OOTD - Misha In wonderland


“There is no better designer than nature.” 





Dress- Asos - another similar here

Although this dress looks nothing like the one Alice wore in Alice and wonderland, fall I can think about when I see it is the book/film, the dress is so enchanting and whimsical it would be hard not too link them. The colours are so earthy and merge well together there are two differing styles on the website with the other being slightly darker and with more of a floral print (both linked above) I do prefer the other colour however they are on low stock at the moment and only hold it in a size 14.

This Ultra drop waist mini dress is in fact only available in the petite range at Asos which is designed to fit women of 5'3/1.60m and under, however I am 5'7 and although the dress is a little short it still covers everything and doesn't look like it wasn't intended for a person of my height. I applaud Asos for creating such a unique dress, currently everything looks the same and it's always nice once in a while to choose a piece that breaks the mould, as famously said by Dr. Suess (who relates greatly to Alice and wonderland)  - "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?".

OOTD - Miss Marble



“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn” 
― Orson Welles 







Dress- Motel Rocks// Boots - Chockers


I absolutely love this dress from Motel Rocks, the skater/babydoll style is cute and girly and the colours of the tie dye marble print are so flattering especially on darker skin tones. This dress is perfect for the warm weather as the material is light and flowy. 


Tie dye is also very much on trend at the moment it's definitely in the stages where it's over populating the highstreet stores and getting slightly annoying like studs did a few months ago but it's predominantly on shorts and T-shirts and mainly dip-dye, so this dress is still individual, and you're almost guaranteed you won't see anyone wearing a similar dress to this on your travels. 

P.S - You can get 20% off at Motel Rocks by using the code 'mishymoo62'

OOTD - Patterned Trousers







Heels - H&M// Trouser - Matalan (similar 1,2,3,4)// Top- Mango (similar here)// Bag - Vintage


I literally live in leggings, so I love changing it up occasionally and wearing some vibrant trousers. Bright colours and prints are a must in the summer,this used to only apply to statement jewelry, dresses and tops,but I love how the bright pattern trend has transferred to trousers. 
They look very classy and put together with a plain simple top and some heels. 

I got these trousers from Matalan for just £4 (becoming quite the successful bargain hunter).
 This trend was first seen on the catwalks, showcased by designers such as Stella McCartney and Phillip Lim and I for one am delighted that its trickled down to the high street with Zara, Topshop and H&M in particular stocking many different patterns and colours.

To sum-up bright printed trousers-
 I'ts like standing out in a subtle way (a very skilled achievement)

OOTD - Cowgirl








Printed clutch/portfolio bag - Miss Selfridge (similar here)// Shirt -Zara (similar -1,2,3,4)// Hat - Tk Maxx (similar here)// Boots- Miss Selfridge (similar 1,2,3)// Leggings - Primark// Scarf - Alexander Mcqueen 


I kind of feel like a cowgirl in this outfit but a fashionable cowgirl nonetheless :). 
Cheetah and leopard print in particular have been very popular for a long time now (I challenge you to go in to Zara and NOT come across something covered in the print). Currently Zebra print is also gaining popularity (check out this coat which was featured in Kenzas.se blog, it's amazing !!), However  I've never been drawn to something with cow print on before as its quite rare in high street stores, but i completely fell in love when I saw this bag, the print and the dark brown leather (Faux i'm guessing as its from Miss Selfridge) go together perfectly. I think unfortunately It was a one off find as iv'e searched online for other nice cow print bags to link you too but either they are real cow skin (Yuk) and ridiculously expensive or extremely tacky. 

I adore these fedora style hats, I feel that they pretty much suit anyone although they are daunting at first. When I saw Millie Mackintosh (Made in Chelsea) sporting them in all different colours I thought they looked great but i'd never be able to pull one off. It took me about 4 months to actually try one on, whilst on a girls trip to London because we were messing about in the hat section of Topshop. After checking it out in the mirror a hundred times, I still didn't get one until I went to TKMaxx with my mum and she insisted i get it, now i'm in love with it and wear it a lot,especially when i'm having a bad hair day.

I don't know if you've noticed but I usually wear a plain black vest top under most of my tops, jumpers, shirts etc. This is simply because I absolutely hate my thighs, and always try to have them covered (Yes I know it's stupid but iv'e always had a complex about them).
 I just thought i'd fill you in as you will be seeing a lot more of the black vest top.
