Fat Face have recently released their new Summer collection with items being added every day. Their summer collection is themed around ‘Take Me to the Weekend’ and features summery separates which can be layered up to create different looks for a number of seasonal occasions or just for casual to create your staple weekend wardrobe. A lot of the range is quite neutral so you can mix and match. Festival season is upon us, with Glastonbury just around the corner, so it’s the ideal time to get your outfit ideas sorted!

I adore these pineapple lazer print shorts from Fat Face, they're such a cute, unique design! I like that they're a little longer than your average denim shorts and you can turn them up or down depending on how you want to wear them. The denim short is the ideal staple garment at a festival as you can dress them up or down with so many different colours and prints. I will definitely be getting a lot of wear out of these, they would be ideal to take on holiday with you and perfect to wear for Summer days in the garden!

As it will get cooler in the evenings it’s nice to cover up your arms with a kimono or cardigan. I have styled my shorts with this navy blue callington stripe textured waterfall cover up, which is lovely to wear at the weekend but also smart enough to wear over dresses at work. It's really flattering on most body shapes and It’s light enough to carry if we ever do see some sunshine!

I really like the bucket bag trend which has become current this Spring/Summer. I picked this black one up from Primark for £6.00 and have loved using this when I don’t have to carry much around with me. I also like to layer up my jewellery for a boho chic look, I have picked this tribal necklace which is really affordable from New Look.

Jellies have also come back into fashion, I haven't worn jellies since the 90’s! These multi-coloured butterfly print jellies from Shoe Zone are a nice alternative than wearing sandals, they’re really comfortable and you don’t have to worry about people treading on your toes! You need comfortable footwear you can walk miles in and dance all night in!

I picked this hat up from Bicester Village at the weekend, it's a great accessory to add something to your outfit, you could even wear a floral head crowns for more of a girly look! It’s also nice to accessories your outfit with nail art and/or temporary metallic tattoos. I really like these metallic tattoos from Glossybox which I received in my beauty box this month. They've become really popular to wear this year and you can get all sorts of designs. I painted my nails in Nails Inc Uptown which is a lovely nude pink and used Maybelline Colour Show Brocades polish in Knitted Gold on my ring fingers. With the unpredictable British weather, it may be an idea to also bring a pac-a-mac, sunglasses and some wellies as you never know what the weather is going to be like!

NEW LOOK SUMMER SALE HAUL

I have really been enjoying New Look’s Spring/Summer range this year. I bought a fair few things for my trip to Rome earlier in the year, so when I saw they were having a sale, I was eager to look through the online store for a bargain. I'm much more of an online sales shopper than a store one, but I did manage to pick up a few key pieces.

Firstly I spotted these skirts which I already own in black and blue. These Crochet Hem Skater Skirts are so wearable and I love the simple crochet detailing. I decided to pick up the white and turquoise versions as I can pair these with so many items. They were original priced at £14.99, but I managed to buy them for £7.00 for the turquoise and £9.00 for the white one.

I then saw these Black Embellished Double Strap Sandals. I have had the hyped up Birkenstocks on my wish list for a while now. But when I saw these jewelled versions I put them straight into my basket. These were originally priced at £34.99, I wouldn't of brought them for that price as you can get the Birkenstocks for £50.00. But these were reduced to £13.00, which is a real bargain and doesn’t matter if I only wear them for one season. These also come in leopard and tan.

I also picked up another pair of sandal, these Wide Fit Black Beaded Chain T-Bar’s. I love the detailing on these and the chain detail hardens up a pretty look. These were £11.00 and also come in nude.

I had my eye on this Black and Gold Tile Necklace before the sale and I’m so glad I held out as it was reduced to £3.00 from £7.99. It’s simple but I think it can add a statement to any outfit. I really think New Look have upped their game when it comes to jewellery, I have been buying quite a few necklaces from there.

The total of the full priced items would be £95.95 and my total came to £40.00 with £3.00 discount so I certainly made some savings. I also have my eye on this Black Floral Embroidered Fringe Kimono and this Shell Pink Cap Sleeve Embellished Top Smock Dress. Have you picked anything up in the sales?

PRODUCT RAVE - SUMMER WEDGES

I'm not much of a New Look shopper, but one thing they are really good for are fashionable, affordable shoes. I knew I had to have these wedges when I saw them on the website a few weeks back. They probably won't get regular wear, just because the heels are so high! (5.5") But I know they will be my trustee heels when it comes to a night out or an occasion. They come in this grey colour and also come in black. The chunky platform heel is really comfortable as your weight is distributed and is not just forced to the ball of your foot. They have a metallic gold buckle fastening around the ankle and an ankle support at the back. The peep toe design is nice for summer, and the platform which gives real height if your a short 5ft4 like me. They are really versatile and can be worn with jeans or leggings, as well as with a dress. The best thing about them is the price, £24.99 which is a real bargain as you would pay a lot more for the same sort of thing on the high street. They currently only have them in black on the website, but check in stores as that's where I picked up mine!
