Say Hello To Yellow.


I recently bought a new nail polish. And I can safely say that I'm maybe *this* much obsessed.
Its this beautiful vibrant banana yellow colour, that somehow manages to not make the wearer look like they have a disease and instead looks beautifully summery.

Its not pale enough to be a pastel, yet not bright enough to be a neon. It strikes that difficult balance and the result is truly unique. I can't think of the last time I saw someone wear a nail polish similar to this.

'What better time to break out of your nail polish rut and try something new than summer!' 
Was my justification, swinging my Debenhams carrier bag through the shopping center: a pricey/bright/slightly scary nail polish secretly nestled inside.
It's a Butter London nail polish in the shade 'Cheeky Chops': if you want to get your desperately plain fingertips on it.

This was my first Butter London polish, and I must say that I am quite impressed with the smooth and easy application... and the opacity in one coat! 
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen you heard right (which I was not expecting, espically being such a light colour)
So yes. I'm not sure whether this is a summer fling, but I'll let you know if in the colder months I'm still reaching for my banana nail fix.

Barry M currently have a promotion where if you spend £6 on selected Barry M, you receive a free limited edition nail paint. There are two colours to choose from: Pink and Yellow (quite similar to the one I reviewed up there!) 

If you want to dabble in the world of yellow polishes but are not prepared to fork out circa £12, this offer may be a good place to start! Link HERE

Summery Outfit of the day!



This is my first outfit of the day, so pretty please don't judge me too harshly!
Yesterday was such a sunny day in England (yes they do exist :-)

I wore this outfit out and about, doing errands.
I'd had a verry emotional couple of days (so sorry if I  look a bit moody in some of the pics) but was determined to get this outfit photographed as I really liked it, and thought it was perfect for those chilled summer days where you want something that will keep you cool, and is stylish at the same time.


I included a couple of different ways you can wear it, by adding/taking away items of clothing. E.G: putting on the denim jacket in the evening. 

Dress: Pink and white w/ zebra pattern in the background and zebra's in the foreground from H&M. ( I couldn't find the dress on the H&M website but found it HERE
Shoes: Tan Moccasin-inspired flats from Primark. 


Hair clip: A present from my brother years ago from when he went on holiday. 

Hat: from primark last summer. 

                                                 Denim jacket: New look
                                                 Shoulder bag: Internationale

I tried to include as many links as I could,but most of this stuff had been knocking about in my wardrobe for quite some time ;-)


Hope you enjoyed this OOTD!
