Public Desire: Faves

(L-R) Kelis, Tasha, Lailah, Neive - Public Desire via My1stWish
Hey dolls! 
So since I've been getting ready to head for some well needed sun, I have obviously been spending money I certainly don't have on anything and everything that screams summer. Not only have I been making weekly visits to the likes of Zara & H&M (my absolute fave high street shops) I have been scouring on line for cute pieces I can jam into my over flowing suit case. 
I find that Instagram is perfect for finding new and up and coming brands that offer you something a bit different to the high street. I have found loads of brands through the likes of Instagram and Twitter and bought myself more than a few key pieces for summer. All of which are super cute and different to anything I would buy from the likes of Zara or Topshop. 
I recently came across a shoe dream when I saw the beaut Sarah Ashcroft from 'That Pommie Girl' wearing a pair of the pink 'Callie' platforms (seriously dreamy) from new brand Public Desire. Like most girls, as soon as we get a sniff of Spring/Summer it's pastel central when it comes to re-stocking the wardrobe and these are a perfect addition! I then started following Public Desire on Instagram where I fell more and more in love with their new range of pretty shoes and mentally teaming them up with summer outfits in my wardrobe. I've picked out my four current faves that I'm lusting over right now (especially those Kelis platforms!) as seen above. The Kelis and Tasha's are perfect for pairing with a cute co-ord for a girls night out and the Lailah & Neive are pairs that I would wear through the day or on holiday - comfy and chic all wrapped into one! 
There are loads more styles to choose from over at My1stWish and with super affordable prices along with a crazy cheap delivery service, you really can't go wrong! If you don't already follow them on Instagram you can do HERE. This is the best way to see all their new and up and coming stock... it really is shoe heaven! 
Have you bought a pair of Public Desire's before? They are to die! 

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!

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!

Spring Wishlist

Top Row (L-R) - Jumper - Miss Guided, Pink Heels - Miss Guided, Boyfriend Jeans - Pretty Little Thing, Blue Two Piece - Miss Guided

Bottom Row (L-R) - Bikini Tops - River Island, Nude Faux Fur Coat - Pretty Little Thing 

Hey Dolls, 

Happy Sunday :) ! I'm having such a lazy weekend and it is much needed - I'm constantly tired all the time...Zzzz. I have put myself on a shopping ban at the moment *WAHHHH* so I have been trying to be really good with my money so I can plan lots of fun things this Summer. However, being the shopaholic that I am, I obviously want to buy everything more than ever and I have been creating a mental note of everything I am lusting over at the moment. 

I am especially loving new pretty Spring pieces from Miss Guided, Pretty Little Thing & River Island, which is what my wish list above is made up of. I definitely feel more comfortable dressing for Spring/Summer than winter, hello pastels! I am obsessing over the River Island bikini collection at the moment too - I can't wait to get my hands on some of the new printed ones - they are TOO pretty. Every time I walk in that store, I feel like a fat kid in a sweet shop - they are so bang on with everything, from the bikinis to the shoes to the jewellery - I want it all!  

I know that Winter is over but it's still pretty cold at the minute so I think this nude pink faux fur jacket is perfect for right now with it being on trend colour wise but still cosy! I have the same one in black and I have wore it loads since I got it last Christmas time. 

Where have you been shopping lately? My money is burning a hole in my pocket!
