With the sun on my back it's a nice day

Since the weather has been so summery recently I have realised that I don't own very many summer clothes. My wardrobe is mainly coats and jumpers, which I can't seem to stop buying, so a trip to Primark was in order. I only got a few bits but I thought I would share. 

Poppy dress- £13

I had been eyeing up this poppy dress for a while online at ASOS after discovering that they sell a small selection of Primark clothes on there. I hadn't seen it in my local Primark but I had gone out to Gravesend with my dad and that store is much bigger so I was looking in the dress section for it when I spotted one at the back of the miscellaneous rail which happened to be my size. I think it might have been a return from ASOS as the till wouldn't recognise it at first so I'm not sure if they are in stores at all.

 Bow bag - £8

I love small bags and I'm always looking for cute ones to lug my stuff around in. I really like the small handle on this bag but it does also come with a longer shoulder strap. It's quite smart and different to my other bags but I just couldn't leave it behind.

 Polka dot sandals - £8

 As well as realising I own very little summer clothes I also noticed that I don't own any sandals. I have some jelly shoes which I bought last year but they have mysteriously disappeared. I originally had my eye on a pair of white gladiator sandals with thick hardwear but my feet are so awkward and they looked really strange on so I settled for these cute polka dot cross over ones which make me feel all 50s.  

 It's been so nice recently that I've just wanted to stay in the garden all day and relax before I start at university (31 days eek). I hope your all having a nice summer and make the most of this weather!

Wish List 006:

001. Topshop Breton Stripe Tee - I have enough breton stripe t'shirts but I also don't, you know what I mean? This red one is a rad boxy shape and only £16, so why not.

002. Uniqlo Ultra Stretch Jeans - At the moment I only have a pair of black jeans and I wear them all the time so it seems about time I buy some blue ones. Uniqlo's denim is really good quality and not too expensive either.

003. Miss Selfridge Felt Fedora - I love hats but I've never really had the confidence to wear them. I'm hoping that buying this hat would make me look like I'm in a cool girl band but then again maybe my hopes are too high.

Dainty Doll

I have always wanted to try Dainty Doll products but they're not very widely available so I'd forgotten about them until the other day when I happened to be in my local Poundland and I let out a squeak of excitement. I immediately rummaged through the whole section finding the complete colour range. They only had four eyeshadows and a base out of an original nine products but beggars can't be choosers when they are a pound each. Dainty Doll is designed for particularly pale skinned people, and as I'm not the palest in the world I was worried how the colours would transfer to the skin but I thought it was worth a try.

001 Frankie Girl: This is a very pale cream eyeshadow base, for me possibly a bit too pale but used sparingly it blends well. The consistency is a little powdery (like the Topshop creme blushes) and doesn't feel too sticky on the lid, which I was afraid of.

002 Treat Her Like A Lady: This shadow is my favourite out of the four, it's a mauve taupe colour with a slight silver shimmer through it. This would look great used as an all over colour in a smokey eye, or under a cat eye.

004 Copacabana: This is a matte bright aqua blue shadow, I don't usually wear brightly coloured eye shadows and don't own many apart from a sleek palette, but after recently seeing LLYLMRS video on 'Wild Makeup' I was inspired to get out of my comfort zone. I liked how she used her blue shadow wet as a liner and I think its a very wearable way of experimenting with this colour.

007 Lollipops & Roses: This colour is a little scary, a bright fusica pink with silver shimmer. I have always been afraid of reds and pinks in eye shadow in case I look like I've been poked in the eye. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, I might just reserve it for festivals.

008 Jungle: Again, I think in the pan this looks scary, but on the skin it looks like a metallic mint colour with a lot of silver tones. Blended out with some more neutral colours pixiwoo style it would look beautiful.
