Top - H&M // Skirt - Motel // Gladiator Sandles - Next // Bracelets - Various (old) // Rings - H&M

Hey Dolls, 

Ahh it's Monday again and it seems the weather in Manchester has gone back to its rainy ways -joy! I also recently died my hair super dark by accident (oops) last week and I'm still getting used to it! It feels so dark waaaah! Anyway, I thought I'd share with you an outfit I wore this weekend. I recently saw this skirt on Lulu Trixabelle's blog and thought it looked summery and appropriate for the little heat wave we have been having. I decided it was destined to be mine and headed over to the motel website and added it to my basket straight away. Surprisingly I haven't actually bought anything off the motel website before, but it certainly pulls out all the stops for you when buying for the first time. I had signed up a while ago and got £5 store credit for my first purchase (I think it's £10 now!) and then I got an extra 25% student discount along with free delivery making this £22 skirt about £13! Winning. 

I had bought a tiger printed sheer top from H&M in the sales and hadn't had chance to wear it yet so I popped it on and tied it into a crop. Then the outfit all seemed a bit 'jungly' soooo I added the gladiators and some tribal bracelets. Another recent purchase I added to the look was the H&M gold rings that come as a set of 4. I absolutely love them and I am definitely going to add the silver ones to my collection too. I love piling rings on my fingers, is this just me or anyone else? Oooh also I am looking to invest in a DSLR camera as I hate my images with my little old digital one so if anyone has any recommendations please throw them my way - it would be very much appreciated! 

Do you shop at Motel?

wednesday wishlist

Hey dolls,

It's nearly Friday YAY! Its late but my laptop decided to pack in last night when I was trying to put up this 'Wednesday Wants' post. Soo that's annoying as it's obviously not even Wednesday any more. The joys of technology ey. Either way its still my wish list and I still want it all regardless of what day of the week it is so here we go...

1. Pharaoh Bodycon Dress (Pretty Little Thing) - I absolutely love this Pharaoh print! Its a little bit different to your standard bodycon dress and is an absolute steal at £20. Ever since I went to Egypt this year I have been obsessed with everything Egyptian and this definitely fits the bill. Pretty Little Thing always have so much to offer, I fell in love with their website after attending the Pretty Little Thing blogger event and I can't get enough of their stuff!

2. Strap Back Slip Dress (Topshop) - This Topshop beaut was taken into the fitting room with me at the weekend. I LOVE the colour and I was so excited when I saw it! However, when I tried it on I liked it but didn't 'love' it, if you get what I mean? It doesn't really do wonders for my figure as I have quite big boobs and its one of them that just hangs off you. It was alright, yet I can't stop thinking about it now? What is wrong with me? I think I still want it!

3. 'Beware of the Plastics' Purple Baseball T-Shirt (The Pretty Junk) - This top has been a favourite of mine for a while. I am a bit of a hardcore Mean Girls fan so I am certainly feeling the reference of the slogan! I was lucky enough to win one of these tops in a twitter comp and it has become another website I have fallen in love with! They have loads of cool stuff and they stock some amazing brands like 'Spell Designs' and 'Lazy Oaf' to name a few.

4. Azami Ruched Split Maxi Skirt (Miss Guided) - If you haven't checked out the Miss Guided new 'basics' range I suggest you do now. So, so cheap and loads to choose from. I love basic items and I literally filled up my basket the other day and it wasn't even expensive AT ALL. I love a bit of side split so these skirts are right up my street! I already  own one in purple so I think this grey one is perfect for throwing on with a tee tucked in or a bodysuit!

5. Black Tassel Bag (H&M) - I am a massive sucker for tassel, especially when it comes round to Summer and I do love a tassel bag. I already have 3 in black and brown/tan but there's something about this one that just looks expensive and chic. I think this is perfect for the transition into A/W and I'm probably going to try and snap it up for £20!

6. Motel Kimmy Mini Tube Skirt in Green Palm Leaf (Motel) - So this one is a want but I sort of already bought it (oops), it is currently waiting for me at reception yay! I wanted this ever since I saw Lulu Trixabelle wearing the full combo on her blog. I initially wanted the matching top but I'm not sure it would suit me so I just went for the skirt and will pair it up with a black crop or something!

7. Giuseppe Zanotti Shoe Boots - Okay, I'm pretty sure I wont be getting these any time soon, but a girl can dream. With a hefty £800+ price tag these aren't the cheapest but just look how beautiful they are! Very Kim K and probably my favourite style of heel. I love a shoe boot!

Wireless

Outfit 1 // Top - Topshop // Skirt (actually a dress!) - Topshop // Lion Necklace - Ebay // Gladiators - Next

Outfit 2 // Top - Topshop // Rihanna Shorts - River Island // Hi-Tops - Footlocker 

Hey dolls, 

Sooo this is a bit late, but better late than never! A couple of weekends ago I went to Wireless festival for my 2nd year of festival fun. I absolutely loved it first time round, so I was quick to snap up tickets for this year when they came out! I saw that quite a few bloggers went to Wireless this year and lots of celebs (I didn't see any though :( boo!) so you have probably seen a few of these posts but I wanted to share with you my outfits that I wore over the weekend! I went down London for the Friday & Saturday and stayed with a friend who lived nearby which was pretty ideal. 

Wireless is definitely the festival for me based on the facts it has all the music/artists I love and it's not camping. Don't get me wrong if it was camping I would still go, but there is nothing better than a shower after a day of mud, sweat and dancing, not to mention the joys of a comfy bed. So it kinda works out pretty well for my preferences. The only down side to the event was the unbelievable heat that we endured all day! Now I'm not one to moan about the weather when it's hot but JESUS it was mad hot! I checked the temperature at one point and it was the same heat as what it was when I was in Egypt - positively melting! Besides that, I was loving life watching some of my fave people including Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Trey Songs (oh hello <3), Tinie Tempah, John Legend, Iggy Azalea, Miguel and Kendrick Lemar to name a few!

I had wisely opted to leave the Hunter wellies at home (although I saw some people wearing them, how? I do not know) and brought with me a few outfits to choose from for both days. On the first day I couldn't really make my mind up and ended up turning my Topshop cream dress in to a skirt - oh hey last minute DIY! I had picked up the black and animal print crop top in the Topshop sale and teamed them with my gladiators and gold lion chain from Ebay. 

For the second day I wore my new Rihanna for River Island shorts that I also picked up in the sale for £12 from £25 (total barg) and wore these with my trusty Topshop crop top and some Nike hi-tops. I also whacked on a good old floral head piece as I felt my outfit was a bit boring and voilà, my 2nd day outfit done :).

Did you go to Wireless this year? 
PS. Sorry for the quality of the pictures - it was an Iphone job! 

It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters

 Dress- Ebay // Hi-Tops - Footlocker // Chain - Ebay // Bag - Zara 

Hey Dolls, 

Yayyyy it's Friday! My favourite day of the working week AND its still sunny! What is this? What has happened to the UK? Either way I'm not complaining, gimmie more! 

Anyway I recently got this little beaut of a dress (pretty sure most people wear it as a top but whatevs) thanks to Charlotte at Lurchhound Loves who I spotted wearing on an instagram post and instantly fell in love. I love tie dye in the Summer and I seem to be immediately drawn to it whenever I'm shopping. I even got my own tie dying dyes to have a go myself, but haven't got round to using yet. I think I had previously seen this one on Pretty Little Thing, however, Charlotte mentioned she got hers off Ebay for cheaper so I jumped on that one and got searching! 

I managed to find one for just under £9 on Ebay which is a total bargain! 'Buy Now' was pressed immediately. Within about 2 days my dress arrived so it was super speedy delivery, which I love! Charlotte teamed hers with a skirt, which is probably more sensible than me just going all out with nothing else on, but at the moment I'm just finding the weather too hot so I'm opting for minimal, sorry guys. I wore mine with some baby pink socks, my fave Airforce1 high tops and a gold chain (also from Ebay - just type in 'gold chain', loads come up) and went for a bit of an urban look. I also had my white Zara baby hanging off my arm and I was sort of enjoying the pastel tie dye/white combo to be honest!

You can get the same dress/top, whatever you want to call it - HERE or HERE (the first one could be sold out now) but you can still get the same dress for just under a tenner - not bad huh?!      

Are you Ebay obsessed like me?

Dress - KJ Dressing Room* // Bag - Topshop // Shoes - Primark 

Hey dolls! 

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend! Mine was pretty busy but lots of fun all the same :) Now it's back to a week of work...owww! I wish I could be a lady of leisure whilst its this warm! 

Despite being back at work I received a lovely package from KJ Dressing Room last week and was absolutely over the moon with this gorgeous bodycon dress (might I add wrapped up in lovely gold tissue paper - I love good packaging). KJ Dressing Room are a brand new online fashion website that sell dresses, bags and accessories for both day and night occasions. The brand belongs to the lovely Jade Turner & Kate Thorne - who some of you might recognise if you are a Geordie Shore fan, as James' girlfriend, a very beautiful lady! After browsing the website I had already fallen in love with some of the dresses in the night wear section - I'm a sucker for a white dress and they have plenty to choose from! Not only do they have a gorgeous night wear selection for super reasonable prices (From around £20), last night they launched their brand new day wear range which is equally as lovely - lots of gorgeous midi and maxi dresses for Summer! I especially love the cream tie maxi dress, so if you are jetting off on holidays soon this would be perfect against a gorgeous holiday tan! 

The dress I have on is also something I would certainly be taking away with me, I think it would look lush with a tan and I felt like it was a really flattering fit. The fabric is quite tight so its good for holding you in whilst sculpting and smoothing your shape - yay! I absolutely love the pattern/design on the front of the dress which is why I decided to leave out any statement jewellery as I didn't want to take away attention from the detail. I teamed the dress with some black Kim K inspired heels that I managed to bag off a photo shoot from work ;) and a black 3D flower clutch from Topshop. I love a bodycon dress as I find they are ideal for both day to night wear as they are easily dressed up or down. Although I would probably wear this dressed up, I think it would look nice with some black gladiator sandals also! You can get my dress HERE and it retails for a very reasonable £31.99!

Dress - OMG Fashion*// Gladiator Sandles - Next // Necklace - Primark // Cuff - Topshop

Hey dolls, 

I can't believe how hot it still is! I wish I wasn't working so I could go out and enjoy it! I was in the car before and it was 31 degrees! Jheez, Manchester is HOT. I'm so glad it's the weekend so I can enjoy the sun instead of being stuck in a sauna at work. 

I was recently given the opportunity to choose a midi dress from OMG Fashion and as a lover of the midi style I jumped at the chance! I find midi dresses are perfect for every day with flats or converse, and then they can be easily dressed up for casual drinks with some wedges or heels. Perfecto. I also feel that they are good for days when its sort of warm but not warm enough for a mini dress, like a good balance of cover up! 

When browsing the midi dresses there were lots of options ranging from £10-£25 which is super cheap for a dress in my eyes! Yay for cheap midi dresses!! I went for an aztec pattern midi which is called the 'Mia Mint Foil Aztec Cap Midi Dress' as I think aztec is pretty Summer appropriate and I love the gold foil pattern on the dress too which is a nice touch to the dress than just a standard pattern. I teamed this with my gladiator sandals and some gold jewellery from Primark and Topshop to add to the gold detail on the dress. This is the sort of outfit I would wear at the weekend shopping or after work for drinks as its super comfy and not too dressed up. 

If midi dresses aren't your thing OMG Fashion have lots of cute pieces that are super cheap on their site too, I especially love some of the swim wear online, so make sure you have a look if you are going away anywhere nice soon! Saying that it's probably ideal for England at the moment in this heat! 

Have you shopped at OMG Fashion before?
