Summer Lovin' - July Wishlist

July Wishlist by casey-byrne featuring Topshop

AH it's been a rough few weeks. I've been suffering with headaches for over 8weeks and they prevent me from doing, well pretty much everything, particularly exercise as they're triggered by movement. Imagine a mild migraine around 10 times a day, bleurgh. So I'm wallowing a fair bit and seriously feeling the effects of not being able to go out for a run or get stuck into my Charlotte G-Shore workout DVD, yeah that's right, I bought it!

I'm on some medication for the headaches which have turned me into a bit of a zombie and, as with most medication, I can't drink on them so I've become a bit of a recluse. Oh, and my hair is falling out as a lovely little side effect.

So all in all it's not shaping up to be the greatest start to summer my end so far. Hopefully this gorgeous weather lasts for a bit longer so I can get out in it and make up for lost time once I'm sorted.
But what better way to brighten all that rubbish than with a bit of online summer clothes shopping!

I've booked a couple of trips away for the end of the summer in the hope that'll I'll be fixed and need to get some summery clothes to take away with me - I can't tell you where I'm going because they're both surprise trips and I wouldn't want to ruin it.

I've been in need of black sandals for such a long time and this New Look pair are exactly what I'm after. The button down denim skirt is a summer must have this year and the white midi skirt is something I have actually just purchased while doing this wish list for my two upcoming trips - fingers crossed it fits!

I hope you've all been enjoying the sun and have lots of exciting things to do over the summer!

#ootd poppy season

I really do love living in the countryside when it gets to this time of year.

Lash Out

Every now and then I indulge in getting semi-permanent lashes. My friend is a beautician and she does beauty treatments at home at a much cheaper rate than salons so I get cluster lashes done when I go away for a weekend or if I've got a lot of early starts coming up so that I don't have to take make-up in hand luggage or get up extra early to put make-up on. No mascara, no fiddling around with strip lashes, they're a dream.

Hey, is this thing on?

After finishing a few weeks ago and finding that I now have lots of time on my hands that I don't know what to do with (despite my constant moaning while I was studying that I had no free time!) I decided to jiggle my blog around a bit. Change the layout a bit here, mess around with the fonts a bit there, you know how it gets when you've had the same template for a while and want a refresh. Like a kind of spring clean for your corner of the internet.

Whilst playing around, I decided to go all out and change the name and address of the page too.
I've had this blog for ages and have kept the same name mostly out of sentimentality - because the friend who chose the blog title unfortunately died in a car accident a few months after I started the blog - and I couldn't really bring myself to change the name, soppy huh!
But, it's been two years now, and it really just needed a refresh so I changed it all and off I went thinking I'd got it all sorted. Turns out it wasn't sorted at all so it couldn't go live when I planned it to, oopsie!

But I got there in the end and here we are. New blog name, new fonts and a new start for my tired little blog. I'd love your feedback on it all so let me know what you think in the comments. I hope you all enjoy :)
