My Ark wishlist

 

 

All items - from Ark clothing website

 

I don't know about you, but I've always been a big fan of Ark. It's the kind of shop where I can walk in and find myself wanting everything they stock! Their website is fast becoming one of my favourite sites to browse for affordable on-trend clothing. They have a whole range of fab brands, including some of my favourites like Glamorous, Motel, Hearts and Bows and Superdry Clothing and the website is full of fab pieces. These are some of my top picks that are on the website at the moment, I'm especially in love with the checked two-piece skirt and top set - and it's only £18.99! What a bargain! I'm also in love with the amazing cut-out white dress. Even though I'm super-clumsy when it comes to spilling things, I just can't seem to resist the white trend at the moment! What do you think of my wishlist? Have you ever shopped on the Ark website?

Stripes and neon

 Dress - Motel

Bag - boohoo

Boots - Shoe Zone

Necklace - H&M

Bracelets - MVintage and Merci Maman

This post has been a long time coming - I've been wearing this Motel dress tons in real life, but haven't had the chance to post it on my blog yet! They sent me it with some lovely goodies from Palmers, including the Palmers Cocoa Butter Chocolate & Cherry Lip Butter, which is a god send, and it's even tinted to a perfect red colour too (as you can see, I'm a convert!)

And what do you think of my outfit with this monochrome striped Motel number? I can't seem to stop adding neon accessories to monochrome looks at the moment, I love it but I'm worried it's getting a bit samey haha! Motel have got even more amazing monochrome pieces in at the moment, I'm obsessed with their checkerboard looks! What do you think of today's outfit?

 I've got a bit of a different post for you today, it's some DIY I did for boohoo this week. I was given a plain tee to customise and a DIY kit full of studs, gemstones, paints and glue to get creative with and make my perfect festival piece of clothing! I decided to get cutting and create this tassled and studded number. What do you think? I think it would be perfect with some denim cutoffs and wellies for festival season! It was super easy to make too - all it needed was some scissors and a slightly steady hand. 

For anyone interested in creating their own, here's some super easy instructions to get you going!

1. Cut up the edge of the top with fabric scissors. For best results, use a ruler to make sure you don't create a wonky hem!

2. Tie knots at the top and bottom of each tassel to create a better shape and stop the fabric from fraying

3. Add studs in the pattern or word that you want to create! I'd recommend laying out the studs to test it first. And don't forget to use scissors to bend the studs into place instead of your fingers - I learnt from experience that it can be a bit painful otherwise!

What do you think of this easy DIY project? If you do decide to give it a go then make sure you check out boohoo's latest competition, where you can win festival tickets for instagramming your DIY creation with the hashtag #boohooSWAG! Check out the competition here.

Have fun DIY-ing!

Gorgeous Couture: 2 ways

Dress - Gorgeous Couture

Heels - BANK Fashion

Boots - Topshop

Jacket - Mee Mee

 

I don't know about you, but I've had my eye on the amazing dresses at Gorgeous Couture for quite sometime (I mean every girl needs a go-to "if only..." dresses shop, right?!) So needless to say I was pretty excited when the lovely girls at the store sent me this beautiful red dress to style up! It is seriously gorgeous. For the bright scarlet "look-at-me" colour, to the clingy fit and the lace detailing, it is the perfect dressy dress. I decided to do something about differnt when I blogged about it though, and style the dress up in 2 different ways - one for a dressy occasion, and one for a more casual rock-n-roll look. After all, when a dress is this gorgeous, you want to be able to wear it a bit more often, right?! Which is your favourite look? How would you style this LRD (little red dress)?
