A few things I've picked up recently, mostly from a pre-festival shop! The tee isn't actually something I bought, rather found in amongst some old clothes of my mums. I'm really into palm-type prints at the moment and the fact that it has ombre in it makes it really cool and I had to pinch it! My new Levi's have already appeared on here in my last post, I bought them from urban outfitters just before Creamfields festival. I've had a few pairs of Levis cut off's before but none really fit that well so I was super happy to find this perfect-fitting pair, and they literally go with everything! They're so versatile I think I'll easily be able to carry them into A/W with some tights and jumpers. The dress and bra are both from h&m, the dress I picked up on my pre-festival shop also, it goes really well with my shorts and looks really cool with a dark body underneath. I've been wanting a triangle bra for a while now, after seeing them on various people *cough* Miley Cyrus in LOL (cringe.) I think they look really pretty under vests and low-cut tops, especially the lace (but expensive) ones. So I was pretty chuffed to find this simple but sweet one in a twin-pack for just £9.99. The black netted top is something I actually picked up from a charity shop this morning! It was only £3 and my size from Miss Selfridge. As you can probably see I have a bit of a think for netted-type things at the moment, I think they give an edge to any outfit and can easily be dressed up or down. And, last but not least my wonderful new hand chain, which is from Primark of all places! I love simple clean-cut gold jewellery and for only £2.50 I couldn't resist it, it falls so nicely when you wear it and makes wearing a piece of jewellery a little extra-special. I'm pretty sad summer's almost over now, as you can see I'm still hanging on through my outfits, but I'm excited about the year coming up. Hope you've all had an amazing summer too!

Sorry for not posting much this week! I've been super busy with work and trying to get myself organised for my holiday next week. I had to go all the way down to London (5am coach) to get my passport renewed as it's all very last minute, but the four hour wait gave me some time to do a holiday shop! I headed straight to Oxford Street and into Topshop to find myself in the middle of the sale and picked up a couple of amazing bits ie, the above blouse. It was reduced to just £20 and is actually a couple of sizes bigger than what i usually wear but for the price and beautiful drape I couldn't resist it, I love how it fits and its perfect for summer and my holiday, it looks great with a bikini! However it also looks great to wear in the day or evening, because its very sheer i teemed it with a banduea and my high waisted Levis. I also picked up a bikini in there which I've had my eye on for quite some time, black gold and white with a Versace-type print, check my instagram for a pic (@luciagrace). Anyway hope you're all having a great summer and making the most of the summer sales! I'll be back in 8 days, with what i'm sure will be a massive holiday post :)
