summer has arrived!

Top & Jeans Topshop, Nails Barry M Mint, Lips MAC Lustering. 

For it to be hot even in the North East is a definite sign that summer is actually here (even if it is only April). It's so lovely to be able to go out without having to wear some sort of cardigan or jacket, is it just me or do coats always spoil an outfit? So today we went to the seaside, not quite warm enough to go on the beach as it's always much colder at the coast but just being in the whole beachy atmosphere was enough. Lula took it as an opportunity to watch everyone (she's a huge fan of people watching) and lie down to sunbathe, aw I love having a doggy in the summertime!

I wore the red floral top which i've shown you all before in an outfit post with my new Topshop Jamie jeans. If you've read my blog for a while you'll know that I went round every shop to find a cheaper Jamie style alternative   and settled for some H&M ones. Learnt a huge lesson though, you get what you pay for as far as jeans are concerned. The fit just wasn't right at all, nothing worse than a pair of bad fitting jeans I think. I love these ones though, perfect fit and colour at last. The photo doesn't show the ankle grazer style of them but never mind.

I'd love any mascara reccomendations too. I try a different one everytime I need a new one but I still haven't found any that really stand out. I've heard a lot about collection 2000 big fake lash? Anyway, I hope you're all making the most of the sunshine, love you all!

Your doggy is adorable Ashleigh! It's a bloody phenomenon it being warm in the north east isn't it! Haha. I agree that coats can spoil an outfit, so thank god it's warmed up. xxxx

Your dog is so cute! I'm loving the warmer weather! I'm currently using the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara which I really like, not sure if you've tried it but i'd recommend it :) x

yay to the summer sun- how gorgeous has it been. Love your top here, it's so pretty!
I'm like you, I try a lot of new mascaras. Benefit bad gal lash is my fav, but I recently purchased a models own one, which was actually pretty good for the price
