WISHLIST: Boohoo Dress

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

There's nothing I love more than browsing the web for clothes when I have no work and no money. Yes, it makes me pretty depressed knowing that I have no money to buy the clothes with but it also brings me so much joy. I love looking at pretty things and for me, there's nothing prettier than dresses (if you don't count make up of course). Boohoo are currently offering up to 50% off of some of their dresses and when I saw this, I immediately wanted to either attempt to extend my already huge student overdraft, take up three extra jobs or rob a bank - yes, I want clothes that badly. But instead of doing that, I resisted and decided to create a blog post so we can all swoon at pretty dresses together. As always, all of the dresses - apart from one - are fit and flare dresses. They just really suit my figure. The odd one out however - dress number 3 - is so beautiful and Barbie-fied and I want it right now. But I doubt it'd sit right on me. You can see the full range of up to 50% off dresses here. Which is your favourite?

WISHLIST: Playsuits

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Playsuits are my one true love at the moment. I think they're easy to wear and ridiculously cute. I currently only have two of them - this one from New Look and one which I recently purchased from Lashes of London after writing this blog post (a full blog post on the playsuit will be up soon). As you can see, there's a little theme running through these playsuits - I love dark colours, particularly black as I think it's the most flattering colour. I also love cute, ditsy playsuits with bows, collars, animal prints, sequins and lace. The playsuit that I need the most is the pinafore one from Topshop. However it's so expensive! So I'm currently searching all over eBay in the hopes of finding something similar for cheaper. Or if you've seen another brand do a similar version, please do let me know. When I met DollyBowBow at the Spice Girls event she was wearing it and she looked beautiful in it. It's such a staple piece and although it is expensive, I know I'd get a lot of wear out of it. But that doesn't persuade a cheap skate like me enough!

FASHION: Recent Purchases

When I got my student loan, I thought I'd treat myself to a few new clothing pieces. So I went onto eBay (my addiction) and typed in "fit and flare" and then "peplum dress" and these are what I ended up winning!

From left to right.

FIRST: The top is from Warehouse and I got it a couple of Christmases ago in Debenhams after my dad bought me a shopping experience there. It's so pretty and it's very versatile. It can be worn in summer, winter, with jeans, with a skirt, during the day, at night. I absolutely love it and I find myself wearing it all the time. The skirt is then from eBay and it was an absolute bargain at £4.49. Yes, it's from Hong Kong so it takes a little while to come but it's worth it. It's not the best quality but for less than £5, what are you expecting? It's beautiful, flattering and I adore it. You can find this skirt here. The necklace is from Tally and Hoe which I've blogged about before here. The necklace I'm wearing is the Scissors & Comb necklace* which is one of my favourites!

SECOND: The green dress is yet again from eBay. When I was bidding on it, I didn't see a brand name but I really didn't care to be honest. And even now, I'm unaware of what brand it is but it's such a pretty colour and cut that it just doesn't bother me. I've never been one for brand names and as long as I like it, the brand name definitely doesn't matter. This dress is peplum style around the backs and sides and at the front, it cuts away from the peplum style. I would say it's kind of a futuristic dress which is cute but what drew me towards it was definitely the colour. So pretty! The necklace in this outfit is one that my dad bought me for Christmas a really long time ago. It's a beautiful silver drop down necklace and I really love it. It was from Debenhams but I highly doubt they still have it in there as it is pretty old.

THIRD: And finally (almost) the pink dress is once again from eBay. This is a brand name and this is from BooHoo. I've had a look on the website but unfortunately, they no longer sell it. Once again what drew me to this was the colour. Pink is my favourite colour but ever since becoming a 'teenager' or even an 'adult' I just don't seem to buy pink clothes - probably because I think I'll look like a little girl. But I couldn't resist this dress. It's a bright pink, a very bright pink which shows off my newly spray tanned body (post coming soon) and yet again, it's a peplum style dress. This time, it's a full peplum dress and it also has black netting around the top.

The only things I don't like about the top in the first picture and the two dresses is that they don't have sleeves in them and seeing as I don't like my arms, it's not a good thing for me. But it's nothing that my beautiful, white blazer from Tesco can't fix! I'd been after a white blazer for a ridiculously long time and I walked past this in Tesco, saw it was £10 and very quickly bought it. I wear it on pretty much every night out. I love it so much. Finally the shoes (which are dirty and for some reason I didn't think to clean them before taking the pictures) are from New Look and I've had them a good few months now. They're the only heels I ever wear as they're comfy, easy to walk in and go with pretty much anything. These were really cheap when I bought them and when I looked on the New Look website I noticed that they're now in the sale and they're only £12. You can view these shoes here.

£50 BooHoo Fashion Voucher Blogger Challenge Entry

I've seen these posts making the rounds and I absolutely love BooHoo so I thought I'd give the challenge a go. The wonderful Fashion Vouchers is hosting the competition and in all honesty, before the competition I had no idea it existed but now I find myself checking it daily to see what offers are on there.

I chose the Samantha Leopard Print Collar Shift Dress because it's beautiful basically. It can be dressed up or dressed down and it's the perfect fit for me. I also love the collar which just gives it that edge and makes it stand out. I then decided to glam the dress up with the Alice Lace Fan Drop Earrings. I would probably wear my hair up whilst wearing this dress but I never wear my hair up without earrings and these ones are beautiful and add a dainty look to the outfit. I then finished with the Zaria Peeptoe Slingback Metallic Cigarette Heels as they are very versatile and can go with any outfit.

You can find out more about the challenge and enter here.
