One things for sure is that New Zealand is an absolutely beautiful place. Despite it being winter everything is still very beautiful despite this cold! A couple of days ago I flew over to Nelson with my Uncle and Auntie and cousins and we're staying in a cute apartment not far from the centre. Nelson is definitely a beautiful place and the surrounding areas are stunning. Here's a few shots from a trip to Tahunanui Beach! As you can see it's an absolutely gorgeous beach and I walked along it just before sunset. I wish it was a little bit more sunny as I can only think how gorgeous it would look in the summer!

This was just an outfit I threw on as we'd been out walking all day and I just wanted to stay comfortable! I can't go anywhere without my riding pants from American Apparel and this jacket from Boohoo I seem to be wearing 24/7! These are just some photos my Auntie snapped of me on the beach and I thought they'd make a good blog post!
If there's any season I really love dressing for it's summer. I think in general everyone is a lot happier when the sun is out! I may not be in England right now but it seems to be glorious sunny weather there! So I've put together this weeks wishlist as my ideal summer wardrobe picks!
I love this striped print playsuit from Topshop. It's under £30 and a perfect summer pick. I think it would look amazing with white sandals! I love an 'ugly' sandal at the moment and these ones from River Island and these ones from Topshop are such gorgeous prints! I think floral tops are perfect for summer and they look amazing with white jeans and sandals! My favourite pick from this week's wishlist is this swimsuit. I think you could easily wear it during the day with white jeans but also look amazing in it on the beach with a tan!
What's on your summer wishlist this summer? Which of these picks would you add to your wishlist?
Okay so I didn't do all this in one day but here's what I've been up to for the past few days in Auckland! It's been really bad weather here and I'm making the most of the little sunshine that Auckland seems to have at the moment. But when it's sunny this city is absolutely beautiful!
Back in England on a daily basis I pretty much live in American Apparel riding pants. They are the comfiest trousers I've ever owned and I've had them a couple of years now and everytime I wash them they feel like brand new! So I just had to bring these with me to New Zealand! This photo was when there was a bit of sunshine and I'm at the top of a hill which has an amazing view of the city from it!
My cousins then showed me Kiwi Yo which is basically a self serve frozen yogurt place! It's so yummy! I had a mixed berry frozen yogurt with oreos, m&ms, sour worms all sorts it was so good! I'd recommend it if any of you guys ever visit Auckland! We then headed to Kelly Tarltons which is the sea life centre they have here and they had PENGUINS! I was so excited it was ridiculous! Okay so who wouldn't be excited if they saw penguins?! They are so cute and I love the colour of them and how they just waddle around looked adorable! I then thought it was a good idea to climb into a sharks mouth (perfect photo opportunity!) We saw loads of gorgeous fish and I just couldn't help but take photos of pretty much everything I saw! I loved seeing a Hermit crab up close as it relates to my surname! I also love the photo of the clown fish I took which I like to call a nemo fish haha!
Have you been to New Zealand? Are you a frozen yogurt fan? What's your fave sea life animal?
It's a bit of a more recent thing but I'm becoming more and more obsessed with New Look. I'm never normally a New Look fan but I have seen so many gorgeous things in their lately! After popping along to the Autumn/Winter Press Day I knew New Look would become a firm favourite for the next season of where to get my latest fashion fix from!
Last time I went to New Look I picked up this gorgeous blue lace cami top which looked absolutely perfect for summer! I found it looks great with high-waisted trousers and jeans so I've paired it with my favourite white jeans from Topshop! One things for sure my obsession with these shoes is quite bad now! They are so comfortable and easy to wear and who doesn't love a bit of white during summertime?!
Another part of New Look which is always great is the Jewellery and Accessories. I think they always create such gorgeous pieces but they're always that teeny bit different in style to what other retailers produce!
What do you think of this outfit? Are you wearing white jeans a lot at the moment?
I shot a few outfit posts before I went away when I had some spare time and this is one of them! I've been obsessed with the gingham print for such a long time! I love how it gives such a good monochrome look to an outfit. Since buying these treggings I've absolutely loved them and they're now only £10 in the Topshop sale! Bargain or what?!
One outfit combination I'm sure you know I love by now is the crop top/treggings combination. I think this is a great look you can easily transform into a daytime/night time look. For day time I'd wear a pair of ankle boots or trainers or depending on the weather some black birkenstocks! I'd wear a leather jacket if it's a little cold! For night time I would wear this outfit exactly like this outfit post with a chunky necklace and a massive clutch bag for some night time glamour!
Today was spent more in the central part of where I'm staying. Me and my Auntie walked down to St Helliers. It's a beach front with lots of cute cafes and small shops. It was quite a nice day so having a walk along the beach was so lovely! We had a 2 mile walk along the beach front which was so nice. It's so nice to be living so close to a beach especially because where I am in England there's no beach nearby! (All you readers by the beach are so lucky!) We even saw lots of vintage cars and I loved how colourful they were!
We then stopped for brunch/lunch at the cutest little cafe called La Vista. It was so nice to sitting inside and seeing the beach! My Auntie had a vegetable dish and I had my favourite Eggs Benedict! Apparently it's a bit of speciality here in New Zealand and so of course being a tourist I had to try it! They do cook it slightly differently and I had mine with bacon and spinach and it was so good!

I threw this outfit on as it's winter here in New Zealand! I wish it was a little more summery but oh well! A striped top/jeans combination can never look bad and it's my 'go to' comfy outfit. I went for a bold red lip today with my outfit to add a little more colour! I'm wearing a scarf as it's super windy bag the beach too.
I'm a little bit behind with my usual blog posting as I'm in New Zealand at the moment! If you missed my first travel post about what I've got up to you can take a look at it here. There's so much I'm loving on the high-street at the moment! From Birkenstocks to printed trousers or a simple bodycon printed dress! When it comes to summer it's all about prints.
I recently came across this bargain of a bikini it's a triangl style bikini for a fraction of the price on Ebay! It's such a bargain! I would buy it in all colours but unfortunately I'm not seeing some hot sunshine this summer so they'd be wasted on me! (boo!) My other favourite in this post is this top! I think it would look amazing with white jeans and black birkenstocks for a perfect summer casual look!
