CAMP Collection

I recently discovered a new favourite clothing brand that goes by the name 'CAMP Collection'. They are a San Francisco based brand inspired by the nostalgia of summer camp. I love the whole vintage, Seventies look to the products and to the look books on their website. Their clothes just going off looks alone seem so comfy and perfect for lounging around on a hot summers day in (maybe getting carried away a bit, I do live in the North West of England after all). With the hues and colour palette of that of a Wes Anderson film, the photo shoot for their recent collection 'Summer Daze' is a massive hit with me. I'll share with you few of my favourite snaps from the shoot after I've finished rambling about my love for the brand. I wish I could buy every item of clothing, throw my laptop to the side (well, gently place anyway), pull on my Converses and go off on an adventure with map and compass in hand.

Here are a few of my favourite snaps from CAMP Collections 'Summer Daze' look-book photo shoot:

I also made a bit of a mood board (it's no fancy Photoshop one, sorry guys) but, I was feeling inspired and thought I'd put together some images that relate to the brands aesthetics.

I get the summer vibe from these images just as I do with that of CAMP Collections lookbooks and clothes, there's something about those warm, vintage hues that I find so appealing.

So, here are my top picks from CAMP Collections range, believe me I tried to cut it down but, I couldn't!

I'm a massive fan of the slogan t-shirts which look like the staples from the wardrobe of a Seventies skater girl. The roller girl shorts look so comfy, can I please live in them? Oh of course their had to be something striped in my top picks! You could easily pair any of the t-shirts with some flares for the ultimate 70's look, you could do a Katie and tuck the t-shirts into a skirt or go all out CAMP Collection uniform and wear them with the roller girl skirts as seen in the Summer Daze look book.

I felt that inspired by the Summer Daze shoot that I even did a quick illustration of one of the photos.

This looks so much better in real life but, I had to take a photo as my scanner isn't working.

When I have money to save (a girl can dream right) I will save up so I can buy at least one item off their website, maybe one day when I'm no longer a poor student.

July's Wishlist

So here is a selection of items off my July Wishlist

{From left to right} Sleeveless Tennis dress -  £40 @ Urban Outfitters // Tank dress in Floral -£42 @ Urban Outfitters // Sleeveless Tennis dress - £40 @ Urban Outfitters //  Paisley Jacquard Dress with Keyhole Collar - £68 @ Dahlia 

I love the floral tank dress because of the sixties feel it has. Oh and the pink paisley dress is perfection in my eyes. The tennis dresses look nice and lightweight which is needed for this warm weather.

{From left to right} Katherine Jumpsuit - £38 @ Motel // Floral Cut Out Playsuit - £50 @ Topshop //  Molly Jumpsuit - £45 @ Motel (unfortunately sold out)

All of these would look great formal or casual and I love the pattern of the middle jumpsuit. I'm not normally a fan of jumpsuits but, these are lovely.

{From left to right} Hearts & Bows White Galong Crop Top - £15 @ Ark // Hearts & Bows Cream Harden Paisley Burn Out Crop Top - £13 @ Ark // Cotton Circle Crop Shirt - £32 @ Topshop // Cropped Shirt with Collar - £45 @ The White Pepper
I love crochet effect of the left hand top which would go with anything really. A Paisley crop top? YES, what's not to like? I think the two crop shirts are perfect to create a casual formal look on these unusually hot summer days & evenings.

Desperately need to make some money so I can afford anything off this list.

Summer is coming!

Summer is on it's way, with the weather getting to a tad warmer and the sun setting later and later by the day.  So here is a quick outfit that I put together that I think would be great to wear in the summer. I think the outfit would be perfect for festival wear or even a long walk on a sunny day. I love the light denim high waisted shorts from Topshop mainly because they are very 50's/60's esque. I picked the yellow nail polish as the colour is lovely and it compliments the yellow flowers on the top. The flowery top is bright and bold which screams summer! 

What's your summer must have?
