This weekend, I made the hour long trip to my nearest Zara just to purchase these trousers after spying them during a recent trip to Covent Garden. I hadn't been able to buy them there sadly, as I had a train to catch and only noticed them as I was leaving. It was a love-at-first-sight thing (You know how it is). They are so comfortable and fit amazingly well; in my opinion, it was a journey well deserving. Plus, they're my last summer purchase as I'm now saving my money for the trips I'm taking over the next two months.

OUTFIT | #7

I will openly admit that on days when I just can't be bothered, I typically dress pretty terribly. I'm all for tracksuit bottoms, oversized hoodies and slippers. However, with such muggy weather lately - my favoured comfort clothes are unbearable to wear so I've had to find a way to incorporate my laziness into my summer wardrobe.

Today I wore one of the few pairs of shorts I own (something I need to stock up on). I picked up this corduroy American Apparel pair at an outlet store around two summers ago now and they remain the only American Apparel item I own to date. I always find the stores a little overwhelming and end up walking out with nothing; I'm not really much of a hunter when it comes to shopping - I prefer to go in, get what I want and leave.

With a week left of exam leave and three exams still to sit, I'm spending most of my time revising of late so in the spirit of lazy indoor days, I threw on a cropped sweater and was done with it. Sometimes crop tops don't always strike my fancy, but this one not being too shortly cropped and not overly fussy suits me fine.

Sometimes you buy an item of clothing that you just can't stop wearing. This is the case with these trousers I bought from Topshop last week. I find myself wanting to plan endless outfits around them. The other day, I even saw they had them in black too and am entertaining the idea of snapping those up too. Buying the same item in another colour is something I never do!

I've wanted a pair of linen trousers for a while but I wasn't interested in the baggier variety - I'm just not a fan of loose-fitting trousers. These are high-waisted and tapered, which was perfect. It's so satisfying when you finally find that one item you've been searching for for months (/cheesy gushing).

But really, I just love these trousers. 'Nuff said.

OUTFIT | #5

I think it's a pretty well-established British trait to whip out the summer clothes at the first sign of any sunshine. With highs of 20 degrees Celsius predicted today, how could I resist wearing my new Topshop sundress to celebrate the occasion? Who knows how long the weather will stay this nice!

This is the first sundress I've bought this year too. I just love the waist detail on this one, which is better viewed in the second picture. I don't own many sundresses though, so hopefully that will change this summer. I feel much more inclined to wear dresses since my Dress Week project, I've not even reached for my jeans!

OUTFIT | #4

I know, I could have worn cuter shoes but it was icy so forgive a girl.
