Spotlight on: Matalan

Matalan is somewhere I always neglect when searching for additions to my wardrobe, yet it's also the name I'm constantly dropped when I admire someone else's fashion choices. In a bid to shop there more, or at least remember to check out their latest offerings, here's my current picks: an ode to Matalan if you will...

Prices: Sandals £16.00, Dress £16.00, Brown Sunglasses £8.00, Monochrome Sunglasses £5.00, Playsuit £8.00, Boots £22.00, Bikini top £8.00, Bikini bottoms £6.00
