Summer Shopping Haul - July 2014

Lately I've been a little bit naughty when it comes to shopping, and have found myself spending more money than usual on clothes, make up and other things. As the weather has been so nice lately - with the few exceptional downpours in between - I've decided to crack out the summer wardrobe, all whilst adding a few more items here and there to the little collection I already have.

I often find shopping for clothes can be quite disappointing, however lately I seem to keep spotting things that I absolutely love. The amount of times I've wanted to buy the entire shop that I have been stood in has been innumerable!

My latest shopping love is boohoo.com. I'm probably late jumping on the bandwagon here, as per usual, but I've always been a little dubious about ordering clothes online. I remember that my mum always used to order things from catalogues when I was younger, but ended up sending most things back because they didn't fit, and that has always been my worry when shopping online. That and I was also worried that the quality might not be so good. I like to try clothes on and usually end up staring in the mirror for a good 30 minutes before I buy something, unless I fall well and truly in love with it and then it's a done deal straight away. I'm digressing now but anyway, I bit the bullet and decided to buy a dress a couple of months back from the boohoo website. I was really happy with it when it came through to me in the post, so a week ago I decided to order a few more of clothes from their website. I spent... more than I usually would and was delighted when I received my package in the mail c:

Along with the various purchases I made from boohoo, I also might have had a little trip into town yesterday and picked up more things. In my defence I am starting my holiday shopping very early to spread the costs over the next few months. Bullshit. Instead of making a huge blog post describing each and every item, I've decided to opt for a different method. Bear with me because this is the first time I have tried this, but I've put together a Youtube video in the form of a look-book, showing all of the different items, and how I've chosen to put them together :) I really enjoyed making this, and thankfully this weekend has blessed us with good weather, so it was nice and sunny when I was filming. All details about the items I've purchased will be in the video description.

Let me know what you think of this new format. As I've said in posts from a few months ago, I'm really keen to start doing more on Youtube, so if by chance you like what I've done then please let me know! c: Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy the sunshine guys.
