When there's a birthday meal looming, you always need a new outfit, right? Well, I saw this jacket yesterday morning when I was shopping in Mansfield, and fell in love. Its a little too big, for a tenner, I couldn't say no. I'm going to Lanzarote in August, and I've already started holiday shopping! The bikini looks lovely on, and the colours really pop too. I've just gone on the Debenhams website to check the price to write on here, and it turns out the bikini set is reduced online! Just my luck.

Crafted printed blazer - £10, Republic / Navy floral bikini - £10 bottoms and £12 bandeau, Red Herring at Debenhams.

I went shopping for my mums birthday this morning in sunny Chesterfield. I won't say what I've got her in case she somehow stumbles across this blog (hi mum if you're reading this!) Obviously I couldn't go shopping without getting myself something.

Sorry for these being really dark! I meant to take photos of these on the day I bought them (Thursday), but I totally forgot. Then I went out last night in the boots, and they're pretty ditched, so I turned one over just to basically hide the mess. I'll 'spill' on what happened last night in another post, because I've got a photo of what I wore too.

Burnout wing oversized vest - £20 / ADORE black suede ankle boots - £35, both Topshop.

Going shopping in Nottingham is never a good idea. I went with the intention of getting an outfit for Friday night, because me and some of my mates are going out in Loughborough. I got the dress, I wanted some Chelsea-ish boots too, but the cheapest were £42, which I wasn't going to pay just for a night out. I've been trying to get hold of the Rolling Stone issue with Jennifer Lawrence on the front for weeks, and nowhere had it. Popped into WHSmith this afternoon, and there it was. I've got a slight girl crush on Miss Lawrence, so I was well chuffed when they had it in stock!

Rolling Stone - £3.95, WHSmith / Sequin sea print shift dress - £15, LOVE at Topshop
'Woodstock' T-shirt - £22, And Finally at Topshop / The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond - £10, HMV.
