SAYING GOODBYE

One last trip to the airport. The last 2 of the 6 were flying back to Hong Kong on Sunday! I hate saying goodbyes to family - it's been a fun month but I've been slacking with the posts. I can't believe summer is nearly over but can't help but be excited for Autumn and  getting back into layers. I've eyed up a few pieces, going to sort of my wardrobe and I've just started a 25days gym workout plan. Things are looking good! 

This is what I wore to the airport:

BICESTER VILLAGE

I mostly shop on the high street but I love having a snoop around the designer shops even though I can't afford most of it. I'm lucky enough to receive designer gifts from my parents and love owning classic pieces that will last a long time. 
Bicester Village is a designer outlet consisting of many brands at discounted prices from last season and you might even find some classic designs but don't expect the prices to be low. As it's quite far to travel from where i live I rarely go here and would recommend the Harrods Sale as it's more Central. I love the accessories especially bags more than clothing although I did try out a few pieces I didn't buy anything expect from an Origins Cleanser. The Cosmetics Company Store is one of the places to check out for beauty products. Ralph Lauren offer a variety of classic designs and be taken in by the luxury designer brands in the Village. 

Here's what I wore and check out the Burberry Leather Jacket *beautiful*

MISSGUIDED: LOVING MIDI SKIRTS

Whether it's a skirt or a dress, I think a midi is the perfect length to dress up for a night out of cocktails or going into town. Like all skirts, they are all versatile and can be worn with a variety of tops. Thinking ahead to next season, this is an easy transition piece from Summer to Autumn. 

A loose fit provides a more casual, laid back - I'm comfortable look - paired with ballet pumps or sandals. The alternative is a tight midi which shows more of your figure, for a evening out, you may opt for a daring print which can be easily paired up with boots or heels. 

Regardless of colour and print, midi's provides an alternative to your bottom half or style of dress giving you a polished look without trying too hard. The only thing I would say is having a mixture of tops to change up your style. With dresses, they're perfect for layering. I would buy plain coloured midi's, although they are simple, it allows you change up your top half with prints, stripes, different sleeve lengths etc to suit the season and the occasion. 

Here's a few from Missguided (They've got such a range with affordable prices) 
Plain coloured midi skirts costing only £7.99!!

HOLIDAY FEVER!

Dressing in hot weather can be quite challenging, especially the last few days,I feel like I need more summer pieces in the wardrobe (maybe a shopping trip soon..). I wish I owned one of those ice towels the tennis players have because I'm feeling the heat. Not really wanting to go out in the sun as I catch a tan straight away (even in the British weather), feeling sticky and sweating. I've been drinking lots of water to keep me hydrated and eating the odd ice cream! My weekend finished off with watching the finals of Wimbledon, congratulations Murray - history has been made!  Well played and deserved!! 

Hope everyone had a good weekend - Häagen- Dazs ice cream anyone?

GRADUATION DRESS IDEAS

In my last post I mentioned that I was still on the hunt for a graduation dress. After searching I've got more of a idea but I want to try a few on before I make my mind up. I'm thinking of getting two dresses one for the actual graduation then one for the ball in the evening. But I don't want to spend too much! For colours ball I wore a nude maxi dress from Miss Selfridge but I'm thinking about wearing a short dress this time.
Here's just a few ideas...

KEEPING THINGS SIMPLE

I hope everyone has had a good week! The sun is out - I'm making the most of eating ice cream and  enjoying the Wimbledon Season! I can't believe some of the big names are out from the mens' tournament but it gives the opportunity for the likes of Murray!! 

I'm working tonight but looking forward to (Confederations Cup Final) Spain vs Brazil - I love a good football match especially the jaw dropping game Italy vs Spain which resulted in penalties.Spain Won.

Ok, enough rambles on sport. Here's my outfit of the day. Keeping things simple- quite monochrome with a pop of colour. These pieces are very versatile and can be worn in different combinations. White boyfriend t shirt with rolled up sleeves tucked in a skater a skirt, paired with some low wedges. The orange bag gives the right amount of contrast to give the outfit a lift - picks up the sunnies and now I'm ready to go.

Boyfriend T shirt - Primark

Skater Skirt - Topshop

Wedges - Primark

Bag - Zara

ROYAL ASCOT AND LONDON WEEKEND

I hope everyone had a good weekend! I'll start by sharing my experience at the Royal Ascot. This is the second time apart from going to the family races in Ascot when I was younger. We were really lucky with the weather this year and set ourselves up at a table near the racecourse. With ciders and snacks aside, it was great to get involved and place bets. Apart from not winning anything I didn't really mind as I had a great time (I don't have much luck ever). We purchased tickets for the silver ring with a party package - it was great to dress up and see other peoples outfits!

Did you go Royal Ascot this year? Post your blog link so I can see what you were wearing.

Saturday: In the evening I was going to be in London to celebrate my friends 21st birthday. Karaoke in Chinatown then hitting Zebranos. 

My plan was to leave early, go sale shopping in London. However, leaving rather late I only had just under 2 hours before we had to meet. After hopping on the tube I headed straight to Knightsbridge as I haven't been there for a while and checked out Harrods and Zara. Not having much time to actually look around it was probably a good idea as I don't have much money. Drinks were flowing, everyone singing and dancing. Such a great!! I'll definitely be coming here again!

My outfit:

FOREVER 21 Dress

Longchamp Bag

New Look Boots
