A new Bag!

I don't know about you, but I HATE carrying bags sometimes. Like literally hate it, my shoulder starts to ache and I can never find a bag that just sits nicely on my shoulder. Even my trusty over the shoulder bag has annoyed me in the summer heat.
What I need from a bag in the summer is something big enough to carry all my summer essentials (water, suncream, sunglasses) and comfy enough to have with me all day. So I have taken to the high street to find a cool backpack, I know a backpack isn't everyone's idea of cool but I think it's the perfect bag to take on a day out. Whether it's at the park or the beach! Here are my best finds!

null (Multi Col) Aztec Patterned Back Pack | 245425199 | New Look
New Look - £19.99
I love this Aztec print bag, it's perfect for brightening up your outfit!
Washed Leather Look Rucksack In Tan
Matalan - £12
Bargain price and just as pretty!
Accessorize - £35
I love the pink spots on this one, and the little pockets at the front are great extra compartments!

  
River Island - £30
So this one looks a little bit like a Gillet, but I like it anyway!!!! The colours will carry you through to Autumn too!

 Acid Wash Backpack With Trim

Topshop - £34
I love this denim bag!!! My use of exclamation marks proves it!


All the bags shown can be found on line at the shops I have mentioned.
The best bit about the backpack is they are useful whatever the weather!!!

Whatever the weather....

So, that's it! I have finally come to terms with the fact that this summer is going to be a washout of weird weather. Rain, then sun, then rain, then sun..... (you all get the idea.) I've taken to carrying round an item for all seasons, flip flops, cardigan, brolly (my bag is seriously heavy).

I thought I'd post a few of my best finds here to share with all you lovely Ladies.


Hunter British Flag Design - Dark Navy
We still have Jubilee fever so these Hunters are our favourite! Teamed with a nice dress and cardigan (The Welly Shop have done just that - check their website) these are perfect for walking the water drenched streets.  
These wonderful wellies are £114.99 from www.thewellyshop.com

£17.50 White, hot pink, purple and yellow heart shaped umbrellas
£17.50 for these wonderful Brollies. What better way to keep dry than with a love heart brolly!
There are so many wonderful designs to choose from at www.loveumbrellas.co.uk
The rain need never be glum again!

Candy Girl Flex

These Little Beauties are called Candy Girl Flex and cost £45. These are perfect if you want to keep your feet dry but still wear a little heel!! You can team these with just about anything! I love the bright pink colour too!!


Get the "Baywatch" look from Truffle Shuffle for £24.99.
What better way to pretend that the sun is going to stay, this Baywatch t-shirt is an amazing retro piece.

Dark Green (Green) Dark Green and Tan Backpack | 251691538 | New Look
£19.99 - New Look.
This backpack is perfect for storing your rain coat and flip flops for emergencies!

Tan gladiator sandals
Gladiator Sandal -£30 (avaliable in tan and black)
"Sandals in the rain?" I hear you shout.... well these amazing Gladiator Sandals are perfect for keeping in your bag, to change into so your feet stay dry and look glam. There is nothing worse than sitting in soggy ballet pumps so an emergency pair of sandals are my top tip!

Hope you like all my picks!
Lots of Love J xx
