New In: Missguided Pieces

Hello Readers,

I've been on a spending ban recently and managed to go almost four months without treating myself to anything. Which is pretty amazing by my standards, especially as I find that reading a lot of blogs / watching a lot of beauty and fashion content on Youtube really does sway me into buying things that I probably could have lived without. After going so long without picking any bits up I finally decided it was time to reward myself as we all deserve the odd treat every now and again! It just so happened to be around the time that Missguided sent an email out promoting 30% off of selected items. I had a night out coming up so quickly took the chance to snap up a new outfit at a discounted price. 

 Gilina Wrapover Floral Playsuit - £24.99

This was the playsuit I picked up for my night out - now admittedly it's not something I ever thought I'd like as typically when I go on nights out I either wear black, white or red. I don't think I've ever gone out in something so loud yet there was something that really drew me to this. I really love the dark, romantic feel to this playsuit. It looks lovely with a little black belt to cinch in the waist and some chunky black heels to add some height. I wore my MAC Rebel lipstick with this and honestly, it's like a match made in heaven. Perfect combination of colours! I managed to get this for £19.45 all together including delivery thanks to the discount code.

Mintare Crop Top with Spaghetti Straps - £9.99

 I didn't intend to order any other items from Missguided until 12 days later - when Missguided sent me another email offering a discount code. This time they were doing a secret 24 hour discount for those who are signed up to their email list (seriously it's worth doing, they offer a lot of discounts!) In this email they gave you a code which when used at checkout would either be worth 10%, 15% or 20% so I decided to check mine and what do you know?! It happened to be worth 20% so I just had to pick some stuff up! First up I got this Mintare Crop Top with Spaghetti Straps in black. I've been looking at getting this little top for so long and finally decided to get it. It's a great little basic which fits me so well. I definitely think I'm going to pick up a few more - some printed ones would be great! 

Tori Split Zipped Lace Detail Shorts - £19.99

The final thing I picked up is this pair of Lace trim Shorts. Again, this isn't something I'd typically go for but I found myself really drawn to them. They're very easy to style and could easily go from day to night so I hope to get lots of use out of them! Look out for these being featured in an outfit post very soon. 

That's all for this small haul. I know it isn't much but I just thought I'd show you the new pieces that I've just added to my wardrobe. If you haven't had a look at Missguided before then I highly recommend checking them out. They have a fantastic range of clothes, shoes, accessories etc and all of it is very reasonably priced. It's probably my favourite place to shop now! Also, they've recently been giving out free Kinder Buenos with each order which is a nice little bonus! Free chocolate and discounted clothes *Heavenly*

That's all for this post! I hope you're all well.

Hello My Lovelies!

 

I'm here today with an outfit of the day post for you. Surprisingly we are currently in a heat wave here in England, so I'm still pulling out my summer clothes. I've even struggled trying to keep up with this nice weather, it seems I don't have as many summer clothes as I first thought! Despite it being Summer I couldn't help myself but throw on a black bowler hat and a dark vampy lip. The hat is becoming a staple in my wardrobe now as it means I can be really lazy with my hair and embrace my natural waves. Infact, I haven't used heat to style my hair in days, maybe even longer. I just leave it to dry and shove a hat on, job done!

 

Today it is super hot and I've been feeling really lazy so I just threw on this oversized, floaty vest from All Saints. It has a dipped hem at the back and a beautiful faded black Aztec print. It's the perfect sort of vest to wear on a day like this as it's so lightweight and baggy. I bought this on a shopping trip in London 2 years ago so I don't think it's available anymore. However, All Saints stock doesn't change too much from year to year so there's bound to be something similar in store. As this is a top, I paired it with a little pair of light wash denim shorts from Topshop. This protects my modesty (haha) yet creates the illusion that I'm wearing a edgy dress. I slipped on my favourite brown sandals and my staple black bowler hat and that's it!

Denim Cut Off Shorts - Topshop

Black Bowler Hat - Amazon

 

That's it for todays post, I hope you enjoyed.

I'm off to try and sunbathe in the garden!

Hope you're all well.

Hello Everyone!

Today's post as you can see from the title, is an outfit of the day post. It's really lovely here today in England. The sun is out and there's actually some heat in it for a change! It's so lovely and warm so I thought I'd make the most of it and get my milk bottles out, in the hope that they'll catch a bit of colour! I don't bother with any of that fake tan business so I just rely on the sun to give me a bit of colour. As today has been nice it's finally given me the chance to wear this black skull cut out vest that I purchased from Missguided back in February, it's never really been the right weather for it but today has finally allowed me to cut the tags off and wear it! I think I'm going to purchase one of those sticky backless bra's next time I wear this so you can see the full extent of the skull face without the back of a bra ruining it.

Oh and I don't know if any of you have noticed but I'm also wearing my black sunglasses that I got with the July issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine which I showed in my mini haul a few posts back. I actually quite like them. I don't own any plain black sunglasses, normally the ones I buy all have a purple / pink tint to them so these are different to what I'd usually go for but I quite like them.
