PayDay Wishlist

So pay day is slowly approaching (really slow) and of course I have already been mentally making a list of everything I need in my life as soon as my account gets a much needed update. I’ve been quite good saving money recently so I think a pay day treat is in order. I love this time of year when everything starts getting a bit more summery and gets me super excited for the sunnier season! Summer is my favourite as it usually means holidays, lighter nights and the best clothes.

I’ve got a bad obsession for a neutral palette and anything nude, khaki, camel – I want you. Thrown in with some black, white and grey, these are my go-to colours. I desperately need some new jeans and I thought instead of going for the usual black/denim shades, these Topshop Joni jeans in khaki will be ideal for a wardrobe update. They also have them in camel too which are super nice. Misguided have obviously made my wish list with these grey Biker Ponte Leggings and the nude Ribbed Midi Dress. I think these are great basics that will look good dressed up or down. I basically live in leggings so these are absolute staples for my wardrobe. 

I'm heading to Jamaica this summer (woop!) so I need to start getting some swimwear for my vaycay and I've already fallen in love with this Brown Lace Up Swimsuit from River Island. It's super chic and although I don't wear swimsuits a lot on holiday I think it's nice to have at least one with me just in case I want to cover up a bit more. I also love the new caps in at La Moda, especially the Sprung Khaki Faux Suede Cap. This cap comes in lots of different colours but I'm really into khaki at the moment and I think this would look nice with sleek straight hair and some gold hoops. 

I'm so happy Zara have started bringing out some new bags for Spring Summer and I have already got my sights set on this beaut Tan Leather Tote Bag. I really like shopper tote bags as I always carry around loads of crap with me and this one even has a cute patterned pouch to keep all the important stuff in - ideal bag. As a bit of a sneaker head, I do love a new pair of trainers and I really want to get my mitts on the Reebok Classic X FACE Stockholm in the dusty pink colour. I think Reebok classics are quite literally a classic trainer and I love that all things retro are now back in fashion. Last but not least is this Adidas Trefoil Sweatshirt in plain and simple, black. I feel like you can't really go wrong with an originals sweater and it is something I can see myself wearing to death as its so easy to wear and will go with most casual outfits. 

So that's my list for payday! Roll on next week!

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 :)

weekend vibes

So this weekend, I decided to venture outside for my blog photos instead of just using my room as a background. I feel much more comfortable taking pictures inside but I always feel an outside background looks so much better especially when it comes to lighting etc. I haven't quite got the hang of my camera settings yet, so I need to mess around with those (I'm literally useless with cameras) but my BFF did a fab job with what I gave her!

Anyway, besides my photo issues, I wanted to share with you THE most beautiful shoes that I was super lucky to win in a twitter competition River Island had running a few weeks ago. When I realised I had won, I literally couldn't believe it, they are one of the dreamiest pair of shoes I've ever owned. They are from the RI Studio Collection and are an amazing high quality suede with a lace up front and gold detailing. Sooo pretty.  

I love a black outfit so I wore my Brylie bodysuit from ARK Clothing, which is also really easy to wear as it has a back zip fastening, so no need to get tangled up in all the lace up detail on the front! I also put on my Missguided midi skirt (I have this in four colours because I love them so much!) and then as it was pretty freezing this weekend, I wore my Radnor sleeveless coat in camel to stay warm, also from ARK Clothing. This coat has also just gone in the sale so if you like it go grab yourself a bargain! ARK also have 30% off EVERYTHING at the moment, so I've already got my eye on a few things as that's an offer that just cant be missed! 

I hope you have had a fab weekend and I've linked everything I'm wearing below.

MG Lingerie loves

 
So as I'm already a massive fan of Missguided, I was super excited when I found out that they were expanding and putting together a very beautiful lingerie range. Who doesn't love pretty underwear?! I had been scouring their Instagram/Snapchat ever since I heard such delightful news and I must admit the BTS shots for the range looked so beautiful and really made the new pieces look even more amazing.

I absolutely love lacy delicate underwear and decided to pick out my faves from the range even though it was pretty hard to narrow it all down. However saying this, my total favourite from the whole range has to be the burgundy push up bra and triple strap knickers. They look super flattering and I love the warm burgundy colour. I think having pretty lingerie is a good confidence boost and I always feel that little bit more content knowing that I'm all matching underneath my outfit- this doesn't happen regularly FYI, but when I'm not rushing around probably late for something I usually try to make the effort! 
 
I also love the fact that one of the best things about the more lacy pieces is that they look super cute under sheer tops and with a plunging neckline, win/win!

I've linked my top picks below...
 
burgundy deep plunge bra  & burgundy triple side strap knickers
 
nude strap detail triangle bra & nude strap detail thong
 
black strappy lace triangle bra & black polka mesh thong
 
white strappy lace triangle bra & white lace thong
 
red strap detail triangle bra & red strap detail thong
 
nude deep plunge body

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 ♥

Laced up


Bodysuit & Midi Skirt - Missguided // Shoes - Public Desire 

As you are probably aware I'm a pretty big fan of Missguided so my latest outfit is this bodysuit and midi skirt. I've been wearing quite a lot of black recently so I thought why not add some more to the collection, it's just always more flattering isn't it?! I've got a bad thing for bodycon midi skirts so I have this one in 3 other colours (oops) because they are just so ideal for day to night wear! Recently I've become a massive fan of the bodysuit trend as I find them so easy to wear and they basically just hold everything together, ha! I really like the lace up front on the bodysuit as it makes the whole outfit look that little bit sassier and is perfect for a night out teamed with a skirt or some skinny jeans. 

I had been stalking a few inspo Instagram accounts and found these beaut white cage shoes from Public Desire that I decided I needed in my life. I had been looking for a white pair of heels that didn't look too tacky and thought these were just what I was looking for. I feel like some white heels can look pretty cheap but I thought these ones would go with loads of outfits and are really affordable at the same time...if anything they are a major bargain! I've linked everything above if you fancy some monochrome vibes in your life!

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?

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?
