Summer Sun Outfit Post

So last weekend I popped down to West End (Oxford Street) for a spot of shopping since the crowd were less thanks to the Olympics. Was soo happy for the sun but oh my goodness the heat was a killer!! I was literally ducking into shops just to cool down (thank God for air con).



 
Top: Cream t-shirt from Uniqlo
Skirt: Yellow pleated skirt from Oasis
Footwear: Pastel coloured flatforms from New Look
 

I'm was so happy I got to wear my pastel coloured flatforms for the first time yay..
 
On my shopping trail I stopped by Primark to see what goodies they had on offer. Lo and behold I spotted the other 2 colours for the Zara inspired sandals. I already got the nude & red pair and at £12 a pop I thought I'd get the other 2 as well.
 


I'm so glad I got them because Maegan (Love Maegan) posted a Brian Atwood Flower Sandal DIY on her blog which I totally love! The fact that I can add different attachments to the sandals and change them into something completely different makes these sandals great value for money :-)

Glad I shopped last weekend because its been raining this weekend and I hate shopping in the rain..

With Love, Maya x
