Summer has arrived

A couple of weeks ago, we both went for a walk and ended up at a nearby park that we hadn't visited in years. We took a couple of photos that we wanted to share with you. Although these photos were taken before the sun decided to poke its head around the clouds along with the unbearable heat that the UK is currently experiencing, it was still rather warm so we decided to play around with daisies and other flowers in preparation of summer's arrival.

Let us know if you would like to see more lifestyle or artistic photos like the ones above from us! We think it's refreshing to mix up our blog a little bit and explore with different post ideas.

The Sound of Sunshine

Now that summer has officially started, I'm constantly discovering and listening to exciting new music that's getting me in a happy, summery mood. Although here in England, the weather is disappointing 99.9% of the time, I thought I'd share a few of my favourite summer songs to get you in the mood, whether you're going on holiday somewhere tropical, or even just staying at home and making the most out of the decent, sunny weather. So sit back, relax and dream about the beach and the scorching sun!

• Don't Know What Else To Do - The Jungle Giants

• Best Day Of My Life - American Authors

• California Sunrise - Dirty Gold

• Oceans - Coasts

• Shooting Stars - Bag Raiders

• Houdini - Foster The People

• Get Lucky - Daft Punk ft. Pharrel Williams

• My Number - Foals

• Cashin' Dreams - The White Panda

• Paradise - Coldplay

• Mother We Just Can't Get Enough - New Radicals

Print Perfection

I've recently become addicted to prints - graphic prints, boho prints, grunge prints, floral prints. Basically, absolutely any print. I thought I'd show you a few of my favourite items that I'd love to get my hands on. 9/10 of these items are from Topshop or Urban Outfitters because their prints never fail to disappoint me and also because I have an unhealthy obsession with their clothes.

(from left to right)

001: I absolutely love these wave print joggers. They'd be perfect for chilled days paired with some converses and a cute tee.

002: This dress has such a gorgeous pattern and although quite dark, is balanced well with the cinched waist and short sleeves for a girly finish. It would look great with a leather jacket!

003: I've seen this strappy sun top in the shops for a while now and just think its an ideal cover up for a beach day abroad or on one of England's rare summer heat waves. It has a loose, flowy fit so would be perfect for keeping cool, yet still being practical. 

004: I.am.in.love! This bohemian playsuit is absolutely gorgeous. I desperately want this in my wardrobe!

005: I stumbled across this daisy bralet on Wanelo a couple of weeks ago. I adore the red, black and blue pattern. Again, it's quite dark and revealing, but would look amazing with a black, high wasted skater skirt and a denim jacket, making it instantly wearable.

006: I adore Cath Kidston and so I had to have something floral in this post! I can imagine styling this tucked into some denim shorts, tights and boots for spring.

007: Okay, this may not suit me or be my style, but I think the print, shape and fit of this dress is fabulous! I also really like the collar and buttons, plus, the three quarter length sleeves really make it stand out.

008: Another Urban Outfitters playsuit I desperately want! I'd style this with an oversized denim jacket, combat boots and statement jewellery. 

009: I'm obsessed with Keeping Up With The Kardashians, so when I first heard about Kylie and Kendall's clothing line last year, I was so excited! I love this cute little, bandeau top and think Kylie rocks it amazingly here with the military jacket.

010: I've always loved fairisle prints and thanks to Topshop I've really been loving dresses lately, so this dress seems like the ultimate want. I also like how Topshop's cinched-waist dresses fit me.

I hope you've enjoyed this post. Let me know in the comments if you like any of my picks. Sorry for the absence again but we are still alive and we'll have some new posts up soon.
