Miscellaneous Monthly Must-haves | July

I've chosen a handful of things that have been my go-to for this month whether it's a bag, a dress or a lipstick. This month has been one of the hottest months us Brits have experienced and to say the least I am very much ready for Winter. I think most of us have spent our summer eating pizza, doing crazy overtime & binge-watching new shows with 5+ seasons along with watching the World Cup every so often.

+ Checkerboard Vans

I have wanted these for the longest time but could never justify spending £50 on a pair of slip-ons but an impromptu search at 11pm on Amazon proved otherwise. I know what you're probably thinking 'are they legit?' Amazon sells a ton of branded or designer fashion sold from brands themselves so 'yes' it's the real deal for a fraction of the price, also shoutout to their prime delivery. I know everyone's really digging the 'old skool' Vans but these are nicer because not everyone and their mom has these! They are probably the comfiest pair of shoes I own and can be worn with practically anything & everything.

+ Black fur slides - Urban Outfitters

Fur slides, you either love them or hate them I mean I still have mixed feelings on these but I love the black and the tan sole. They are incredibly comfy and look great paired with black. Originally I ordered the cream pair but after being sent the wrong ones I came across more colours, oh and they also have pink. I'd just style them with a pair of black skinny jeans and a cute blouse.

+ Coach Swagger shoulder bag 20

This is my pride & joy, I absolutely love it to pieces. It can be worn with everything because it's black and the shoulder strap can be adjusted too. It instantly dresses up a casual outfit with the gold hardware. It's super hard-wearing and has a lot of space inside despite its small exterior, it has a number of compartments too making it a whole lot easier to organise your belongings. I would urge you to go buy yourself something from Coach it sure is worth every penny.

+ Zara mustard crepe dress

This dress has quickly become my go-to for this hot weather, this dress, a pair of leggings & slides. The fabric is super lightweight and comfortable and has ruched sleeves. I adore the colour of this dress and I cannot wait to add more bright pieces to my summer wardrobe.

+ Seventeen Matte lipstick - Roses are Red

This is a perfect bright red lip, if you're after glowy skin with minimal makeup but with a bold lip then this is the shade for you. It's super lightweight and comfortable to wear but like always with matte lips make sure your lips are moisturised and exfoliated for the best application. I love having bronzy skin, lashes and then a red lip it's just so summery.

PULL & BEAR SEASONAL PICKS

I was recently browsing the Pull & Bear website and found a handful of things I pleasantly liked so I thought I'd share my seasonal picks from their recent collection.

Now I've been obsessed with the 'Oversized Coat' trend and I plan on buying a similar coat to the style shown above they just add that extra touch and texture to complete your outfit!

Another obsession is white shirts personally I don't think you can own 'too many' white shirts. I love this classic take on with the black pipelined checked grid pattern, its SO modern chic.

My next few picks are accessory based consisting of shoes, bags and jewellery and the odd pair of sunglasses!

Flats have had a HUGE hit this past spring, summer and this fall! The pointed shoe has had its moment but now it's time to bring out the loafers. I love this nude pair with the cute little tassels and the tan sole.

Gold jewellery now I've already talked about how much I love gold jewellery in my last months miscellaneous monthly must haves and the ton one gold jewellery I received on my birthday the truth is I just can't get enough. Fortunately to make myself feel a little better Pull & Bear actually have a 20% sale on their jewellery items making me feel a little less guilty.

Now my bag collection consists of 99% black bags and the odd few tan and burgundy bags but nevertheless do I still root for the classic black clutch. I love the different textures and the gold hardware it really adds that sophistication that every girl needs right . . .?

The last item is this pair of white sunglasses who says summers over? Well it pretty much is since it's been raining the last few weeks but oh well that's not going to stop me from drooling over this pair! These sunglasses are so different from your conventional black pair. It has gold hardware and is a cat eye style suiting pretty much every face type.
