Style Steal: Amy Macdonald

Okay so here's some things I love about Amy Macdonald: 

1. She is called Amy
2. Her music is good
3. She is Scottish
4. Her style is pretty awesome

Amy Macdonald's style is kinda like 'Scottish rock chic'. She mixes Tartan dresses and skirts with leather and does it really well. So here is how to get one of her excellent styles for a very good price...

                                                                                                                     

I think the jacket is probably my favourite out of this outfit. It's only £29.99 from H&M. The shoes are from New Look and are £24.99 - I also thinks shoe boots or heels with studs would spice the outfit up a little bit. The dress is an absolute bargain at only £10 from Desire Clothing. Which you can buy here.

I hope you enjoyed this style steal and I would love some suggestions for the next one.

Summer essentials: We love short shorts.

So we all love short shorts - who doesn't love short shorts? 

What could be better than a gorgeous pair of short denim shorts for this summer? 

Umm, short denim sale shorts for this summer.

I have searched the internet and found the perfect must-have shorts for this summer from the high street. Whether they be patterened, floral, dip-dyed, tie-dye or high waisted then I have the perfect ones for you. 

For me, there isn't a better feeling than finding the perfect pair of shorts and not wanting to take them off all summer. 

Short denim shorts are the most important item of clothing of your summer and here's how to get them without breaking the budget... 

These shorts are lovely. A nice mixture between plain denim and a vintage floral pattern. 

Miss Selfridge: was £35, now £15

Dip-dye style is very "in" right now. These shorts kind of remind me of a clear, sunny day and would be perfect for this summer.

Miss Selfridge: was £35, now £15

Every summer wardrobe has to have a nautical outfit. These red and white striped shorts would make a great edition.

Miss Selfridge: was £26, now £12

I'm not the world's hugest fan of plain denim when there is so many different choices out there. But if you are trying to tone it down these would be great - and you can still get a bit of colour and pattern in the the USA style pockets.

Miss Selfrdge: was £30, now £15

Gotta love high-waisted shorts. These super short shorts are fantastic and the bright purple is a good way to make yourself stand out this summer.

Topshop: was £32, now £15

These baby's remind me of a sweetie stick of rock or something. Great outfit for a day at the fun fair.

Topshop: was £32, now £15

These shorts have a lovely tropical feel to them. Would be great for going out dancing with... 

Topshop: was £34, now £15

Oooh tie-dye. Definitely coming back in fashion. I love these colours too. 

Topshop: was £32, now £15

Hope you love short shorts as much as I do. 

All of these shorts are from either Miss Selfridge or Topshop and are only a small selection from each.

Style steal: Zooey Deschanel

So I thought it would be fun to give this a bit of a go. Everyone loves looking at people in the eye of the media and thinking "man, I wish I had that outfit". Well what if you could have the very same outfit for a fraction of the price?? 

This week I'm gonna do Zooey Deschanel because her style is amazing and she is a complete babe.

This is a very cute little outfit and I think it's something that's not too glamorous and quite appropriate for the up-coming summer months...

This cardigan isn't identical to the one Zooey is showing off but it is very similar and at only £20 from style369.com you can't really grumble.
The dress is my favourite. It's pretty much an identical match to the actress's and is only £20 again from asos.com and it also comes with a waist belt too (two birds, one stone).
Finallyt, these goregeous black patent heels are only £29.99 from TK Maxx - if you are wanting a cheaper pair of these then you can usually pick up a pair for around £15 from Primark.

I hope you enjoyed my first "style steal" :)

Which celebrities style do you want me to "steal" next?

Summer essentials: The Dress Edition

So this post is very similar to my "spring picks". 

As it is only one week until I jet off Bulgaria, I thought now would be a good time to share with you dresses that you need for this summer because 1. They are amazing and 2. They are cheap cheap cheap.

The thing that I love most about a summer wardrobe is the ability to use colour in crazy ways on a daily basis. And wearing something with palm trees on it is totally okay (well, at least, it is in my eyes...)

So here are the hot little numbers that made my shortlist:

 1.  The little bow tie alone makes me fall instantly in love with this dress. It's the perfect day dress and flowers are always a plus. Only £20 from River Island - it comes in at a decent price.

 2. This probably isn't the first dress I would take off the hanger but it's only £12.99 from H&M. This, to me, would be a great summer day to night dress. Teamed with flats and a cardigan durning the day and a leather jacket and killer heels for night time. Perfect.

 3. Who can't resist a shirt dress? You need at least 3 shirt dresses in your wardrobe at any time and at only £15 from River Island, this one will do nicely. I love the little pattern and a thin, white waist belt and some white tennis shoes would look perfect for a nice casual summer look.

 4. I have most definitely invested in one of these for the summer. This River Island number is the kind of dress you could just throw on top of your bikini to laze about the beach with or team with a pair of black skinnies and heels for a night-time look.

 5. This vibrant dress from H&M is only £14.99 and is the perfect burst of colour anyone needs in their wardrobe. Teamed with a cute little pair of vintage heels - this will look amazing.

 6. Bargain alert! H&M's £6.99 summer dress is adorable. There is nothing more that I need to say about this.

 7. I love ombre dresses and yellow is such a fabby colour. This floaty style of dress will be amazing with a pair of gladiator sandals and will definitely help with cooling off during the hot summer (hopefully).

 8. This Miss Selfridge dress has such a lovely vintage feel to it and is quite a bargain at £18. We love nude pink. 

Which is your favourite summer dress?

Lolita Lempicka

THIS IS MY NEW FAVOURITE PERFUME.

If you love floral scents then this is for you. I was first introduct to the Lolita Lempicka range from Glossybox and I absolutely love it. The bottle is like a luxurious apple with a funky Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" twist. It has one of those scents that are not to strong but definitely noticable. 

The one factor that would put me off is the price. It's around £50 for a 50ml bottle. However, the website cheap smells sell it for almost half the price which is amazing and I will be stocking up a.s.a.p.
