Feeling like a Marshmallow








(My dog jumped up at me with dirty paws in the last photo, luckily he did it after the photos were taken!)
1. Missguided Lilih Sweatshirt in Pastels (link here) - £19.99
2. Topshop Petite Mini Gingham Leggings (link here) - £22.00
3. (Similar) Ronya Oversized Boyfriend Coat (link here) - £40.00
4. (Similar) Pretty Little Thing Mia Red Patent Creeper (link here) - £8.00

I am most definitely feeling like a cross between a Marshmallow and a Dolly Mixture sweet today. As the weather is slowly deteriorating yet again (typical British weather), I thought I would add a little colour to the world and go all out. I have got the pink coat out again after putting it towards the back of my coat rail as the weather WAS warming up, but hey, this is the UK after all. The coat I am wearing is from Dresslily has sold out, but I managed to find a similar version on Boohoo, however, it is a little pricier than what I had paid for the coat I own. 
Last week, Missguided had free postage on all orders, so I just had to make an order. I had my beady eye on this pastel jumper for a while now but I am on a tight budget at the moment, so I'm trying to only buy clothes which are on sale, have a discount or free postage. So, you can imagine how happy I was to see that Missguided had free postage available. I am in love with this jumper. It just screams SS14 all over. I love all the variations of pastel colours it has and I think the pocket is adorable. I paired this jumper with a pair of Gingham leggings from Topshop. I have had these for a while now and get plenty of wear from them. However, I would advise to get a size smaller as they do come up a little big on the legs as I have to roll the hems up and these are petite length! However, at only £22.00 how can you refuse?! I personally think the leggings pair well with the jumper. Lastly, I added a pair of red patent brogues/creepers. I always get complimented on these and always get asked where they are from but unfortunately, I bought them three years ago and they have sold out where I purchased them and I can't seem to see them anywhere else, but I love them! They go with anything and they inject abit of a darker effect to this outfit. 
After these pictures were taken, my dog decided to jump up at me and put his dirty paws on my clothes but luckily this was after the photos were taken....just!

Until next time,

My Favourite Gingham Print Pieces

Firstly, I apologise for my lack of posts this week.  I am currently loving the gingham trend that is causing a storm within the fashion industry. Below, are my favourite Gingham pieces.

         1. Topshop Gingham Jeans £38 - Found here
2. Topshop Gingham Scuba Tee £28.00 - Found here
3. New Look Gingham Check Tube Skirt £9.99 - Found here
4. Daisy Street Theoni Drop Waist Gingham Dress £14.99 - Found here

Aren't these Gingham pieces just amazing? I currently own the two Topshop pieces and I love them! Joni Jeans from Topshop are the comfiest jeans ever as they are quite stretchy. The Gingham Tee from Topshop is quite a flattering fit I find. It is a little cropped than I had hoped for but it looks great as a matching set with the Gingham Joni jeans. Previously, I wanted to purchase the Gingham matching set from Topshop but it was quite pricey and the top was a vest top and I'm not overly keen on exposing the tops of my arms. But here is the link for it here. I also want a Gingham skirt. I am in two minds whether I want the skirt to be a skater style or a more fitted style. I am unsure whether to purchase the skirt above as I am yet to make a decision but I do like this skirt. It is a fitted, pencil skirt style and is a great price at only £9.99. What a bargain!. My next favourite piece is the drop waist Gingham dress from Daisy Street. I absolutely adore Daisy Street. They are always on point with the current trends and their prices are extremely reasonable. I have had my eye on this dress for quite a while now. It's different from any other Gingham dresses I have seen. I particularly like the drop waist and I like the turned up sleeves as I have noticed many of other Gingham dresses I have seen have had cap sleeves which show off the tops of the arms and as I said previously, I'm not keen on that. And this dress is only £19.99, bargain again!. 
I hope you are loving the Gingham trend too! :) 

Until next time,
