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?

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

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!

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

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?

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!

White x Snake

River Island White Outfit
  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?

The Work Out Plan


Nike Sports Bra* - JD Sports// Nike Epic Tights* - JD Sports// Nike Free Run 5.0* - Millets
 
I'm back! I haven't blogged for soo long and I'm super excited to get back into the swing of things. I was very lucky to get a snazzy new camera for Christmas meaning I can take some good quality pictures and not get annoyed every time I used my old camera when things came out rubbish! I think most bloggers can agree that having a good quality camera does make a world of difference to your blogs appearance, it's just super pricey *sigh* 

That aside, it's time to get back into a lot of of other things to...including the gym! When it comes to the gym, for me it's definitely a love/hate relationship. I love feeling fit and healthy after I've put in hard work at the gym, who doesn't? It's the slippery slope of the run up to Christmas that sets me off track, where I find myself swerving any sort of gym class/session because 1. It's too cold 2. I've just finished a stressful day at work and I'm tired 3. I just want to watch Elf and eat as much chocolate as I can. I don't totally hate my body by all means, but I am no where near in a shape I'd like to be at the moment and I need a tone up as I am going on holiday in less than a month (aghh)!

Helping me drag my lazy ass to the gym is always going to be a gym outfit that I am going to feel comfortable working out in. I like wearing black for the gym as its flattering and helps avoid any embarrassing sweat marks (eww). I was very lucky to receive some beaut gym wear from JD Sports and Millets that has definitely pushed me to go a few more times this week! All the gear, no idea springs to mind... 

I love a a simple look for the gym and the Nike Sports Bra and Nike Leggings are perfect for a classic monochrome look. Both bra and leggings are constructed from a sweat-wicking, Dri-FIT fabric to help keep you dry and comfortable when you are putting in work! The leggings are also super handy, featuring a small zip fastening on the back for keys, money etc. and an inner cord to adjust the waist band to your preference. I would definitely wear a top over the bra for the gym but I wanted to be able to show you the bra in more detail in the images. 

Personally I don't think you can go wrong with Nike when it comes to work out gear, which is why I also chose the well known Free Run 5.0 trainers to complete the look. In a classic black and white colourway, these trainers are my absolute favourites for the gym/running. They are SO comfy and make your feet feel like they are walking around in slippers - what's not to love?! They are perfect for those who want a lightweight and breathable shoe with maximum flexibility.

The Nike Sports Bra and Leggings can be found over on JD Sports and the Free Run 5.0's can be found over on the Millets website (I've linked all items under the images). I had never really looked on the Millets website before, but if you are after high quality work out gear for super affordable prices - you definitely need to check them out! 

Hopefully I will keep up the hard work at the gym running up to my Thailand travels and feel at least a little bit healthier by the time I take to the beach!
Is anyone else on a work out plan?
