This is the store that I’ve been looking for since I knew what clothes were. Monki is a amazing brand that sells cool clothes at a incredibly cheap prices. What more could you want? It certainly is ‘a sweet popsicle in a world full of porridge’ and it has a pretty sweet sale on at the moment too. Mmm. Here are some of my favourite items;
Happy Shopping! :)

Call It Spring are brand new to the UK and are a label from Aldo. I absolutely love the shoes from the label. The autumn/winter collection has some cool and edgy styles for both men and women. My favourites are the Antall and Lattig styles. That reminds me, I have to get a nice pair of boots for the winter. Maybe somebody could buy me those boots for Christmas! :)
The Antall styles are in a sale at Debenhams from only £30 to £44. What a bargain!

Here is a guide to the best winter coats and jackets. I thought I'd do a post on this because this year I've found it really hard to find a coat that I both love and suits me. I've eventually found a cosy parka but it took a while to find! So here is a round up of the best if you can’t find your new favourite coat;
Also check out Primark’s range of coats. Even though some may think of them as being cheap and nasty, the clothes have improved a lot within the past year. I've seen a load of great Primark coats in magazines. Some even look better than the pricier options available.

Do you think slippers are just for your grannie? Well think again. You certainly won’t be ashamed to step outside in these stylish flats (they’re also known as ‘smoking slippers’).

While we are eagerly awaiting her debut album release, Charli XCX has released a brand new Mixtape to tide us over for a while. Talking about the Mixtape Charli says;
All the songs are about love. Sometimes it's stupid love and sometimes it's heartbreaking love. It's about being confused. In particular, GLOW is a really emotional song for me. I think I had my first proper breakdown when I wrote that song. I cried a lot.
I cried a lot whilst making this mixtape, which is funny because some of the songs seem quite light-hearted and a bit... I dunno... Gangster. To me they're all sad songs in some way though. Some songs were inspired by moments in movies - like DANCE 4 U was inspired by the opening scene of Planet Terror, where Rose McGowan does the pole dance. I think that's a really sad and desperate scene. It makes me cry when I watch it.
I guess that's all just personal shit though. I don't want people to be sad when they listen to SUPER ULTA... I want them to be happy, and I want them to dance. No one dances in this town anymore.
Download and listen to the mixtape below;

It seems like the naturally beautiful Emma Watson has been in our lives forever. We first saw the actress in the extremely successful Harry potter films as a little wavy haired wizard when she was just aged eleven. Since then she has become an inspiration for young women everywhere not just for her style, but for her natural beauty and down to earth attitude.

Said to be one of the most exciting artists to emerge out of the London Underground for years, the soulful singer-songwriter Jessie Ware, has already worked with the finest producers to create her debut album ‘Devotion’. She has also collaborated with a array of artists including masked producer SBTRKT. So far they have made two songs together (‘Nervous’ and ‘Right Thing To Do’), and she has also collaborated with Sampha to make the track ‘Valentine’.

The first single to be released from her third album ‘The Haunted Man’ is a truly beautiful song. It has already gained a good amount of radio play from Radio One since it first aired on Monday after becoming Zane Lowe’s ‘Biggest record in the world right now’. I’m sure her third album will be stunning after listening to ‘Laura’.
Another single from a new album. ‘Teenage Icon’ is the second song to be released from The Vaccines second album ‘Come of Age’, which will not be released until the 3rd of September. You can currently download their last single ‘No Hope’. Also Amazon.com are giving a free download of the live track ‘weirdo’ to celebrate the release of the album. Just click here to download.

After weeks of rain in the UK the sun has decided to shine for once. I finally feel like summer has arrived, and to celebrate I have compiled a list of summery songs that I love, whether old or new. Of course everybody has their slightly cheesy guilty pleasures to get them through the summer, but here are some of my not-so-guilty pleasures. Not all summer songs have to be cringey!

1. Wear Comfortable Clothing. It is so important to feel comfortable at the Airport as you are likely to be waiting around a lot before your flight. Even though you need to feel comfortable though it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your sense of style!- Wear stylish clothes and accessorise with non-metal bracelets or necklaces etc. Also make sure that you wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off as it is likely that they will be scanned separately in security. Flip Flops are a no-go. Think about how many people stand in the security line at the airport. Now, think about swapping germs with all of them...eww! Where shoes you can wear socks with to avoid walking bare-footed on the airport floor and protect your toes from being trampled. And girls, save the 5" heels to wear at your destination; trust me, you don't want to be painfully stumbling around a crowded Airport!
1.River Island blue curve stitch purse £17. Its so great to finally have a quality as well as stylish purse! It's also important to have a decent purse, especially when travelling as you'll need easy access to your bank/credit cards and cash etc so organising crucial items are essential! I love its soft baby blue colour and texture and also goes well with my new bag which I also bought from River Island :D
