Birthday Haul

 Coaster - £1.99 - Sass & Belle
Boyfriend t-shit - £14 - Hollister
3D crochet top - £6 - Topshop
Playsuit - £12.99 - H&M

For my birthday last week, me and Harry went to spend a little bit of my birthday money and I got these few bits. I was trying to keep summer in mind although it was pissing down with rain outside, but I think I succeeded!

• Coaster - Sass & Belle has become one of my favourite shops for cute bits and pieces and I just had to get this coaster as soon as I saw it. 
• Boyfriend t-shirt - I haven't been in Hollister for a very long time, because I grew out of the whole 'logo' phase, but this top caught my eye. For one, it's stripy, and it's also perfect for the Spring/Summer transition as you can dress it up with a leather jacket when it's colder but it's loose and slouchy for when it gets a bit warmer. You wouldn't even think it was from Hollister. 
• Crochet top - I've had my eye on this top for a very long time, but I'd just needed a little bit more money. It's so so pretty and then I found the red one and I couldn't make my mind up but the lemon works so much better with my skin tone. 
• Playsuit - I brought a playsuit in the same style of this last year in a daisy print. It's just a casual playsuit with a criss-cross strapping on the back, it's so comfy and I love the whole monochrome/symmetrical pattern. You could even dress it up with tights and a jacket when it's a bit colder.

Strawberry ice cubes

With over two weeks of beautiful, hot, sunny weather I think we've all established that it's finally summer. It's time to bring the fresh summer fruits and the ice cold drinks out, but after having the idea of killing two birds with one stone, putting them together is 100x better.

I found inspiration of these strawberry ice cubes on Tumblr and whoever came up with this is a genius. They look so cute and make give your water a bit more taste, making the whole water-drinking experience a bit more interesting really.

They're so easy to make too, all you need is:

• An ice cube mould (we've got ours from IKEA and they're made out of silicone so it's easy to pop them out)
• Strawberries
• A chopping board
• A knife
• A jug
• Water

How to make them:

1. Using the knife, cut the strawberries into small chunks on the chopping board and place them into each mould, depending on the size of the mould.
2. Fill the jug with water and carefully fill each mould up. However don't fill it right to the top as the water needs space to expand when it freezes. (You don't have to use a jug, you can just put the mould under the tap, it just makes it a little bit easier)
3. Place the mould into your freezer making sure that you don't spill anything and you have a clear space to put it.
4. Leave in the freezer for 24 hours at the least. 
5. Once they've frozen you can pop them out into you drink and enjoy!

P.s. you don't have to use strawberries, me and Harry also tried it with grapes and I'm sure things like raspberries, blueberries and apples would work just as great too!
