Denim Envy.

My favourite patterned and printed jeans off the high street..

Topshop £40

Candy stripes never fail.. apart from if your arse is as big as mine, in which case avoid them.

Zara £25.99

There's a few variations of these around but I think this is the cheapest unless you opt for the Topshop jeggings version for £22.

Silence + Noise £50

If I'm honest I'd rather buy a cheap white pair of jeans and D.I.Y these than pay £50 but they are nice!

River Island £40

There's a million pairs of floral jeans out there but I favour this bright pair.

River Island £40

This is about as tropical as its going to get this summer by the looks of things.

Anthropologie £148

I know these are more expensive, and there are cheaper versions out there but the cheaper versions look cheap so this would have to be an investment piece.

ASOS £38

I imagine that from far away these might look a bit weird.. like your wearing green hot pants over grey leggings but if they look this good close up.. who cares!!

Denimocracy £90

My Top Pick

Again when you take in to consideration the price, I think I'd rather attempt a D.I.Y version before 'splashing out' on these bad boys.

Dr.Martens.

I'm in the process of trying to decide which doc's to buy so I thought I'd blog it and see if anyone can help me decide!

I had a purple pair with stars on when I was like 17 but was so eager to get them that I bought the wrong size and they were way too big for me. Needless to say they ended up on ebay.

So, this time I'm going to make sure I make the right choice.

I love these ones but I can see there being some soggy sock situations.

These are the pair that triggered my rekindled love of doc's but I've seen quite a few people wearing them now which has put me off a bit.

Not sure if these look a bit too metal head?

I know these are a bit more boring but I quite like them and they look more comfortable because I know doc's take some serious breaking in.

The more I look at these, the more I like them. Plus, I have a new tan leather jacket that i think these would go with better.

HELP!?

Anthropologie.

I've got a bit of a thing for Anthropologie. Some of their stuff is a bit frumpy but they have some amazing prints! Unfortunately I can't afford to actually buy any of it.. but I can pine over it.

My absolute favourite Anthropologie peice..
