White Nights


Dress- Missguided // Shoes - Public Desire 

Ever since Kimmy K took to instagram with her bodycon oufits and neutral pallettes, I've been an absolute sucker for a high neck/ribbed dress. I think they are super flattering and are just perfect for date night with your guy or even some gladiator sandals for shopping with the girls. When I spotted this I knew I had to have it and since I've had it on, my mind was already telling me that I need it in every colour! It's super comfortable and stretchy as well, which I was a bit worried about. I imagined it was going to be a nightmare to walk around in with it being so long and tight but it's totally fine. I think I would probably wear nude underwear or some sort of underskirt with this dress though as it is slightly see through when its stretched out!

As for my heels, I haven't had these Public Desire beauts off my feet - I love them! It must be because I had wanted some white heels for such a while and these were just what I was after. I have linked both items above and the heels are now in the sale so if you are after something super affordable, check them out! 

Happy Sunday everyone

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?

Miami Pink

 Two Piece - Celeb Look* // Shoes - Public Desire

So if you don't know already, I am pretty obsessed with all things Kardashian and the main lady herself, KKW (Kim Kardashian-West if you have been living under a rock :P). Whether you love her or hate her, you can't deny her passion for fashion and her designer looks. Personally, I love how she dresses and she is definitely one of my all time favourite style icons. I can remember seeing snaps of her at the opening of her and her sisters DASH store in Miami in a peach pink roll neck two piece. I was instantly thinking, 'I need that outfit in my life asap'. So when I was browsing the 'Celeb Look' on line fashion site, I spotted this little two piece and knew I had to have one to add to my Kim K inspired section in the wardrobe! Celeb Look are a fab online fashion site that offer celebrity style at ridiculously good prices - ideal if you are a bit skint and need something new for the weekend... we've all been there! This particular two piece was literally £9.99!! Insane. How could you say no?! They also go perfect with the beaut Gianna heels from Public Desire a little bit more Kim K inspo right there for you!

Have you shopped at Celeb Look before?

Black Heart


Hat - H&M // Top- Sample Sale // Skirt - H&M // Shoes - Missguided

So I'm back in black again and getting serious festival fever with all festivals slowly approaching! I am heading to Parklife this weekend for my birthday and then hopefully Wireless festival in July! Exciting times. Choosing festival outfits is always one of my favourite parts of the whole festival experience as I feel like you can go all out and not look silly when embracing the boho vibes to their full potential, lol! Although I am going to grab myself some new attire for Parklife, I feel like today's outfit was inspired by my excitement for festival season and I can't wait to wear this at some point over summer. I love a fedora hat and I want to expand my collection in khaki and tan - these are so perfect for those bad hair days! I managed to pick up my crop top from a sample sale in work which I just thought would go with pretty much anything and ideal for festivals/going out. The skirt is from H&M which my friend gave me after she decided it wasn't for her. I can't believe she wanted to let it go but I'm not complaining - I love a classic maxi skirt and with it being black, it goes with anything and everything. I am mostly obsessing over my shoes though that are new from Missguided and are SO comfy. They are ideal for every day wear and casual drinks at night. Definitely no regrets buying these, that's for sure. 

Have you started getting your festival outfits?

back to ba$ics


Top - River Island // Skirt - H&M // Shoes - Public Desire

So as you have probably already guessed from my recent posts I am loving all things basic at the minute (not people though, obvs). I keep finding myself drawn to simple pieces that are super easy to wear for any occasion. I had seen a lot of these jersey draped skirts around and was planning on getting myself a nude one but then after much deliberation, decided I should venture out and buy another colour that isn't white, black or nude (help). My friend had picked up this grey draped skirt a few weeks ago which looked totally lush on, so I thought grey was a good alternative for my nude obsession and at £9.99 I really couldn't complain. I then opted for my white crop top as it's so comfy and I am still obsessed with the super cute sweetheart neck line. Also FYI this is now in the sale on River Island for £10 and also comes in black and stripes... it really is the best crop top I own, promise! To finish the outfit I went for some Kim K-esque Gianna nude lace up heels from Public Desire, which I think are totally dreamy. I love a strong lace up heel and these definitely fit the bill! Next stop - the Kylie Jenner inspired, knee high lace up heels from Public Desire are a must, they are too beaut! If you haven't seen them you should definitely go have a look here!

All Black


 Maxi Dress - Missguided

Every girl has those staple wardrobe pieces, and recently I've been trying to build up my collection as I feel like I'm constantly just throwing everything away. I've always been such an impulsive buyer and will just buy something on a whim that's going to fly in and out of fashion, which to be fair, is okay when we're just dealing with high street prices. I've also tried to buy more black recently, which is pretty strange as most girls I know live in black but I seem to always wear white and cream, so I decided I needed to switch it up. I wanted a black low back maxi for summer, therefore I obviously turned straight to to my old faithful, Missguided and found this little beaut. This dress was actually on my wish list in a previous post, so I have had my eye on it for a while. I wanted a dress that I could wear day to night and I figured this was perfect as the split and pretty spaghetti strap back are pretty sassy, but can still look cute with some flat high gladiator sandals too. I love the high neck on the dress as well as I think these necklines are always pretty flattering and contrast well with the high split. This dress also comes in a few different colours including taupe and navy which are both super beauts too - I want them all!

Embellished

Racer Crop - Miss Selfridge // Embellished Shorts - Miss Selfridge // Gladiators - Next (old) // Rings - Topshop //Necklace - Primark 

Hey!

How nice is the sun right now? I am very impressed with the English weather this week, especially as it rains allllll the time in Manchester (like abnormally). It's making me feel super summery and makes getting up every morning so much easier, not to mention picking out nice sun appropriate outfits each day. The only down side is being stuck in work whilst it's boiling, so I hope it holds out for the weekend too! Although I moan about being in work, I have actually just got a new job that I have been super excited about and I'm enjoying meeting lots of lovely new workies and having a bit of a change :) which is not always a bad thing. 

Any way, rambling on over - I recently got a few things from Miss Selfridge that I put together to wear through the day or on holiday/festivals. I think embellished shorts look amazing on a night out but I think dressed down they can look pretty cute too. These ones I picked up in the sale so they are an absolute bargain down from the original price. If you don't know already, I always find Miss Selfridge has lots to offer when it comes down to beads and embellishment. I decided to wear this with a crop top that I have already worn loads of times now as its such a staple item for me. I love a crop top and I really like this racer style, so I got them in a couple of colours as I know I will get lots of wear out of them. 

If you haven't noticed already, Primark have had some amazing jewellery these past few months and I have loved finding some absolute gems in there. One being this silver piece that I completely fell in love with. I don't usually wear that much silver jewellery, but this one I had to have! There are lots of gorgeous summer styles so make sure you have a look if you are passing by!

I hope everyone has a lovelyyyy weekend :)

Love it like XO



Dress - Zara // Hoops - Topshop 

Hey dolls, 

Just a quick one, but I wanted to share with you this beaaaautiful dress I picked up from Zara before my holidays. I totally wasn't meant to be buying anything and talked myself out of it about 5 times, but it was just to pretty to leave behind! 

I am a sucker for a white/cream dress and when I saw this in the Manchester store I grabbed my size and took it to the changing rooms where the love affair began ;). They also have it in black which is super nice as well - but I thought white would look nice with a tan and tan accessories. 

I wore this on holiday with a tan belt and gladiators but completely forgot to take picture (I'm so rubbish at taking holiday pics) but as the dress is so simple, its really easy to dress up with a statement gold/silver necklace or keep it minimal with some gold hoops like I have. I love the back strap detail and the boho-esque look for holidays so if you are looking for a pretty maxi dress, this one is perf! The only issue I had was that I cant wear a bra with it and its a little see-though (eeep!) but there is so many bra/boob diy kits now I had come fully prepared! 

Have you been holiday shopping in Zara? It's all too nice!

Soul Junkie


Two Piece - Soul Junkie // Gladiators - Primark // Hoops - Topshop

Hey dolls!

So I've just got back from an amazing holiday in Portugal and I've definitely got a bad case of the holiday blues! I'm already trying to find another one! It was so nice to just chill out for a week and not have to think about work or all the other sh!t you have to deal with every day. I also went to a wedding whilst I was there which was beautiful - perfect weather and setting at the Hilton hotel in Vilamoura - I would have been made up if it was mine! I obviously bought loads to wear before I went and as usual, never got chance to wear everything :(

I didn't get chance to wear this gorgeous two piece whilst I was away but it is definitely a perfect holiday outfit and would look amazing in Ibiza or the Caribbean - well anywhere hot to be honest! I found Soul Junkie through bloggers and social media and I fell in love with all of Vanessa's (creator & designer) stunning, one of a kind designs. It's the perfect mix of gypsy meets bohemian which is right up my street. I love the fact that there is only a few of each design available making your piece extra special at an affordable price. There is nothing worse than heading on holiday and everyone's wearing the same Topshop dress, right?! 

Vanessa creates a range of two pieces and kimono/cover ups, which are equally as gorgeous. I have definitely jumped on the co-ord craze so my first purchase was obviously one of these. There is also now a 'Boho Baby' section available which is just TOO CUTE!! 
I have my eye on so many others so I better get on to my favourite's quick before they all get snapped up! The one I am wearing is called 'Night Becomes Day' and there are still some available. You can get one of these HERE for £35.00 - bargain. 

Have you bought a Soul Junkie piece before?

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?

Jasmine

Top - Topshop // Skirt - Zara // Bracelets - Fossil & Tiffany // Head Jewel - Duty Free Shop
 
Hey dolls, 

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend! I have been learning how to cook, which is always good as I'm sick of eating the same meals every day - kinda boring! Especially when you are trying to be healthy...variety is definitely the key for me otherwise I will slip back to my naughty foods! I also went to my first meeting for new on line magazine, FIBRE magazine, which is super exciting for me! I am a fashion & lifestyle writer for this super chic new magazine and I am very excited about it all - lots of good things to come! If you fancy having a browse you can do HERE

Besides probably being the only one drunk at the meeting and then trying to cure a heavy head on the Saturday, I haven't done much else. I have put myself on a strict 'no buying clothes' ban and it's the worst thing EVER. There is just no way I can save if I don't though, so hopefully it will pay off (literally). I got really worried I would have nothing to blog about but I opened my wardrobe and discovered a couple of newish things I haven't blogged about yet, so it's all good. I also want to give you guys my thoughts on my DTY Looks extension quad too, so I will be writing up a review this week :). 

I absolutely love this Zara skirt that I bought in the sale, it's so ideal for summer and I cant wait to team this with some crop tops on holiday! I think they have it in other colours too AND for less than £7 at the moment, I might have to break the ban and grab a few more! 

  Have you started your summer shopping yet? I can't wait to start buying bikinis!
