Missguided Picks

All - Missguided
So it's slowly drawing closer to payday and I'm pretty sure I have nearly mentally spent all my money before it's even reached my account... what's new?!  I'm heading away to Thailand next weekend and I couldn't be more excited, however I should be trying to save every penny and not looking at pretty clothes on line - but I need something to wear when I get back, right? As per usual, Missguided always has me hooked on their 'New In' page and I'm constantly scouring it daily to see what's just landed. I'm totally loving minimal pieces at the moment, as you can probably see from my picks. You really can't go wrong with simplistic cuts and styles which are perfect for dressing up or down, depending on the occasion. 
I'm thinking of getting this Slinky High Neck Maxi Dress before I go away, because not only does it have the most beautiful cross-over strap back, I always find a high neck front is super flattering and the side split adds a subtle sexy twist. I'm thinking perfect for roof top bars in Bangkok!
If you follow me on Instagram, you will probably realise that Kim Kardashian is my bae and I'm forever clicking on to her social media to drool over her latest outfits because I feel she always gets it on point. I would absolutely love to spend a day in her wardrobe trying on all her gorgeous stuff! Missguided have brought out these beautiful Longline Jersey Midi Skirts that are a Kimmy K dream and come in camel, grey, white and black. I think these are fab for S/S and will go with a ton of stuff making them a beaut wardrobe staple. I definitely need these in every colour! 
I follow blogger 'The Haute Pursuit' and fell in love with her gorgeous tie waist marl grey skirts (that she wears so well with Calvin's!). So I was super excited to see that MG had come up with something similar and in a dress form. I think the High Neck Tie Waist Midi Bodycon Dress is a great day to night dress and something I would wear for after work drinks or a day out shopping with the girls. 
Yet again, I'm lusting after another Kim Kardashian-esque piece. This gorgeous Ribbed Roll Neck Long Sleeve Bodycon Dress is not only super sexy and perfect for date night, it's only £25, which is a total bargain. I'm totally obsessed with everything camel/nude at the moment, so this is definitely high priority on my list! 
At the start of the year I am always on the lookout for minimal staple items that I can wear on and off throughout the year and won't go out of fashion. With MG being so affordable, it's great for picking up loads of simple pieces that you can throw on with something a bit more edgier. I love these two body suits - Long Sleeve Wrap Over Plunge Bodysuit  & Long Sleeve Turtle Neck Bodysuit  that will look great with a pair of high-waisted jeans or a flattering fitted midi skirt. 
Last but certainly not least, I always get a little bit excited when I see that MG have a new shoe collection out. All the styles are super on trend so pretty much every shoe makes it on to my wish list because it's too hard to choose! I am especially loving these white Peep Toe Heeled Mesh Boots (which also come in black) and the black Ankle Cuff Peep Toe Heels which I think are a perfect all year round shoe.

Hey Dolls,

Hope everyone has had a lush weekend! I have been seeing a fair amount of hungover status's today so I'm guessing yes haha. I have had a fairly sober weekend and went to see about my new part time job last night at Manchester night club Bijou. I'm fairly skint at the moment so the extra cash will be very much appreciated! I also was very happy to be reunited with my fave MAC lippie that I got through so quick (please me) and I got to bag myself a free one with the empty product swap, yayy! This weekend - so far so good!

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, beauty, fashion & lifestyle blogger Carly, posted a dress from American Apparel via Twitter and I fell in love with this perfect Summer/holiday dress. I soon forgot about it though, that was until I was having a browse round town after work one night and ended up in American Apparel window shopping, well apparently. I saw that they had the dress in stock and couldn't resist a little try on. As soon as I put it on I fell into Summer wardrobe mode and I immediately thought I need this dress. I think it is fab for holidays and summer and can be dressed up or down. Me being me ended up buying this dress in yellow AND red, as I just couldn't decide but now I have decided I need it in white too. However, I am going to try a DIY for a white one as this is a basic dress and I think £32 is quite expensive to be blowing on three dresses all the same ha. Especially if I am moaning about being skint 8) This dress is available in TEN colours so there are lots of lush ones to choose from. I have photographed how I would wear this dress for through the day to night, I also think this dress would look fab with a body chain worn back to front so the detail is on the back. You can get this dress HERE and also on ASOS, but I don't think they have the full colour range on ASOS for some reason.

Have you bought anything from AA recently? Have you started impulse buying your Summer wardrobes yet?
