dotcomgiftshop haul

Hellooo, sorry I haven't posted in so long! But don't you worry,  I have plenty of ideas for autumn winter make up looks and outfits which I will write about! Anyway, today I was excited to receive the things I have ordered from 'dotcomgiftshop'. It's a really reasonable, UK based, online company that sell really sweet and retro products. I really love the woodland range for kids that features cute little deer, rabbits and plants. I simply could not resist the foil lined lunchbox. It's really lightweight, a great size to fit in your bag and is totally adorable! And it was only £4.95 which I think is a fab price.

I have been really wanting a plastic  Starbucks Frappuccino cup for so long but they don't seem to be for sale anywhere near me, but I saw this cup for only £2.95 and totally fell in love with it. Although it is a lot smaller than the Starbucks cup and a straw isn't provided, it's the perfect size for on-the-go an you can pick up disposable straws really cheaply. I got a pack of about 200 in the 99p shop-guess how much they were?

Finally, I ordered this little box to use when I don't use the bag. I love the vintage look to the lid and the box feels sturdy. Like the lunch bag, the box was only £4.95. There are also small 'snack pots' available with an array of different themes and designs. 
I would really recommend checking out their website, the bag and box I bought are available in a range of different styles and there is another cup, which features a vintage space design. I will definitely be ordering from dotcomgiftshop again!

Oriental print dress

I have an extensive collection of skirts and dresses, but I own about four pairs of trousers! One of my all-time favourites is this blue/mint green dress from Primark.
(I cut my head out of the picture for artistic reasons..only joking, I had a bit of an embarrassed expression going on haha!)
 I love the on-trend pastel shades and the lightweight silky material; I also really like the oriental cherry blossom print. I paired the dress with my JuJu Jellies to give the look a pop of neon, making it perfect for summer. You can wear these sandals without socks, but I think they look cute with frilly ones in pastel shades. I coordinated mine with the colour of my dress, but I would also wear cream socks for a more neutral look. You can get a pair for around £3 in Topshop or a pack of several pairs for £2.50 in Primark, the choice is yours...

JuJu Jellies

 After what seemed like forever (well, four days) my JuJu Jellies shoes arrived. I adored my pink jelly shoes 'back in the day' so I love these beauties as they are retro with a modern twist (the 6cm block heel). I picked the fuchsia pair as it will go well with all my pink clothes and will add a pop of colour to dungarees, jeans and shorts.





To my dismay, where the material is slippy, my toes kept sliding to the end of the sandal causing slight discomfort. However, I popped on a pair of white socks with pink polka dots and they created more friction whilst looking really cute at the same time! You can get your hands on a pair by searching 'JuJu babe' onto amazon for the pair I have. They come in a range of colours including mint green, blue and yellow as well as a paler shade of pink. JuJu Jellies also make flat sandals and different types of jelly shoe so it's worth having a look at their site! You can get black versions of the shoes I have at River Island too!
