!

Hope you enjoyed this post! If you've tried this look or have other ideas for this look or for future posts I'd love to hear them so comment or tweet me them!
