Tumblr Shorts

WARNING: PHOTO HEAVY POST
Hola! I've been seriously loving the nice weather we've been having this week! Hopefully the UK will manage to keep this up for more than a few days and we'll get a whole summer like this! Yeah, I'm not holding my breath either, but I'm not giving up hope! Something I always do, and please tell me that some others of you do this too, is get serious envy over the girls in those pictures that I love so much on tumblr, they're tanned, they're skinny, by the looks of things they're having a great time, the sun is shining, they have amazing beachy hair and are ridiculously pretty, and they ALWAYS have the best shorts on! These my friends, are what I call tumblr shorts. I love tumblr shorts, and I have wanted some since I first started reblogging a few years ago. Here are some examples:




So I can't help you with all of the above (possibly the beachy hair though in a coming post) but something I HAVE been doing, is searching for some tumblr shorts. And I actually have some findings that I'm rather pleased with and thought I'd share with you! Because you don't have to spend £50 on a pair of overpriced vintage Levis cut-offs!

topshop moto high waisted 50s denim hotpants £28
 boohoo.com eve heavy distress bleach wash denim hotpants £20
 boohoo.com lowri high rise acid wash turn up shorts £20

 new look aztec pattern bleach shorts £22.99
 boohoo.com lola high rise distress denim hotpants £18
 toshop motoacid wash denim hotpants £30
 boohoo.com lois light distress wash frayed edge hotpant £15
 boohoo.com blair stonewash high waisted ripped denim shorts £18
 boohoo.com lacey crochet studded pocket hotpants £18
forever21 acid wash distress high waisted shorts £18.75

I'm telling you, this seems to be a good year for buying shorts! What do you think? And they're all so reasonable! So my wardrobe is in the middle of a location crisis, as apparently I seem to think I live in Australia with all of these denim cut-offs, I can totally wear them all with tights if the temperature doesn't stay up though, right...? I was thinking of doing a 'how I wear' post with these, so keep an eye out for that. I also want to put it out there that I think boohoo.com have totally knocked the denim cut-offs out of the park, and at pretty great prices! I would say to size up (maybe order your size, the size up, and one up from that, with free postage over £35 usually, and free returns, there's no reason not to!) as I found the sizes to run a little small, I'm usually a 6/25W and had a panic when I couldn't fit any of the 6s over the tops of my legs, but it made me feel a little better that my teeny size 4 skinny ass sister couldn't either haha!! 

There's just about a denim wash in there for everybody, so let me know which are your favourites! Have you found a good pair of tumblr shorts I should know about?

Warehouse Sale

Hello! Before I start, I just want to post a quick disclaimer, last time I went to Warehouse and got some things in the sale (post here) I handed in my CV and actually got a job! I just want to be honest and say that while yes, I DO work for warehouse, I'm only a sales assistant and I am NOT being paid or sponsored to do posts or anything like that (they don't even know I have a blog), these really are just things I see while I'm in work and buy at the end of my shift haha! But I just wanted to be honest about that because, well.. why wouldn't I be?

 big cat print scarf £20 £12
 night sky scarf £20 £12

 pastel marble scarf £22 £15
flower ombre scarf £20 £12



mustard satchel £32 £25

black skinny belt £12 £7, crocodile print skinny belt £12 £7

To be honest Warehouse was never somewhere that I'd usually shop, I think partly because it's a little more expensive in there. But I really love some of the clothes in there at the moment, I'm having to restrain myself because I'm in danger of spending more than I make on the shift! haha!

I've had my eye on that mustard satchel for a while, it's such a lovely colour for autumn! And I love all these scarves!! The big cat one has a pattern on it that's made up of tiger, lion and leopard faces, I thought that was pretty cool! The scarves are all a bit of an odd length though, I tend to like to just drape mine over the back of my neck so it falls down at the front on either side, but these are a little bit long to do that with - they reach my knees for god's sake!! Maybe it's not the scarves, I'm just too short haha! And finally I absolutely love these belts, apart from the fact they've got everyone's favourite rose gold hardwear, the clasp is really unusual, the part with the belt holes is made of metal too, it's difficult to explain but the fastening is a bit different and it's quite interesting I think!

Have you done any good sale shopping recently? What do you think of what I got?
