Au Revoir August

Hi all,

So this is basically a post saying that I will probably not be able to post for the next 4 week (wow thats a long time!) I am so sorry but I am going to be quite busy. My family and I are going on holiday to Australia (flying via Singapore) I am going to take loads of photos and get inspiration for future posts. We are staying in Singapore, Brisbane, Sydney, The red centre, Alice Springs and Port Douglas. I might be able to give you an update when we get to our friends house (or whenever I get a wi-fi connection) I am so excited because I am going to see my best friend, its been 7 years since I last saw her!
Until then I hope you are all having an amazing summer wherever you are. And I am looking forward to posting again when I get back.

Jack Wills Summer Sale Haul

Hi all,

So, recently Jack Wills had its Summer sale, and I was happy to take advantage of it! They always have a really great sale, cutting up to 70% off the normal sale price so I decided to get a few things. Most of the stuff I got I ordered on the internet, as sometimes its hard to get your size in the shop. I did however get a pair of socks in the shop, even though they had been sold out online.

So the first things are very exciting! Two pairs of socks. They are ankle length, and I got them because they will look really nice with brogues.

Moving on to actual clothing, I got a white dress 'the Cottenham dress' and the tank top is the 'Elwick vest' (more details to follow... :)

I love the back of this tank top, with the flowery lace as the racer back. It gives quite a sporty shape a very feminine and soft feel. I love the feel of this top also, its really soft. The only downside is that it needs a bandeau underneath, as it wasn't suitable for a bra (more shopping!) 

This dress has a long back story. I tried it on first in London, and I really liked it, but I didn't buy it because it came in a different colourway which I wasn't able to try on. So when the sale came up I was actually in Ireland, with no access to internet. When I got back home they said it was sold out :( but when I checked the website a few days later it was back again. So I bought it there and then :)

It has a very 1950's feel, with the full gathered skirt and the wide neckline (I found the neckline a little weird on me when I first tried it on, but it has grown on me)

I love the back of this dress with the little opening and the bow. I will probably look for a little skinny belt to wear with this dress, just to break up the white for a different look.

I was very pleasantly surprised with this bag, the discount was really good and when it arrived I was surprised by how big it actually is. I am going to use it as my carry on for my next flying trip, and maybe as a beach bag. Its really handy because it has a zipper, which would keep your things safer than most tote bags.

Hope you enjoyed this little haul
