So last month I did this to try and inject a bit more of me in my blog and I am going to keep it up! These are my 3 favourite things right now, enjoy!

1) Prayer In C

Oh My God this song! I fell in love with the backing to it first and then her voice, just BEAUTIFUL! Such a chilled song and it's my new 'Summertime Sadness'

2) PINK - Victoria's Secret

One of the many things I love about trips to Florida is being able to have a super spree in PINK. If you don't already know of it, you need to! It's their fun, dressed down college student range but it covers trackies, sports bras, cute girly bits, yoga pants etc etc etc and they're all amazeballs. I will be posting my haul of goodies at some point soon but until then, browse the awesomeness of their website :)

3) Guardians of the Galaxy

Unless you have been on another planet this summer, there is no way that you can't have heard about GOTG. It's summers biggest blockbuster (c/o Marvel) and although it looks and sounds just a little strange, it's actually brilliant!

I'm a massive Marvel fan but I had no idea about GOTG characters or plot and went into it all a bit blind, which worked just great :) There's something for EVERYONE to enjoy so even if comic movies aren't really your thing, give it a try! (There's a giant walking talking tree and a talking raccoon, what's not to like.)

So there we are, my top 3 things right now! What are yours???

bikini checkthemout clothes fashion fblogger honest jewellery promo purchases review summer treasurechestaccessories truereview

Apologies in advance that this has taken so long! After coming back from holiday I've been busy with work and been trying to get back into a sleep cycle which is harder than it sounds.

Whilst on holiday it was the PERFECT time to review my recent purchases from:

http://thetreasurechestaccessories.bigcartel.com/

P.S: There are NO pictures of me in the bikinis as, well, I just don't want to subject anybody to the horror of my body lol.

•  The neon tropical print bikini: 

    I was dubious at first about wearing this as it ties up everywhere! It has a halter tie, a tie (with thicker material) at the back of the top and looped ties on the sides of the bottoms. Having to tie it all myself as well was a worry haha. However, after securing the halter tie how I wanted it, it made the tie at the back much easier. And the bikini bottoms were actually super easy and stayed secure.  
    The bottoms are low rise and the bottom is cut a little higher than i'm used to but even so I felt completely comfortable and they didn't ride up a whole lot which was great! They weren't see-through in any way either. The top was maybe a little small for my bazoomas as it would decide at random points to give me under-boob, but it was only obvious to me as I could feel it. It was well moulded though and never once moved up too far when swimming etc. 
    I wore this a few times whilst on hols and it always dried quickly and retained shape. Very happy :)

• The pearl bikini:

    I absoloutely LOVE this bikini! (Well, the top much more so than the bottoms!) It's so pretty and unique. I did worry that this wouldn't cover my chest area as on the site it does warn you to order a size up as they can be tight. Luckily though it fit perfectly! I wouldnt have worn the top without the halter strap though as they needed extra support. The tie at the back was a thick tie which was great and easy to do and the halter strap was adjustable.
   The bottoms I have to say I wasn't the biggest fan of. Like the neon bikini they are low cut and higher rise at the back than i'm used to (I like EVERYTHING covered lol) and I just didn't feel hugely comfortable in them. It's easy enough with the top to mix and match though which is exactly what I did!
   Again, like the neon bikini, I wore the top fairly often and it dried quickly and retained shape really well (no pearls have come off either). The top stayed up in water and I even braved it in the water parks!!!

•  The tassel kimono:

   I'm not going to lie, I didn't get a chance to wear this yet! Not going on a 'beach' holiday (I went to Florida...) There weren't many places to wear this and the hotel had a strict policy when it came to walking back in from the pool. I have tried it on and it's really versatile so if I have any further holidays that involve a beachier atmosphere, it's coming with!

•  The stone choker necklace:

    I love this! I had so many compliments on this it was crazy. It's such an easy simple piece to wear but it really jazzes up a basic outift. It's also quite 90's ish which I love too :) I am terrible with jewellery and will often react and be left with a green mark, but I didn't get that either! Very happy :)

•  The sunglasses:

     I brought these along as my back-up sunnies and it's a good thing I did as my other pair broke! While I'm used to HUGE sunglasses (as I have a bump on my nose that means smaller ones don't sit right) these were actually great! They didn't aggravate my bump (whoo!) and they gave good protection from the sun :) What more could you want?! 
P.S. I take sunnies off in pics so apologies for no sunnies photos.

Overall I am super duper happy with all of my Treasure Chest Accessories pieces and will definitely be holiding on to them and wearing them as much as possible! They are on IG and the link to the website is at the top of this post.

In an attempt to get a bit of me across in my blog, I'm going to do a favourite things of the moment post every once in a while :) We'll see how it goes!

1) Shopcade.com

 I only discovered this recently but oh dear Lord I am in love with this website! It has all the brands and products in one place and you can create your own lists and wants of items as well as  adding your own looks. Check it out, you won't regret it! (Find me on there too: http://www.shopcade.com/jessdriscoll)

 2) Meghan Trainor - All about that bass.

This is  my JAM at the moment, it's such a good song! A lot of people are saying that she's being against skinnier girls with this song, but I don't see it that way, she's just trying to encourage positive body image. 

Fave lines: 

'I see the magazines working that Photoshop, we know that shit ain't real, come on and make it stop.'

'I'm bringing booty back'

'Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top'

3) Flower crowns.

It's summer, i'm not at work, flowers crowns are going to be worn! I have an obsession with flower crowns, I think they're BEAUTIFUL and add instant glamour to summer outfits. I've got a little collection going on but my favourite ones that I have are from http://www.summercrown.bigcartel.com/   they're foam so stay up and look perfect :) I'm also lusting for a http://crownandglory.bigcartel.com/  one too but need to budget!

So that's my round up of my top 3 favourite things at the moment! Feel free to comment with your own or share the love for these :)

Phew! I've finally been able to relax this weekend :)

I've had a rather hectic weekend; after work on Friday I had an hour to be ready to get up to Brighton for a night out...Panic stations! (It was a nightmare, especially as my face just did not want to stop sweating.) This is what I ended up looking like, which tbh i'm quite proud of:

Tried to go for a dark red lip and live outside the box a little! (Barry M)

Also my flower crown is from http://instagram.com/summer_crown

After trawling the shops during the week I managed to find this little beauty to wear from New Look;

I absoloutely loveee it! It's super bright and summery whilst not being too short or see through :)

 Really enjoyed my night out in Brighton and did a hell of a lot of dancing which equalled very sweaty hair! However it came in useful the next day when I went out to Crayford dogs as I just sprayed and scrunched!

My gorgeous top was from http://www.spoiledbrat.co.uk in the sale :)

Overall I had a super fun Friday and Saturday and today my bf managed to find this gem in a charity shop...

 Perfect!

 

 

fashionblogger fblogger floral maxidress ootd pink pretty selectfashion style summer

A little while ago I wandered into Select after work, mainly because I had ages to wait for the bus; but also because I always think it looks nice in there. Anyway, I saw tonneeeees of bits in there that i LOVED unfortunately I only had limited funds so had to be choosy.

I ended up buying a maxi dress. Now, I don't reallllly do maxi dresses as i'm a shortie but this one fell at just the right point. Also, I don't really do pink even though it's one of my favourite colours! So this was a big deal.

After a few outings and compliments I've decided I really like this dress. I know my arms look huuuuge and it would look miles better without the tummy but I'm working on that!

 Dress - £16 - http://www.selectfashion.co.uk/clothing/s039-0403-28_coral.html

The sun is shining, the temperatures are soaring and it's the perfect time of year to crown yourself with flowers!

I absoloutely ADORE flower crowns, I have done for a longgg time now and they just make me feel like Ms Del Rey which is never a bad thing (because let's be honest, it's all i've got).

Usually I buy my summer hoard of flower power from Primark and New Look but thanks to IG I found some BEAUTIFUL crowns fromhttp://www.summercrown.bigcartel.com/ IG: http://instagram.com/summer_crown

They are really amazing and really rather cheap! They're foam as well so they actually stay up rather than looking like they've wilted in the sun...

I bought myself a red one (favourite colour...) and a pink and white flower slide, also because of an offer they had at the time I got a blue crown for free!!!

Would definitely recommend these, go flower crazy, it's summer!
