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?

Dress & Shoes - Missguided

If you didn't know already, like a lot of girls, I love a bodycon dress. I recently bought this dress from Missguided (obvs) as I thought it would be a great wardrobe staple to have with it being such a simple cut and subtle colour. I love a good nude shade and some of my favourite outfits are really quite basic and minimal, nothing too fussy. The dress is made from a stretchy jersey fabric and the perfect midi length - which might I add is a pretty good quality as well...not too see through considering it was so cheap! I always seem to go for this kind of length in bodycon styles as I think they offer a good combination of sexy and classy at the same time. 

Along side this, my new heels are my absolute favourites. I had been lusting after them from the Missguided Peace & Love Collection for a while but my size never seemed to be in :( So I was absolutely thrilled when I saw them back in and they got added to my basket in an instant. I've worn them recently on a night out and they actually last a long time before the heel pain begins so I was pretty impressed! I've linked both below :)

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?

Bralet & Pants - Miss Guided // Shoes - Zara // Bodychain - eBay // Bindi - Duty Free Shop // Rings - Topshop

Hey  dolls, 

So I thought I would share with you an outfit that I bought from Miss Guided not so long ago to wear for my birthday. I have an obsession with the Miss Guided bralets at the moment as I think they are perf for holidays and festivals - especially when it's super hot! I love them teamed with something high waisted like some cute denim levis' or some high waist flares. I bought this bralet in white and black as I figured these would go with most outfits. However, there are loads of gorgeous pastel colours to choose from too. 

I bought the pants as I wanted to go for a nude look to match my beloved Zara heels! I love how comfy these pants are and they look lovely with. a little crop top. You can get the bralet HERE and Unfortunately I couldn’t find the pants that I am wearing, but I have found a really similar pair that are just as nice HERE. Not to mention that Miss Guided have an amazing 50% sale on at the moment that you have to check out - so many bargains! 


Have you checked out the Miss Guided Sale yet?

Dress/Vest - Zara // AirForce 1 Low-Tops - Footlocker // Rings - Topshop 

Hey dolls, 

So it's been a while! I have had a busy few weeks with it being my birthday and also getting a new job :) new starts and all that jazz. June has been a good month and I can't believe it's July already! I'm heading to Wireless festival on Friday for the weekend and I am SO excited! I go every year and I always have too much fun!

I recently had a little look in the Zara sale - if you have read my posts before you will know that I HATE going through sale (I don't know if it's the longgg years of working in a retail store and wanting to genuinely kill anyone that throws everything on the floor, or the general ball ache of  just trowelling through loads of crap.) However, I managed to walk in Zara on the first day of the sale on a whim so it wasn't too bad. I picked up everything white as per usual and also found my dress that I bought a few weeks ago with £20 off (sake) along with this little number. It's a super nice soft fabric and perfect for just everyday wear whilst it's pretty warm. It's quite sports luxe so I teamed it with my brand new AirForce 1 low-tops that I love, a lot. I also ended up in Topshop sale and headed straight over to the jewellery section as this is always full of gems (literally) I managed to get an all white (shock) choker and all white/gold rings and midi rings for about £6 - how could I resist?  
Have you been in the sales?

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?

  Jumper - Ark Clothing // Jeans - Primark // Nike Airforce 1 - Footlocker

Hey dolls, 

Hope everyone has had a good weekend! I am a proper sucker for a slogan t-shirt or jumper so when I saw this one in Ark last week, I decided I needed it! You can never have too many jumpers, especially when it's not really that warm yet. I love the baby pink colour teamed with denim and I am slowly filling my wardrobe up with pastel colours for spring/summer, so this is another addition to my ever growing collection! I bought this in store, when really I should have checked on line as Ark currently have 20% off all sweats so you can bag this with an extra discount if you buy on line.

I got the jeans a little while ago from Primark when I was having a mooch after work one night. I love the skinny high waisted jeans and I thought that these could easily pass off as a pair of Topshop jeans! I think these were around the £13 mark - bargain! I also dusted off my old faithful Nike Airforce 1's so I can walk down the street and blind everyone with how bright they are. They are my ultimate faves!

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!

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!

I'll Bring You Flowers...


Playsuit - Miss Guided // Fedora -  H&M // Chelsea Boots - Topshop (old) // Fur Jacket - Vera Moda // Bodychain - Topshop (old)
 
 Hey Dolls, 

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! I am literally bored out of my head with no money and nothing to do. I usually love a decent chilled weekend but I need some activities other than going to the gym, ha. I wore this jumpsuit once for my best friends birthday around Christmas and I'm so glad I received this as one of my Christmas presents as I think it is definitely perfect for all year round. I didn't post this outfit when I wore it for a night out in Manchester, so I thought I would share the love now! 

This is probably the type of outfit I would wear for a gig or concert as its a good'en for going out in afterwards too. I would say it would be good for a festival too but,  playsuits + portable toilets = disaster! Well it does for me anyway - I don't fancy stripping naked in a portable toilet where there is a queue of 1000 people outside, risqué indeed. I just love the lace detailing and I think it works well for Summer just as much as it does for Winter - a wardrobe staple! You can get this beaut 'Alava' playsuit from Miss Guided HERE.

I recently got round to buying myself one of these fedora hats which I could never make my mind up if it would suit me. Either way I wanted one that much I came to the conclusion I was just going to wear them regardless, ha. I also can't get enough of my black fur Vera Moda jacket, I get so much wear out of it. I recently did a 'wish list' post of a similar one in nude pink which is also beaut. Think I'm going to have to get myself that one too. 

Hope everyone is having a much more fun filled weekend than me!
