I love Giraffe by emilyrodgers18 featuring short skirts

I often get compared to a giraffe, surprisingly because I'm 6ft tall, have a patch of giraffe-print like freckles and actually have a soft spot for them. I even got a giraffe pandora charm and a little silver giraffe for my 21st, which I love. So I decided to dedicate a post on all things fashion based on these lovely creatures. You may have spotted that its a popular print this season, mainly in Topshop, and although I've tried on almost everything to do with them, I haven't yet taken the plunge and bought something. But with Indonesia coming up I am definitely contemplating that tank top!

Trip to Trafford Bargains

Today we went to the Trafford centre for the first time since being back at Uni. I didn't go with the intention of buying anything, I purely love the experience, but when in Rome. 

We had a quick blast around the new Forever 21 store, and although unimpressed with the clothes, I found this layered aztec print triangle necklace for just £4.90. 

I love it, a great ensemble to any upcoming outfit. 

I also took advantage of my 20% voucher in River island, courtesy of Company Magazine, when I bought this dark red scarf print Bodycon dress, £20 (£25 originally).

I love it, the print and cut out design makes it really flattering and I love the colours. Can't wait to wear it out! It's going to be a popular item this season. 

Summer Sale Buys

Sale Buys by emilyrodgers18 featuring skinny fit jeans

After working for a while, I've been able to afford a few pieces in the summer sales, maybe with a bit of help from Bank of Mum. Looking at it altogether, this is a pretty random selection of stuff if I must say so myself!

I'm going on holiday in a couple of weeks, and along with hating all my wardrobe at the moment (it happens to all of us every now and again!) this is the main reason behind these purchases. 

Topshop

The playsuit (£18) will be great for the day walking around in 40 degrees. I love the bright colour of the band around the waist.

The lilac jeans are a fun colour, something a bit different, and a bargain at £20. They are meant for the normal sized people, but after turning them up at the end a couple of times, they make a strapping pair of crops.

Miss Selfridge

The body is a nice, light, elastic material which will be perfect for a casual night out put with a pair of denim shorts. (£7)

And finally, the skater scarf print dress, not my first choice, but after trying it on, I was converted. (£29)

Hopefully these buys should get me started and I'm still racking the shelves for more summer sale deals!
