H&M - You're doing it right.

With this beautiful weather (apparently it's not going to last next week where I am, boo!) I cannot stop myself from looking for summery clothes. Almost every girl in my year today wore a skirt or a dress today. However, I am trying to save my money for just general things in life that are going to be expensive that are coming up soon like driving lessons and university and everything else. This has caused a little bit of a problem because at the moment by current total cost of my H&M basket is £107.93 (I just removed a £2.99 skirt in the hope of bringing it down, who do I think i am?). Now obviously, I am not going to spend all this money that I don't have but that won't stop me lusting after it. 

£29.99

£14.99

£12.99

£19.99

£7.99

The H&M Website

I don't know if you will have noticed but there is a reoccurring pattern here, literally a pattern. I don't really know what to call the pattern, does anyone know? But I absolutely love it. They also do a £2.99 shirt in this pattern on the website but it's only in a size eight so if that's you, go fast people!  

I am going to have to go and painstakingly clear my basket on the H&M website but I don't think I can bring myself to removing the £7.99 patterned skirt. It's too beautiful. 

What do you think of the pieces I have chosen from the H&M website? Are you fishing out your summer clothes?

i told you to be patient

This is my go-to outfit at the moment. It's comfy and I like how it looks. All the clothes are from primark and the gladiators are from Tesco but I got them years ago but didn't really wear them, lucky they are still 'in'. 

The weather is deceptively hot today. I had to go to boots to buy my friend a birthday present and so wore my shorts (first photo) a vest top and my denim jacket. My denim jacket is actually really light and cool so I thought that would be okay. Besides it looked sunny outside but the trees were blowing like there was a decent breeze.. oh no. I felt no detection of a breeze. I was practically melting by the time I got home and so made my self the beaut of a drink you see above. Forgot to put the ice cubes away though and water leaked all over the floor. Cleaned up but left with some very small ice cubes.

I have subscriptions to Company and Marie Claire. I got the subscription to Marie Claire when they had the 12 issues for £12 deal, bargain.  I also got Look because I've seen on Twitter and on Lily's blog about her feature and I'm always up for reading about blogging. Emma Watson is Company's cover girl this month.. I love her. I want to be her best friend. They also have some really good articles this month and also there is a 'now I'm grown up I want to be a..' which was really interesting. There are twenty different jobs and you're told a little bit about how to get to the job and what it involves etc. 

Anyway, enough ramble.

my IDEAL festival

here.

Seeing as its the festival season. Glasto has just gone, T in the park is happening and Reading, V and Latitude among others are yet happen. It's unlikely that your going to like every single artist on a line up at one of these because well there is usually quite a few so I've decided to create my own. This is where my festival comes in, perfectly crafted for me. 

Rules: 5 headliners. 15 other acts. 2 presenters. 1 style Icon.

They can be dead, alive, broken up or still together. Anything goes really. 

Five Headliners:  Beyonce. Queen. Adele. Lady Gaga. Coldplay

15 others: Sweedish House Mafia. Katy Perry. Mcfly. Chipmunk. N-dubz. Ed Sheeran. Example. Tinie Tempah. Scouting for Girls. Deep Blue Something.The Script. Boys Like Girls. Rihanna. Taylor Swift. We the Kings. 

2 Presenters: Fern Cotton. Rick Edwards .. (and me.. obvs) 

1 Style Icon: Karen Gillan

Brief  Descriptions:


Headliners - Beyonce because we all saw her at glastonbury and lets be honest that would be a good thing to repeat. Queen because it would be amazing and the atmosphere would be crazy. Adele because she would play on the last day of my festival just to give a chilled vibe. Lady Gaga because the performance/show would be amazing. Coldplay because T in the Park made me love them.

Others - I've tried to create a varied line up. A little bit of quite a few things.

Presenters - Fearne Cotton because I want her job (and to be her best friend). Rick Edwards because he's hilarious and I'm gutted he's leaving T4!

Style Icon - This was a difficult one. I wanted to stray from the obvious Alexa Chung and Kate Moss. I opted for Karen Gillan because one, she seems lovely and two her style is amazing.

(I can't remember where I found these, usually through google searches but if anyone knows any more specific places please let me know, not mine.)

I want the mud, the rain and the sun. 

And yes, I would definitely want the Rooney's there. 

What do you think of my festival? I'd love to read what your ideal festival would be!

SUMMER HAS STARTED!

It is officially summer. 

My exams are done and i literally have nothing to do now. No school, homework, coursework or anything. 

My last exam was textiles on wednesday. I had finished (and checked my answers) and totally had a high school musical moment, staring at the clock waiting for summer to start. 

I never have to go to school again. I have finished compulsory education. It feels so weird to say that, it's cliche but the time really has gone so fast. It doesn't feel like i've been in secondary school for five years. It's been amazing and not so amazing at times but mostly amazing. I don't feel this old, or look it apparently as me and my friends got mistaken for year 10's (14/15) and when we said no, they went lower to year nine. Surely, you go up. ouch.

Anwyay. I have an insanely long summer this year, about 12/13ish weeks. That is a double summer. I really hope we make the most of it, summers have a tendency to be a let down. We build them up so much and plan all these things that we never do. I think I am off to a pretty good start though. On Wednesday my exam finished at quarter past ten and I went to a friends house with another friend. We ate biscuits and crumpets and watched keeping up with the Kardashians. We also made the window cleaners coffee in fancy dress. Today I went shopping with the same people plus one. Bought a dress which may be shown here, i'm undecided. I also bought some fake tan that I'd been told is really good and cheap. I'll see how it goes and let you know. Tomorrow is the last exam for the people in my friendship group so we're going out for a meal to celebrate and practice walking in our heels. Our aim is to stop looking like we've wet ourselves. It's not going excellently at the moment, prom is seven days away so we have time.

I I Cant wait to get back into blogging. I always kept up on blogs while i had exams but didn't have time to do proper posts and thought I'd just leave it for now. As i said in my last post, I've got some ideas for my blog including layout, header and posts. Obvs, I have a new blog name now so the header needs changing.

Summer plans?

I need to start being productive.

So summer is over in just under a week now, and it will be back to school. And, I think i need to go back to school! Not only to finish GCSE's and whatnot but so I actually have something to do with my day! I think i've spent more time in my PJ's this summer than ever before and slept more than anyone ever has. It's SO bad! Its a lovely day outside, really sunny and just a few clouds in the sky and i'm still sat inside. I have nothing to do! Well, okay. Thats not completely true, i have a few peices of coursework and several homework tasks to do but come on, summer is meant to be fun. I need to excersise aswell! I just go into lazy teenager mode when summer hits. I WILL GO ON A RUN TOMORROW MORNING! .. I will, I will! I'll wake up at 8, go running, be home, showered and ready to meet a friend at 11! (Wishfull thinking!) See i have tomorrow planned and the day after i should be shopping, but today! ITS TEN TO THREE IN THE AFTERNOON AND IM STILL IN PYJAMAS! what is wrong with me?! Okay, Rant over.

So i ruined some shoes yesterday :(. Admittidly it's not much of a loss as i believe they were a £2 purchase, but still, its a sad time. How did i ruin them, i hear you ask ?(Yes, i know you probably dont care a teeny tiny bit, but i'm putting off doing french homework, that i have already attempted twice...) So there was a party last night, it was outside and very very muddy. It was an INCREDIBLY informal affair so i kept it casual with dollies. I'm not going to describe my outfit, because quite frankly I didn't like it. Anyway, staying on track. Everyone else seemed to have chosen sensible footware (what fun is sensible?) like wellies and trainers. I ended up walking to and from the party with various groups of people about four times, which was also a muddy trek, so to cut a very long and dull story short, my once gold and white (they look nicer than they sound) came back BROWN. Safe to say they are going in the bin! Atleast now i have a valid reason to buy another pair of shoes!

Any nice shoes you like the look of? Paste the URL in a comment :)

Ohh, It would have been nice if this post had more of a point to it! I also realise i have used brackets far too often!

Love V xx

P.S. Yet AGAIN my magazine has not come on time, so i am thinking about changing my subscription when this one is over (which is quite soon, i think). Any Ideas? UK magazines :)
