Miss Guided A/W Picks




Hey dolls, 
So I've been a bit AWOL recently due to not having a camera to snap my outfits on - I tried my phone but when I upload the quality is rubbish :( so hopefully I will be able to get one soon and get back on top of things. 

Seeing as all the A/W collections have been appearing in my inbox I thought I would put together some of my favourite pieces from the new Miss Guided collection that I have been lusting over. Miss Guided seem to always tick all my boxes and I'm forever excited to see what they come up with when a new season approaches. I'm definitely a summer lover, but I can't wait to get myself some furry pieces for my A/W wardrobe! I have been going through my wardrobe recently and I just want to completely re-vamp everything and start a whole new winter wardrobe- but who doesn't!? 

I am definitely for the boho look, whether it be summer or winter so I am all about the rustic floral prints and nude furs making the Effie Maxi Dress and the Jenifer Fur Gilet must haves for autumn! Teamed with some statement gold jewellery like the Blanche Pendant Necklace - I love this look!

I also enjoy wearing different styles and sometimes I just want a grungy day where it's all about the black. I am obsessed with mom jeans at the moment - a bit late on the band wagon but hey... so these 
Drew Ripped Mom Jeans are perfect for winter.  My wardrobe is never complete without an oversized t-shirt, and even more when it has our fave supermodels on too - Jourdan Supermodel Boyfriend Tee ! I think a minimal outfit like this looks even better with a statement piece of jewellery and I am loving the Diane Pendant Choker, very gothic-esque.

Last but not least, my picks wouldn't be complete without a bit of nude and pastel thrown in for good measure. I think pastels are definitely one of my favourite trends/colour palette's whatever the weather. I am also a massive sucker for a two piece and love the baby blue combo of the Casey Crop Top and  Madelynn Pencil Skirt - great for dressing up or down. I also picked the Bea Double Chain Skirt as I think this could be a good staple item for winter that will go with everything, plus the gold chain detailing is super cute! If you're a Kardashian fan, I'm sure you will have noticed the Kylie Jenner dungaree that was going around a while ago when she was photographed in Miami in a gorgeous tailored beige pair. I did notice a few similar floating around but they looked pretty crappy material. However, I think the Miss Guided Katayun Tailored Dungarees look really good quality so I might have to give them a whirl! 

Are you lovin' the Miss Guided new A/W collections?

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?

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!

Spring Wishlist


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!

Drunk in love

Skirt - Miss Guided // Top - H&M // Shoes - River Island 
Hey dolls, 

Oooh my, this is my first post since before Christmas! Bad blogger! I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas & a Happy New Year :) and also ate as much as me *cry face*. I now have to find myself a new gym and some motivation from somewhere to get a bangin bod for Summer....Zzzz. To be honest I am so ready for Summer. I know we have only just had Christmas but I always hate the in between part to Summer - I always find it so hard to dress for with the lovely UK weather (naaat).

Anyway I'm obviously madly obsessed with all PVC pencil skirts since Kimmy K was last rocking one (I bought the tan one from Topshop too!) so I decided to get this pretty pastel pink one from Miss Guided to wear over the Christmas period. I ended up not wearing it due to getting lots of nice things to wear from my family so I now need somewhere to wear this to! The only thing I found with this skirt is that it was a bit too long for my liking, so me being me, decided to give it the snip so it was the same length as my Topshop one. I was a bit apprehensive at first but its the type of fabric that wouldn't fray so it was all good. I had also been putting off the A\W sales because I hate how busy and ruthless people are and I'm just too lazy to be so hyperactive over a sale rail, unless it's something that I really want. Howevveeeeer, I went into River Island on a week day in the hope of less people and I managed to get some beaut new heels and a dress that will be ideal for summer! I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty chuffed with my purchases! 


Has anyone else ventured into the sales or are you a hater like me? Haha

Backless...

                 Bodysuit - Miss Guided // Trousers - H&M // Shoes - Office // Silver Bands - Ebay

Hey dolls! 

I am loving this four day week, definitely could get used to this! Hope everyone else is having a good week, mine has been pretty mehh, nothing spesh happening with me, although I have just booked a last minute holiday so I am very excited about that! I haven't been away for so long and I think I deserve a break in the sun! I decided to buy one of the Miss Guided body suits as they were so cheap at just 8.99 and even though the American Apparel ones are obviously thicker and a better quality, for less than half the price you really are getting a steal with this one. I think these body suits look lush with a range of outfits but I chose to team it with these trousers as I prefer to cover up one half of my body if I have a lot of the other half on show.

The bands that I am wearing are not actually meant to go on your arms, but they are ankle cuffs HAHA what a doughnut I am. Thing is, I originally bought some gold cuffs off Ebay and they sent me these by accident. They were sent from China so I certainly wasn't going to send them back and they very kindly sent me my correct order and I got to keep these. I had no idea what they were for so shoved them on my arms, after seeing similar ones on blogs and searching them on the sellers 'items I'm selling', I can confirm you wear them on your ankle/leg LOLS. Never mind. If you are looking for a pair they are super cheap, you can go to the link under my images to buy them. 

Apart from my fashion faux pas I really like this outfit and will look forward to wearing it on my next night out :) Have a good weekend everyone!

Why can't I have it all...

wishlist


Hey dolls, 

Just thought I would give you a run down of my current wish list. I'm a little concerned that it's nearly all black but I just want need all these things in my life at the moment!

1. Feline Tee (similar HERE) - Ebay
Love these statement tee's that joke with the designer originals! Plus they are fab for just throwing on with pretty much any outfit! You can tuck this tee into anything, disco pants, high waisted shorts, dungarees, skater skirt - ANYTHING.


2. Off The Shoulder Bardot LBD - Love this simple Miss Guided LBD, it's perfect for pretty much any night out and can be dressed up in so many ways! I love the off the shoulder 'bardot' look as well, very cute. 
 
3. Gold Chain (Similar HERE) - I have recently been buying everything off ebay when it comes to jewellery, there are so many bargains I just don't see the point in forking out for something in Topshop when you can get pretty much the same via Ebay! 
 
4. Homies beenie - Another Ebay lust! Love these beenies, I've always been a bit precarious as to whether I even suit them but I'd like to give this one a try. 
 
5. Dope 24k Logo Snapback- Karma loop is one of my new faves for fashion. I love so many things on here! Espesh the aaccessories! Only problem is that it's an American website and I haven't bought anything yet so not sure about delivery etc! 
 
6. Fermina Leather Heeled Sandles - I have loved these shoes ever since I saw them in zara a while back. I really like the double strap at the top on these Miss Guided ones and they are a very classic pair of shoes to have in the wardrobe :) ! 
 
7. Rihanna for River Island Boots - I always feel a bit hit and miss about celeb collaborations but if it's someone I love i.e. Kardashians I always end up buying something. However when I heard Rihanna was collaborating, I was super excited as I LOVE her style and would consider her as one of my favourite fashion icons. I was immediately drawn to these boots when I walked into the store and they are all I can think of when it comes to shoes at the moment - NEED! 
 
8. Black Almina Halterneck Bodysuit - I have actually just bought this after seeing Melissa from Pretty Little Obsessions posted this on her instagram looking lovely! I have wanted the AA one for a while but never got round to getting one, so for less than half the price I couldn't really say no to this one! 
 
9. Denim Skater Skirt - Again, another item I have been wanting for a while! I wear my leather skater skirt to death and I am definitely in need of a Summer version! I love light wash denim and I can't wait till this is back in stock in my size in Fashion Union so I can add this to my wardrobe! 
 
10. Rihanna for River Island Split Maxi - Another Rihanna want! I couldn't have a wish list without a 'split' being featured somewhere could I?! A girl obsessed. I absolutely love everything about this dress and I think it is gorgeous! It's not very summery, but the weather is hardly hitting high climates at the moment so I think I'm safe! 

Do you like anything off my wish list? What are you lusting after at the minute?

Miss Guided | Maxi Split


Hey dolls,

Can't believe it's Friday already! This week has flown in and I'm not complaining. I've had a pretty busy week as per usual and I'm on a spending ban WAH. Need to save my pennies for holidays ! Anyway, before my spending ban I made the most of it and bought a few pieces, including a gorgeous dress from American Apparel which I will post sometime this week! 
So I thought I would share with you my latest purchase from Miss Guided. If you read my blog regularly, you will know that I have some unknown obsession with a high side split. I don't know why I love it so much but I do and my wardrobe is slowly becoming split central for spring/summer! I really like wearing baby pink and nude colours so I was immediately drawn to this dress when I was having a little browse of the new in section last week. It also comes in a gorgeous mint colour as well, which I have been lusting after ever since I received this one. I am definitely getting too excited for summer clothes. I love all the pastel colours and I much prefer summer clothes shopping than winter fo sho.
I have bought a black maxi split dress from Miss guided before and the reason why I keep going back is due to the length of this dress. As I am pretty tall (about 5"7/8) getting a maxi dress is always a pain as if I want to go on a night out and wear heels I cant be bothered with some half mast dress or skirt. This Miss Guided dress is perfect for me as it is quite long and I can wear with or without heels and it still looks okay!You can get this dress HERE and it is just £17.99 which I think is a bargain! 

Have you bought anything off Miss Guided recently?

Black & White | LBD


Dress - H&M 
Blazer - Miss Guided 
Boots - Daisy Street*
Watch - Michael Kors 

Hey Dolls, 

YAY , it's Friday! This week has gone so fast :O, not that I'm complaining as it always means the weekend is finally here. Just a quick post on a dress I got last month from H&M but I haven't yet had chance to wear it! I'm always a bit unsure about mesh on dresses as it can sometimes look a bit naff but as this dress was only £12.99, I thought it will do for one of them nights when I can't find anything to wear and I need to fall back on some sort of LBD. I'm sporting the studded shoe boots yet again from Daisy street, because I simply cant get enough of them - they literally go with everything and are uber comfy :). Definitely a good investment pair of shoes if you don't want to splurge on the Campbells! I teamed this dress with a white blazer I got from Miss Guided. I got this jacket as I saw Kim K wearing a straight boyfriend one for a change from her usual fitted style blazers and decided I needed one too. Obviously 8). I'm tempted to wear this for a house party this weekend but I'm thinking it's too dressy hmm decisionssss! Oooh also I have had my blog re-vamped by the lovely Becky and I love the new look. It looks much more clean and tidy now so I am a very happy blogger :) If you are looking for a new blog look I couldn't recommend her enough! You can find her VERY reasonable blog shop HERE. (She didn't ask me to write this by the way!)

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend planned!

Hey Dolls,

Just a little post to show you what I have been buying lately! I've been a bit naughty and had a bit of a spree! I think I deserve it though considering I haven't had a holiday yet this year & I got myself a new job that I love - this is what I'm telling myself anyway!

I am loving Miss Guided at the moment and can't get enough of their new stuff! I'm sick of wearing my Zara leather jacket on a night out (as much as I love it) and I fancied a cream/white boyfriend style blazer to keep me warm. This blazer was only £25.99 !! You can get it HERE. I am also loving the studded collars at the minute so I picked up another Miss Guided dress in cream with the studded collar at £26.99 which you can get HERE.

I was walking through Manchester city centre on the way home last night, and came across 'Hearts & Bows' shop. This is similar to shop 'ARK', if you have heard of it! I absolutely love their stock and I could have bought everything. I managed to narrow it down to the vintage army jacket, leather racer skirt & studded edged collar nude pink blouse. This all came to around £72, which I think is really reasonable considering I got a whole outfit and a jacket. I'm going to wear them for a gig I'm going to this Friday and I don't know if I'm more excited about seeing the band or wearing my new attire, haha.

In Primark I got everything in the picture for £12!! Bargainell ! I needed some large rollers and gold hoops in general and then I have been desperate for a white/cream peplum top, so at £8 I couldn't really say no! If you are into your little charm necklaces, I picked up this letter 'A' one for £1.50 & they have lots of other cute charm necklaces to!

I also couldn't resist some beauty treats too! I decided after reading review after review on Bio Oil and the Sally Hansen 'Insta Dri', I should invest in these products. I haven't tried the 'Insta Dri' yet but I am loving life with the Bio Oil! I coated myself in it last night, and not only does it smell lush, my skin felt AMAZE this morning! I would suggest using it at night, before bed though as I was pretty greasy all night, eww. I got the standard lashes from Superdrug, as at the minute they have a 3 for £10 offer on so it was obviously a sign telling me to stock up 8). I got the individual lashes as well as my favourite going out strip lashes to wear for daytime. I have used these before I got my semi-permanent ones done and I really like them. Unfortunately after wearing semi-permanent for over a year, my eyes gave up on me and started reacting really badly so I had to sack that one off, and this is my alternative. I just threw the magazine & L'oreal youth serum samples in the picture as they were in with the rest of my shopping! See if they make me look any younger...hmm!

Hope you like my pieces!
Hope everyone is having a nice week, roll on Friday!
