Highstreet Summer Inspiration

Finally it is starting to get to the summer weather and you may be stuck for what to wear. Maybe you just want to try something new and different. I have done four different styles from four different highstreet shops. Everything can be brought from their shops or online. Hope these give you a few more ideas off what to do this summer, it's been awhile since there has been any sun in the UK.

The first one is from Next It's a casual day time look but like a shopping day out or even a beach look
 The second look is more off a festival look or a sporty day out look. All the items are from  New Look and all more a comfy clothings for jumping or running around in.
 The third look is from TopShop. The look more off a smart and casual look all together. The patterned shorts and bag give the look a more smart look while the baggy white cami and denim sleeveless top gives it the overall look a different look.
 While the last look is from River Island. It's a more summer look with the bright green maxi skirt but not too over the top by the simple coloured from the rest off the outfit. This is always good to way at day time or at night by adding a smart jacket to it.

Well that is the first outfits. Hope you liked them and got some ideas from them to help towards your summer clothes or even your holiday clothing. Leave me a little comment and follow me on bloglovin. Button is on the side! Along with my Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr.

Cheeky Haul

So today, this happened! A shopping trip which lead to a big small on my face but a dent in my mum's bank account. It's all worth it to see me happy, I guess( well that's what I keep telling myself). 

I ended up just mainly buying from Primark, new look and Dorothy Perkins! 

So from Dorothy Perkins (www.dorothyperkins.co.uk), I got this cute little bow clutch. This bag is a goldish colour with a big glitter bow on the top, it's perfect for my prom! It's a good size, has a removable chain handle and it goes with the theme off my prom as well- bow ties and diamonds. This was in the sale as well, from £20 to £10. It was a good buy, I can see myself using this in the future for other event while I am just a lover off cute bows

Meanwhile from new look (www.newlook.co.uk), there was a big sale going on but I wasn't really liking anything apart from these jeans. The jeans were in the sale as well, costing only £11 from £22.99. The  jeans are super comfy, I'm wearing them now. The waist is a high one so there will be no builders' bums when you bend over. The colour is dark but has the acid wash look to it.

While, the biggest shop for me was Primark. My gulity pleasure where if there is a sale they are super good but yet there products are still good, sometimes even better then other high street shops but yet a very reasonable price.

This skater skirt was only £8 while it comes with a little black belt. I'm most likely to change the belt and use maybe a little brown one. The skirts always look skirt but when I tried it on, it was a gold length! I'm not one of them girls who like half their bums out on show (people off England will understand what I mean). The texture off the skirt isn't just flat, it's like a waffer one. It's what to me, makes it better then the other high street shops skater skirts.

While this top is a plain white top with little spikes on the sleeves. The cut for the arms are lower down like a bigger cut. Making it good for summer as it's must cooler and was in the sale for only £3. This was just a must buy for me, making a simple white vest top a little edge.
The nice little simple vest top with butterflies. A nice little vest top which is perfect for summer, it's nice and light. It's only £4 and there was a little black and white striped one but there wasn't one in my size (sad times)
A collar vest top! Yes, I do love tops with collars. This top is very  very see through! It's one that will need something underneath or you will be showing a bit too much. This was also in the sale, only £3 and it was just a must have for my collection.

A little close up on the collar.
Shoe time! I didn't really like any off the shoes really but I find these little cute flip-flops. There was a range of colours: nude(like mine), white, black and I think there was a few more. These are so cute and I do love bows and thought it will be good for this summer. Hopefully it will stay hot and sunny.

Then finally, I stocked up on essentials that most girls will have and for some reason they always go missing or ended up being ripped. How does socks always end up go missing in the washing machine? The socks were only like £2 and the tights were £3 for 3 pairs which come in a range of different thickness.

PROM TIME!

It's prom time!

For some of us, it's that time off year where you are revising for exams and sorting the last few days of school you actually have left. For me I have about 20 school days left, not like I am counting or anything tehe.

Prom must the only thing that is actually getting me through school, it's keeping me going through the last years and long nights of revision! Getting me excited for something that is coming and powering me through all the exams that will be coming to something that will hopefully be a good night and a little reward for all the work and effort I've put into everything!

Dress. To girls, I know this has got to be the most important thing ever for us at this point. People spend hours finding the right dress for them. I thought I will give you a few little tips to help finding the rest dress for you that tiny bit less stressful and more exciting.

Busty Girls. Girls who seem to have a bigger bust may want their boobs hanging out and showing however some may want to make it more classic and hidden a tiny bit more without squishing them flat down. You may want a dress that has less detailing around that area and even with straps.

Flatter Girls. You are more obviously want this area to look more full, well i do anyways i have this problem. Well I think a dress that has more detailing in this area will help give the illusions off a more fuller. Also may be an a-line dress will be able to complete this or a strapped dress.

Where to buy? Knowing what the right dress for you is just one off the problems, another is finding a good place where they sell the dresses that you are looking for. Some good websites that sell some dress that I found to be good are: 
www.newlook.com- I was personally surprised at how good there prom dress actually were which are reasonably priced. The dresses are short and long range but the colours are limited.
 a example of a dress from their website, really good style! the pricing is really good, this is about £50. 

www.coast-stores.com - The dresses from here are really good quality and the colours are light and more pastel. The colours are good but only what is on offer, the pricing is much higher but the styles are a wider range



a dress from coast-stores.com, this is a dress I actually put this one on, it's really good quality and very flowy.

www.dress.vponsale.com- This is personally my new favourite shop and where I have got my dress from! The dresses are a wider range, different styles, able to change the colour to suit you and custom sizing for free. The dress are a range from short dresses, longer dresses, puffy dresses, simple styled, more detailed dresses. The negative is that it's only an online shop so unable to see what it looks like on you but if you know what type of dress you want, it's fine!.

My Dress
I thought I should share my dress that I will be wearing, this must be the only dress I really loved and I just fell in love with it the moment I've seen it. It's an dress inspired by what Selena Gomez wore on a red carpet, didn't realised until after I've brought the dress. The dress is from www.dress.vponsale.com. It's been customised to my size and was able to change it if I wanted too but decided to keep it the way it was.

So go on girls! Get your dresses or if you still not your prom yet, get looking and start getting excited! Hope you all find the right dress you love!
