Bodysuit - Boohoo//Skirt & Shoes- Missguided

As you can already guess, I'm pretty besotted with a nude palette and one of my favourite combos is a white and nude outfit. I got this bodysuit from Boohoo a while back for my work Christmas party but as it's quite revealing, I had to do a quick last minute resort to a trusty LBD. I love this bodysuit but felt it definitely came under the NSFW category. Knowing my luck I would have had a Janet Jackson moment and then had to face everyone on Monday...not the one! It's definitely one for a girls night or date night with the boy. It comes in a few colours if white isn't for you but I thought this shade would go best with my beloved nude skirt from Missguided. This skirt is one of my most worn wardrobe items as its a great basic piece that works well dressed up or down. I have this in quite a few colours as its so affordable and a great staple piece to mix and match with. 
In terms of shoes, I haven't had these beauts off my feet since I got them. I love them that much my boyfriend even got me a second pair for when I probably ruin my original ones on a drunk night out. I've linked all items below too, if you want to have a look 

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and new year - I was super busy hence not much blogging got done but spending time with my family and friends took over and as I don't get to see them an awful lot I just enjoyed it all! I definitely over indulged though so its healthy eating from now to get the summer bod ready (help). Who's with me?

cute AF


T-Shirt - Boohoo // Jeans - H&M // Shoes - Public Desire

How cute is this T-shirt though?! Cute AF (sorry). I'm seriously lacking in plain t-shirts so when I saw this one I knew the I needed it in my life. I think I've only bought something from Boohoo once before so I was a bit unsure what the quality etc. was going to be like considering it was so reasonable in price. I'm pleased to say it was just what I wanted and the fabric is pretty thick, so no see through dramas, yay! I've tried to search this online now, however it seems to be out of stock :( hopefully it will be back on soon!

Seeing as everyone has gone khaki obsessed this season (including myself), I decided I needed some khaki jeans in my life for everyday wear. I hadn't seen any that I liked or were the fit I was after until I came across these in H&M. They are a mid rise jean with cute zip detailing on the pockets and are SUPER comfy. Basically the dream jeans. I can't find these online but they are £14.99 in store. Bargain or what. 

I'm also still pretty content with these Public Desire 'Satine' heels, which I have mentioned before are in the sale now so if you're after some white cage heels snap them up quick! 

Hope everyone's Sunday is as lazy as mine zZzZzZ!

Neutral

Bodysuit & Skirt - Missguided // Heels - Zara (old season)

So if you didn't already know I was obsessed with Missguided, these are my latest bits I have managed to get my mitts on. It was recently my birthday and one of my besties got me this beaut nude midi skirt that I had had my eye on for a while. It's such an amazing quality for such a bargain price (only £12!) and is a doubled fabric that really keeps it's shape. I love nude and white as a combo and these shades together are definitely one of my favourite summer staples. If nude isn't your thanng but are after a bodycon midi they also have this skirt in rust, white, black and grey - a Kim K dream! I have also become a massive lover of bodysuits recently. I bought this white bodysuit a few weeks ago and I have worn it so much, I definitely am going to stock up. It's so easy to wear dressed up or down and is perfect for that day to night transition. I also think they are ideal for festivals teamed with some denim shorts! The shoes are from previous seasons ago but are  my go-to heels every time. Who doesn't love a lace up heel?  

What are your favourite summer shades?

White x Snake

River Island White Outfit
  Top & Skirt - River Island // Shoes - Missguided

As soon as summer comes around I get totally and utterly obsessed with all white errythaaang. I mean, who doesn't love looking that bit more tanned with some white garms.... non? 

So on a recent 'after-work' around the shops mooch (always dangerous after a long day), I fell in love with this pretty white skirt and top whilst browsing around River Island. I love simple/minimalistic clothes that can be dressed up or down and go with pretty much anything, so I decided these would be a strong wardrobe addition as we creep into summer. The top is super flattering and a thick jersey fabric, which makes this great quality and saves the embarrassment of the world seeing your bra through a white top. I picked up the skirt to try on for something to go with the top, but soon fell in love with this too and decided to get them both. You really can't go wrong with a white pleather mini skirt right?! 

Then to finish things off I had, yet again been browsing Missguided for some new feet treats and came across these gladiator/snake heels that are perfect for summer and not too high, so perfect for day to night. I love a gladiator style heel and these are surprisingly comfortable too and go with so much. There are always tons of discount codes and deals with Missguided so it would be rude not to when you can get shoes like these for total bargz!

Have you started summer shopping yet?

Nude


Skirt // Top // Heels - All Missguided 

Nude. Probably one of my favourite colours to wear, ever. As the nights are getting lighter (yay!) I'm totally obsessing over the build up to Summer already. I'm a massive sucker for pastel shades with lots of cream and nude so I when I clocked this outfit I decided I needed it to be mine. I was obviously on Missguided, where I spend most of my on line shopping browse time... and came across this Kim Kardashian-esque outfit. It's nude, its Kim K and it's pretty flattering - what's not to love!? I wanted it in every colour but then managed to contain myself and just go for the nude/camel. 

I've seen quite a few similar ones flying around on line, however I haven't felt the fabric of the other ones but I was pretty impressed with the quality of the Missguided one, considering it's so cheap and all. The skirt fabric is doubled over and its not that shiny, static, thin fabric I hate, which I was pretty happy about! There's nothing worse than buying an outfit, looking forward for it to come and then opening it up to find some flimsy piece of fabric that is about the same thickness as tissue paper. Just no. Luckily, Missguided always seem to get great quality for super affordable prices for impulsive forever spending shoppers like myself. Ker-ching.

 You can get the Ruched Seam Midi Skirt HERE and the matching Roll Neck Long Sleeve Crop Top HERE - both in the beaut nude/camel colour. Failing that, you can also get this little co-ord in white, grey and black if this colour isn't your thanggg. 

Do you love the Kim Kardashian inspo styles?

when i met you in the summer


Dress- Zara // Arm Accessories (earrings!) - Primark

Hey dolls, 

How exciting is it that it is nearly summer!! As soon as Coachella starts springing up on my social media feeds I can't help but feel 1. Super jel and 2. Summer is coming! I have seen so many gorgeous outfits already and I cant wait to go and get my own for festivals in the UK this year - make sure you have a look, so much festival inspo! 

I recently found this beautiful dress in Zara (how lush is Zara at the minute though?!) and I decided it had to be mine as I had been searching for a nice dress to wear at a wedding abroad this summer. I thought this would be perfect as its pretty light weight and not too heavy for a whole day in the heat. I always have a problem finding a dress for weddings as I am obsessed with wearing creams & whites which isn't ideal with this being the brides colour *siiigh* ....anyway, I was super happy when I found this mint one which I am going to wear with tan/gold shoes and accessories to finish it off. The gold arm accessories I have on are actually earrings from Primark (lol), however when I was trying these on they were SO heavy on my ears I decided I couldn't wear them. No one wants droopy ear lobes! I put them on my arms for some reason and voila - some gold arm bands! I don't like seeing things go to waste :D 

Have you been in Zara lately?

Floridians

Top - Topshop // Leggings - H&M // Jordan5's - Footlocker

Hey dolls, 

I just thought I would post my weekend day time outfit - it was a casual one as I was feeling a little worse for wear on the Sunday after a night out in Manchester! I really need to stop drinking so much wine, I am an absolute fiend. At the moment I can't stop wearing the old leggings and crop top combo, I mean, it's probably far too cold for this attire yet but I find it so comfortable to just chill in. I have been trying to put myself on a spending ban, however I have been needing some sort of bottom halves for work so H&M has been a complete saviour when it comes to leggings that I can just throw on in the morning. 

I have bought 4 pairs of late as I find them so easy to wear and so much more comfortable than a pair of jeans. They have loads of cute patterned ones in H&M at the moment for £12.99, which is ideal - along with the fact they are good quality and not going thread bare across your bum which is a nightmare when it comes to cheap leggings, not to mention highly embarrassing. I also picked up a Glamour magazine the other day which had a little 25% off voucher waiting for me inside for H&M so that made everything even cheaper and I didn't feel half as bad for breaking my ban, ha! I will never learn. 

I also thought I would wear one of my favourite pair of trainers I have, as I haven't worn them half as much as I should do and they still look brand new! I LOVE my Jordan 5 Floridians and I think they go with these leggings pretty well :).

Hope everyone has a good week!

Suede & Tassels

Dress - Koo-Ture // Wedges - Manchester Boutique

Hey dolls, 

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! Apart from working on a mad busy night due to the boxing being held in Manchester, it was a pretty chilled one which is just what I like when I've been ill and busy at work! I also had a cheeky splurge in Topshop yesterday and got myself a Kim K inspired outfit that I cannot wait to wear on my next night out! 

Whilst being super busy I did manage to pick up this pocohontas-esque dress which is a new brand to be part of Koo-Ture from Poland. I really can't make my mind up on when or where to wear it too but it's pretty cute all the same. I figured I'd probably wear it as a top for through the day and then a dress on a night out. I espesh love the tassel sleeves and it's an amazing quality, however I cant work out if this is more of a summer outfit or if I could get away with it for a wintery night out...hmm?If all else fails I'm going as Pocahontas to the next fancy dress party I'm going to, ha!

I'm off to see the new Hunger Games film tonight and I am too excited, major girl crush time over Katniss! Has anyone else seen it yet? 

Have you shopped at Koo-Ture before?

What I wore: VFNO

Dress - Koo-Ture // Boots - H&M

Hey dolls,

So this is a bit of a late one but thought I would share what I wore to the highly anticipated Vogue Fashion Night Out, which moved to Manchester this year - previously being in London.
I was joined with two beauts Charlotte from LurchHound Loves and Charlotte from A Trend I Made Earlier. I also met up with another two of my faves Sindy from Article 21 & Joanna from Minty Essence. 

There was loads going on in and around the city centre in a range of stores with opportunities to meet a few celebs and designers and hear about their current collections. It was an amazing atmosphere and everywhere seemed to be buzzing with fashionistas, music and champagne! I must admit it was a bit of an effort trekking to all the different stores with invites to some of the stores a bit out of the way, but other than that it was a fab night :)!! I had work prior to VFNO so it was a massive rush but I managed to make it! I had no idea what to wear so I grabbed this tartan bodycon that had just arrived in work before I left. Although this looked pretty on the hanger it was a bit of a nightmare to be walking around in and kept riding up all night - great! However, it did keep me warm which I couldn't say for a lot of the girls I saw walking around - they looked lush but minimal clothing in October is not for me, I was getting colder just looking at them, brrr! I've been a bit absent from blogging recently but I am having a nightmare moving flats and its nearly been a week that I still haven't moved in anywhere and living out a suitcase - WAHH! I'll be back on track when I am all settled in though :).

Did anyone else go VFNO?

STYLEetc Glamorous Girls Night Out Party



Hey Dolls,

So last week I was lucky enough to attend the 'STYLEetc Glamorous Girls Night Out Party' event which was amazing. It was such a lovely well planned night at one of my favourite venues - Sakura on Deansgate Locks. When I arrived I got a wristband as we were able to stay afterwards to one of my fave nights out in Manchester - Eivissa (yay!) and then headed downstairs to the VIP bar and downstairs bar/dance area.

The downstairs had been transformed into a showroom for previews of the current S/S range (which is gorgeous) and a sneak preview of the up and coming A/W range (equally amaze!). I couldn't wait to get stuck into the ranges and see what I would be adding to my never ending wish list! I grabbed myself a glass of champers from the VIP bar and was greeted by the lovely Leonie who was looking lush in a Glamorous playsuit! She took me through both collections and I instantly fell in love with so many items. There are some gorgeous jackets and coats for A/W- very Zara-esque but with a super reasonable price tag. I think my favourite piece had to be a PU top with contrasting sleeves, I love it.
I was also instantly drawn to the S/S collection with all the bright neon colours and patterns. Honestly, if you are going to Ibiza or some sort of festival this year, I suggest you check this lot out. My fave pieces are definitely the bright neon print leotards and the white tee's with neon detail down the sides, perfect for wearing with some slouchy pants and heels!

I then went to mingle in the VIP bar/lounge where I got to see my lovely fave Manchester bloggers - Lily, Charlotte and Laura. Glamorous had added a little celeb to their guest list and Tulisa, Chelsee Healey and Platnum were around the VIP area enjoying the event too! There was lots of gorgeous sushi platters being handed out by the lovely bar staff at Sakura which looked super yummy (I had already eaten so I didn't indulge!).Not only all of this there were also 3 make over bars where you could go to get your make-up, nails or hair done (or all of them!) which sums up the 'Girls Night Out' event name! I ended up getting my hair done by Sam and she did an AMAZING job! I love big bouncy hair and she did just that! I will certainly be going to the salon on Deansgate to the blow dry bar to get my hair done again ;).

By this time it was 10pm and even though I would have loved to stay on after the event and enjoy Eivissa I was super tired and had work in the morning so I decided to be sensible and head home. Believe me, I have done and Eivissa/Work the next day combo before and its not the best ha. I had such a lovely time though and left with a super amazing goody bag filled with treats and a jumper from Glamorous! How generous! You can also see a write up and pics from the event over at STYLEetc HERE.

Also I have added the Rihanna image at the bottom from the Glamorous Twitter/Facebook page - how lush is this outfit!? Think I need it! You can check out Glamorous HERE if you haven't already!

Please Note:The last two photos from the event are courtesy of I AM VIP and Sven Eselgroth :). 

Do you love glamorous?
