I thought I would put together a post with a few tips and what I wear on holiday and in the summer.

I like to buy plain clothes, like plain colours and white and grey things. This way it's really easy to team outfits together. When you have lots of patterned clothes it can be quite difficult to match up things. Also this way if you buy a statement bag, with a really nice pattern you can wear it with most of your outfits.

Denim shorts are a must have! They go with everything and you can wear them night and day! Team them up with flip flops and a vest to go to the beach and then Sandals and a cute top for the evenings. This way you can wear a pair of shorts a few times and this can save on luggage allowance in your suitcase. (unless your like me and have to bring like 4 pairs of denim shorts.)


Basic Jerseys: You can get them from Primark h&m and new look for really cheap. I love these little jersey skirts as you can wear them day and night and they look really cute. It's best to buy a few plain white vests and then a few coloured ones for in the day. Suncream ruin's white tops so there is really no point in spending silly money on vest tops. This way you could even just leave them behind when your going home and save your self such luggage allowance for all the stuff you bought in duty free.

If your like me you have 94832847 pairs of shoes and you have to bring every single pair on holiday just in case you might need that pair. Just bring your flip flops, and a pair of brown sandals and black sandals and something comfy incase you do ay trips etc. Thats all you need and shoes are really heavy!

Now i'm going on holiday for two weeks and we all know that toiletries are silly money on holiday so make sure you bring enough, make sure you have your suncreams and shampoos etc. Don't bring your favourite bed head products or your Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser because if you bring the cheap stuff you can just chuck it away before you come home.


I know this is all kinda common sense but I hope you enjoy this and I know there are some holiday virgins out there who probably don't have a clue what they need to pack for their first holiday this summer.

I've recently become abit obsessed with H&M's website and their sale. I'm yet to recieve anything i've ordered which is why I haven't done any outfit posts but this is my 2nd order from the H&M website.
I did a post last week and showed you guys some bikini's that I ordered. This week i've ordered these sunnies, this really cute pastel blue skirt and this playsuit. They have some other colours in the skirt and other patterns of playsuit. I decided the blue was really nice and will look great!! on my holiday with a white tank top and a brown sandals. There was a leopard print option for the playsuit too but I've decided to buy plain clothes for my holiday as i've bought the aztec pattern bag in my last River island wish list post.

If you use the promo code '1304' you get £5 off your order, I think this is good because they have rather pricey postage fees so this covers your postage :)

This is what I ordered from the h&m website the other day! they have 50 % off selected swimwear so the orange colour bikini is actually half that price!! I also used a £5 off code so i basically got the green bikini bottoms free and free delivery.

I really like h&m's swimwear range, they have so many patterns, colours and style of bikini. I've previously had h&m bikini's and they are just such good quality for the money. Primark bikini's are them same price as these and are half the quality.  I'll post a picture when they arrive :) Don't really know what h&m online delivery is like.

this is what i wore on tuesday; i had university and then i went to see florence and the machine at the LG arena. She was amazing- shes one of them artists that i said when she tours - IM GOING! and im so glad i did because it was SO GOOD. Her set was amazingg and her outfit was really nice :)
On the music subject - the line up for reading and leeds was announced and i wanna go! so does my boyfriend!

for those of you that follow me on twitter you will know i NEEDED a leopard print fur coat well... i got one and its such a funny story of how i came to own it.
i've been looking on ebay, twitter, peoples blog saless and just none of them were right or of the right price. i found one that i loved and got into the bidding war but it went past £40 and i just wasnt willing to pay that much so anyway i was having a general conversation with my little sister about the matter and she was like OH laura has a fur coat ... a leopard one that she never wears anyway i tried it on and fell in love with it and after all the searching i found THE ONE and i bought it for £25 :Dwell happy and i love it

this week i was invited to a midlands blogger meet by rebecca and lucie are organising. It will be in birmingham and they are really trying to finalise numbers before they plan much. if anyone is interested just get in touch with myself or the girls and we will add you to thelist. all the london bloggers do it so its about time we got to have a bloggers meet also if you have any ideas about what we should do ect then let us know.

thats all really ive had such a long weekend been working and went to see two door cinema club last night so pretty knackered; might go and watch a film before bed.

i will most likely be away from the computer over the weekend therefore a quick post tonight for you to read. today's been really nice - If im honest it hasnt been a bad week. at uni i've come up with a good idea for my work - it seems to be going well and my tutors LOVE it (which anyone that does art/graphics/illustration ect) will know it a HUGE task!! spent loads of time with my boyfriend but spent NO MONEY ;D which is something we really need to do more since we've been looking at holidays and flats. we have suddenly realised that we spend SO MUCH MONEY on food! so today we sat in put Xmen 3 on and i made pancakes(FAILED) if you follow me on twitter or are a regular of my blog you will know i recently put a few items on ebay (ive raved on about it for the past 3 days) well it ended today and ive made about £45 :D which is great ^^^ Been looking at bags on ebay tho ¬_¬ i will never learn. hope everyone has a great weekend.
