Lets face it, the British summer is definitely not one to be getting a steady tan off. No matter how much I love thinking about long lazy days a the beach, barbecues in the back garden and spending warm summer evening sipping on a raspberry mojito (or five), the sad reality tends to be the odd cloudy-but-humid day and working full time to recover the remnants of my student loan. I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite bits to inject a bit of summertime happiness at the mo' and at least make you look like you're having the summer of a lifetime. At least the cocktail part is still true...

Ice cream? For breakfast? Yup, you heard it right! This is a completely dairy-free, fruit-based breakfast which tastes exactly the same as your normal ice cream but with none of the guilt and all of the sweetness.

This month's playlist is a bit less chilled than the last. Watching some of my favourite people like Tame Impala at Glasto (through the TV, obvs) has made me really excited for Leeds fest in August and made me re-visit some of the tunes I used to love.

Enjoy!

As festival season is slowly but surely creeping up on us, I thought I'd share with you some of my style favourites at to mo and some pieces I hope to be buying as soon as that next payday rolls around!

Halter bikini top - Motel Rocks

Choker - Regal Rose

Cap - Urban Outfitters

Crochet top - Misguided

White crochet top - ASOS

Aztec playsuit - ASOS

Denim playsuit - Monki

Embroidered jeans - Glamorous

Stripe trousers - Topshop

I'm going to Leeds fest this year (eeeep!) as well as planning many more summer adventures and since dropping a dress size earlier in the year I feel like I need to seriously update my summer wardrobe and treat myself a little! Simple playsuits like these from ASOS and Monki are going to come in super handy to just chuck on paired with trusty Doc Martens and some face glitter and be out the tent in no time, while the clashing prints from Motel Rocks and Topshop give off that more carefree festival vibe that I'm going for this summer. I'm also loving the cut of those Topshop trousers - there's something about that awkward length that makes them so versatile! I've also been after a couple of caps for summer that I suit but won't be too bothered about losing mid-moshpit, so these ones from Urban Outfitters are perfect and I'm really digging the nude coloured one too. I can't wait to get some more bold and fun pieces to inject a bit of life back into my rather sorry-looking wardrobe!
