Bubble Tea

For the past couple of days iv started to notice that it's beginning to stay lighter for longer and this clearly means we are approaching (slowly but surely) summer! Saying this, my weekly visits to a bubbleology whenever possible are beginning to become much more regular due to this. 

Bubble Tea originated from Taiwan and can also be know as pearl milk tea or boba milk tea. The drink is a base mix of fruit or milk flavoured teas which is typically served with tapioca, which is a chewy marble sized ball. It can also be served along with popping boba or fruit jellies. The magic of bubble tea is because it is tea, it can be served hot or cold, so you can choose your preference. 

After many trips to my local bubbleology I have encountered many different flavoured teas, all of which I have enjoyed. However, after trying all these flavours; honeydew (which is a type of melon) is definitely my favourite. It is both sweet and refreshing and is the first bubble tea I ever tried, making it a personal memoir! 

The milk teas I have tried include:

Taro 

Coconut 

Honeydew 


Vanilla 


And rose milk



The fruit teas I have tried include: 

Raspberry 



White peach 


Lychee 


And finally; Apple

Off The Shoulder Style Inspiration

So it appears, off the shoulder trends are back better than ever in 2016 and high street stores and online boutiques are out to prove it. 

As the SS16 collections come into play we are beginning to see these stylish (and perfectly suited to summer) garments rise and burst into our local clothes stores in all colours, shapes and sizes. 

If you are looking for a more casual off the shoulder look, Boohoo.com was very helpful in my search for 1. A casual Bardot which is a bit more 'dressy casual' and 2. Another which is a bit more toned down. The White top consists of a frilly top, perfect for a festive occasion or casual party. However the black shoulderless top is toned down and plain, perfect for a stylish casual look. 
Boohoo.com: Libby Off The Shoulder Frill Crop Top - £10

Boohoo.com: Jess Woven Off The Shoulder Top - £12

Boohoo.com: Ella Tonal Boarder Off The Shoulder - £10 (was £12)

Boohoo.com: Tanya Off The Shoulder Ruffle Bodysuit - £14

However off the shoulder fashions have progressed this season, going from casual high street fashions to stunning bridal wear and evening gowns. 

This stunning bridal gown is not only elegant but it's beautiful lace pattern and part mesh on her back and arms shout out beautiful.

Of all the off the shoulder outfits I encountered, this was one of my favourites. This mermaid ruffled ruby red dress sparkles and compliments its wearers figure, making it a must wear to any formal occasion and an outfit that will make you the envy of everyone else in the room!
