I would like to say 'payday is fast approaching' but it's not. It's dragging like a b**** - however, when it does finally arrive these are some things I've been eyeing up to buy. As much as I'd like to buy all of these items and do a blog post of myself styling them, I am still in sixth form and earn every penny from a part time job at my local stationers. Big up Ryman. Therefore, I cannot, but I'm looking to buy as many things as I can with my measly wage and I'll be sure to post about them when I do. I'm also saving up my pennies for uni and it's quickly becoming a food for survival vs pretty clothes situation right now. I feel so old!                                                                                                                                        

I absolutely love the tropical crop top and I love the price tag even more; £4.50?!?!? yes then Forever 21. In fact, I love it all, I guess if I had to pick a favourite it would have to be the New Look cut out boots. Oh my god I have never loved a pair of shoes more in my entire life. NEED. THEM.                                                                                                                        
I imagine the black cut out playsuit to look gorgeous on a night out - let me know in the comments if you'd like to see an OOTN featuring that piece! Pastel pink is everywhere I look at the minute, like, how many bloggers have that pastel pink boyfriend coat? It is beautiful though to be fair. I'm not much of a 'pinky girly girl' but I am loving the trend at the minute and I think this pink crop top is beyond cute. It's only £8.00 as well- bonus! 

Is it just me or does anybody else think Topshop are becoming a bit more reasonable with their prices lately? Particularly for their tops. Definitely not complaining. What girl doesn't wish for the entirety of Topshop as their wardrobe?

Missguided Edit : Co-ord Crazy





As everyone is jumping on the two piece bandwagon (including me), here are my top 3 picks from Missguided's gorgeous co-ordinate collection. 

Pastel Blue Two Piece - (buy here) : http://www.missguided.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/106869/s/klinka-premium-high-neck-crop-top-in-brocade-print/category/987/

Missguided have quickly become one of my favourite online stores and this blue co-ordinate pretty much sells itself. I love everything about it; the high neck and sleeveless cut of the crop-top, the boyish shape of the shorts, the pattern and beautiful pastel blue colour. In this picture the print initially looks like a fine dogtooth (I thought it was) but it's actually a very cool retro print- it's called Brocade print on the Missguided website if that's any help? Can't say I've ever heard of it. 
Anyway, I adore this two-piece and when payday finally arrives, after the long struggle of awaiting it, I'll most probably be purchasing this beauty! I just think it's perfect for summer with a great ratio of boyish:girly. Love it. 

Monochrome Two Piece - (buy here) : http://www.missguided.co.uk/tereza-monochrome-bandage-waist-crop-top

I think this piece is the perfect edgy look for a night out and it's definitely something I'd go for. I personally wear a lot of black and white/neutral tones because; 1. I think they're flattering tones for all skin tones, and for the fairer skinned like me that is always a huge consideration when buying clothes. And 2. It's just sick. I just love the monochrome look. 
The cutouts on the waistband just make this for me. I am a sucker for a bit of cheeky midriff flashing. 

Dogtooth Blazer Combo - (buy here) : http://www.missguided.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/108222/s/kuanea-dogtooth-print-shorts/category/987/

I lovelovelove blazers at the minute and this peachy hue is something I'm missing in my wardrobe. The whole outfit is just insane. I love it. The shorts are something I can see myself wearing non-stop this summer and the blazer completely transforms the look from summer chill to evening chic. Missguided have styled it perfectly here with the plain white crop-top, proving less is definitely more.
