fonts, every little helps

In my opinion the font that you use with images makes a big difference. I've curently become obsessed with using fonts over images; whether I'm labelling swatches, or just adding a few words or a title over a photo. I am obsessed. 

So i thought i would share with you some fonts i have been liking and where you can get them

1) Anome Ibul (here)  2) Antrokas (here)  3)Brain flower (here)  4)Signerica Thin (here)

My go-to site for free fonts with thousands to choose from is dafont.com. It's a great website with hundreds of new fonts each day and has resulted in me having thousands of fonts in my font book on my mac!

I think I'm going to put together a font folder that i can flip through when I'm looking for a certain type of font. 

The perfect rainy day project!

Summer Clothes Haul

Hey guys, it's been a while since a clothes haul, but I hope you all enjoy this one :) I've been shopping in the summer sales and have been picking up a few things from Urban Outfitters, New Look, Topshop, H&M and Joules. 

Ivory Crochet Top from Urban Outfitters sale - £15
This is quite possibly my favourite top at the moment!

Denim Light Wash Studded Shorts from New Look - £22.99
These weren't in the sale but I had a £25 gift voucher for New Look and when I saw these I was like OMG I have to get them!! They are definitely a tight fit, so not for those who seek comfort clothing :P

Grey Top from Urban Outfitters Sale - £14
This was actually a buy one get one free offer in their summer sale deal, so I got another top for free, but I let my sister choose a top for herself - she picked out a white top with a black and white watercolour skull design on the front.

Black & White Stripey Vest from H&M - £2
This is my bargain buy! 

Union Jack Scarf from Joules - £19.95
A very patriotic buy ;) it has a vintage look to it and I loved it the moment I saw it.

Coral Tropical-Print Bikini from Topshop- A birthday present
This was a birthday present from my family, so I don't know how much it was, but I don't think it was in the sale, so it was probably £20+

And that is my little summer clothing haul - I've also been buying a lot of Jewellery recently, so that'll come in a separate blog post within the next couple of days :)

Barcelona Weekend Away :)

So at the beginning of May I went for a little weekend away to Barcelona just to have a little break from work and escape the terrible english weather :P I had such a nice time! I took waaay too many photos! Especially of Parc Guell, which is one of my favourite places in the world! I could sit there all day just soaking up the sun and chilling out. I also visited La Sagrada Familia, La Ramblas, La Boqueria, Port Olympic, the Gothic Quarter, Arc de Triumf, Plaza Catalunya and Plaza Espanya. I hope you like my photographs and that they inspire you all to go visit etc.
