Summer Haul | Primark, H&M, Asos, New Look + Missguided

Now that summer as well and truly arrived I thought it was time for a long awaited shopping trip to update my wardrobe and get me summer holiday ready!

Let's start with everyone's favourite, Primark...

The first item I picked up was this blue and white striped, high neck crop top. I really liked the style of this top and I think it will be really easy to wear during summer as you could style it in so many different ways

Crop Top - £5
Similarly, I got this white and black striped tshirt which again I think will be really easy to wear all through summer. I think basic tops like these come in really handy just to throw on at this time of year!

Tshirt - £4

Next I picked up this plain black body suit. I really liked the choker style neckline as it adds a bit of detail. I feel that this item will be really good for nights out during summer.

Bodysuit - £8

If you haven't already checked out Primark's sportswear section I would definitely recommend that you do! I fell in love with this mint and white tie die sport bra as I think it's a perfect way to add some colour to your gym wardrobe!

Sports Bra - £4

Next up is this floral print bikini which I looooove! It will look great with a tan on holiday.

Bikini- £10

Sticking with the beach theme I also bought this beach towel. I really love the bright colours and patterns!

Beach Towel - £7
The last thing I picked up in Primark was this pajama set. You can't go to primark without buying pajamas, right? I thought these would be perfect for warm summer nights and also to take on holiday.
I also think the pattern is really really pretty!

Pajamas - £8

H&M

As I am heading off on holiday in July the main aim of this shopping trip was to pick up some new bikinis and I was extremely impressed with H&M's swimwear collection. They have some amazing pieces which are really inexpensive! I picked up these two bikinis which are the same style but different colours. I was drawn to the detailing down the middle of the top, I just think it gives a simple bikini that extra something!

Bikini - £8

Bikini - £8
Asos

Also with my holiday in mind I picked up the gorgeous co-ord from asos. I really like the boho vibe it gives off and I think it will be a really cute outfit to wear out at night on holiday!

Co-Ord - £42
I also got these sandals which tie up around the leg. I think these will go really well with the co-ord and as they are nude I will be able to pair them with almost anything!

Sandals - £22

New Look

I've been looking for a pair of pink mirrored sunglasses for a while so as soon as I saw these I just had to have them!

Sunglasses - £6

Missguided

Last but not least is the nude tshirt with cross detailing at the neck. Again, I think this will be really easy to wear on summer days and I love love loooooove the colour! I also really like the detailing at the neck as it adds something extra to an otherwise basic tshirt.

Tshirt - £10

Summer clothes are my absolute favourite so I can't wait to continue to add things to my summer wardrobe!!

Packing For Cuba!


I think I'm one of the only people I know that actually enjoys packing for a holiday. Don't get me wrong it does stress me out but on the whole it makes me really excited! I always try to be super organised and have set outfits for set nights with everything all matching but I never fail to over pack which always leads to sweaty palms when my case is getting weighed at the check-in desk! 

Tomorrow I'm flying out to the Caribbean island of Cuba with my mum and my step-dad for a 2 week holiday. It's the third time we've visited Cuba and I'm extremely excited as I fell in love with the country and its culture the very first day I spent there. 

Bikinis are an ESSENTIAL part of any beach holiday. I tend to be verrrrrry picky when it comes to choosing swimwear but this year I managed to find 4 that I really like. I usually go for strapless bikinis as I don't like having tan lines from straps but this year I have ventured out and bought 2 strapless ones, one navy and one black, and 2 with straps, one baby pink with black trim and one with a floral pattern.

Top Right (black): Primark
Bottom Left (navy): Primark
Bottom Right (floral): Boohoo

I thought that these 2 playsuits would be perfect for casual day time outfits.
              

Blue aztec print: Primark
White with fruit print: River Island

For me when it comes to beach cover ups the cheaper the better and this year I have decided to get a bit creative. I bought these two t-shirts from Primark (both in size 18 so the would be really oversized) and I have decided to cut off the sleeves and make them into dresses. Two beach dresses for £4, really can't complain! 

Summer fashion is definitely my favourite so when it comes to choosing outfits to wear at night I am always spoiled for choice. I have managed to whittle down my wardrobe to these 14 outfits...
