Daisy Dukes, Bikini's on top: Shorts Haul!

Now I've booked my summer holiday & festivals I've started shopping and discovered a new obsession - I love shorts! I posted a while ago about my amazing aztec print shorts and now I've brought some more!

First I snapped up these mint green & white striped shorts from New Look. They're a bit shorter than I'd normally wear but I'm hoping by the time I'm on holiday/at a festival I won't care! These were £20.

 As soon as I saw these on MissGuided.co.uk I HAD to have them. The Topshop version were out of my price range but these were really affordable. I'm fully in love with them. These are the Coralyn shorts and you can shop them here and here.

I had no intention of buying any more shorts but when MissGuided ran a Twitter competition to win these Merill shorts I entered on my lunch break and thought nothing more of it. You had to tweet you fave colour out of the three and where you'd wear them. I got home from work to a tweet saying I'd won! 

These are high waisted and super flattering, the length is perfect for my chunky legs too! Can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can dig my shorts out! You can get these shorts here.

What do you think of these shorts? What have you been buying recently?

Shopping Haul: Peacocks & New Look

I got paid on Friday so have already spent a few £££'s! I'm going to Reading festival in the summer (so excited!!!) and needed some shorts. First I order these ah-may-zing aztec print shorts from New Look:

These were £19.99 and are gorgeous. I'm obsessed with aztec patterns so these are my summer (and festival - yay!!) esential. They're not as thick as denim shorts so will be a nice alternative when the sun eventually rears its head!

I also brought some high waisted shorts from Peacocks for about £10. These will go with everything and will also be joining me at Reading Fest! The shorts look like denim but they're not as thick which is hopefully good because my old pair from Topshop lost their shape reall quickly.

Finally I brought this cable knit cardigan from Peacocks for about £20. I live in chunky knits - my boyfriend brought me a stunning poncho/cardi from Republic for Christmas and I live in it! The detail and colour of the wool won me over and I expect I'll wear this all through the winter and spring!
