April Favourites

So as it's nearly the end of April I thought I'd blog some of my favourite things from this month! Here goes...

Clothes
H&M:
This top I purchased at the start of the month form H&M. Its a really thin material which is perfect to fling on over a bikini or a vest during summer. On the straps there are little cut out diamonds which adds a certain edge to the vest. It is so unbelievably comfortable to wear. Online it comes on a variety of colours and I will link it here.

£7.99




I also purchased a dress from H&M but cannot find it online. However I was first directed towards the dress after I saw it in SHOUT Magazine (I think...). I would take a picture but my camera isn't working!

New Look:

This Aztec print tube skirt is really really comfortable to wear. It has a beautiful pastel orange and blue pattern. I match this with a plain colour vest top because the pattern and the plain work really well but that's just me. There was also a matching off the shoulder top which would look really nice as a pair. I will leave a link to it here.

£7.99

This plain black kimono works really well with a summer outfit. The bottom has a crochet-type pattern which makes this look awesome with any outfit. You can wear with denim, pattern, absolutely anything. Also from New Look. I will link it here.




Music:
Smile - The Vamps
King - Years & Years
Sugar - Maroon 5


If you haven't heard these songs you should definitely check them out. I feel as though they have a really summery vibe! 

Home:
These lights pictured are £44.89 online however I bought an almost identical set of lights from Primark at £6. They are SO cute and I have mine twirled around my bed. They are like copper Moroccan style balls. From Primark they are battery operated and can be used almost anywhere. As far as I can remember there were 20 in the box. I for looking for any fairy lights I recommend having a peep in Primark! 



I have just realised this is a pretty long post so I'll leave it there!
Until next time xxx

P.S. Please let me know if you like this style of post and if you want to see it again! Please excuse the font my I really struggled whilst trying to upload this one! x

Norfolk Weekend Away

Last weekend me and my family had a little weekend away in Norfolk. We stayed in a B&B which served very nice breakfast and had rather quirky rooms... We arrived on the Friday and left on the Sunday but fitted lots in. Friday included a trip to the beach and a wander around arcades. 
Saturday, however included a lot more! We visited Thrigby Wildlife Gardens, a bit of a mini zoo, and had a great time, It may have been a little bit on the rainy side. After spending the morning and a little of the afternoon there we went and visited the beach again and wondered around some of the local villages, and purchasing an ice cream. Yum!



On Sunday we went to Great Yarmouth Sea life centre (The last couple of pictures) which was really fun. Big fish, little fish, tortoises, sharks, starfish, You name it they had it!(Sea creatures that is!) After, My mum and I went and sat by the sea to have some chips and a drink whilst the others played a very long Crazy Golf! And then it was time to set off home.
It was a lovely weekend away, and it was nice to get away from all the studying and revising I've been doing for exams next week.


Until next time xxx

Five Little Ways to Lift Your Mood

1. Listen to music regularly. Music that you like. Listening to music by your favourite artist is proven to make you feel better. Or listen to music with lyrics relating to you and the way you feel. This can make you realise your not the only one feeling the way you are. But listening to upbeat music will definitely help lift your mood!

2. Drink soft drinks. This could be water, fruit juice or even some fizz. Having fluids in your body can make you feel much better. When your feeling low, being dehydrated definitely won't help you feel any better. So drink!

3. Wear clothes your comfortable in. Don't try and follow the latest trends or the most expensive thing on the rail. Wear what you like and what you feel comfortable in. This can be joggers and a sweatshirt. Or a frilly skirt with a lace top! Absolutely anything! Wearing what you like is a great way to lift your mood and make you feel better about yourself.

4. Be around the ones that love you! This can be family and friends. When your feeling low you struggle to see who cares and loves for you. So take a breath and think about those who want to help you and make you feel better!

5. Dance in the rain! I don't mean literally, I mean do things that you love and that are maybe a bit out of your comfort zone. Don't let the "rain" stop you from doing things, Go right through it and do whatever you enjoy!
Until next time! x
