Missguided Galaxy Tunic

If you like Missguided, you'll know about this dress, and you'll know it has now sold out, twice, in a matter of hours, which is why I'm so pleased to have snapped it up whilst recently in stock!

I'm planning on wearing it to a local festival next weekend and below are a few accessories I would add to this unique dress.

I've only opted for a few different bits and bobs because I dont want to over-do it and its summer so theres not much else that needs adding!

I've loved this dress ever since I saw it on the website so I cant wait to play around with jewellery and add ons which I will hopefully pick up in Spain next week visiting my family (and zara, of course!)

The cut out style as well as the galaxy print are really on trend at the moment and I will definitely be attempting some matching nails for the festival to finish off the look.

At only £14.99 its well within my budget so I'm a happy camper, literally!

Nails Nails Nails

Hey guys!

So I'm back from my little holiday weekend, and because it was a camping holiday and it rained a lot, and I have 3 sisters, I was doing loads of nails. So to bore you further, here are some of the designs I did whilst there.

I promise to do a non related nail post very soon!

But I'm suffering from holiday blues at the moment, and I'm very very lazy.

For instance, I've watched about 12 Jenna Marbles videos in the last 10 hours and not much else. 

But, I did buy a french grazia (which is already 'so yesterday' because its weekly) andddd I've started on my DIY bunting, so stay tuned! 

First off, my favourite patterns of the weekend (above) I did my sisters nails in a pink and white theme, You can probably guess I used my new nails art pens to do hearts and bows and a ribbon, and dots and flowers and stripes, really cute, and would definitely do this again.

My sisters are going to Turkey next week, so I did holiday themed nails,(below) with a mini cocktail, palm tree, star fish, eye and sun.

Then I did my older sisters, who loves kate spade, so these simple blue and white dotty nails looked so nice!

Then I did mine, little daisies on a blue background.

And mine again, did yesterday, sort of geometric shapes with a pink background. 

I also ordered 500 fake plain acrylic nails as soon as I got home for £2.60 on ebay, which I'm going to do designs on and then hopefully start selling them! 

May as well make a bit of money out of my favourite little hobby!

Summer Sale Buys

Sale Buys by emilyrodgers18 featuring skinny fit jeans

After working for a while, I've been able to afford a few pieces in the summer sales, maybe with a bit of help from Bank of Mum. Looking at it altogether, this is a pretty random selection of stuff if I must say so myself!

I'm going on holiday in a couple of weeks, and along with hating all my wardrobe at the moment (it happens to all of us every now and again!) this is the main reason behind these purchases. 

Topshop

The playsuit (£18) will be great for the day walking around in 40 degrees. I love the bright colour of the band around the waist.

The lilac jeans are a fun colour, something a bit different, and a bargain at £20. They are meant for the normal sized people, but after turning them up at the end a couple of times, they make a strapping pair of crops.

Miss Selfridge

The body is a nice, light, elastic material which will be perfect for a casual night out put with a pair of denim shorts. (£7)

And finally, the skater scarf print dress, not my first choice, but after trying it on, I was converted. (£29)

Hopefully these buys should get me started and I'm still racking the shelves for more summer sale deals!

Summer Wedding Peplum Perfection

This season there has been pretty peplum's everywhere in our stores.
This style is classic looking, sophisticated, and I mean, if k-middy's got one on, we know its the ultimate in ladylike-ness. 

They suit most shape types. If one is curvy, it can hide an unwanted waist with the peplum fabric and accentuate your voluptuous curves. And if your straight up and down, like me, it will give you a waist by creating the illusion of a clinched abdomen! magic.

I've tried on my fair share of peplums, skirts, tops, dresses, and while I prefer some more than others, I have never bought one because, well, when would I wear it? I'm not a very formal person, and this is a look which is hard to dress down.

Perfect for a night out? not for me! Still a bit too formal for my sort of socialising. However, if I was to wear this style, it would be at a summer wedding.

Sadly, I'm not attending one this year, but if I was this would be the best on-trend look to go for.

Without a doubt the best ensemble to accompany an elegant wedding outfit, especially in a floral print. I'm sure a few will be attending some matrimonies this season, so why not keep it simple and play it safe with a gorgeous peplum!

A few of my favourite celebrities Kate Middleton, Blake lively, Jennifer Anniston, and Emma Stone all rocking the trend.

How to create the summer wedding look I'm on about (below).

If your not the fascinator type, then a nice flower in a smart down do will pick out the colours in your floral print perfectly. Subtle make up to compliment the natural look, pinky lips, a bit of blusher and eye shadow, you can always add more for the reception party! 

Maybe add a thin necklace, and a few gold bangles or a ring, not too OTT on the jewellery so as to not take the focus away from your gorgeous dress.

And finally some tan wedges, avoid stumbling around the grass in heels, and just add to the summer theme, as well as matching just about anything!

And there you have it!

So if you've got a summer wedding, or even a smart occasion and your stuck for style choices? why not shop around for a peplum, I hope this has inspired you!
