Crochet-craze

Another trend that is definitely in this season is crochet. Stores are featuring crocheted everything from vests to sweaters to shoes! The prices for crocheted items can be slightly pricey, so I decided to begin to learn how to crochet, so that I can make myself anything I want. For those of you who are not inclined to learn, these are two wonderful choices that are affordable:

Topshop £40.00

H&M £12.99

Sweet Summer Shorts

I personally am a fan of patterned shorts. I think they provided the perfect pop for a cute summer outfit. Topshop has loads of patterned shorts this season; from a USA print short to a red paisley short. I find myself wanting every single pair. I don't think you need a thousand different patterns, especially for those on a budget. Simply purchase one or two different pairs and make them your signature by wearing them over and over. Here's one absolutely fantastic pair:

Topshop £32.00

Here's a slightly cheaper pair:

H&M £14.99

Great Finds!

I just realised that most of the items I've put up so far have been from companies that are mostly available either on the internet or in Europe. So here's a few of my favourites that are available from stores in North America! These could be a cute combination for any hot summer day that's ahead of us. It's perfect for a date, the boardwalk, the lake, the mall, anything, and just pair it with a cute pair of sandals or some flip flops.

Available in a range of colours

Old Navy $10.00 

Khol's $38.00

Boohoo!

While going to the shops is always fun, there are other resources that should be utilised to augment your wardrobe. Online shopping is all the rage right now; and honestly you can find great deals online, like at www.boohoo.com. There's a huge amount of clothing on offer for great prices! 

Boohoo £12.00

Boohoo £15.00

Festival Season

Festival Season is upon us, with thousands of different festivals in every genre of music: Bonnaroo, Wireless Festival, Warped Music Tour, to name a few. Whether you are in the United States or in the United Kingdom or anywhere else, there are tons of music festivals to go to during the summer. It is now time to begin deciding what to wear and what to pack! 

Hippie Chic is how I would describe the festival fashion, which is quite easy to do even on a budget. River Island and Top Shop have some great items under their 'festival' sections, but even vintage stores have loads of items that would be perfect.

Denim shorts, bags with fringe, macramé, and leather, loose tank tops, sun dresses, tribal patterns, Aztec patterns; keep an eye out for any of these to base your look around. Accessories should include: bangles, sunglasses, friendship bracelets,  and anything else that you love and are comfortable in. When spending the night there, make sure you are prepared for any type of weather, so pack a nice pair of Wellies, and some warmer clothing that you can slip on if you need to, and make sure you remember your sunscreen!
