Autumn Wardrobe Wants: Topshop Meets Cara

So, if you live in the UK you will be well aware that summer is well and truly over, as I'm pretty sure the rain has not stopped for a continuous 48 hours. While stuck inside and the rain having no intention of stopping i turned my attention to the world of online shopping, more specifically the Cara Delevingne line for Topshop. I thought I would share some bits that caught my eye that I thought would be nice additions to my already bulging wardrobe, I cant help myself.  

Cara Delevingne for Topshop

This new line I am in love with. Although some items are very pricey, like the sequined dress that I fell in love with, (It is around £250, you can get your hands on it here and it comes in sizes 4-16). They have some great party dresses, like I said there is the super expensive one, but it is stunning, but there is also a classic LBD with a twist, which is only £45 and comes in sizes 4-16, it is not available yet but you can be first to find out when it is in here.  The items I am placing an order for are, the two in the picture below. The Pussydoll Bow Blouse and is £45 and comes in sizes 6-16. The bottoms are also on my list; they are the Moto Low Rise Zip Biker Jeans, and they are priced at £40.
You can find the Blouse here and the Jeans here.

I look forward to see what else Topshop do with Cara and vice versa. As well as getting my hands on some of the stuff from the collection.

Return From The Sun

My Summer Reads

I recently had my fair share of summer holidays and time in the sun, and so i return with some post holiday posts in the coming weeks. I thought i would begin with my summer reads from my family holiday in Portugal.

Before I begin on what i read out there i have to do a selfless shout out to my Daddy who recently had his third book published which i read also on another holiday, within two days. I could not put the darn'd thing down (You may be thinking, hmm daughter of author, biased?! But no!) 
It is called 'MICHA SEVEN FIVE' and is a crime drama. I enjoyed it a lot, and keep nagging him to put the cliff hanging end to a sequel and remove me from my book misery. I would highly recommend it as a read, go and grab it here.

The Book Thief - Markus Zusak

This was a reccomendation from my Mummy. The first chapter had me quite lost and confused and i did have to ask what was going on. However, get past that first chapter, which is not hard to do, and it is a beautiful story about friendship and seeing beyond what people tell you what is right an wrong. I could read this one hundred times over and be just as spellbound by it. It is narrated by death and concept that is a little tricky to get your head around at times but it gives the story a different edge. 10/10 and i have tried to force this into any willing hands to read.


You're The One That I Want - Giovanna Fletcher

If you saw my holiday book posts from last year you will know that I read and really enjoyed Giovanna's first book (Billy and Me). This is one of those girl falls in love with boy, with a twist kind of books. Easy to read and enjoyable, another one I read in a day. It is a sweet story not only about relationships, friendships and love but about growing up.

The Shock of The Fall - Nathan Filer

This was one that was actually stolen off of me before i had a chance to read by my brother, so i am in the middle of it so i thought i would still include it as it was read, and then semi-read by two holiday go-ers.
Noah's review: The book is really interesting and is a lot about mental health. For someone who does not do a lot of reading, I must of enjoyed it as I only took me two days to get through it. 


#GIRLBOSS - Sophie Amoruso

If you are a girl, like myself, who wants to earn her own money, be strong and independent and a career girl. Then this is the book you need to read. Sophie built her company Nasty Gal within seven years to a multi-million dollar company without one bit of debt. This girl has the knowledge of how to become what you want to be. This was a originally a recommendation from Vivianna of VDM, and now i, girls of the world am recommending it to you!
