Hey guys!
So a few weeks ago, we went to London for a shopping spree mainly to pick up a few summer essentials. Firstly, we went to Westfield Stratford, one of our favoured shopping places, only because you can practically find every shop you can imagine! Some our favourite shops include Forever 21, Vero Moda, New Look, Pull and Bear, H & M and Urban Outfitters because you can find all the best trends all at reasonable prices.

Pastel pink dress- Forever 21: £19.75
Denim dress- Forever 21: £19.75 |
So we have a busy summer ahead of us, as we're heading out to a few concerts, festivals and parties as well as a week trip to Norway for a wedding, so we kept our eyes open for some summer must-haves.
A denim dress is a summer essential and we loved this dress from Forever 21, especially with the lace cutout and cinched waist. This will go perfect with a simple statement necklace, the top button done up, a pair of biker boots and your hair up in a top knot.
Another must-have is a pastel dress. When we saw this dress, we fell in love with the colour and we dont really own anything in the same style. Close up, the dress has a crotchet-type effect and fits tightly down to the bust then flows out. The good thing with this dress is you could pair it with a cute pair of pumps for a casual day out or with a leather jacket and pair of heels for night out.

Aztec Shorts- Forever 21: £16.75
Black Military Shorts- Forever 21: £5.99 |
Your summer wardrobe isn't complete without a pair of printed shorts or high-waisted shorts.
Aztec shorts are the next big trend and we loved these shorts with the black/white print and frayed ends. You could keep it simple with a black tank tucked in and statement necklace and we will do other stylings in another blog.
The best thing about Forever 21 is that it constantly has sales and we managed to pick up a pair of cute black military shorts for £5.99 and you could practically style these with anything!

| H & M- £7.99 |
The last shop in Westfield we visited was H&M, in hope to find a pair of new sunglasses but were slightly distracted by this cute Bohemian style tank. We really liked the braided straps and thought it would look good with a bandeau and tied up to the side with a maxi skirt or a pair of white high waisted shorts.
Stay tuned for 'How to Style' for these summer clothes!
After spending half the day at Stratford, we decided to hit up Selfridges on Oxford Street, in the hopes to find a Rebecca Minkoff bag, but turns out there wasn't even a Rebecca Minkoff section! But we weren't going to leave empty handed, so we hit up the make-up section, which is like beauty heaven!

| Tutu- £19.00 |

| 5 Honey- £30.00 |
Bobbi Brown is great for foundation and it's our second time purchasing this product and the service is amazing, so make sure to ask for your suited colour. The lipstick on the left is a pretty colour for summer!

| Rose Surprise- £22.00 |
Another company which is great with lipgloss is Dior. This sheer babypink lipgloss is super glossy and quite pricey but totally worth it, because it has lasted a very long time. If you don't mind pricey products make sure to check the whole range or check out the YSL lipstick range.
We ended our busy, exhausting but totally worthwhile day by grabbing a few cheeky cupcakes from 'buttercup'. Personally, I'm a chocolate lover and went for Chocolate Purist which was so delicious, words cannot describe and my sister picked up a red velvet cupcake. If you ever pass a buttercup shop, we definitely recommend trying their cupcakes!
Sorry for such a long blog and I'll try to keep them short next time. But for the time being, keep smiling and make sure to check back soon!

The day we headed out to the beach was quite chilly so we thought maxi dresses were summery and would keep us warm at the same time. Bright coloured maxi skirts can be worn with practically anything like a simple white tee, detailed crops tops or crotchet tops.
