Red

                        Dress - MissGuided // Chain - Ebay // Stud Platform Boots - Daisy Street*

Hey Dolls, 

Eeeep I haven't blogged for so long, I've been so busy! I turned 23 this month and ever since then I've been non stop. Need to get my blogging head back on :) 

I recently got this dress from Miss Guided which I have wanted for quite a while as I don't really have anything in this style and I like the 'bardot' style cut at the top. I think the free delivery swayed my decision to finally buy the dress as well 8). When I first got the dress I loved it but I wasn't so keen on the length as for some reason it just didn't look right on me. I tried rolling the dress up to a shorter length which I decided looked much better and made the amendments myself. Despite all this there is a shorter length version of this dress called the 'Rorry' dress but me being lazy and impatient, didn't want to wait for returns/exchange and I could have been possibly out of the time limit to return anyway. I also need to add that the quality of the dress is really impressive. The fabric is quite thick with a good stretch which is what you want in a bodycon dress, I've had some bad ones that are super thin and just pretty rubbish in general but this one gets a massive thumbs up!

I think this is perfect dress for day to night wear as I think it would look lush with biker style or cut out black boots for through the day and then with some heels for night. I teamed mine with the trusty Jeffery Campbell lookalikes from Daisy Street, which have featured on quite a few of my posts now and my chunky gold chain necklace which is always hanging round my neck - it's love!

You can get this dress HERE off Miss Guided for £14.99 and the shorter version that I have amended my length to HERE for £13.99 which in my eyes are both major bargains!


Do you like the 'bardot' style?

Pocahontas

 Top - Get The Label* // Skirt - H&M // Indian Boots - River Island // Bag - Primark


Hey dolls!

Yaaaaaay it's Friday !! Hope you all have fun plans for the weekend, I'm not really doing much except working at Old Trafford on Sunday for the charity game. I hope it stays sunny! I decided to get back to the gym last night and I think I nearly died - definitely over did it :'( all in the name of a Summer bod though!

I recently got sent this gorgeous embellished top from Get The Label which I love. It's an oversized sheer top with a gorgeous gold embellishment pattern on the front. I love white and gold together and I think this is perfect for summer to throw on with a skirt or shorts. It's really lightweight and even comes with a cami that you can put underneath. You can get this HERE for just £12.99!! It RRP's at £26.99 so you are definitely getting a bargain. 

I teamed it with my brown H&M skirt which was something silly like £3. I have these in a few colours as I think they are so handy to have and are really comfortable to wear for both day to night wear. My Primark tassel bag was obviously a bargain too but I got this a few years ago. They have loads of tassel things in at the moment though so there is probably something similar knocking about if your a tassel lover like me! I also have been a bit naughty recently and bought myself these beautiful 'Pocha' tassel ankle boots that I have fallen in love with. I popped in River Island to see the new Rihanna collection (which is gorgeous) and then spotted these on offer from £45 to £25. I couldn't really resist, even though I am on a shopping ban and need to save my money....I just can't help myself. I don't really feel too bad though to be honest as they are super comfy, I will get loads of wear out of them and I got them nearly half price - can't complain! 


I hope you all have a fab weekend :)

Summer Lovin'

                           Bodysuit - Glamorous* // Levis' - Vintage // Chain - Ebay // Watch-
                      Michael Kors // Snapback - South Beach* // Headphones - BassBuds* // Ipod Nano - Apple // Nike Airforce1 -Footlocker

Hey dolls, 

It's Wednesday! Yay, I love a four day week! It will be Friday before we know it :D I am being really naughty tonight and having a little mid week night out tonight, as I haven't been out for AGES and I feel like a complete bore of late! It's also my birthday soon which is very exciting, although I am not excited about being 23 - UGH. 

Anyway, I received this gorgeoussss neon pink and yellow bodysuit from Glamorous (thanks to the beauts Leonie!) as I had spotted this at the Glamorous event and fell in love! I couldn't think of anything more perfect for a sunny holiday! I mentioned it in my Glamorous event post how this is perfect for Ibiza or any other type of partying holiday! If this pattern/colour isn't you're cup of tea either, there are a few other colour options and shapes to choose from! You can get this HERE for £15.00! Plus if you're a student you can get 20% off and if not I also have a code at the side of my page for 10% off if you use 'BLOGGLAM' - see no excuses ;). 

I teamed this with my faithful Levis shorts and some all white Airforce1 hi-tops and gold chain for an urban summery look! I am also wearing my 'Alexis' South Beach Snapback which you can find HERE for just £12 ! I love a girlie snapback, so I was very happy to receive this in my South Beach goodie bag when I attended the event recently! Another holiday essential! 

Last but not least my brand new sparkly headphones! I received these in the Glamorous event party bag and I LOVE them! They are a metallic pink with Swarovski crystals in the headphones - what is not to love?! They are very good quality as well. I listen to my ipod every day without fail and I cannot think of anything worse than poor quality headphones where the volume is on full and I am still struggling to hear a thing. These also match my pink ipod nano so this was a bonus - all pink errythiiiing! They came in a very well packed gift box that included all the extras such as; a soft storage and travel bag (perfect for when I am just constantly throwing anything and everything in my bag), 6 extra pairs of silicone tips and 3 pairs of memory foam tips. I love products that give you all the back bits and bobs as I am always losing/breaking things and it's nice to know you have back up and don't have to fork out for more! You can find these pretty headphones at BassBuds.co.uk at a reduced price of £34.95 down from £49.95! If pink isn't your colour either, they have a range of colours and some mixed colours that are also pretty cool. 

Hope everyone's having a good week! 
Have you bought from any of these brands?

City Life

  
 Necklace - Henryka* // Top - Vera Moda (Get The Label)* // Shorts - River Island // Shoes - Zara


Hey dolls,

Hope everyone had an amazing bank holiday weekend! I had a pretty boring one to be honest, although I did enjoy the sun and even had a cheeky little sunbathe in the hammock on my balcony. I rarely get to use it in these climates, so it was nice to finally put it to proper use! I also went to the drive in cinema in Manchester to see The Hangover 3 for the first time which was very cool (I felt like I was in Grease!). I recommend it to anyone who lives nearby as its such a cool thing to do AND you can order Dominoes to your car AS WELL. Obviously I was sold! It's the only one in Europe too! I had heard mixed reviews about the 3rd Hangover, a bit of love and hate going on, but I laughed my head off all the way through and even though I agree it's not as good as the other two, it's still worth a watch. 

So back to the outfit, I was very kindly sent a beautiful cute little charm necklace from Henryka - a silver and amber jewellery retailer. I chose a super cute seal pendant, which is a silver seal with a cognac amber ball on top of its nose. I literally love it! You can find it HERE and at £23, I think that's really reasonable for a silver pendant. There are a few other cute ones I like as well, such as the swallow pendant and all the star sign pendants! Might I add all these are now just down to £7.20 which is an absolute bargain!
There are lots of gorgeous, cute little pieces of jewellery on their website where you can find the perfect gifts and delicate pieces that I think are perfect for birthday presents. I'd love to receive a silver pendant for my necklace as a gift! The chains are also gorgeous if you are after something plain, or something to put your own personal charms on. You can find them HERE. I've worn mine with a simple outfit as I think this shows off the charm best. 

I also have on my Vero Moda black knitted top, which I chose at the amazing Get The Label event! I love this top as it's something that I am going to get a lot of wear out of. Simple and comfy, yet teamed with some shorts and heels it looks great for a sunny day shopping with the girls or going for mid day cocktails ;). You can find this top HERE and it is now just £7.99 from £17.99!! Bargain or what! Its pretty good quality as well, so definitely worth a buy! I hadn't heard of Get The Label until I attended their event a few weeks ago, and there are so many bargains on the website! Lots of branded clothing and shoes with massive price cuts! Check it out :)

I then teamed both of these with my ever faithful River Island city shorts and my BELOVED Zara beauties that I have wanted FOREVER. I recently found them on Ebay in my size and literally cried with joy. I snapped them up immediately as I had literally struck gold -very happy Ashleigh. I think they are perfect for Summer and they aren't too high so I can wear them in the day too. They sort of remind me of Kim Kardashian which is probably half the reason I love them so much! 


Have you shopped at Henryka or Get The Label before?

Phresh off the Runway


My Outfit // Top - Primark // Chain - Ebay // Pants - Glamorous* // Shoes - Primark // Shades - Primark

Hey Dolls, 

Hope everyone is having a good week! Mine has been pretty busy, but I sort of like it when I have loads to do! Yesterday my wardrobe pole snapped in half due to the vast amount of clothes I have hanging off it 8), oops. So naturally my room is an absolute tip full of clothes everywhere - brilliant. Fortunately this week I was sent a very beautifully wrapped package from Glamorous that made it all seem better, ha! 

Glamorous very kindly sent me these super lush grey marl jogging pants that I have been eyeing up for a while. If you saw my post from the Glamorous event, you may have noticed me post the Rihanna picture above on that post as well. I literally fell in love with the outfit when I saw it posted on Glamorous' Facebook. I love Rihanna's style and I think she always looks gorgeous in whatever she wears <3 I already had the other parts of this outfit so I was super excited when these arrived, meaning I could re-create the look myself! Yay. You can get the grey marl jogging pants HERE for £24 AND they have 20% off this bank holiday weekend so go and make the most of it! You can also get the rest of the outfit on their website as pictured above :)

Glamorous have LOADS of gorgeous pieces at the moment and it makes me want to go on holiday so bad! The neon leotards that are new in simply scream 'IBIZA!!' to me, so if you are heading there this Summer, you should definitely have a look! I can't wait to wear mine and I'm not even going Ibiza! 

I threw on my gold chain as well, as I can't get enough of it at the moment for some reason! I also found these sunnies in Primark last night when I went in for a hair brush and did the standard primark trick - go in for one thing, come out with ten. Deary me. I have been loving the round style that seems to be bang on trend recently, but I've always been a bit dubious about it all thinking I am going to look like a bad replica of John Lennon. However, I was very much enjoying this black pair, and at a £1 it's not the end of the world if I never wear them again. Oh, the joys of Primark prices.

Do you shop at Glamorous? Do you love Rihanna's look?

South Beach Swimwear Party



Hey dolls,

On Wednesday night I was lucky enough to be invited to the South Beach Swimwear event! I was really excited to attend this one as I am a sucker for a pretty bikini and I had seen quite a few on their website that I have been keeping a watchful eye over ;). The event was in Manchester at 'Frurt' in Spinningfields - an amazing frozen yogurt bar. Erm hello, bikini's and frozen yogurt's = I'm in heaven!

I'd had a pretty stressful day so I was really looking forward to heading to 'Frurt' to cheer up with a dose of fro yo and swimwear. I arrived just as it had all began and was greeted by the lovely Katie and a glass of some sort of strawberry alcoholic fancy beverage (I can't remember what they are called!) which might I add was delicious! I delved straight into the rails to see all the new pretty swimwear! It was all decorated really nice with even a palm tree and deck chair setting to give the place a holiday feel. I must say the bikini's are gorgeous, my favourites had to be the white crochet, the brightly coloured stripey/patterned ones and not to mention the lush khaki tassel set. This would look beaut with one of their gorgeous crochet tops over, very boho! They even had a range of onesie/lounge wear pieces that were super cute - I love the tiger print ones, perfect for lounging around in!

After I had had a look around and placed my blogger tag on my fave piece (these all went into a raffle to win your favourite one!) I was straight over to the Frurt yogurt bar to get me some yummy fro yo! I've been here before as its right by my gym (after gym snacks - oops) and I literally love it. I also caught up with my lovely Manchester blogger friends which is always one of the best parts of attending blog events :)

On leaving I was handed an amazing goody bag filled with lots of treats and a snapback from the South Beach Swimwear range - I LOVE IT! Plus I even got a 40% discount voucher to spend online! amazing :) I also have a code for you lovely lot if you fancy a cheeky holiday purchase! If you enter TOPBLOG15 you can get yourself some discount with that. You can find the fab website HERE. Make sure you check it out!

Do you love bikini shopping?
