OOTD Beach Essential - Crochet Dress

Sunglasses - Gucci

Earrings - BlackTied*

Bracelet - Market Stall in Rome
Dress - Monsoon

I love going to the beach during summer! Once you've picked your best bikini to wear it can sometimes be a challenge to find something cute or suitable to wear over the top, particularly if you know you're going to be walking around away from the beach like to get lunch or dinner after. This dress from Monsoon UK completely fits the bill! It's ideal for a beach day and a walk along the promenade.

This Monsoon UK dress was hand crocheted to exquisite detail! It's light and airy, perfect for hot summer's days; as well as being modestly short and so suitable for walking around it comfortably. I wore this dress for a day at the beach in Bournemouth, UK, with my boyfriend. We spent hours lounging on the beach and swimming in the sea but we did also visit the local park, shops and restaurants and I felt so comfortable walking around in this dress! Monsoon UK do fantastic quality dresses and they never fail to impress me!

I wore some long boho chic inspired jewellery from BlackTied* (see my Boho Chic post about it HERE and get an EXCLUSIVE 10% discount code) which were the perfect mix of bold and subtle to really complement the look. I also wore my hair down in natural curls. I didn't put any products in as I knew I'd get my hair wet in the ocean for beach babe summer waves, nature's salt spray. My hair was so big and curly when I got home!

For beach confidence every time, I highly recommend a crochet dress this summer! No matter what your shape or height, they look gorgeous on everyone, are super comfortable and so worth the money!

Florals Fashion Collaboration with Blushing Beauty

Hello my name is BlushingBeauty and I will link my blog for you below after this quick post. I am going to be showing you an OOTD with the main theme of florals.

 

For my dress I am wearing a light wash denim colour skater dress from Primark. It's really light and flowy and perfect for summer evenings maybe on holiday. On the top is my floral light blazer from Quiz which I adore. It was a bit of a impulse buy and I haven't worn it much but it's so beautiful and has a great structure to it.

 

This outfit is great for maybe a summer wedding or a evening look and I really hope this gave you some inspiration!

OOTD - Just For 5 Pounds*

Bracelet - Market Stall in Rome

Being a student it can be hard to make your budget stretch enough to always wear the latest trends. So finding this website was a real money saver! JustFor5Pounds.com sell a range of items from clothes to accessories and ALL for just £5. I honestly couldn't believe it and was extremely skeptical of the quality. However, this dress is totally amazing and I'm super impressed.

The material is very stretchy but subtly so it doesn't look like it's about to break at the seams at all. It's a very flattering and comfortable fit, making it an ideal summer dress to just chuck on quickly for a relaxing day. The fabric's not see-through either which I was very worried about and the edges aren't frayed or poorly stitched as well. The quality honestly is like that of a high street brand, no one would ever guess that it was a bargain, at all.

I decided to complete my summer casual look with a statement long necklace from BlackTied* and other jewellery with a pair of wedges from Marks and Spencer. But this dress would go with lots of great accessories to create a range of looks, such as a small, loose belt, denim jacket, kimono, flowers in your hair or hobo bag. The dress is deal for almost any location too, for example a day in town, in the park, at the beach or lounging around. Even if this dress had been £20, I've quickly got enough wear out of it to warrant that price as I've worn it heaps, it's that comfortable. But at just £5 you really cannot go wrong.

Boho Chic with BlackTied* PLUS Exclusive Discount!

Under Top - Marks and Spencer

Dress - New Look, Handcrafted Parisian Collection

One of my new favourites for my jewellery has to be BlackTied. Their style is ideal for summer and perfect for many looks and styles. I chose the handmade turquoise gemstone triangle, gold chain drop earrings and the handmade gemstone teardrop pendant on gold chain necklace. Lots of their jewellery is handmade and outstanding quality, the pieces feel like they're from a boutique in a far off exotic land.

I thought I'd go with a boho chic look, which is really in this season, to match the essence of the pieces. I wore my much loved crochet dress from New Look's Handcrafted Parisian Collection last year. It is however completely see-through, so I always pair it with my handcrafted lace skirt from their same collection and wear an under-top to make it look like a whole dress.

The jewellery feels great on. I wondered if the turquoise gemstones would be heavy in my ears or hurt banging my neck as they swung in the wind but you can actually barely feel they're there and they're not heavy at all. They feel very delicate and are comfortable in your ears all day.

I chose to go with two long chain pieces to really accent the boho, free-spirit look and they work really well together. But you could also wear them as everyday pieces or mix-and-match, for example, by having the necklace as a feature piece paired with small earrings and vice versa. The gold chains are fabulous quality, they're very dainty and delicate, and certainly don't feel like they're about to break or turn you a funny shade of green if you wear it too long.

The gemstone on the necklace is just perfect. It's not too big so could easily go with any outfit, day/night, casual, work or formal and with it's long chain can also make it a great feature piece. The gemstone itself is perfectly crafted and smooth, and comes in three different colours so there's one for every look.
