Olympics...

So on Thursday I was incredibly lucky to go to watch the Olympic Tennis at Wimbledon. We had tickets for court 1 where Andy Murray played the Mens Quarter Finals, Serena Williams played in the Womes Quarters, Del Potro in a second quarter final and finally a Murray Robson mixed doubles match. The whole day was incredible and left me feeling extremely patriotic.

Here are a few Instagrams from my day.

And here is what I wore. My new UO top had its debut. I wore it with some Cheap Monday grey jeans and black boots just because I wanted a comfortable outfit because I was going to be sat down all day.

Not the most flattering image but you get an idea of what the back looks like.

Go Team GB!!

shopping...

This week I had a bit of a spend up at the shops. I have been so good for ages but this week have seen so much stuff I like I couldn't resist a few bits! They are just simple pieces but I may DIY them a bit to vamp them up.

Topshop - £6

Love those earrings, they are just the right size and sit nicely in my hair. I know that sounds silly but I like to wear earrings almost peeking out of my hair.

Camden Market - £3

This gorgeous bracelet was only £3 on a stall in Camden Market. Im going to add it to my 'never take off' bracelets.

Topshop - £8

I have been wanting a crop top in black for so long. Topshop had loads of crop tops but not in black which was strange. So as soon as I saw this, I grabbed it.

Urban Outfitters - £22

Urban Outfitters is my achilles heel of shops. I try to avoid it because i know i will always see something I like and so my purse always suffers. I popped in to return some shoes and saw a girl walking past holding this top. So I thought there would be no harm in trying it on. It looked amazing on and I love the see-through back. Its a nice slouchy, yet still quite dressy top.

These last items are just some basic tops from Primark. Both cost £4. The blue one I bought because it has a really nice shape and I like the pocket detail.

I will be cutting this up, maybe adding some tassels and wearing it as a beach cover up. I like the fact that it is slightly transparent so my bikini will show slightly beneath.

The newest addition....

I have a really bad love for bags... and shoes... and clothes, fashion in general really. My latest addition to the family is this gorgeous tassel trimmed bag from Urban Outfitters. I got it in the sale after waiting for months for it, reduced from nearly £50 to £25. Its absolutely perfect.

It has a lovely soft leather exterior and suede tassels. A brilliant zip pouch on the back and the interior is split into several compartments, one zipped, one pouch and a larger space all sealed with a larger outer zip. The Bag seals with a magnetic clasp to the exterior making it a really safe bag to carry around, especially as it is large enough to fit all your essentials.

Although everyone loves a designer bag, I personally think the quality of this UO satchel is amazing, especially for the price. There are many designer bags which have the same native american feel to them. Here are a few that I really like at the moment. However, the aspect I prefer on my own bag, is the plait detail down the front.

Miu Miu - Fringe Hobo

It is this Miu Miu bag which is my favourite, I think this is due to the subtle fringing. Its classy and subtle.

Jimmy Choo - Diane

Summer Trousers...

Urban Outfitters have started their summer sale. After a little browse online I decided not to risk buying trousers from the internet incase they didn't fit and then losing out on them. So I popped into town to have a little mooch around. Again this is another bad move because as soon as I see something reduced I think i need to have it whether I will wear it or not, whether it fits or not and sometimes even whether I really like it or not. The latter does not happen very often and usually it is over something that costs a pound.

However on this trip I fell in love with these BDG Pigment Dye Ankle Cigarette Jeans in what they class as red. My camera makes them look very orange but I would describe them as salmon pink. Reduced from £45 to £22 a really good buy. They have a nice amount of stretch to the material so you can sit down comfortably and at ankle length, they are very versatile. You can roll them up, tuck them into boots or wear them as they are with heels or flats. Unlike some other jeans on the high street they are made from a strong denim so there no chance of the belt loop holes coming loose or holes from general wear. Overall I am really happy with them and would buy them at full retail price.

I wore this outfit for a meal out

I teamed my new jeans with a brown leather belt from ASOS, I can't remember how much I bought it for and my slouchy see-through shirt from River Island which I previously blogged about.

Moccasin Flats - Urban Outfitters - Can't remember price

I wore flat shoes for my meal out as I preferred the slightly more casual look. These moccasin flats from UO are my absolute favourite shoes. They are comfortable and go with everything so to me they are priceless.

Jeans - Urban Outfitters - £22

Bangles - various

Hair

I wore my hair in a really high up do. The bun is huge which I love. To achieve this I used a ballerina donut which i placed around a pony tail and then tucked the hair underneath all the way around. My hair tends to be quite shiny and sloppy which isn't good for putting my hair up so I have to set it with lots of hair spray, I then loosed it off a little so it doesn't look perfect.
