MISSGUIDED AUTUMN/WINTER WARMER PICKS

Hello everyone! So the weather has definitely taken a turn for the worse and when i say worse, i mean it is freezing cold in the UK at the moment. Keeping that in mind i have noticed a wide range of new-in pieces on the Missguided site that are the perfect winter warmer pieces, to keep you looking/feeling toasty warm and i thought why not share my top picks with you all...

1. black faux leather biker jacket | £45 | - click to buy |

For me personally a black leather jacket is a wardrobe staple for all year round, especially for autumn/winter as you can either dress them up or down. I love this particular style with the faux fur collar and if i had seen this one before the new one i recently picked up on ASOS first, i definitely think i would of gone for this one. I love pairing them with a top/jumper, jeans and either boots or trainers, leather jackets also look great styled with scarves.

2. cream oversized boxy shaggy teddy jacket | £65 | - click to buy |

Something that is a huge trend for this autumn/winter season is faux fur/teddy jackets, which lets face it aren't they just so cosy and warm? I love this particular style as it isn't too long in length, which i am not a huge fan of as i am only 5ft2. This particular jacket also comes in a variety of different colours from cream to black and even a beautiful red colour.

3. petite black cropped boxy denim jacket | £25 | - click to buy |

I love denim jackets for more casual looks, especially this boxy style as you can layer with them easier during autumn/winter and look good paired with jumpers, unlike a regular fit denim jacket. This particular black boxy style is available in both regular fit and petite, for me personally as i am a little shorter petite fit always fits me a lot better than a regular fit. Another selling point for this jacket is how affordable it is at just £25, for such a well made/great quality jacket. I have had a few Missguided jackets over the years, that last/wear well.

4. grey cable knitted boyfriend jumper | £25 | - click to buy |

Something that is definitely a winter wardrobe staple is knitwear/jumpers and Missguided definitely have a huge selection to choose from, including this super cosy cable knit jumper that is available in six different colours but personally i love this grey colour. They also have different styles of knit jumpers from more fitted styles to off the shoulder style and super-oversized jumpers. The pricing of jumpers range from £10 to around £25/30 (all depending on the style) and they also wash really well.

5. black faux suede western ankle boots | £28 | - click to buy |

A style that i am personally enjoying wearing so far this autumn/winter season is ankle grazer style skinny jeans, paired with black suede ankle boots. I have a few pairs in my wardrobe including a couple of pairs i recently picked up similar to this style, one heeled and one more on the flat side. The thing i love about Missguided shoes is they are super comfy to wear/walk in for a long time without your feet aching.

6. black zig zag pattern scarf | £12 | - click to buy |

Finally, no autumn/winter wardrobe is complete without a staple scarf to layer up with when going out in the cold. The perfect thing about picking up a scarf that is either black or neutral, it is going to go with so many different outfits and whatever jacket/coat you decide to pair it with. I definitely think i am going to pick this particular scarf up, to style with a leather jacket, black jeans and heeled ankle boots for the perfect "shopping" look.

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.

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!
