Cheska Lemon Yellow Bra | Boux Avenue *

Cheska Lemon Yellow Thong | Boux Avenue *

£24, £10

A few weeks back I was invited to pop along to a nearby Boux Avenue store for a bra fitting. Now, I've got to say, I'm buy my bras from M&S religiously. I'm a bit of an odd size, so they've really been the only retailer to offer affordable awkward sizes on the high-street for a while. But when I browsed the Boux site I was pleasantly surprised - plenty of awkwardly sized bras at very fair prices!

First off, the store was really beautiful, with a real boutique feel. The staff were also fab - especially Kiran who did my fitting. She picked out several options for me in summery shades. I opted to go for an underwear set, despite the bikinis looking fantastic! After trying a few styles on, the Cheska bra was the best style for me. Needless to say, this pastel yellow shade is spot on for the season! 

If like me you're looking to branch out from your usual undie shops, Boux is certainly worth browsing. And don't forget to check out their swimwear range too!

Grey Layered Ruthenium Friendship Bracelet | Links of London *

I'm a massive advocate of any kind of basic, unfeminine, non-fancy-schmancy jewellery. Hence this ruthenium  Links of London bracelet fast becoming my go-to for accessorising. It's right up my street - simple, grey and dark silver. It's actually a men's piece, but the style means it fits my wrist perfectly.

Each bracelet also comes in a lovely little box - making these not just a fab keepsake gift for big birthdays and the like, but it makes it harder to misplace (if you remember to put it back in the box..!). Ideal for absent-minded folks like me...!

A lot of these are in the sale now, so grab a bargain before they sell out!

It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally off on holiday next week. This can only mean several glorious things. 1) Cocktails. 2) Food. 3) Lazing around and 4) Some sunshine in my vitamin D lacking life.

I can't lie, in prep for my holiday out of pure laziness I've been sporting flip flops in the rain quite a lot. Well. Pretty much every other day... I am a little ashamed, as I always used to hate posh uni boys in their jeans and sandals in the winter. But GUYS it's the summer...

These Office sandals from House of Fraser are too comfy to resist even in the all-too-common rains of the British Summer. Totally pretending the rain had never happened in these snaps.

Anyway, I'll be that annoying so and so Instagramming cocktails around the pool next week - so I apologise in advance. But I hear the weather is supposed to be super next week (just my luck!) so enjoy the rays ladies (and lads..?) - be back soon! x
