Monochrome Summer Style

 

 

My style is majorly black, white and grey and I find that these colours are quite hard to wear in summer so here is my take on a monochrome summer outfit.

 

Top- h&m

Shorts- New Look (they were trousers but I DIY-ed them into shorts)

Sunglasses- New Look

Socks- Topshop

Shoes- Converse

This outfit is practical for a casual summer's day, it is super comfy and light.

Do you think you can pull off monochrome in the summer or are you a brights kind of person?

School's OUT

I was having a good old think about what way I want to spend my summer and of course I thought of sun and sand etc but I live in Belfast and warm weather is highly unlikely. I've decided that I really want to focus on blogging this summer. I really enjoyed blogging for the few months I did it but the past few months have been CRAZY busy that I brushed it aside.

I have a few posts lined up in my head actually so follow me on bloglovin' and keep an eye out for upcoming beauty and lifestyle posts.

What are your plans for summer 2014?

Take a break

 (You can see how small it is in this picture- the whole town of Ballycastle is situated on that hill)

Sometimes when you find that life is rushing by and you're doing things 110 mph and forge how to relax a little break away is in order-and for me this break came in the form of a remote town BallyCastle. I used to visit all the time when I was a child but after the summer of 2006 we just stopped. I've always wanted to go back but my family were never keen until my sister asked last week did I want to go for a drive somewhere and of course my first suggestion was BallyCastle. As I expected she took a little persuasion but we got there in the end. I endured a 90 minute drive through the little country roads but when I caught the first glimpse of the sea from the car I couldn't stop a little squeal escaping and turns out my 25 year old sister was just as excited as I was. BallyCastle is so small and quaint that it only takes around 40 minutes to get from one side of the town to the other. It was nice to be a child again for just one day and play in the old park I used to play in when I was little and chill on the beach and dig in the sand and just relax.

Do you have one place that you go to escape when life gets too much?
