IBIZA OR ENGLAND?

Normally, the weather wouldn't stop me tooooooo much when shooting an outfit, but with the combination of torrential rain and wind, I decided to hold off until it was somewhat acceptable!

I've never really been a fan of the 'clubbing scene', however I have a secret love for 'clubbing fashion', I can't help it! There's something so cool about crazy bright colours and cute 90's fashion. I'd say this look is very acceptable for a clubbing holiday in Ibiza! (If only I could have shot the pictures there..). 

I was very kindly sent this incredible dress from Moonstruck Ibiza, an online store selling the cutest pieces, very much clubbing style!
Does it remind you of anything? The AA halter-neck dress maybe? Yep! It's literally an exact dupe of the American Apparel lycra halter-neck dress. I own three dresses in this style, two being from American Apparel, yet none of them feel as good quality as this one! 
This dress is so much softer, and doesn't require a bra, (in my opinion), unlike the others!

I wanted this kimono when it first came out a couple of years ago in H&M, but I wasn't quick enough, and I certainly wasn't going to pay the extortionate prices on eBay, so I was thrilled when I found it on Depop for........... £5!!!!! An absolute steal.
It's possibly a little too bright for day to day wear, but for a holiday or festival, it's perfect!

There's no such thing as a clubbing outfit without a little holographic, and I'm a sucker for anything shiny, so of course I'm wearing my go-to Public Desire babies! 





(Interesting lighting????).

PALM TREE SUNSET

I'm actually really pleased with how these pictures have turned out, so shout out to mama bear for being so fabulous! 

I may have taken 'payday treats' to a new extreme after looking at all of the pieces I ordered from Missguided! No regrets, they're all magical and beautiful.
You can only imagine the Missguided filled blog posts to come! (Like they're not in every single one anyway, ha!).

Anyway, the reason I mentioned that is because this dreamy palm-tree print crop top was only £4.99 in their sale! I purchased the 'daytime' one not long ago, so when I saw the 'sunset/evening' one in the sale, it was completely sold. (I can only describe it like that as it actually makes sense to me!).
I'm sure I've featured this skirt before, but it's my trusty AA lilac skater skirt which was a birthday present last year! It looks lovely with this top, really bringing out the lilac hues.
Yep, it's a kimono.. again. Sorry, not sorry! It's not my fault there's so many beautiful kimonos out there, what's a girl to do?!

My shoes are my newest and seventh pair of Public Desire beauties. I have never been so dedicated to a shoe store, haha! All for a very good reason though, and that's super beautiful and affordable shoes!
I must say this about every single pair of PD shoes, but these are truly the most comfortable shoes in the history of ever. They were having a 20% off everything promotion at the time I ordered them, so I only paid around £12 which is incredible. Even the measly £14.99 they actually are is incredibly reasonable.

PASTEL COLOURBLOCK

On an 'accidental' shopping spree in the Trafford Centre, I spotted these UH-MAZING American Apparel style shorts in Forever 21. They're literally the exact same as the AA ones, down to the last thread! Of course, they were a fraction of the price so I couldn't say no. Let's hope the high-street stores continue bringing out these higher-end gems!

I loooove ribbed crop tops, and I own quite a few now, (including my b-e-a-utiful pink Missguided one!). They have more edge than a regular crop top, but they're still subtle and very wearable. I love this little blue number, however it's very see-through, so I do apologise for the sight of my bra. If anyone could give me tips on what type of bra/what to wear underneath, that would be great! 

I wanted lots of statement pastel jewellery to go with this look, so I used the only two pieces I have! My necklace includes almost every pastel colour you could imagine, and my earrings are a simple mint green. Perfect. 
As my outfit/jewellery is the focus of this look, I toned down the shoes with some fun glittery jellies.

CASUAL SPRING DAISIES

Steering away from my usual pastel theme today with this super casual daytime Spring look. 
As American Apparel is more often than not out of my price range, I asked for a couple of pieces from there for my 18th birthday last year. I received two denim circle skirts, one in lilac, and one in this beautiful sunflower print. When I laid my eyes on this print last year, I wanted to own every piece they made!
I love floaty tops, especially in crop-top form as it's extremely flattering, but also very summery. I tend to pick these up all over the place during the warmer months as they're so cheap and very wearable.
My favourite part of this outfit is of course the skirt! I love structured skater skirts as again, so flattering! They avoid all of your lumps and bumps and pull you in at your smallest point, a look I am all for! They are a little pricey, but I would definitely consider them an investment as the material is hard-wearing and the look is timeless.
JuJu jellies are perfect to finish off a casual look in my opinion, they're cute, comfy and very affordable. 
Also, my dog seems to love getting in my pictures at the moment! He just stares at me and occasionally pushes his ball towards me.. 





TOP - H&M - AROUND £4
SKIRT - AMERICAN APPAREL - £50 (£48 on ASOS)
