Why can't British summer holidays start when it's actually hot?
They always miss the heat, so we're sweating in school but by the time we get let out... rain & clouds.
Ok, I'm complaining. It wasn't even that cold today. But still, it wasn't hot.

I thought these pictures came out okay when I took them, but my unphotogenicness proved me wrong. Oh Well.

Top; Zara
Cardigan; H&M
Skirt; American Apparel
Belt; Charity Shop
And the same sandals as before.
Isn't this top so pretty? I got it in the Zara sale, it made it through my selection process ( I had a pile of about ten things and I could only afford two ) because I just adore the print! Little bicycles!

I'm off camping for a couple of nights tomorrow, if the regular posting bug still has me next week expect a few more outfits and things. :)

p.s. Hello new followers! I'm trying to have a look at all your blogs, it may take me a little while to get round to it but I will try!

festive summer.

Sorry for the lack of posting! After Latitude I have been spending all my time catching up on blogs - I'm almost done but it has taken hours. Latitude was amazing, the best year yet (my fourth) and so much fun. I had such a good time even when I got separated from my friends (a lot, contact is hard) and was dancing like a maniac by myself. If you were there and saw a girl going crazy by herself at Yeasayer, Florence + the Machine or Vampire Weekend - it was me!! One of the nicest moments was when I couldn't make it to The Horrors because I was so hungry and I went and sat by myself having a pizza and listening to a children's bed time story outside the literary tent. Oh, and the doughnuts. They were good. And the margaritas I had with my mum on Saturday morning! What a buzz!
So next year, you all HAVE to go!

Cardi - H&M,    Skirt - Topshop (SALE £7!!),     Top - Topshop,     Belt - Charity Shop
I wore this today to go for a frappe/smoothie (we swappped a bit) and cake with Alice at the Black Cat Cafe. So yummy.

These are my £6 New Look sandals, looking a bit worse for wear after a few days and nights in feilds (as are my feet) but holding up well!

Oh and that, that is my fancy tripod. Jealous, aintcha!

lots of love and other nice stuff  from lily xxx

heat of the moment

I'm really loving doing regular posts. I think I mentioned all this before, but getting such nice feedback & seeing how many followers I've gained is so rewarding. You are all so sweet, and I do try and comment back as much as I can but it does get confusing.

I spent yesterday with my lovely friend Alice, we went shopping (again) and then ate popcorn and lemon sorbet (yummyyummyyummy) while watching Cracks. It was a really good film, so well done & beautiful styling but... it was disturbing. Definitely not what we were expecting. I won't spoil it for you though, you have to watch it for yourselves.



 
Tee - Topman, Skirt - H&M, Belt - Charity Shop, Sandals - M&S, Bag - Vintage (mummy's)
I had my outfit (an a back-up oufit) planned for yesterday, but in the end it was so hot I just had to throw on a comfy t-shirt instead. In the end I was really happy with it, I had one of the days when you catch a glimpse of your reflection and think "hey, I don't look too awful" which was nice.
I bought this t-shirt in the Topman sale and I loooove it, so perfect and it reminds me of Harry Potter which I like.
I have been desperately wanting some brown sandals recently (this would have looked better with brown sandals, the little shopping demon in my mind tells me), and I found the perfect pair in H&M but they didn't have my size. A five and a seven... but no six? So cruel. 

I probably won't have time for a post until after Latitude (next weekend) but hopefully I will have lots of amazing pictures to share with you!

I love your delicate way.

Hello there sweethearts, I've been putting off posting a bit because I've just been far to lazy to get the old camera out and go pose crazy. But I needed to show you my favourite sales purchase!

AREN'T THEY GORGEOUS!
These babies were costly though, at £25 they can hardly be called a bargain. Even out of a sale that is quite pricey for me and I would never have thought of buying them. Until I needed something to try on a top with... And then I decided I needed them.
I have worn them like 10 times already though, so it was worth it.
Besides, look at the lovely roses! So pretty!
 
shirt - H&M, shorts - Topshop, belt - my daddy's, horsie necklace - gift from Alice (Accessorize)

P.S. Hopefully soon I will feel energised enough to throw on last night's "party" outfit and take some pictures, I wasn't really in a fit state to work a camera when I got home.

 Helloooooo!
I am finally really getting into regular posting, my blog has become a major part of my life now and I just want to make it better and better. Thank you for all your comments, they are so encouraging and lovely!

Dress - H&M (stolen/given to by a friend), Shirt - Topman (stolen from my brother), Shoes - Primark, Socks - made from an old pair of tights, Bow Headband - Accessorize, Bird Necklace - Accessorize, Assorted Rings - Toshop, H&M, Miss Selfridge.
This is what I wore yesterday to go shopping with Alice. I did some quite intense shopping and now have absolutely no money what so ever, but I do have lots of nice clothes and...

I bought a perfume! Incase you can't see in the picture, it's Flora by Gucci. It smells so pretty and I'm so proud of it, it's my first ever real perfume unless you count my Britney one I had in year seven. And yes, it was expensive, but I used my £20 Boots gift card I had saved from my birthday (six months ago) until I could find a perfume I liked. That's how long I've been on the hunt! It lasts so long as well, I put some on yesterday in the shop and I can still smell it. Mmmm.
I'm going to save my new purchases for other outfit pictures, because I will be definitely wearing them soon.

love
from

Cheap Thrills.

Firstly, I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of comments I received on my last post - thank you sooooooo much everyone! You are all so lovely!
And now a little outfit.
I bought this dress on Friday and, to be truthful because I could never lie to you, I only tried it on because of the price (£5, I'm a bargain hunter at heart). But when I put it, I fell in love. It hangs to prettily and is so comfy and I just love the lacey detail. I don't own enough things with pretty details like this and I really should. Thank you, H&M!
I didn't actually wear any shoes because I was inside all day, but I thought I'd pop some on to make it more of an outfit - these are my yummy Portobello brogues.


The next thing is a bit silly. I bought new shoes. Two pairs.


Except they are the same shoes.
 ...
I liked them! The black ones I can wear to school, and they are cheap so I can wear them to places I would be scared to take my good brogues. That's my justification, anyway.

I thought this picture was boring and looked too serious for a picture about new shoes... so I drew a mustache on it.
