Miss Selfridge Wish List | Pastels & Florals

Miss Selfridge Florals Pastels Fashion Accessories Wish List Summer 2014 Belle-amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

For years now Miss Selfridge has been one of my favourite places to shop for the latest fashion pieces as I've always been drawn in by their cute girly prints and gorgeous accessories! The other day I was having a browse through their website and found so many lovely pieces that I would just love to own! So I thought it was only natural to create a wish list post and share my fashion finds with you all. As you can see I went for a very specific theme here and seemed to only pick out floral and pastel pieces - for those who know me this probably won't come as much surprise!

1. Hawaiian Print T-Shirt | LINK | & Hawaiian Print Mini Skirt | LINK |
Despite co-ordinating pieces being such a huge trend recently, I haven't actually got round to picking up a set of my own! I spotted this t-shirt and skirt combo  and thought the print was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for the summer. I can imagine this would look amazing with a pair of heels and totally dressed up for a night out with the girls!

2. Floral Printed Skort | LINK |
 Since originally spotting these floral skorts on the website, they have now become a new welcome addition to my wardrobe! I love the print on these and I think they can be easily dressed up or down depending on what you pair them with. I actually wore them out this weekend with a loose black cami and black wedges and I loved how it looked! What I love about skorts is that they look like a super cute swishy skirt, yet you have the security of them being actual shorts - always good for a windy day haha! 

3. Blue Baroque Floral Print Top | LINK |
What really drew me in about this top are the colours and that it has little sleeves. I own so many cami style tops at the moment so I'm trying to add some tops with actual sleeves into my wardrobe and I think this would be a great piece to have. I also like that the pattern is quite simple and muted which means you can just pair the top with some light wash jeans for an effortlessly pretty outfit! 

4. Mid Wash Crochet Trim Shorts | LINK |
The denim shorts from Miss Selfridge have all been really cute recently and this pair in particular caught my eye! I like how there's a small amount of crochet detailing at the bottom and I think paired with the top above it definitely adds a little something to the overall look.

5. Floral Overlay Playsuit | LINK |
I always find blue and purple florals to look so lovely on clothes so this playsuit really appealed to me! I think it's really sweet and the kind of piece you can wear for any occasion. I've always been a huge lover of playsuits as well as they're so easy to wear and I definitely prefer them to dresses!

6. Coral Embellished Vest | LINK | 7. Rose Floral Jogger | LINK |
The next 2 pieces I found seemed made a really cute outfit, so I thought I would talk about them together! I really do love my corals so this top would be something really simple to add to my wardrobe that would go with pretty much anything - especially these floral joggers! As the colour of the top picks out the corals in the roses on the joggers, I think these 2 would look so lovely together! Plus these floral joggers would make a great transitional piece for Summer/ Autumn when the evening get a bit cooler yet you still want a pretty Summery print!

8. Pastel Green Stone Necklace | LINK | 9. White Stone Flower Necklace | LINK |
Miss Selfridge has always been my favourite shop to buy jewellery from as it's quite inexpensive and is good quality. I do mainly buy my jewellery from their sale but these 2 necklaces both look too pretty to pass up! I have many statement necklaces in my collection but nothing like these 2 and I think they would be perfect for glamming up a Summer time outfit!

10. Eden Summer Flat | LINK |
I have been on the hunt for this style of shoe for quite some time and I keep looking at these Miss Selfridge ones! I'm not too sure if they're classed as sandals but they are definitely they kind of shoe that everyone needs in the Summer. I think these would look really cute with midi dresses or a simple Summer's day outfit - I will definitely be on the hunt for these next time I'm in Miss Selfridge.

11. Pink Flower Head Band | LINK |
Flower head bands are perfect for festivals and weddings, yet even thought I'm not going to either any time soon I still really want one of my own! I think they look so cute on and if I could pull off wearing one everyday, I totally would!

12. Pastel Stone Ring Pack | LINK |
Finally I spotted these really cute pastel stone rings and thought they would help complete any outfit during the Summer time! As you get a selection of shades to wear, you can swap and change depending on what you're wearing or you could wear all 3 for some pastel bling overload!

So these are some of the things from the Miss Selfridge website that I have really been loving! If you don't shop at Miss Selfridge very much I totally recommend that you pop into their store more often as they always have such a lovely selection of clothes and accessories to choose from! Thank you for reading and do let me know in the comments your thoughts on my Miss Selfridge wish list.

Spring & Summer Fashion | Floral Prints

Spring Summer Fashion Floral Prints Belle-amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

When it comes to the Summer time, floral prints are an absolute staple in my wardrobe. In all honesty I love wearing florals all year long, but there's something about the warmer weather where I like to wear brighter and more colourful flower prints! I thought I would put together a few outfits to show you all some of my favourite floral pieces I have found on the high street recently plus different items you can pair them with.

In each of the outfits I have kept with the same sandals purely because they are my favourite things to wear in the Summer time and they are all that I live in! Of course you can swap them up for flats, flip flops, wedges or even heels, this is just what I would pair these outfits with!

I spotted these gorgeous bright blue and pink floral shorts a few weeks back in New Look and luckily there was one pair left in my size. I absolutely adore the colours in these shorts and they definitely scream Summer time! As these are quite a bright print, I've paired them with a simple loose fitting cami from Oasis - this way you can easily dress up the outfit with a statement necklace. I also love wearing my denim jacket with this outfit when it gets a bit chillier in the evenings. This definitely dresses down the outfit but I think it makes it cute for evening BBQs or parties. I think this is a great outfit for the day when worn with sandals or flats, but it can also be worn with killer wedges to make a night time outfit!

After weeks of hunting for a simple yet affordable kimono for my holiday, I came across this really cute one in the teen's section of New Look! At only £12.99 is was pretty much half the price of the ones sold in the women's section plus as it had such a sweet print, I couldn't pass it up. Floral kimonos are great for adding pattern and texture to a really simple outfit or can be thrown over a bikini when you're relaxing by the pool. As the background colour of this kimono was black, I decided it would look best over a simple black cami which I tucked into my Miss Selfridge denim shorts. I love that these shorts have a really pretty trim and a slightly scalloped edge as it adds that extra bit of detail to the outfit!

To add a bit more floral-ness to the outfit, I paired it with one of my current favourite necklaces which is a daisy chain choker. This necklace can be pretty much worn with anything and I really love how well it goes with this outfit!

A couple years ago I would be absolutely terrified to wear an outfit like this; crop tops and bright coloured jeans were a no go for me! But over the past few months I've become a lot more confident in the clothes I wear and become comfortable with wearing brighter pieces - especially for the Summer! As soon as I spotted this crop top in Forever 21 I knew I had to have it and at just £6.50 you can't really go wrong! I knew instantly that these jeans would go perfectly with this top as they pick out the coral flowers in the print. If you are worried about showing off your belly, then this top goes really well with high waisted shorts (I also wear this top with the denim shorts in the photos above), jeans or skirts. I can't wait to go back to Forever 21 and pick up some more of these tops in different prints, I think they're so pretty for the Summer!

Thank you for reading today's fashion post, I really hope you enjoyed it! I want to keep the content on my blog quite varied so if you enjoy my fashion posts and would like to see me show other fashion trends with high street pieces then do let me know in the comments below!

Nails Of The Day | Floral

Floral Primark Nail Wraps £1

I've always loved the effect of nail foils/ wraps and Minx nails but I didn't want to spend around £10 on a set and not being sure if I would ruin them or if they would even last a day. I recently saw a review on the Primark nail wraps saying they were actually very good for £1, so I decided to pick up a floral set to try out. There are quite a few different styles you can pick from from tribal patterns to neon colours, but personally I think these ones are the prettiest!
These wraps are a black base with pink and yellow roses on which I think are very pretty for anytime of the year. You get 20 different sized strips per pack which means you can have them on your nails or toes!
They apply very easily. You select the wrap which most fits your nail and you can trim it so it fits perfectly. You then warm the strip up by rubbing it, peel it off and then apply it to your nail. Once you have smoothed it down, you file the edges to remove the excess strip. Very quick and simple! 
I don't think these will last very long on the nails, probably about a day as they may come off in the shower. But, I think these would be perfect for a special occasion where you'd only need them for that day.
I will definitely be picking these up again, they're a perfect way to have effortless and pretty nails!

Have you tried the Primark nail wraps?
