Jeans: New Look

I Have Enough Clothes Already...Said NO GIRL EVER!!!

Missguided are getting it so right at the moment! Pastels, florals, tartan and lace...I am loving it all! So much so that i've concocted a little wishlist to share with you all...


Crop tops are going nowhere (thankfully). The first two here are in keeping with the very popular 90's trend whereas the lace number has more of a romantic and sexy feel. Can I have all three..?!

Lilac Crop Top €12.99
 

Mint Bralet €12.99

Strapless Lace Bralet in Black €29.89

 

Ripped Boyfriend Jeans €38.99

Everybody loves a good pair of Boyfriend Jeans...add some rips to be right on trend for Spring/Summer '14...I adore these ones from Missguided buuuuut I'm on the lookout for a white pair myself, for the summer time :)

Lime Checked Midi Skirt €12.99

This Midi Skirt is amazing...So many ways to wear it and what a bargain!! I would style it with a loose white cami tucked in, going to dinner with the girls or pair it with a pastel lemon or matching lime green crop top for a night on the town. A pair of white strappy sandals and away we go.

Lemon Dogtooth Skirt €19.49/ Crop Top €19.49

A MATCHING SET!!! :o and in one of my favourite colours of the season...I must have this!! 

Dogtooth A-Line Skirt in Lilac €19.49

 

Tartan A-Line Mini Skirt in Baby Pink €25.99

Channel your inner 'Cher Horowitz' (Clueless) with either of these A-Line Minis. Choose a print, Tartan or Dogtooth...both in pastel colours for a fresh spring look. These beauties can take you from day to night...You can't go wrong!!

Mesh Panel Strappy Midi Dress in White €32.49

I have a wardrobe full of Dresses, but we can never have enough...right? These are just 2 of the gorgeous dresses missguided have to offer. 

Neon Floral Mini Dress €32.49

I love Jumpsuits...they offer a comfortable yet classy night time look. Jumpsuits are also ideal for last minute nights out when we don't have the time to slap on the tan...This pink one is just perfect! The belt that's included sinches the waist for a slimming effect. Add some statement jewellery, a sleeked back hairdo and of course the most important accessory of all, a cosmopolitan in your hand!! The night is yours

If you want to get them pins out for the summer...a Playsuit is what you need. Playsuits, because of their design allow you to wear them a little shorter than you might get away with in a dress. This rose print one is so feminine and beautiful. Style it with black tights, army boots and a knitted cardi for the day time or just simply a killer pair of heels and a clutch for hitting the clubs. The chiffon fabric is very light, so don't forget to pack it in your suitcase for holidays.

Rose Print Chiffon Playsuit €38.99 

Belted Jumpsuit in Pink €36.39

Green Tartan Oversized Shirt Dress €32.49

The Oversized Shirt seems to be everywhere at the moment, I like this tartan green one because the colour will take you all the way til Autumn/Winter. Something different but still in keeping with the tartan trend. Going shopping? Why not throw on some black knee/thigh high socks, flat boots and a bowler hat...All other shoppers will be envious of your edgy rocker style. 

Caged Heel Sandals in Lilac €36.39

Faux Leather Satchel in White €25.99

There's no point having a wardrobe full of gorgeous items without the right Accessories to finish the outfit. This white satchel is both practical and stylish, it goes with almost everything listed above. I love strappy sandals and these lilac caged version add a quirky twist to an otherwise simple design.

I am practically drooling all over the keyboard looking at these fab pieces online...These are only 15 items from a much larger wishlist... :) Like any other girl, there isn't a bank account big enough to satisfy my fashion needs. I did however treat my self to a couple of the items shown above (woops!)
All of these items are from Missguided and you can find them here:

Happy Shopping ;)

Top 5 Oscar Red Carpet Trends

It's the most eagerly anticipated red carpet event of the entire award season and this years 86th Annual Academy Awards did not disappoint. As the Hollywood stars walked the pre show red carpet, it was apparent that they had brought their style A-game. As more and more stars arrived it became clear which trends were rocking this years Oscar red carpet. Lets take a quick look at the top 5 trends of the night....

1. Strapless

Strapless gowns were all over the Oscar red carpet. Some starlets opting for a sharp and structured look such as Amy Adams (Gucci), Jennifer Lawrence (Dior) and Kristen Bell (Roberto Cavalli). All three pulled their hair back and wore minimal jewelry, however Kristen opted for a much more embellished dress than the other two who went for sleeker looks. Others that chose the strapless trend went for more feminine versions such as Sandra Bullock who wore a draped navy (Alexander McQueen) gown with a sweetheart neckline, Margot Robbie (Saint Lauren) wore black with a large sequined bow at the back and model Chrissy Teigen (Naeem Khan) who opted for a full skirt with a pink floral pattern was right on trend for spring/summer '14.

Amy Adams - Gucci

Jennifer Lawrence - Dior

Sandra Bullock - Alexander McQueen

Chrissy Teigan - Naeem Khan

            

2. Neutral Embellishments 

The nude toned embellished dress is seen on every red carpet. Thankfully, the ladies of Hollywood kept it classy and steered clear of any peek-a-boo effects for the Academy Awards!! Oscar winner Cate Blanchett looked elegant in this romantic (Armani Prive) gown which was dripping in Swarovski Crystals and giant sequins. E! News host Giuliana Rancic looked like a fairytale princess in her full tulle skirt and embellished bodice (Paolo Sebastian). Angelina Jolie shimmered on the red carpet in a long sleeve (Elie Saab) dress that featured sheer panelling and a plunging V at the back. Naomi Watts proved how sexy it can be to cover up, as she strutted her stuff in a white (Calvin Klein) fitted dress with capped sleeves and a high neckline.

Cate Blanchett - Armani Prive

Angelina Jolie - Eli

Naomi Watts - Calvin Klein

3. LBD

Black isn't usually the go to colour for a red carpet event in spring, considering the runway shows in New York, London and Paris were full of many vibrant colours to choose from. This Oscar red carpet however was covered in it. When a black gown is done right, it is classy, elegant and show stopping. Here are a few ladies that did it right on the night. Anne Hathaway usually favors a sleek, figure hugging silhouette (I would too if I had a body like that) and this red carpet was no different. She wore a (Gucci) dress similar in style to the one she wore last year to the Oscars. It had the same halter neckline and long slit at the back. A bit of edge was added with the silver stud-like embellishments on the bodice of the dress. The black looked elegant with her pale skin and cropped hairdo. A heavily pregnant Olivia Wilde showed up in a black high collar (Valentino) gown. From the front it was simple and covered up, her face highlighted with a beautiful drop earring, but in the back was an unexpected cut out detail and contrasting white train. This next woman that opted for a black gown, knocked it out the ball park. Charlize Theron. Her mermaid style (Dior) dress featured a plunging neckline, invisible straps and a pleated train. Just bordering 5ft 10inches, Charlize looked  statuesque posing for pictured in this gown. 

Anne Hathaway - Gucc

Olivia Wilde - Valentino

Charlize Theron - Dior

4. White Jackets

Fashion is not just for women! More and more, men are starting to take a real interest in how they look and in current fashion trends, and I love it. Most men opt for the classic black tuxedo, which is perfectly fine, nothing sexier than a man in a tux. But this Oscar red carpet we saw quite a few taking a chance on the white/ivory jacket. Ryan Seacrest wore Burberry, black trousers, white shirt black bowtie and ivory jacket. Next to show up was Jared Leto who switched it up a bit with a satin, burgundy coloured bowtie and crisp white jacket. Matthew McConaughey looked dapper accepting his Oscar in his black Dolce and Gabbana waistcoat, black bowtie and cream jacket. All three men looked sharp and fashion forward in their white blazerss. However, to all men out there wishing to try something new, please, please do not try to imitate Pharrells short tuxedo look?? It's never ok! #disaster #notevengettinapicture

Jared Leto

Matthew McConaughney - D&G

5. Plunging Necklines

This was by far my favourite trend of the night. As we'v just seen, Charlize Theron was one that opted for this trend but she's not alone. Julia Roberts also decided to take the plunge in a black lace (Givenchy) peplum gown. The panel of lace covering the plunge allowed this look to stay age appropriate for Julia. Its an understated sexiness. A lady making headlines, not only for her award winning acting but for her amazing sense of style is Lupita Nyong'o. This beauty went for a (Prada) dress that ticked many of the spring/ summer 14 trends. A plunged neckline, pastel colour and pleats. She pulls it off so effortlessly. Personally the headband wasn't for me but she still looked stunning. My best dressed of the entire night, was the sensational Kate Hudson. I love this woman. Metalic dresses were another trend clogging the Oscar red carpet (another trend but could only choose 5) but Kate knocks them all out of the water in her jaw dropping white/silver (Atelier Versace) gown. The dress featured a deep V plunging neckline in the front, and a mid length draped cape complete with shoulder pads at the back. She was the picture of old Hollywood glamour, with her side swept loose curls and satin train. She finished off the look with smokey eyes and a killer pose. She can do no wrong!

Julia Roberts - Givenchy

Lupita Nyon'o - Prada

Kate Hudson - Atelier Versace
