summer shopping

As promised, I thought i'd do a little post on some of my purchases from my little bit of holiday shopping in Leeds with my mum on Thursday. Here's what I bought:

Beach Tote, Topshop

I was a bit worried that I don't really have any appropriate bags to whack a towel and a book in to head to the beach so when I spotted this beauty in the Topshop sale I was quite pleased. I really love the summery floral print! The materials really unusual, its a bit like a thin version of the material on an anorak (...? my textiles knowledge isn't great haha!) so hopefully it will be ok with a damp towel. And its not too much of an obvious beach bag so hopefully i'll get it out back in the UK too!

Vest Tops, Primark

Standard Primark purchase. Not very exciting, but I was quite impressed with some of the brighter coloured ones. I went with a grey one to replace a really old grey lace trim one from New Look that I had to throw away after years of summer lovin' - i really hate having to throw loved clothes away.

Pink Suede Bow Wedges, M&S

Not my favourite choice of shoe store (!) haha, but I had a voucher to spend from the absolutely amazing and lovely lady next door from way back at my cocktails party for my 21st. She's over the 70 milestone I think, maybe even hitting 80, so she obviously went with a store voucher from one of her faves. I don't mind some of the shoes in there though, so I spent it on some mid-wedges that I really wanted rather than big heels. I love the colour of these and the suede bow front details. Hopefully they'll be ideal.

Shorts, Miss Selfridge

Finally, I picked up these shorts in the Miss Selfridge sale for a really good price which is great when they're exactly what I was looking for. A fun, summery colour and ripped and worn looking. I really liked the length, I had a look around quite a few places and the short shorts trend is taken faaar to far in some cuts. I don't see how anyone is attractive with bum cleavage hanging out the back. 

I've just realised that all my buys are very pink heavy haha! I must have had a bit of a unconscious theme going on.

So, thats it! I'm so excited to go off and pack for it now. I can't wait for a week on the beach, by the pool, in the sun and out having tons of drinks with some of my absolute favourite girls! It's going to be a blaast. I'll update you on the other side with hopefully lots of pictures and amazing memories.

Lots of pre-spanish love,

Becca xx
