Bodycon midi...

So my latest purchase was something completely out of my comfort zone! I purchased this bodycon midi dress from Topshop for £30. It is a style I wouldn't usually have gone for, as I like to pick out loose fitting, feminine style dresses as they are more flattering towards my curvy figure. I saw this dress online and fell in love with the print and thought why not? I was a little apprehensive as it is very fitted but with the help of some bridget jones knickers (sshhh our secret) I felt fantastic in this style of dress! It has such a classy, feminine look but with an edge because of the cool print. I have seen that Topshop have this dress in a selection of colours and prints also which is very exciting! I can't wait to crack this dress out lots more over the next couple of months. xx

Attention!

A trend I have noticed to be growing and growing is this cool and fierce military style trend that is swarming the high street and online stores. I love how something so uniform and masculine has been given a feminine edge to create some real cool and edgy pieces. Here are some of my favourite garments that I have come across when browsing online. The use of glitter and studs is a massive love of mine - I think it is a great contrast with the khaki colour palette! I will definitely be shopping around for a military style classic when it comes to payday! I don't think this trend will be disappearing anytime soon!

I WANT ONE!

I cannot deny that the new Chanel Hula Hoop bag instantly caught my eye! This new design for spring/summer 13 was the talk of the runway, intended for beach wear it is definitely different from ANYTHING we have seen before and I completely love it! I wonder how many celebs will be seen strolling along the beach with one of these next summer? Hats of to Karl Lagerfeld, combining fashion and practicality... that's not something you see everyday!

More shopping...

Hi bloggers! I'm back on the scene! I haven't been blogging very regularly at all because I'm back at uni and have been EXTREMELY busy. But I have a free evening so thought I'd do a few posts updating you on my latest favourite buys! 

I have been so naughty lately with the spending! But having all this uni work on, I feel I deserve a treat now and then...Well maybe one treat to many in this case!

Here's what I've been spending all of my money on...

 Metallic wrap dress - Topshop (oh my love)

 Black, lace high neck, bodycon dress - Topshop

 My new favourite thing in the world! Gorgeous winter coat - Miss Selfridge

 Instinct spur of the moment buy at the weekend! Sequin top - Miss Selfridge

 Gorgeous (very high) wedges - Miss Selfridge

 Contrast, bandage skater dress - Missguided

My new love, wear it with EVERYTHING - statement necklace - Topshop

Glitter Obsessed!

 I don't no about you, but I am partial to a little (or a lot) of glitter! Which is why I was superrrrr excited to try the new 'pinch punch' extra glittery nail varnish from the Louise Gray make-up line for Topshop. I was looking for a vibrant glittery varnish to cover up the imperfections I have on my nails as I've just taken my acrylic nails off and they have left my nails in an awful condition. This nail varnish did the trick completely! Just 2 coats of this and my nails looked cute, sparkley and covered up the damage! For £6.50 I was very impressed and will definitely continue to use this in the future! x

20th Birthday!

Anybody who knows me knows that my birthday is absolutely my favourite day of the year! I get so excited and always want everything to be absolutely perfect! This year didn't fail me and I stept out of my teens in style with some of my favourite people. I thought I would post a little piece showing off what I wore and my new PRESENTSSSSS! 

 Here is me in my little black (£8.50) Newlook dress! I am so in love with it! My new sequined clutch (miss selfridge)  and black suede heels (Newlook) See last blog post for the details.

August Purchases...

Recently since starting my new job at Newlook, I have been finding it seriously difficult to resist my 50% discount. Every shift I am secretly browsing for what I'm going to buy next! 

On my last wishlist post I added several statement necklaces, these are so on trend right now and can completely finish an outfit perfectly. They can make a mediocre styled outfit stand out. This is one I chose from Newlook and with my discount only cost me around £3. I love it! In the image below I wore it with a simple scalloped top and jeans and it gave such a simple outfit so much more edge! 

I've also been trying to hunt down an animal print maxi dress for some time. I wanted one for my holiday to Majorca for travelling in because they look amazing but are so comfy at the same time. I saw this one in newlook and fell in love! The fabric is so soft - perfect for my travels! And it was only £10 with discount. Even at the full price of £20 it would have been a bargain. 

I have ALWAYS bought my heels from Newlook. They have so much choice and are great value for money. My last pair of black heels I probably wore a hundred times and they lasted me ages! I thought I'd treat myself to a new pair of suede ones at only £15 how could I resist! They are the comfiest shoes also for ones so high. I would reccomend Newlook shoes to everyone!

August is my birthday month (yayyy) I wanted to find the perfect dress. I went to the trafford centre and found NOTHING! I was so dissapointed in Topshop and Miss Selfridge which are my usual favourites! Luckily I had bought the dress below from newlook for £8.50!!! I instantly fell in the love with the dainty style and the criss cross detail down the middle. This is the dress I ended up wearing for my birthday night out! The style was so flattering and I got lots of complements! So it just shows you don't always need to spend mega ammounts of money to find the perfect dress.

Obviously the dress is very simple and classic so I wanted to find accessories that were more over the top, to add a bit more sparkle to the outfit. I bought this clutch bag from Miss Selfridge, they had sent me a £5 voucher for my birthday so I got this for £25 which is a little pricey but seeing as I'd spent so little on the dress I allowed a little more for the accessories. I love this clutch so much, sequins are one of my favourite things ever! 

 Lastly, steering away from clothing... I had a few spare minutes before work the other week so went for a browse in body shop. This body butter is normally £12 but was on offer for half price. I smelt this one and couldn't resist! I've been using it every day for 2 weeks now and my skin feels amazing and refreshed. I would definitely reccomend this! I think it is still on offer too!
