Item of the Week

Spotted: My item of the week



Motel Rocks is amazing for bright vibrant prints in every style you could want. Sun dresses, bustiers, playsuits and jeans are always great quality and guaranteed to get you noticed!

This Zoe Bodycon dress is incredible, especially for £28!
I love the symetrical vibrant print and this dress is incredibly form fitting and flattering. It looks stunning paired with a pair of black heels or sandals and is an instant wardrobe update.
I would recommend this company and this product to everyone!


Camo Jacket Look

Style Steal

STYLE STEAL: Camo Jacket


The camo jacket is a massive trend, seen on celebs such as Alexa Chung and Fearne Cotton. It looks great over a lacey dress or with the wet look leggings featured in my last post. 

Last time I was in Urban Outfitters, I loved their Urban Renewal Jacket, but for nearly £50 I wasn't convinced. After some searching I have discovered almost an identical jacket for £14.99!! I have since ordered from this website and the products are great value and nice quality. www.fu-kit.com supplies all kinds of camo/army jackets for a fraction of the cost.

Lovely Leggings

Leggings are basically a more comfortable alternative to jeans, and unlike most trousers come in hundreds of styles and colours at pretty reasonable prices. I am just going to show you five of my favourites x


I am absolutely in love with the ying and yang leggings, i also managed to find them for 4.99 on ebay, absolute bargain!
The black milk dollar leggings have been on my want list for ages and they recently came into stock, if you're willing to invest, they are beautiful quality and i guarantee you will get compliments wherever you go. ( I often get stopped when I wear a similar pair).

Although these topshop tie dye leggings are reasonable-ish, there are plenty of rip offs on ebay, if you just type in "tie dye leggings". They look great with a black tee, if you're into grunge.

You cannot go wrong with aztec print. It is everywhere! It looks great with a simple vest top and leather jacket or jumper combo. I love these colourful blue ones but a simple black and white pair can turn into a great wardrobe staple.

Finally wet look leggings. These are brilliant with everything and are seen on basically every fashion forward celebrity. You have to get the right fit and quality, cheap wet look leggings are not great. I love saving money but after seeing some in tesco, i have definitely been put off.. These ones from Very are a very reasonable price for this style of leggings

Enjoy x

Shorts (studded and pastel)

I'm really liking the studded shorts trend but trying to find some that aren't going to empty my bank balance but also look great. There are ways of doing this yourself, but dying denim is not easy and you might end up without your desired finished product. By having a look at alternative websites, I have found a few that have caught my eye, enjoy x


These shorts are a great way to wear the pastel trend, along with the distressed studded grunge trend, which is taking the fashion world by storm, and not bad for less than 24 pounds, etsy:

I love the subtle pocket studding and rips down the side, theses are also great  if you aren't comfortable wearing brighter colours.









If you are daring enough and willing to spend a little more, then look no further than the ragged priest vintage, these store can be found online, including ebay and asos marketplace and they are one of the best stores for unique pastel/studded shorts:

The dip dye trend is massive at the moment, moving from hair to clothing, and these shorts are perfect for everyday wear:
If you want a cheaper option, then keep an eye on ebay, as these go for around 20-25 pounds. You can buy them directly from the ragged priest for around 40, which obviously offers more choice.












These are definitely for a certain style, but if i had the money to spend on these, they would be top of my want list, this sort of design will set you back around 40 pounds:



For plenty of choice, try ebay or asos marketplace. There are hundreds of brands begging for your purchase, and depending on your love of studding you can go from barely any, to covering half your shorts:

These are an easy way to keep up with the trend but aren't too over the top. I love the fit, and they are incredibly versatile. You can pick similar shorts up from asos marketplace for around 20- 40 pounds.
















And finally, a little known store for those with a larger amount to spend, Batoko is amazing for unusual and incredible studded shorts, these will set you back in excess of 50 pounds:
