Racer Crop - Miss Selfridge // Embellished Shorts - Miss Selfridge // Gladiators - Next (old) // Rings - Topshop //Necklace - Primark
Hey!
How nice is the sun right now? I am very impressed with the English weather this week, especially as it rains allllll the time in Manchester (like abnormally). It's making me feel super summery and makes getting up every morning so much easier, not to mention picking out nice sun appropriate outfits each day. The only down side is being stuck in work whilst it's boiling, so I hope it holds out for the weekend too! Although I moan about being in work, I have actually just got a new job that I have been super excited about and I'm enjoying meeting lots of lovely new workies and having a bit of a change :) which is not always a bad thing.
Any way, rambling on over - I recently got a few things from Miss Selfridge that I put together to wear through the day or on holiday/festivals. I think embellished shorts look amazing on a night out but I think dressed down they can look pretty cute too. These ones I picked up in the sale so they are an absolute bargain down from the original price. If you don't know already, I always find Miss Selfridge has lots to offer when it comes down to beads and embellishment. I decided to wear this with a crop top that I have already worn loads of times now as its such a staple item for me. I love a crop top and I really like this racer style, so I got them in a couple of colours as I know I will get lots of wear out of them.
If you haven't noticed already, Primark have had some amazing jewellery these past few months and I have loved finding some absolute gems in there. One being this silver piece that I completely fell in love with. I don't usually wear that much silver jewellery, but this one I had to have! There are lots of gorgeous summer styles so make sure you have a look if you are passing by!
I hope everyone has a lovelyyyy weekend :)
Bralet & Pants - Miss Guided // Shoes - Zara // Bodychain - eBay // Bindi - Duty Free Shop // Rings - Topshop
Hey dolls,
So I thought I would share with you an outfit that I bought from Miss Guided not so long ago to wear for my birthday. I have an obsession with the Miss Guided bralets at the moment as I think they are perf for holidays and festivals - especially when it's super hot! I love them teamed with something high waisted like some cute denim levis' or some high waist flares. I bought this bralet in white and black as I figured these would go with most outfits. However, there are loads of gorgeous pastel colours to choose from too.
I bought the pants as I wanted to go for a nude look to match my beloved Zara heels! I love how comfy these pants are and they look lovely with. a little crop top. You can get the bralet HERE and Unfortunately I couldn’t find the pants that I
am wearing, but I have found a really
similar pair that are just as nice HERE. Not to mention that Miss Guided have an amazing 50% sale on at the moment that you have to check out - so many bargains!
Have you checked out the Miss Guided Sale yet?
Dress/Vest - Zara // AirForce 1 Low-Tops - Footlocker // Rings - Topshop
Hey dolls,
So it's been a while! I have had a busy few weeks with it being my birthday and also getting a new job :) new starts and all that jazz. June has been a good month and I can't believe it's July already! I'm heading to Wireless festival on Friday for the weekend and I am SO excited! I go every year and I always have too much fun!
I recently had a little look in the Zara sale - if you have read my posts before you will know that I HATE going through sale (I don't know if it's the longgg years of working in a retail store and wanting to genuinely kill anyone that throws everything on the floor, or the general ball ache of just trowelling through loads of crap.) However, I managed to walk in Zara on the first day of the sale on a whim so it wasn't too bad. I picked up everything white as per usual and also found my dress that I bought a few weeks ago with £20 off (sake) along with this little number. It's a super nice soft fabric and perfect for just everyday wear whilst it's pretty warm. It's quite sports luxe so I teamed it with my brand new AirForce 1 low-tops that I love, a lot. I also ended up in Topshop sale and headed straight over to the jewellery section as this is always full of gems (literally) I managed to get an all white (shock) choker and all white/gold rings and midi rings for about £6 - how could I resist?
Have you been in the sales?
Dress - Zara // Hoops - Topshop
Hey dolls,
Just a quick one, but I wanted to share with you this beaaaautiful dress I picked up from Zara before my holidays. I totally wasn't meant to be buying anything and talked myself out of it about 5 times, but it was just to pretty to leave behind!
I am a sucker for a white/cream dress and when I saw this in the Manchester store I grabbed my size and took it to the changing rooms where the love affair began ;). They also have it in black which is super nice as well - but I thought white would look nice with a tan and tan accessories.
I wore this on holiday with a tan belt and gladiators but completely forgot to take picture (I'm so rubbish at taking holiday pics) but as the dress is so simple, its really easy to dress up with a statement gold/silver necklace or keep it minimal with some gold hoops like I have. I love the back strap detail and the boho-esque look for holidays so if you are looking for a pretty maxi dress, this one is perf! The only issue I had was that I cant wear a bra with it and its a little see-though (eeep!) but there is so many bra/boob diy kits now I had come fully prepared!
Have you been holiday shopping in Zara? It's all too nice!
Two Piece - Soul Junkie // Gladiators - Primark // Hoops - Topshop
Hey dolls!
So I've just got back from an amazing holiday in Portugal and I've definitely got a bad case of the holiday blues! I'm already trying to find another one! It was so nice to just chill out for a week and not have to think about work or all the other sh!t you have to deal with every day. I also went to a wedding whilst I was there which was beautiful - perfect weather and setting at the Hilton hotel in Vilamoura - I would have been made up if it was mine! I obviously bought loads to wear before I went and as usual, never got chance to wear everything :(
I didn't get chance to wear this gorgeous two piece whilst I was away but it is definitely a perfect holiday outfit and would look amazing in Ibiza or the Caribbean - well anywhere hot to be honest! I found Soul Junkie through bloggers and social media and I fell in love with all of Vanessa's (creator & designer) stunning, one of a kind designs. It's the perfect mix of gypsy meets bohemian which is right up my street. I love the fact that there is only a few of each design available making your piece extra special at an affordable price. There is nothing worse than heading on holiday and everyone's wearing the same Topshop dress, right?!
Vanessa creates a range of two pieces and kimono/cover ups, which are equally as gorgeous. I have definitely jumped on the co-ord craze so my first purchase was obviously one of these. There is also now a 'Boho Baby' section available which is just TOO CUTE!!
I have my eye on so many others so I better get on to my favourite's quick before they all get snapped up! The one I am wearing is called 'Night Becomes Day' and there are still some available. You can get one of these HERE for £35.00 - bargain.
Have you bought a Soul Junkie piece before?

Hey dolls!
So since I've been getting ready to head for some well needed sun, I have obviously been spending money I certainly don't have on anything and everything that screams summer. Not only have I been making weekly visits to the likes of Zara & H&M (my absolute fave high street shops) I have been scouring on line for cute pieces I can jam into my over flowing suit case.
I find that Instagram is perfect for finding new and up and coming brands that offer you something a bit different to the high street. I have found loads of brands through the likes of Instagram and Twitter and bought myself more than a few key pieces for summer. All of which are super cute and different to anything I would buy from the likes of Zara or Topshop.
I recently came across a shoe dream when I saw the beaut Sarah Ashcroft from 'That Pommie Girl' wearing a pair of the pink 'Callie' platforms (seriously dreamy) from new brand Public Desire. Like most girls, as soon as we get a sniff of Spring/Summer it's pastel central when it comes to re-stocking the wardrobe and these are a perfect addition! I then started following Public Desire on Instagram where I fell more and more in love with their new range of pretty shoes and mentally teaming them up with summer outfits in my wardrobe. I've picked out my four current faves that I'm lusting over right now (especially those Kelis platforms!) as seen above. The Kelis and Tasha's are perfect for pairing with a cute co-ord for a girls night out and the Lailah & Neive are pairs that I would wear through the day or on holiday - comfy and chic all wrapped into one!
There are loads more styles to choose from over at My1stWish and with super affordable prices along with a crazy cheap delivery service, you really can't go wrong! If you don't already follow them on Instagram you can do HERE. This is the best way to see all their new and up and coming stock... it really is shoe heaven!
Have you bought a pair of Public Desire's before? They are to die!
