You might be a bit bored of this topic based on my previous post. I don't mind if it's a dress, shorts, patterned, or the good ol full length jeans, I love dungarees in any form. I am now proud to say ( just kidding ( kidding again )) I own two pairs. With a street style 'vibe' to them, I always feel so cutesy wearing them. Cutesy in a 'I want to look like I put no effort into my look, but that look takes a lot of effort' kinda way.

Yay for messy sea water hairrr! Not a very summery outfit today - recently, on every blog I've been looking at, all I see are dungarees. Well. I've joined the dark side. Actually, a few months ago I bought some printed ones from Topshop but we can overlook that. This beautiful, black fitted pair are from h&m, and even though it's summer, and it's 40 degrees in Greece, I've been finding myself reaching for them. They go with everything, and I love the rose gold detailing, I think it's so pretty.

The only thing good about winter this year is that I can wear dungarees more. They'd look beautifuuul under a boyfriend coat with a plain white t-shirt underneath. I can't be the only one who does that; imagining what I'd wear things that I haven't even bought with.

august playlist

Let me just start by saying that July has gone by so so fast, I swear it was my birthday yesterday and christmas was last week. Secondly, I know it's the end of July and not August, but I made a playlist of all my favourite songs throughout July, so I can listen to them in August. And then, if I have any more favourite songs in August, I'll make them all into a September playlist. Ahh clever thinking, right? ( no )

There's a bit of Courtney Barnett in there, Tame Impala, The Black Keys, The Strokes, a bit ( a lot ) of Fleet Fozes, The Kooks, Peace etc. It'll be perfect for you if you like a whole lot of random, mis-matching songs thrown together, but won't be handy for much else.

lush handy gurugu hand cream/minted rose lip balm/extra peach gum/phone/bus pass/oh comely magazine/lipgloss and eyeliner c/o theBalm

...summer edition!! Plus a tangle teazer.. humidity and my thin blonde hair don't mix well. I love reading posts like these for two reasons; 1) I love to see what products people love, and this doubles as an 'essentials' kind of post. 2) I'm just very nosy.

I bought my bag from joy the other day in the sale for £25, which isn't too bad. I think of it as an investment, because it goes with everything and despite how small it looks, there are three pockets which fit quite a lot in.

lip gloss and eyeliner c/o theBalm

Recently theBalm sent me a whopper package full of goodies to review. I will be doing a full review very soon, but I thought I'd quickly mention these two products. The 'pretty smart' lipgloss is a gorgeous gorgeous colour. It's so bright and perfect for summer. Unlike the buxom gloss ( see review here ), it's not sticky at all, and I actually think it tastes a bit like peppermint. Not that that should matter, but it's a good bonus.

The schwing eyeliner: a) funky name, b) your perfect felt tip eyeliner. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know I used to be obsessed with the Soap and Glory Supercat eyeliner - note the use of 'used to'. This is essentially the same, but lasts longer and has a more precise applicator.

lush handy gurugu hand cream

OOOHHH let's just have a moment of silence for this genius invention. My hands always get dry in the summer more than in the winter - don't ask, I have no idea either. But this arrived at the perfect time. It's definitely more of a heavy duty hand cream, very very rich and buttery. It also smells heavenlyyyyy. Not quite sure why it's called 'gurugu', but that's a pretty unforgettable name, and so is the product overall.

oh comely magazine/extra peach gum/minted rose lip balm

I always like to keep something to read with me when the dreaded boredom strikes. Oh Comely is a lifestyle magazine, and I flippin love it. It's a super cute magazine, packed full of interviews and edgy photography. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's not very serious so it makes for a lovely holiday read.

Gum - gotta keep that fresh breath. The lip balm is lovely too, I mainly like it for the packaging but it tastes really good and subtly tints your lips.
