Summer Fashion Wishlist

Hello, hello! I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. Today I wanted to post a little Summer Fashion Wishlist. I have done one before for Autumn/Winter, as well as Spring, so I thought it was only right to now put one together for Summer...


I am off on holiday to Portugal in a couple of weeks, so I have been doing a lot of browsing online recently to find some summer holiday clothes, my saved items on ASOS have seriously accumulated - whoops. There are a bit of a theme with my picks, I am clearly drawn to floaty dresses/ tops and also trying to find some bits to inject more colour into my summer wardrobe.

I am lusting over all of the above, but unfortunately my bank balance will not stretch and let me have it all, so I need to pick a few bits on payday next week to order - help me decide?! What are your favourite items?? I would love to know!

Until Next Time, LRB x

NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Creams

If you didn't already know, NYX Cosmetics recently launched in the UK, which has got a lot of girls including myself very excited about. They are only stocked in boots at the moment and I have been hunting and hunting ever since I heard they had launched for a stand, I spent weeks looking in every boots I have seen and finally praise the lord I found them in the boots next to Liverpool Street Station in London.

I decided to pick up three different shades of the 'Soft Matte Lip Creams', 'Sydney', 'London' and 'Cairo' to try before venturing into other products from the brand.

I am more of a nude and pinky lips kinda gal so naturally these were the kind of shades I picked up. Sydney is a baby pink colour, kind of similar to 'Snob' from Mac, London is a dark nude and Cairo is a pale nude colour.

They go on super creamy and set matte. I don't find that they dry out my lips at all, but I would say you do need to keep topping up the product throughout the day. There not quite as long lasting as a lipstick, but I find that they are so much easier to apply and I love how soft the application brush is.

So what's the price? £5.50 each. Unreal. They are just so darn cheap. With £5 a lip product you cannot go wrong.

I have also included some photo's of the products swatched on my hand below to show the colour and consistancy a bit better.

I absolutely love these products and I will definitely be popping back to Boots to pick up some other bits from NYX Cosmetics sometime soon!

Have you tried anything from NYX before? What would you recommend?

The Jungle In The Sky

 A couple of weekend's ago, my family came to London to visit and on the Sunday we got up bright and early and went off to visit the jungle in the sky, otherwise known as the Sky Garden. I have been twice before now, but the beauty and experience never grows old. It is one of my favourite places in the whole of London. My Dad and brother had never been before so it was lovely to take them for the first time to see it for themselves. My brother took lots of pretty photo's whilst we were there with his fancy camera, so I thought I would use some to put together a casual little outfit post.

I just love the whole atmosphere of the place, it so relaxed and chilled and you have spectacular views of the whole of the city. We had some smoothies and coffee's at the bar before going out to the balcony for some obligatory selfie's with the view, then continued to take a slow wander around the whole place. It is pretty big and just so so beautiful to explore.

Trench - Stradivarius
Blouse - River Island
Jeans - River Island
Boots - ASOS
Bag - Topshop

I wore quite a simplistic outfit, teaming a white blouse with some high waisted black jeans, some snazzy boots and my trench coat from Stradivarius, which I am in love with. It is a really thin, lightweight material making it the perfect summer coat, as well as being so quick and easy to throw on to smarten up an outfit.

Bank Holiday Strolls // The Statement Silk Bomber Jacket

Bank Holiday Monday called for a little day out in West London, lunching with my friends and having some relaxed strolls around the gorgeous streets in Kensington. We went to a lovely restaurant called WildWood on Gloucester Road before getting lost amongst all the amazing white houses. I literally fell in love with them all. Naturally I took advantage of my surroundings and got my camera out to take a few outfit snaps, as I wanted to share a new addition to my wardrobe, the most beautiful silk bomber jacket I ever did see...

Bomber Jacket - TK Maxx
Top - New Look
Jeans - Levi's
Boots - Asos
Bag - Topshop

I picked up this number from TK Maxx a couple of weekend's ago and I am in love with it, it was such a good find. Thank you to my friend Hannah for convincing me to buy it, even although it meant I went further into my overdraft. That is a good friend right there - haha. Buuuut it was still a bargain at just £20 - I was laaauuughing! Who knew TK Maxx was so good? I always forget to go there, but I got a couple of other lovely bits for my upcoming holiday, so was overall V impressed. It is definitely worth going in for a wander to see what gems you can find.

I have linked a few similar silk bombers below, the one New Look have in at the moment is extremely similar but without the pink sleeves. Zara also have a gorgeous one in right now, but I see so many girls wearing it. I swear more than 3 girls at work have it too. So I am kind of glad I found a different one, at a fraction of the price!

I kept the rest of my outfit really casual and simple with some Levi Jeans (if you don't own a pair, you need to - life changing) and a white crochet top. I then wore my staple black saddle bag from Topshop and my snakeskin boots from Asos, which have been on my blog numerous times now. I honestly never take them off, they surprisingly just go with everything. I think that because the jacket is such a statement piece, simplicity is key with the rest of your outfit.
