The Summer I Turned Pretty - Jenny Han 

Everything that happened this past summer, and every summer before it, has all led up to this. To now.
Every year Isabel spends a perfect summer at her family friends' house. There's the swimming pool at night, the private stretch of sandy beach . . . and the two boys. Unavailable, aloof Conrad - who she's been in love with forever - and friendly, relaxed Jeremiah, the only one who's ever really paid her any attention.
But this year something is different. They seem to have noticed her for the first time. It's going to be an amazing summer - and one she'll never forget...

I first read about this book in Sugar magazine and thought it sounded like a really cute read for Summer. I was about 20 at the time and read it on all of the sunny days. It was a nice story with likeable characters. I read the next two in the trilogy and really liked the way the storyline developed throughout.
I love the cover of the book. Daisies are my favourite flower and blue is my favourite colour. If I hadn't read about it beforehand I would still have picked up the book.
Each of the 3 books has a page at the beginning with an inspirational message from Jenny Han. The one from the second book I actually took out of the book and it's stuck on my bedroom wall.

Nail Varnish Review - Roll In The Grass - Rimmel London 60 Seconds Super Shine By Rita Ora

I love bright coloured and glittery nail varnish, I have a few reds, pinks, and purples that I wore during Winter but nothing brigher. So I really wanted to update my collection with a new Spring colour.

I've bought a few Rimmel London nail varnishes and really love the quality, they dry really fast and only chip slightly after a few days; so their new Rita Ora range is perfect for me.

The labels on the bottles have flowers which match the colours of the varnish, and the names of the colours are really Summery and fun.

I've only started wearing nail varnish over the past few months so some of the colours are definitely out of my usual comfort zone but still subtle enough for me to try out. I'm hoping to get Tangerine Tent, the bright orange colour, which is something I would never normally go for.

For my first brighter colour, I chose a spring green because I've never had green before - it's called Roll in the grass which I love. I put it on a few days ago and it's lasted really well. It makes me feel really happy and confident.

 

I will be getting a few more colours soon to wear throughout Spring and Summer.

I definitely recommend buying these for Spring or upcoming Festivals, the colours are perfect and the quality is amazing for the price.

They're £2.99 for 8ml bottle. 

3 for 2 if you get them from Boots. Perfect excuse to try the colour you wouldn't normally go for!
