Hey Dolls,

 

Hope you are all having a good weekend! Mine is pretty boring to be honest although I am at home so I get to see the fam and get my hurrr did. I really want to do something different with it, but knowing me I will stick to my dark brown locks and get my bangs back in 8). I'm also taking my driving test soon so I'm getting in lessons at any opportunity! It's definitely a 50/50 on if I will pass though as I am so dizzy. Hmmm.

 

Anyway, I got this outfit literally within about 5 minutes walking into H&M by my work on my dinner break. I thought I would nip in for a 'quick look' which obviously resulted in me shopping. Inevitable. They have only recently built this by my work and I try to avoid it usually as I manage to get my purse out every time I go in.

I very nearly bought a coral silk vest in Mango before my holiday and I am now sooo glad I didn't as I picked this up for £4.99!!! Such a bargain and it will go with literally anything from day to nightwear. Winner. I then saw one of the staff dressing a mannequin in these beaut leopard print pants and I knew I needed them. They had just come in to that store so he very kindly grabbed my size from the delivery and next thing I know I'm at the till buying both items, with no dinner bought and 5 minutes to get back to work - idiot! The pants were only £14.99 though, another bargain in my eyes as they feel such a nice material as well. 

I also teamed it up with my new favourite bag that I very kindly received from Pretty Little Thing when I attended their amazing blogger event! I am a sucker for anything tassel when it comes round to Summer so this immediately caught my eye and I fell in love. You can get this gorgeous bag HERE and they have loads of other gorgeous bags/clutches in at the moment that you should definitely check out. PLUS they have 25% off this weekend! What more do you want?! GO,GO, GO!

 

I decided that the whole outfit was definitely to be teamed up with lots of gold so voila, here's me with my gold accessories.I think this is a cute outfit for day to night - maybe swapping the heels for flats for in the day though in my case as they are pretty high for my clumsiness!

STYLEetc Glamorous Girls Night Out Party

Hey Dolls,

So last week I was lucky enough to attend the 'STYLEetc Glamorous Girls Night Out Party' event which was amazing. It was such a lovely well planned night at one of my favourite venues - Sakura on Deansgate Locks. When I arrived I got a wristband as we were able to stay afterwards to one of my fave nights out in Manchester - Eivissa (yay!) and then headed downstairs to the VIP bar and downstairs bar/dance area.

The downstairs had been transformed into a showroom for previews of the current S/S range (which is gorgeous) and a sneak preview of the up and coming A/W range (equally amaze!). I couldn't wait to get stuck into the ranges and see what I would be adding to my never ending wish list! I grabbed myself a glass of champers from the VIP bar and was greeted by the lovely Leonie who was looking lush in a Glamorous playsuit! She took me through both collections and I instantly fell in love with so many items. There are some gorgeous jackets and coats for A/W- very Zara-esque but with a super reasonable price tag. I think my favourite piece had to be a PU top with contrasting sleeves, I love it.
I was also instantly drawn to the S/S collection with all the bright neon colours and patterns. Honestly, if you are going to Ibiza or some sort of festival this year, I suggest you check this lot out. My fave pieces are definitely the bright neon print leotards and the white tee's with neon detail down the sides, perfect for wearing with some slouchy pants and heels!

I then went to mingle in the VIP bar/lounge where I got to see my lovely fave Manchester bloggers - Lily, Charlotte and Laura. Glamorous had added a little celeb to their guest list and Tulisa, Chelsee Healey and Platnum were around the VIP area enjoying the event too! There was lots of gorgeous sushi platters being handed out by the lovely bar staff at Sakura which looked super yummy (I had already eaten so I didn't indulge!).Not only all of this there were also 3 make over bars where you could go to get your make-up, nails or hair done (or all of them!) which sums up the 'Girls Night Out' event name! I ended up getting my hair done by Sam and she did an AMAZING job! I love big bouncy hair and she did just that! I will certainly be going to the salon on Deansgate to the blow dry bar to get my hair done again ;).

By this time it was 10pm and even though I would have loved to stay on after the event and enjoy Eivissa I was super tired and had work in the morning so I decided to be sensible and head home. Believe me, I have done and Eivissa/Work the next day combo before and its not the best ha. I had such a lovely time though and left with a super amazing goody bag filled with treats and a jumper from Glamorous! How generous! You can also see a write up and pics from the event over at STYLEetc HERE.

Also I have added the Rihanna image at the bottom from the Glamorous Twitter/Facebook page - how lush is this outfit!? Think I need it! You can check out Glamorous HERE if you haven't already!

Lakers | Re:Store

Lakers Vest - RE:Store // Levis shorts - Vintage // Gold chain - Ebay // Jordan Spizikes - Footlocker

Hey dolls!

Hope everyone is having a good week! I just wanted to share with you a lush new brand I have been lusting over the past few weeks.I came across this brand via Facebook and I thought it was an amazing concept with clothes that were right up my street. RE:Store is an "Online fashion retailer specialising in; high quality one-off vintage remade garments and limited edition T-shirts for urban ladies and gents. "RE:defining the original..."
I think customising vintage clothing with an urban edge is definitely a niche that I most certainly would buy into - who doesn't want unique pieces of clothing!?

When I noticed they had some vintage lakers vests I immediately snapped one up as I know it's something I would get a lot of wear out of and I was already picturing wearing it with my vintage Levi's some gold jewellery and some form of sneaks! Also how cool are the swing tickets? Love it. For a custom made vest at £18 it's super reasonable too which is what you want when you are a high street gyal like me!

You can follow RE:Store HERE on Facebook. They are always posting lots of new cute pieces for the S/S collection which are snapped up quick so don't miss out ;). They recently have posted a lot of menswear items recently which would be a perfect present for a Boyf/brother/friend! I'd be tempted to wear them myself though too!I have also just got some new Jordan's in grey and pink (as you can see) which I LOVE, oooh I'm turning into such a sneak freak.

Have you heard of RE:Store ? 

Summer Vibes

Celine Tee - Ebay // Necklaces - Topshop // Aztec Skirt - Fashion Union* // Converse - Footlocker // Watch - Michael Kors

Hey dolls, 

Hope everyone had a lush bank holiday weekend! How nice was the sun yesterday (and today!) ?! Ideal times. I managed to enjoy the sun yesterday which was so nice as I am still feeling pretty sad that I had to leave Egypt last week! It has now prompted me to clear out my wardrobe and make way for all Summer attire - YAY.

I was very lucky to be able to pick out a few pieces from the Fashion Union S/S collection, which is where I found this very beaut aztec midi skirt. In my eyes this is a staple wardrobe item for Summer, period. I love a bit of aztec, especially with some tan and I think a midi is perfect for all weather possibilities. By this I mean I can wear this dress even when it's not boiling hot (rare occasions in the UK) and still look super summery. Unfortunately this little gem doesn't seem to be in stock however I am lusting after this gorgeous tie dye maxi skirt HERE. If you haven't already checked out Fashion Union, you definitely should. They have lots of gorgeous Summer stuff that you can get for such reasonable prices! 

I have teamed my midi with a Celine top I recently got off Ebay which I tied at the back to make a crop top. I have wanted one of these tops for a while since the massive craze amongst all fashion blogs kicked in and now I finally own one as well :). If you are wanting one too, you can get my top HERE. I teamed my outfit with some Converse as I decided to wear this through the day but I would absolutely wear all this out for drinks by swapping the Converse for wedges. 

Have you bought anything recently from Fashion Union? Do you love the aztec print too?

 

Ps. If you have a moment, I would be very grateful if you could vote for me in the Cosmopolitan Awards for 'best new fashion blog' HERE :) xoxo

Hey dolls,

I just wanted to share with you a new item I received after winning a Twitter give away (YAYY)!! I was TOO excited to win this cute little top from The Pretty Junk, as after recently finding this gem of a shop, I have been lusting after quite a few pieces which are slowly filling up my current wardrobe wish list!

If you hadn't heard of The Pretty Junk already, they are an amazing online store selling everything from vintage to slogan tees/tops to some of my favourite branded clothing like Lazy Oaf and Spell designs. I particularly love the slogan tops similar to the one I won and I am definitely going to be purchasing the 'beware of the plastics' top (hardcore Mean Girls/Barbie fan)! You can find their website HERE.I think this top can be teamed with pretty much anything and is perfect for everyday! Winner. 


I hope everyone is having a fun weekend and is making the most of the bank holiday ! Just need some sun now eh?! Also, if you could take a moment to vote for me in the Cosmopolitan Awards for 'Best New Fashion Blog' I would be very grateful :) it's a bit of a long shot but hey ho, god loves a trier! If you get chance you can vote HERE. Thank you *mwah* 

Have you bought anything from The Pretty Junk? Do you love it too? 

Think Like a Boss

 Blazer - The Kooples // Dress - Fashion Union* // Bag - H&M // Biker Boots - Zara

Hey dolls!

Hope all is well. I am back from Egypt and I have serious holiday blues :( :( :( I desperately need to get away again soon, I hate this weather.Since arriving back I have neglected any form of clothing that doesn't represent Summer as I feel that I need to show off my Egyptian tan, ha. So I have been strolling around in summer clothes regardless of how cold it is. 

I recently was lucky enough to choose this super cute LBD off Fashion Union. This is a fab website I have recently discovered with lots of amazing Summer pieces to offer with the high street price tag. Perfect for girls like me on a budget! I love all the festival clothes that seem to have kicked off since the Coachella craze, which will be right up my street for when I go to various festivals this year - YAY. If you haven't already checked out Fashion Union, you can HERE.

I can't find this exact dress on the Fashion Union website, however they have a similar pinafore dress which I think will look super cute this summer. You can find it HERE, plus its only £20! Bargain or what. 

I have also recently been wearing my new biker boots from Zara that my mum kindly got me when she last visited Manchester. I absolutely love them but I'm not going to lie, although they look pretty they are not the comfiest. My poor feet have took a bit of a battering with these - ouch, I hope they are properly worn in soon as I really want to wear them all the time!

Do you shop at Fashion Union? Have you got any holidays/festivals booked?
