The Wedding Planner .

Ever since watching JLO in the wedding planner its been one of my ideal jobs. So when I stumbled (accidently of course) onto all the various pinterest boards people had made for their big day I was literally amazed at the stuff people do.

Of course there would be the standard Instagram hashtag personalised to your wedding. What better than choosing from hundreds of natural photographs of different points of the day you were unaware were being taken - espeically as if your someone like me who hates photos you can pick and choose which ones you upload yourself - tactical.




Now not that I plan on getting married anytime soon, even though it has been implied that out of my circle of friends il be first to tie the knot when the day comes I dont want to spend 5 years planning it - Therefore call it my organisation skills (or that im a freak) that have lead me to creating a premature pinterest board for my own wedding. Also backs you up if your boyfriend has a mad one and applies for dont tell the bride - pinterest boards arent cheating right?

Anyway first things first - the engagement ring. Now I have always said I am not that bothered about haivng the huge expensive ring as its about the commitment and not the size of the rock on my finger. However after looking at some potential rings I have to admit, who am i kidding- GIVE ME THE BIG ROCK! This doesnt mean it has to be thousands of pounds but I do want a big shiny ring.

At first I loved the square shaped rings - i literally dont think id be able to stop looking at my hand...



But then I found this gold simple band with a (rather big) stone with matching diamond wedding band and I fell in love. Me and my friends had the discussion the other day of silver or gold - i think I would go with the gold!


The dress was just too much to decide I think i'll be undecisive to the day I walk down the alter, theres literally 100000000000 kinds of wedding dresses with lace, buttons, creme, beige, white.

I also found some really cute things people now do on their wedding day - Im such a romantic, even though my boyfriends idea of romance is a pot of candy king and a night in on the sofa, these are such good ways to save memories!





Ive always invisioned myself getting married on a beach somewhere, really small and simple, and then returning home to a huge party threw in my garden. But after looking on Pintrest I think I would miss out on all these new cools things people are doing at these bigger weddings.

Anyway - until the day comes - my wedding planning hobby will remain!

New shoesies .


I've been looking for a pair of 'functional' heeled summer sandals for a while now but the white/black block pairs I just couldn't like - I really tried but these were the first pair I really loved and the heel was just tall enough and the fit was perfect! I got these a few months ago in New Look for £24.99 (minus student discount ;)). They are so comfortable considering they are slightly heeled and deffinatley will be a staple shoe for my summer wardrobe!

I seem to have lost 90% of my shoes from moving between houses and back from Uni so I've had to reinvest - I can't walk around bare foot now can I? And when it came to summer sandals I knew Primark would not dissappoint.


I've had three people comment on how they 'love my birkenstocks' only to them have to correct them and let them know I purchased these gems for £4.00 from primark. My only regret was not getting another pair as we all know Primark shoes only have one season of wear before they start to fall apart. But for £4.00 I would of bought 10 pairs!


I also picked these up for my 'when I have a job wardrobe'(workrobe) for £6 from primark. It's becoming quite frustrating having a degree and nearly a masters degree to still be struggling to find a full time job! Therefore I am distracting myself by buying my work wardrobe. I absoultley love Office wear, if all fashion head offices could just relocate to around the West Midlands I would be set!

More 'workrobe' posts to follow.

Swimwear obsessed .

As mentioned in my previous post I haven't got any holidays booked so I've been forbidden by my mother to invest in any swimwear, however I found a way around it! 



Picked up this mesh black swimsuit from Next for £20.00. Its really figure flattering but not too close to a speedo costume my mum used to try to force me into for swimming galas. The back is a low scoop back and except from a slight wardrobe malfunction of needing some help fastening the back I love it!! 

Of course this purchase is not frowned upon as its 'practical'. Going to try and get back into swimming and practical swimwear is of course essential, Sorry mum!

Triangl swimwear .

Been stalking this brand on Instagram for months after seeing Renee Somerfield and other beach beauts wearing the swimwear! I love the distinctive material and cut and the original use of bright colours and prints. IF I ever manage to get a holiday booked this summer i'll be investing in one of these!


The silver and lime is my fave!



Wouldn't mind a beach body like this for my potential holiday too!
