My Top High Street Sunglasses (Summer 2015)

Hey guys, today I picked out my favourite sunglasses on the high street and decided to share them with you in this post. So here are my top picks:

1. Petrie Portugal Sunglasses-Topshop €26 (£18)
I love over-sized sunglasses. These ones remind me of the type of ones that Victoria Beckham wears a lot. Very glamorous and very sheek. The perfect accessory for the beach.

2. White Rubber Chunky Frame Sunglasses-River Island €13 (£10)
The sunglasses are quite cool and lot more affordable than the last ones because they are from River Island instead of Topshop. I love the white and the gold together. They are just so pretty, and are probably my favourite pair from this bunch.

3. Isabell Sunglasses-Topshop €43 (£30)
The next pair of sunglasses are really cool and remind me a bit of something from the 60's. The striped monochrome design would go with almost any bikini or swimsuit and I really love their cat-eyed shape.

4. Light Pink Flower Frame Round Sunglasses-River Island €20 (£15)
I thought these sunglasses were very different from anything I have seen anybody wearing before. I really like the idea of adding flowers to the top of the glasses but I'm not sure if they are really me. They are a bit too girly for my usual taste.

5. Light Blue Ombre Round Sunglasses-River Island €17 (£13)
These sunglasses are ideal for me. It's as if I said could we make the light pink flowery pair a bit more me and these are what I got. As you probably already know, because I've talked about it a couple of times on my YouTube channel and used it for most of my blog design, I really love the colour blue. I also really like the sort of John Lennonesque feel to them that you don't get as much when they are pink and have flowers attached.

6. Sophie Cateye Sunglasses-Topshop €23 (£16)
These pair of sunglasses are quite similar to the white and gold pair except the have a plastic temple instead of a metal one. The pastel pink and blue together are really cute and I could see myself wearing these to beach or pool, or casually driving around on a sunny day.

So those are my top high street sunglasses for summer 2015. I recently bought two pairs of sunglasses from Penneys that I left off this list which will be featured in a Penneys Haul video that will be up on my channel in the next day or two. Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to see that video and also make sure to leave a comment down below telling which of these pairs of sunglasses are you favourite.

Life's A Beach | Styled Beachwear Look

Hey guys, today I decided to put together a beach look because I know a lot of ye are going on holidays soon and might like some inspiration. The look I created is a monochrome one that I think is pretty glamorous for the beach so you look amazing on your holiday. So here are the items in the look:

1. Black Printed Embellished Kimono - River Island (€55)
I decided to pick a kimono because they are quite light and easy to throw on over a bikini or swimsuit. This one has cool detailing around the neck that extends down to the hip area. I like that this is fairly simple in that it is black and white but also that it isn't just a plan kimono because it has a cool flowery pattern. It's pretty expensive but you could always buy a cheaper alternative in Primark if you are on a budget.

2. Belted Plunge Swimsuit- ASOS (€41.09)
I love this swimsuit. It is so cool! It takes the idea of a simple black swimsuit and makes it ten times better. This is probably my favourite piece of this look. It's pretty expensive for a swimsuit but I just really like it. If you wanted to recreate this look on a budget, you could always buy a standard black swimsuit but I think it would be better to buy cheaper alternatives of the accessories so you could splurge on this swimsuit.

3. Black Drawstring Beach Bag- River Island (€55)
This bag is perfect for the beach. It's a great size to fit your towels, sunglasses, sun cream, magazines and whatever else you need. I love the pattern of this bag but I think a beach bag is something you don't need to spend a lot on. Although I would probably try find a cheaper one to bring to the beach, this one could be doubled up as a overnight bag as well as a beach bag to get more value for you money.

4. Glossy Flay Sandals - ZARA (€25.95) 
There is not much to say about these sandals. They are simple, chic and would go with almost anything you want on your holidays. They could be put with this look, but they could also be worn with a maxi dress, playsuit or shorts and top combo. They would also be great because, for something that could be worn with so many looks, it wouldn't take up much room in your suitcase.

5. Black Glamorous Cat Eye Sunglasses- River Island (€17)
I love big over-sized cat eye sunglasses so I thought that these would be great to add to the look. They sort of take the look to the next level making it more glamorous (Victoria Beckham wouldn't get a look in :P )

I hope you enjoyed this post and it gave you some beachwear inspiration whether money is no object or if you are on a budget. Are you going on a holiday soon? Where are you going? Let me know in the comments below and i'll talk to you soon.

Disneyland Paris Trip!

Hey Guys! As ye know I recently took a trip to Disneyland Paris. My Nana took me and my little sister there for two days. We stayed in one of the Disneyland Hotels called Cheyenne. It was set in a cowboy village and everything was cowboy themed. We had a great time over the two days and here are some pictures of our trip:  

Me, messing around in the airport, waiting for our flight.

This was the lamp in our hotel room haha.

We went for Disneyland Paris' twentieth anniversary! 

It wasn't the weather we were expecting for Paris at the end of May :P
It lashed later that day for around three hours and we got soaked!
I had another picture where I got the sword out of the stone but i accidentally deleted it :P
