THINGS I'M LOVING ON BOOHOO RIGHT NOW

Hello everyone! So for today's instalment i thought i would share with you some clothing, accessories and beauty pieces that i am loving on Boohoo currently. Last month i shared a similar post with you all, but with the things i'm loving on prettylittlething right now which you can catch up on here if you didn't catch it previously...

1. boohoo megan lace trim cami vest | £8 |

One of the main styles of clothing that i always have in my wardrobe is basics, because honestly you can never have too many as they pretty much go with anything and everything. The thing i love about this particular basic on Boohoo right now is how it is a basic but it has this beautiful lace detailing which just adds something a little different. (Also is available in white).

 2. boohoo tess suedette circle eyelet boyfriend belt | £8 |

I still really like the whole Gucci belt dupe style and i also really like how this particular one is a suede finish, rather than leather. I always feel like suede is a little more "dressy" than leather is, as it just adds a different texture to an outfit.

3. boohoo lily woven off the shoulder top | £16 |

One of my favourite style of tops for summer is either cold shoulder or bardot/off the shoulder tops, so naturally i was going to be drawn to this top. That being said the first thing i thought is how beautiful this golden orange colour was, as well as how much i love this style of sleeve and i actually have a top with similar sleeves which i also picked up from Boohoo a month or two ago now.

4. brooke multi strap sandals | £15 |

I have mentioned in several posts before how i literally live in flat sandals in summer time, so you can never have too many pairs. I love metallic finish sandals for when you want something casual but add a little something different to the outfit, these sandals look super comfortable and also come in a rose gold, gold and silver metallic finish.

5. boohoo cosmic dreamer quilted baked highlighter | £5 |

So i am still yet to try anything from Boohoo's makeup range but that being said, i feel like since they launched they have stepped up their game already. I love how they have adapted the whole "nudes" collection vibe, complete with nude pink packaged products and of course this particular highlight was naturally going to catch my eye. I love baked highlighters, as they have the most beautiful texture and i am itching to see if this one is as beautiful as it looks.

6. boohoo holly circle bar and hoop earrings | £5 |

When it comes to jewellery i am all about the little to no jewellery look, so either just some simple earrings or a dainty bracelet. That being said i really love the these circle bar/hoop earrings, which i feel would look really nice with your hair in a nice ponytail when you want something a little extra.

7. boohoo robyn floral tie short sleeve blouse | £14 |

Another style of top that i am loving at the moment is the whole tie/wrap blouse style and i especially love this floral one on Boohoo right now, which could be styled in so many different ways. You could pair this number with either some jeans/denim shorts or even with some blush toned shorts and even some white slim leg trousers.

THINGS I'M LOVING ON PRETTYLITTLETHING RIGHT NOW

Hello everyone! So over the past couple of months i have found myself loving, lusting and buying so many different pieces of clothing, accessories and footwear for the spring/summer season. I honestly feel like the clothing for this season is on a different level to what it was last year and especially the previous autumn/winter, plus buying clothes for summer is so much more fun. With that in mind and following a similar theme to a post i shared last month which was a things i'm loving on ASOS right now post, for today's instalment i thought i would share with you the things i am loving on PRETTYLITTLETHING right now as like ASOS, Boohoo and Missguided, they are one of my favourite sites to buy clothing...

1. red embroidered bardot crop top | £20 |

So i never usually like anything red, as i never really thought it suited my colouring but i actually recently discovered how wearing red via a print, rather than in just one block colour looks a lot nicer and i really love this style of print at the moment. You can pick this crop top up in a petite fit or regular fit and it is also available to buy as a co-ord, to pair together or wear either one separately. 

2. white polka dot chiffon flare sleeve top | £15 |

I love, love, love this top style at the moment with the whole wrap style or where they look like a wrap top, especially in black and white form. I actually recently picked up a bargain black and white strip wrap top in H&M sale for £5, which i was shocked at because it is one of those items of clothing that looks way more expensive than it is and i feel like this PLT polka dot number has the same vibe to it.

3. kicho silver ornate double western style belt | £12 |

I am loving two different styles of belts at the moment, especially paired with black denim jeans one being the whole "gucci belt" dupe style and the other being the western style belt which seems to be so on trend again recently, probably due to the whole festival vibe going on. PLT actually have a view different style options in western belts, but this one has to be my favourite and it comes in both silver and gold finishes.

4. petite white high rise skinny white jeans | £20 |

The constant struggle is always real for me when it comes to buying jeans, the main reason being is i am super short especially my legs so regular length jeans are always a no go. The thing i love about PLT is just like Topshop, they have things available in the same style but in both regular fit and petite and that helps a short girl out. I really want to pick up a pair of white jeans for this summer, as i feel like they can look super dressed up or dressed down effortlessly.

5. gold layered disk plunge necklace | £6 |

So when it comes to jewellery i go in phases with it, i will either really enjoy wearing pieces and then i will not want to wear any at all. That being said recently i am loving opting for small dainty pieces of jewellery, whether that be a thin bracelet or dainty layered necklaces like this and for £6 this necklace is an absolute steal for the quality you are getting.

6. bardot double tie top | £22 |

When it comes to spring/summer i have mentioned before i am all about the bardot/cold shoulder style tops and i love this PLT number, which actually comes in three different colours (stone, red and baby pink) and the baby pink one is definitely my favourite. Even though this top is still technically a cropped top you can get away with not showing any skin, especially if you style it with either high-waist-ed jeans or shorts.   

7. brown round basket tassel cross-body bag | £22 |

I have actually seen a fair few people wearing this style of bag recently and usually this would not be my style at all, but i must say i love how this bag looks and i think it would be one of those bags that could totally switch up the way a plain outfit looks, as well as adding a touch of summer with the whole basket style finish. Also out of all of the more affordable ones i have seen this one from PLT is my favourite, as once again you always know you are going to get a good quality product from the brand.

8. black mirrored rounded sunglasses | £8 |

Finally we have another pair of sunnies, but ever since falling in love with my mirrored/flare lens style ones i picked up from ASOS last month i have become attracted to the style and i find myself lusting after so many pairs. Just like ASOS, PLT sunnies are also super affordable which is great because they you don't have to get overly worried about them getting scratched and stuff, like you would do if you have paid £100+ for a pair of designer ones.

THINGS I'M LOVING ON ASOS RIGHT NOW

Hello everyone! Just recently i have noticed there are a ton of great items on the ASOS site, both ASOS own brand and a bunch of other brands. I have also recently made a cheeky little order (some items included in this post) but there are still a handful or two of things i want to get. That being said for today's post i thought i would share with you some of the things i am loving on ASOS right now...

1. asos design denim shrunken jacket | £32 |

So this denim jacket was the first item in my basket and the main reason for browsing the sight at the time, because i was on the hunt for a more cropped style denim jacket and this one is perfect. I love this jacket, so much so i wore it the next day after it arrived especially worn with the sleeves rolled up slightly. I also love how this jacket is true to size and isn't too warm, it is in fact quite lightweight unlike some denim jacket.

2. asos fibbing studded black flat sandals | £14 |

These sandals were the next item in my basket as i actually tried to get them last summer but they only had wide fit left, although i have the nude pair in the normal fitting from last year. I literally live in flat sandals in summer as they go with pretty much anything and they are so comfortable, which is why i am glad they bought them back again for this summer. I have so many different pairs of studded sandals, as i love the Valentino vibe.

3. asos chunky round milky tort and flash lens sunglasses | £10 |

Putting these sunnies into my basket was a complete impulse buy as i didn't really need any new sunglasses but i am such a sucker for the whole tortoise shell finish, i love how these are slightly different as they have a flash lens which makes them super different to other pairs. I think these will be a favourite of mine this summer and for only £10, you can't really complain unlike if you buy a more expensive pair and they break.

4. asos design petite flutter sleeve tshirt | £16 |

As soon as i saw this detailed sleeve tee i thought how much this screams summer to me, especially paired with a cute pair of denim shorts/jeans or even white jeans. I am really loving wearing basics with a hint of detail at the moment, as i think it still looks effortless but still put together and with this style you can pair it with so many different things rather than with just one specific outfit. This t-shirt is also available in the regular fit too.

5. stradivarius pom pom basket | £17.99 |

I am completely obsessed with how much homeware ASOS now stock, from various brands such as stradivarius, typo, pimkie, ass & belle and more. Another thing i am loving at the moment is the whole woven style, especially this pom pom basket which i feel like you could use in so many different ways. I love how cool these baskets look with a throw/blanket arranged inside, but used as a plant pot is also super cute.

6. mac cosmetics | from £4.50 |

Another thing that i am obsessed with that is now stocked on ASOS is MAC Cosmetics, how cool is it that they are branching out and you can access it in so many different ways now? ASOS unlike some other online stores have such a wide range of stock, including new and limited edition launches. ASOS are also stocking mini/travel versions which you can usually only pick up from a MAC in-store or online.

7. sigma 3dhd black blender | £11 |

Another well known brand that ASOS now stock is Sigma, which i really want to give the 3DHD blender a try as so many people rave about how good it is. That being said i will pick one up next time i place an order, as i did recently only open a new beauty blender but this one is definitely on my to try list next and £11 is a good price.

8. adidas orginals white stan smith trainers | £70 |

Finally a pair of trainers i have my eye on to pick up next is this pair of all white Adidas Stan Smith's, as i love the whole all white trainers look. I know i already have a pair of all white Nike trainers which i love, but a girl can't have too many pairs of shoes right? 90% of the time i am all about comfort when it comes to footwear, unless i am going on a night out or for dinner in the evening something that is.

CURRENT TOPSHOP LUST LIST | SPRING/SUMMER

Hello everyone! So the other day i found myself browsing the Topshop site, just because i thought it would be rude not to take a quick look and just like the other month i found myself lusting after quite a few things. A lot of the items on the site are perfect spring/summer pieces and as you will probably be able to tell, i am living for a lot of blush/nude tones with black because i just love the way they look together recently...

1. satin animal print pyjama style shirt | £34 |

I am loving the whole "pyjama" style shirts at the moment and i actually picked a couple up recently from missguided and also boohoo, with this type of shirt you can style it in so many different ways either dressed up or dressed down. This is also the style of shirt that looks good either tucked into a pair of jeans or a skirt, then you can also wear it normally without it being tucked in.

2. gold sheet mask by oh k! | £8 |

I have seen that a lot of sites/stores are now stocking this brand of sheet masks, including Topshop. I love a good sheet mask as they are super hydrating on the skin and this particular one really got my attention as it claims to help achieve beautiful glowing skin.

3. topshop beauty limited edition afterglow highlighter | £12 |

Sticking with the whole glowing theme, this time on the limited edition beauty section of the site this particular highlighter in the shade afterglow caught my eye. I have a couple of different highlighters in my collection from Topshop beauty and i love them both as they are easy to work with, also not to mention so pigmented that you will glow all the way to space.

4. happy two part nude slides | £22 |

As soon as the weather starts to improve and we actually get a little bit of nice weather in the UK, i will basically live in flat sandals and i have so many pairs but some are starting to need an upgrade. I am loving the whole slide sandal vibe at the moment, which they have a ton of great affordable ones in Primark at the moment but i have my eye on this particular nude pair!

5. leopard print peplum camisole | £19 |

I have mentioned the plain black version of this top in a previous post and how much i love that, then i noticed they now do it in different patterned styles too. I love how this leopard print is still a super spring/summer piece but also has some black incorporated with it, these tops are so great to just simply throw on with a pair of jeans paired with a leather jacket.

6. washed black super ripped jamie jeans | £46 |

Talking of jeans, i have been looking for a pair of washed/faded black jeans but with rips in for a while now yet i completely didn't even think that Topshop would have some, but they do and i really like this particular pair as the rips aren't just at the knee area. If you are like me and have short legs then you will understand the struggle with ripped knee jeans ha ha!

7. crystal denim jacket | £95 |

Sticking with the denim theme but this time a denim jacket i am literally so in love with, since the moment i saw it. I saw this crystal embellished denim jacket on Hello October's instagram and thought how perfect this would look with a simple all black outfit, paired with this. I think so many people have the same thoughts as i do, as the jacket is currently almost sold out.

8. sade chain shopper bag | £26 |

I spotted this bag on a sponsored post for Topshop, which is actually what prompted me to take a look on the site in the first place and i thought how perfect this bag would be for spring/summer. I love the mix of the blush nude colour and the rose gold chain detailing, what i also love about this bag is even though it is a shopper bag it actually has a zipped area inside which is a lot safer for when you are out and about. I am also shook that this bag is only £26, such a bargain!

FAVOURITE A/W OUTFIT

Hey guys, i hope you all had a great weekend whatever you got up to! I just had a really chilled one and didn't get up to much, although in the UK the clocks changed back an hour which meant that "extra hour in bed" which did not apply to me as i was still wide awake at normal time (typical). When the clocks change that means two things colder weather and dark mornings/evenings, so i have been gradually adding winter essentials to my wardrobe which mainly consists of black of course but as well i have actually been really liking red. To me this is strange as i usually really don't like it as i thought it didn't suit me but i decided to be brave and give it a go and i love it! Saying this i thought i would put a little outfit mood board together to show you the style of outfits i have been loving to wear so far this season...

SPRING'14: FASHION PART TWO

In a previous blog post i talked about how on trend "orange" was for this spring, as well as the models hitting the catwalks sporting this bold colour they have also been wearing a lot of pastel colours which are defiantly spring appropriate. Here is a few of my favourite "pretty pastel" pieces available on the high street this spring...

My hot pick favourite: Birdie "mint coloured" platform strapped heels from JustFab for £35.

Check out my previous blog post "spring'14 fashion part one: orange is the new black" here.
