FASHION : GOING OUT WISHLIST

Dress: Quiz // Bag : Quiz // Heels: New Look // Dress: Topshop // Dress: Topshop 

With summer coming up there's always lots going on such as weddings, graduations and many more occasions.  I tend to struggle when it comes to going out as I never know what to wear. I like to buy things like dresses and going out outfits but I only really buy them when I know i've got an occasion coming up. I know a few people who have lots of going out dresses in their wardrobe just in case they do get invited out and it saves them running round like a headless chicken looking for an outfit, which is what I tend to do every single time I go out. I like to buy a new outfit when i'm going to a wedding or party because usually they have a photographer or people are always taking photos and I like my outfit to be something new that I haven't worn before. As i've recently been loosing weight I think i'd be more confident to wear something a little tighter like a bodycon style as before I used to go for skater style dresses. I'd like people to notice my hardwork and that I have actually lost weight.

This gorgeous dress from Quiz * is perfect, I really like the lace top and think this would be really flattering, it's nice that it has sleeves as its still quite chilly right now and some people are conscious of their arms.  I also picked out this bag from Quiz, I really struggled to find a nice bag for my prom and this would have been perfect. This was exactly what I wanted, you could use it for loads of occasions as it's silver and would go with everything. Quiz have a huge selection of Going Out Dresses on their website. This blue dress from Topshop is a really pretty colour for a spring/ summer wedding. I think this pale blue suits blondes aswell. I'd wear this dress with a strappy pair of black heels like these from New Look and a nice black bag. The Black dress from Topshop is really nice aswell this is more of an A line shape which is a really flattering shape. You would be able to wear this for loads of different events.

TOP PROM PICKS FROM NEW LOOK

Above: All New Look 

Right now New Look have a gorgeous selection of prom dresses to choose from. I really struggled to find a prom dress and ended up trying loads on. I wanted my dress to be perfect, I had an idea of what I wanted but I just couldn't find it. 
New Look have a huge range and they have many different styles, shapes and colours to choose from. I thought i'd pick out a few styles and some accessories to match. First I picked the long turquoise strapless style. This is a gorgeous prom style and is such a lovely spring/summer shade. The embellishment is really nice on the trim and the waist is really flattering. 
Next I picked a shorter style, this is more of a skater dress. The lace detailing makes the dress elegant and smart. This would be so easy to get accessories for, I'd pick a colour to brighten the outfit, I love the red/ orange sandals I picked out. They would brighten the dress up. 
Next I picked this long black dress, again a more elegant style. Lots of people like to wear maxi dresses because they are comfy, This one has a split in the leg to make it more luxe. Again you could add colour to this outfit or maybe try silver accessories to dress it up. 
Finally another shorter more casual style. You could dress this up with accessories or if your after a more subtle prom dress this would be perfect and you could wear it again. I love the Jacquard style I think it's really flattering. 

Accessories are so important for a prom, a clutch bag is the perfect prom bag, big enough for your lipstick and your phone so you can take loads of selfies. Jewerllery is another great way to dress up your outfit, I went for simple silver jewellery as I had alot of embellishments on my dress. 

My prom was amazing and i'd say to anyone who isn't sure about going that its such an amazing experience. We went all out for our prom, I had a big circle of friends so we hired a limo and all got really big prom dresses. We met up at school and took loads of photos together. It was so lovely, when we got to the venue we had more photos outside and then went inside. Everyone was dancing and it was just so much fun. You all go your separate ways after prom and it's such a great night to say goodbye to friends and to have a good time. Exams are over you can just party! We had such a great night dancing to old cheesy songs but it was brilliant and I wouldn't change a thing.

 Necklace: Primark // Bag: Primark // Sunglasses: Primark // Cardigan: Primark // Vest: New Look//
Skirt: New Look* // Bobble: New Look // Earings: Forever 21 // Jellies: New Look*


I'm so excited for the summer, I have my holiday booked and a cheeky weekend away at the end of may so i've been picking up loads of bits and pieces to wear this summer. I was given the chance to pick a few items from New Look for the summer. I had already had my eye on this skirt so I had to get it. It's a lovely palm print bodycon skirt in monochrome colours so it will literally go with anything. I've just popped it on with a black vest today but i'm very excited to try it with a colourful top or accessories.The skirt is only £9.99 but I think it looks alot more expensive. I also popped a pair of white jellies into my basket! I'm loving jellies right now, this is my second pair and i'm already eyeing up this mint pair from New Look. They are only £9.99 which is a bargain! I bought a pack of these bobble with bows the other day as I think they are well cute and so effortless. I think this coral one will actually go with so many things that i'm taking on holiday.

I really love coral dresses I have about 3 but I had to have this one. I love the crochet detailing across the waist and the cross straps on the back. I think this dress can be worn on the day or night. You can dress it down with some flip flops for the day or with jewellery and sandals for the night. I think this look is rather casual but I felt really comfortable. I love my zig-zag clutch bag and think i'll be using this and teaming it up with so many outfits this summer. Again i'm wearing my jellies cause there just so comfy! I wore them yesterday when I went shopping. The straps on this dress are adjustable and theres a zip on the side to make it easy to get on and off. The dress is £17.99.  Make sure you check out New Look for some amazing summer fashion
