RIVER ISLAND SUMMER SALE HAUL...



Sorry about the inconsistent photo's, the sun was in & out of the clouds!

So as promised here is the follow up post for the video I posted yesterday. I did intend to set this post out a little differently than I've done before but I'm feeling lazy so same old structure sorry! I feel a little out of the loop blogging about shorts & summery pieces when the rest of the world seem to be moving on to the A/W trends already. The stores are already filling with fur coats & bobble hats but it's still summer in my heart! I will hold on hope that we still have a few weeks of sunshine left while I stock up on summer essentials. Maybe I should cut down the amount of time I spend on tumblr; all those beach & bikini shots are making me lose all sense of reality! I'll probably regret not investing in boots & cardigans now when our eternal winter sets in in the near future, oh well summer FTW. Back to my sale bargains...

Orange Denim Shorts - £24.99 £10 - I GOT THEM! You might remember me blogging about these a few weeks ago in a want post. I did a sneaky online order the morning of the sale as I was up early ready for work & managed to bag a pair! They look amazing with a tan; can imagine wearing them on holidays with a white cut off tee & a perfect tan, ahh.

Floral Pattern Shorts - £19.99 £10 - These are my new babies! I've had nothing but positive comments about these shorts. They just make me think of the gorgeous Stella prints. The only problem with these is that I'm struggling with how to style them. There's so many colour options but stuck with what top to wear them with.

Daisy Print Culottes - £14.99 £7 - There's something about a daisy pattern that I just love! These are super flattering & sooo comfy! I wear them with a plain vest & throw my crochet waistcoat on top! Basic & smart! 

Crochet Jumper - £34.99 £15 - As soon as I saw this I had to have it! I was picturing it worn over a floral playsuit in the summer & worn with chino's as the seasons change. Definitely worth the investment.

Men's Rosary Necklace - £7.99 £2 - I couldn't really leave this for £2! It's my colours & will make a change to wearing silver & gold jewellery.

So that's my basic run down of my sale buys! This post has been on my mind for a while so now it's done & dusted hopefully I'll be able to think of some new & exciting thing to write about...
