roman holiday


Whole outfit: Topshop

I'm headed to Rome in June with my mum and I recently picked up this skirt for my trip. I'm never usually one for long skirts, but in some cases certain churches, and the Vatican, don't let you in if you aren't wearing 'appropriate' clothing. I absolutely love it though, so perhaps in the future I'll be a bit more adventurous and wear this skirt outside of my holiday! The sandals are another holiday purchase, they're Topshop's 'Heartbreakers'. I love them, though I do think everyone under the sun will be wearing them this summer. I think this outfit is cute, but needs a bit of colour or jewelry. Perhaps next time I'll brighten it up with some lipstick. And I definitely need to paint my toenails! 

Bag: Primark

I've been looking for a new handbag for so long. My old Urban Outfitters one fell apart a good few months ago and I've been surviving on tote bags for far too long. I always go for brown leather (well, fake leather) for my bags, I don't know why to be honest, they just always seem to go with everything. I finally picked up this Primark one for £8 the other day. I'm really surprised, I usually avoid Primark, but this bag is pretty great - although I don't see it lasting for very long, but for £8 you can't really complain.

out tonight + topshop lip bullet

Top: Topshop, Skort: Topshop, Shoes: Topshop

Skort: Topshop

I'm off out tonight, and I think this is the outfit I'm going to wear. I've only just realised how Topshop heavy it is! The crop top is very old, but they do still sell it. I washed it in a dubious looking washing machine at a hostel and it's not been the same since - but it works well here. The gingham skort (I think that's the name we'll go for!) is a new purchase from the flagship store in London. I've never liked skorts much, but since putting one on my wishlist, I've been hankering after a pair.

I'm also wearing Topshops Lip Bullet in 'Bewitched', which is another new purchase. I'm not a huge beauty expert, and I very rarely wear lipstick, but this matte pink is really great. It's a very melty and creamy formula, so be careful where you store it.
