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!

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.

cute AF

T-Shirt - Boohoo // Jeans - H&M // Shoes - Public Desire
How cute is this T-shirt though?! Cute AF (sorry). I'm seriously lacking in plain t-shirts so when I saw this one I knew the I needed it in my life. I think I've only bought something from Boohoo once before so I was a bit unsure what the quality etc. was going to be like considering it was so reasonable in price. I'm pleased to say it was just what I wanted and the fabric is pretty thick, so no see through dramas, yay! I've tried to search this online now, however it seems to be out of stock :( hopefully it will be back on soon!
Seeing as everyone has gone khaki obsessed this season (including myself), I decided I needed some khaki jeans in my life for everyday wear. I hadn't seen any that I liked or were the fit I was after until I came across these in H&M. They are a mid rise jean with cute zip detailing on the pockets and are SUPER comfy. Basically the dream jeans. I can't find these online but they are £14.99 in store. Bargain or what. 
I'm also still pretty content with these Public Desire 'Satine' heels, which I have mentioned before are in the sale now so if you're after some white cage heels snap them up quick! 
Hope everyone's Sunday is as lazy as mine zZzZzZ!

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!

Khaki

 Dress & Shoes - Missguided  

 Lately I've been loving all things nude/khaki and I love these safari-esque shades for summer. When I first got this dress off Missguided, I was kinda hopin' for the camel one but it had unfortuately sold out *sob* so I went for my next choice. I thought this khaki shade would go perfect with my new snake print gladiator heels and could also be dressed down for through the day with gladiator flats and a cute kimono. 

I was actually pretty impressed with how good the quality was of this bodycon dress. It's pretty thick, meaning the stretchy fabric won't show the world what pants you're wearing underneath (cringe!). I think this dress is perfect for day to night and I can't wait to wear out on my next date night! If khaki isn't your thang, you can get this dress in a few different colours, and I think the camel is back in stock! You can get this in white, mauve, black and camel.

I feel like I need to stop buying so much from Missguided, but it's all too pretty and I'm like a kid in a candy shop! Have you been loving MG lately?

White x Snake

  Top & Skirt - River Island // Shoes - Missguided

As soon as summer comes around I get totally and utterly obsessed with all white errythaaang. I mean, who doesn't love looking that bit more tanned with some white garms.... non? 

So on a recent 'after-work' around the shops mooch (always dangerous after a long day), I fell in love with this pretty white skirt and top whilst browsing around River Island. I love simple/minimalistic clothes that can be dressed up or down and go with pretty much anything, so I decided these would be a strong wardrobe addition as we creep into summer. The top is super flattering and a thick jersey fabric, which makes this great quality and saves the embarrassment of the world seeing your bra through a white top. I picked up the skirt to try on for something to go with the top, but soon fell in love with this too and decided to get them both. You really can't go wrong with a white pleather mini skirt right?! 

Then to finish things off I had, yet again been browsing Missguided for some new feet treats and came across these gladiator/snake heels that are perfect for summer and not too high, so perfect for day to night. I love a gladiator style heel and these are surprisingly comfortable too and go with so much. There are always tons of discount codes and deals with Missguided so it would be rude not to when you can get shoes like these for total bargz!

Have you started summer shopping yet?
