Summer wish list...

Jumper- H&M
Skirt- Miss Selfridge

2014 is in full swing; the assignments for my second semester demanding my attention and today is the last day in January! Where have the days gone?

I don't mean to wish the year away but I can't help but to think about planning my summer holidays and purchasing a new summer wardrobe. I already have a small wish list growing larger by the day, but my must-have purchases include:

Printed peg trousers- I've been meaning to purchase some statement print trousers for a while and so i'm thinking a floral pattern will be perfect for the summer months, I have my eye on these from ASOS.

Culottes- Again, the ones I have my eyes on are from ASOS and there super cheap. Light weight and comfortable, a nice alternative to the usual denim short.

Shift dress- My final must-have is a shift dress. This one from Miss Guided is the closet one i've found to one I like.

In the meantime, whilst I continue to save, i'm still wrapping up warm and dreaming of a sunnier place.

Is it summer yet? I feel like the cold winter days should be over and t-shirts should be replacing scarves and winter coats, but we aren't even through the worst of the winter yet. So we have to keep our heads up through the worst month of the year where the lack of money, motivation and vitamin D is starting to take its toll. 

I'm not one for New years resolutions, but I have said to myself to set goals from time to time to stop me from hibernating under my duvet until the summer season. 

These include, visiting a new bar or cafe around Southampton, at least once a week; I've lived here for nearly a year and a half and barely adventured further than the high street and my university building. 

Also cooking new foods; trying simple, healthy, cheap recipes that are a change from the usual diet of pasta and chips!

Whilst I try my best to be more adventurous, me and a friend are also sticking it at the gym and dreaming of that summer body already! In the meantime I'll continue to wrap up warm and dream of a sunnier place.
