Things I really like..



I am so so sorry for not posting in such a ridiculously long time!!
Since my last post I have finished my year long placement from university and have been on a much needed holiday!
I though I would share a few pictures with you from my time in Antalya, Turkey.. more to come..
The playsuit I am wearing in these pictures is from River Island, as are the sandals. My studded clutch bag is from Zara.
I bought most of my clothes from River Island for my holiday because they seem to be the only place that I can find things I really like at the moment.
I have already started looking at Autumn/Winter pieces and it seems like River Island is going to be my favourite again (Taking over from Topshop!). Maybe I will do a Like.Want.Need River Island special soon.. Watch this space!

Hope you've all had a lovely summer so far :)

Like.Want.Need.

River Island cami top
Zara clutch bag
Zara sandals
River Island skirt
Topshop Leigh jeans
River Island playsuit

Like.Want.Need the sun is (finally) out in England edition!!..

I'm really in to all the little cami style tops that are out for this summer, particularly in bright colour pop, neon shades. This River Island one is the perfect shade of neon yellow and is only £12! The cute swing style shape detail will make this so flattering so this is definitely on my 'to purchase' list.

They have made a matching clutch!!!! You may remember a couple of months ago I posted about a pair of amazing Zara heels (here), well they have now bought out a beautiful matching bag! The shoes are still on my wishlist and now I neeeeeed to have both! 

As you can probably tell, Zara are my absolute favourite for shoes and accessories. These gold detail sandals are just perfect. I really like the double ankle strap and the fact that these could so easily be dressed up or down. 

I am currently a little bit obsessed with black and white horizontal stripes. I want them on everything! So of course I would want this tube skirt from River Island. I think this would look great with the neon cami or a boy fit white t-shirt..

As you probably all know I am in love with Topshop Leigh jeans, so summer colour variations of them are definitely for me! I've wanted a pair of orange jeans for the past few summers but have never found any I liked enough to buy. This pair may just be the ones!

I really love the shape of biker jackets and the colour and pattern of this River Island one really updates the classic biker for spring/summer. The material is a kind of aztec inspired jacquard which is really pretty and interesting. This would look so lovely with blue jeans for a casual daytime outfit.

How cute is this River Island playsuit?!? I love the embroidery detail adding the pop of summer colour. I really want to buy this for my holiday in the summer to wear over a bikini for the day time.

Like.Want.Need.


Topshop Maxi Dress
Topshop Sandals
Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation
H&M Trousers
River Island Bikini
Topshop Dress

So, as you can probably tell, I reallllllly want it to be summer right now!! I've just had a week off work so have had lots of time to shop online and may have happened to accidentally book a holiday for July! 
This has inspired me to start shopping for my summer wardrobe..

I love the blurred pink floral print on this Topshop maxi, it also has really cute cut out detail on the front and back. I think this dress would be so perfect for a summer wedding with sandals or dressed down for a bbq with a denim jacket and sunglasses.

I really really want to buy these Topshop sandals so badly.. I had a similar pair of leopard print ones from Next last year that I loved and practically wore every day until they broke so these would be a perfect replacement. They're sold out in a few sizes now though so may have to consider ordering the size up and hope that they fit.

So, I've heard a lot about Estee Lauder double wear foundation and think it's about time I give it a try. A foundation with a bit of staying power is something I really need. For some reason, I tend to touch my face a lot during the day, particularly around my chin and mouth, which rubs off the make up in these areas. I'm hoping that this foundation will not rub off at all and will leave me with a really smooth looking complexion.

How cute are these H&M blue ditsy floral print trousers?! I love that they're ankle grazer length so will look great with sandals or converse/vans type shoes. These are so much more exciting that regular jeans for spring.

I found this necklace while looking through The Hunt, which is a really great website that I've come across recently. The site basically allows you to upload pictures of things (generally clothes, jewellery, shoes, home items) that you've seen on the internet or wherever (images are mostly taken from tumblr, we heart it, instagram etc) and you can ask other users to help you find where the item can be purchased from. I think this is such an amazing idea because theres been so many occasions in the past where I've seen something I like but even after endless googling still cant seem to find where it's from!
This necklace is from a seller on Etsy called Jenny and Jude, it's rolled gold and turquoise and is sooo pretty. I can just imagine how nice this would look against a tan..

I really like the print design on this bikini from River Island and also think the little zips add a really nice detail. When I'm on holiday I absolutely refuse to wear anything during the day with straps because I hate tan lines so this will be perfect for me.

This teal/turquoise tshirt dress from Topshop is already majorly selling out!! This is one of those things that is so easy to wear but is also such a statement item. I can imagine just throwing this on over a bikini for lunch by the beach or adding some jewellery and cute sandals to go out in the evening.
