Southwold Summer Outfits!

Hey everyone!

So last week I stayed in a lovely small little town called Southwold in the county of Suffolk. My friend's family always rent out a different house whenever they go, and I had the honor of staying with them for 5 days! Because the weather was so lovely and sunny (yes, I got sun burnt...) I thought I'd share with you my 5 summer outfits!

Outfit Number 1 - Travel

Jumpsuit - Misselfridge £34

I never imagined myself in a jumpsuit, however after seeing this beautiful number in the sale in Misselfridge a few weeks ago, I couldn't resist. I thought it would be perfect for summer due to the loose fit around the leg keeping me nice and cool. The denim is very soft and light making it very comfy, hence why I wore it on the first and last day when I spent 3 hours on the train. I feel the V neckline teamed with the ankle grazer style and pretty pattern makes the jumpsuit very casual, although with a pair of wedges it could easily be dressed up!

I wore this jumpsuit with an old tan plaited belt which came free with a pair of old shorts (I can't even remember how long ago or where from!), some tan leather Newlook pumps and a very cute mini tan rucksack.

Due to only taking a tiny suitcase, I was pretty limited with what I could pack, so I decided to just take one bag to carry around during the day with me, this being this adorable embroidered rucksack. After spending months looking for the perfect one, I found this beauty in a new vintage shop in York called 'Dog & Bone Vintage' for just £12. I love it so much!


Outfit Number 2 - Fun

Dungarees - Topshop £36
Sunglasses - Monki £8
Exclusive Maxi Low Juju Jellies - Office £20

I loved this retro/cute combo pairing my Juju jellies and floral dungarees with my funky green sunglasses and french plaits. The dungarees are the perfect length and can be worn with anything underneath. I bought them as I knew I could easily where them with tights and a long-sleeved top in winter too - they were in the sale as well which is always a bonus! In this outfit, I wore them with an old cropped button-up white tie top from Newlook that I bought a few years ago. I also love the pop of green in the outfit with my Monki sunglasses I bought in London a couple of months ago. The clashing colours paired with the ditsy pattern of the dungarees makes this an overall fun outfit for summer!

Outfit Number 3 - Beach

Kimono - Quiz £16.99
Shorts - Missselfridge £32
High-wasted Bikini - Topshop £10

I absolutely loved wearing this outfit on the beach! This kimono is a beautiful mix of vibrant bold flowers and pretty pastels. The chiffon gives it a very sheer appearance making it perfect to wear over a bikini, and it made me feel quite angelic as it blew in the breeze (haha). Speaking of bikinis, this one was extremely bargainous at just £10! It's the high-wasted balconette style from Topshop and I love it as it's so flattering. The shorts are a great length and have a slight flare around the thighs. Although I paired them with my bikini, I think the casual more over-sized appearance of them would be perfect for a festival!

Outfit Number 4 - Evening Stroll
MOTO Fitted Denim Jacket - Topshop £45
MOTO Tile Print Leigh Jeans - Topshop £40

These super soft leigh jeans paired with my denim jacket were a great match for an evening stroll down by the pier. I love the pattern of the jeans as it's busy and pretty yet not too overbearing. I wore this outfit with this cute white top that I bought from Topshop a few months back. I'm fairly tall but I bought the petites version of the top as I preferred the more cropped look.




Outfit Number 5 - Day Walk

Collared Blouse - Topshop £25
Gingham Shorts - Topshop £30

This one has to be my favourite outfit, it's just so casual and cute! The floral print collar and matching buttons is just adorable! The blouse was from the vintage section in Topshop down Oxford Street when I went to London a couple of months ago, so I like how it's unique. It's such a soft fabric! I absolutely love these gingham shorts though. They are so loose fitting and not too short and the fact the material isn't too thick makes them lovely and cool for summer. They're in the sale now though at just £18! With my coordinating tan rucksack, belt and shoes, I was ready to face a long summer day walk!

So they were my 5 Southwold summer outfits!

I hope you like them as much as I do :)

Speak soon,

Alex

    Thank you :) It was definitely a good bargain and I am so looking forward to wearing it on my holidays this Summer! I will definitely look out for that; I'm desperately in search for some good swimwear so that would be much appreciated!

Pastel Pink Perfection

Hey everyone! So the other week I was scrolling through the Missguided website and found this beauty... What can I say? It's got the faux fur lining, the silky suede fabric, and the pastel pink colour. It had my name written all over it, so of course, I had to buy it. As soon as I opened the package when it arrived, I snuggled myself into the super soft fabric and genuinely felt like a teddy bear. I've already had so many compliments on this beautiful jacket and I've only worn it twice! I can already tell it's going to be my Autumn/Winter staple. I was initially supposed to be looking for a practical coat for Winter, but given the option between practical or pastel? It's a no brainer ;) Let's just hope it doesn't rain! Pink Faux Shearling Coat - Missguided £49.99   Jumper - Topshop Jeans - Zara Skirt - Missguided £9.99 Shoes - Primark £12 Speak soon! Alex x

Aus Adventure: Welcome to Travel

Hello Everyone, I hope you’re all safe and well during these very strange times. I am currently living at Spot X Surf Camp on the East Coast of Australia during the COVID 19 pandemic. It’s a weird feeling being at the other side of the world during all of this madness, but I figured I would use this time to reflect on my Australian journey. I’m sure there are so many people so eager to travel when all of this is over, so I thought I’d return to my blog and write up a cheeky post reflecting on my first couple of weeks in Melbourne pre-lockdown. I always knew I wanted to work and travel in Australia, but I just had no idea where to even start with organising it, especially seeing as I knew I was travelling on my own (scary times). I remember googling ‘tours around Australia’ and it just felt like there were so many different things that popped up that all seemed to say the same thing, leading me to feel more lost with it all. I’ve done lots of travelling before, but I alwa...

Why Instagram is the worst app to be addicted to...

Hey Everyone! So today in the midst of essays, exams and revision, I figured I would write a post about the app that makes our thumbs sore from scrolling, the biggest form of procrastination yet, and the friend we all love but also hate. Yep, you've got it, I am going to put my hands in the air (or on the keyboard) and have a rant about Instagram. Firstly, I have an Instagram addiction. I have always been a lover of the ol' gram. I love capturing moments and making them look as pretty as possible, even if that does mean photos looking staged or unrealistic. I've always loved sharing memories with the world, liking my friends' photos, and even exploring the accounts of other creative people, and following them like I've known them my whole life. It honestly felt like I'd gained an award when Dr. Martens requested for one of my pictures to be posted on their official account. I was buzzing like a bee. However, recently I've found myself not enjoying Inst...
