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'

Graduation Dress



"What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human 
contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language." 
- Miuccia Prada 






Dress - Ginger Fizz 

I love the style and the floral print on the dress I chose for my graduation it's so pretty, girly and perfect for a smart occasion as it isn't very revealing. The material has a silky feel which makes it very lightweight, (a must in the abnormally hot weather we are having in UK at the moment) especially as I was going to have to wear a huge gown over it. 

Deciding on a dress took a very long time as i'm quite picky and I feel that graduation is almost as important as your wedding day, it's a day where the pictures and memories will be kept forever and you don't want to remember yourself looking horrific. I decided it was definitely best to pick something classic and timeless, and I also wanted a lighter coloured dress as it would stand out under the gown, compliment my darker skin tone and be more suitable in the heat. 

These were my other choices :-

OOTD - Paisley




I love finding clothes which have been forgotten about, it's like going shopping in your own wardrobe.
- Mishymoo





Trousers - Zara  (You can try to find the same ones on ebay by searching 'zara palazzo trousers' or similar here -1..2..3..4) // Top - Topshop (plain vest top)// Heels - Asos







I bought these paisley print wide leg palazzo trousers from Zara a few months ago, for some reason I'd hidden them deep within my wardrobe and only just discovered them again recently when rummaging through. I am so glad these have reappeared and at the complete right time as they are perfect for summer, so vibrant, striking and elegant, best warn with mid heels (because the trousers cover your shoes you tend to look like a stilt walker if the heels are too high) and either a black or white plain vest top or t-shirt. 



Paisley in general is such an opulent print and when added to such a lovely silky material with the mix of royal blue and emerald green and the final product is beautiful.

OOTD - Dress of the jungle




Heels- H&M// Dress-H&M 


I adore this dress and have wanted it since it was full price at £19.99, I just never got round to
buying it but I am so happy about that now as I managed to get it on sale for just £10 :). I love the
pattern and that there's so much going on in the print making it extremely eye catching, from my experience I can guarantee people will be instantly drawn to it and many compliments received. A great thing about the dress is that due to it's complexity it can be easily just thrown on with any neutral heels and it would seem like a lot of effort was made to put the outfit together 



I've previously talked about the H&M conscious collection which uses more sustainable materials such as organic cotton and recycled polyester making it very eco-friendly. Most items in the range (mainly in store) feature tropical, leafy and mirrored patterns which are extremely on trend, these styles are seen everywhere at the moment and especially stores such as Zara and Mango.

Shine bright like a diamond ...





Although this dress is literally about 3 years old from Topshop, I wore it a few days ago for the first time on a night out and have absolutely fallen in love with it. This is definitely mainly to do with the bright, vibrant colour and has made me eager to purchase some more bright evening dresses. 

When I first bought the dress I was very skeptical as I thought the colour was too over the top for a night out (I would usually stick to dark or light neutrals), however I'm glad I gave it another chance. Bright colours compliment all skin tones and as long as the style of the dress is nice and flattering, can be very classy. 

Here are a few other dresses I've been coveting since I discovered my love for the brights :-

June Want List


“I love new clothes. If everyone could just wear new clothes everyday,
 I reckon depression wouldn't
 exist anymore.” 

― Sophie Kinsella, Confessions of a Shopaholic



I adore this bag, It is very similar to both the Zara City bag and Celine bags in style and shape.  I feel that although Monochrome is a big trend at the moment 
and trends quickly change, it is something that will never got out of fashion due to its basic nature, people have always and will always wear neutrals. I'm usually not too fond of silver hardware on shoes or handbags but I think the silver complements the black and white. 

Obviously being Michael Kors the bag is quite pricey at £315 but compared to other designer bags that's very reasonable and for the

quality it is definitely worth it. 



I First saw culottes/Skorts in a cobalt blue in Zara however they quickly sold out
before I had chance to buy them, many bloggers have the alternative from
  sheinside however it only came in white and I really wanted a bright colour to bring more attention to the unusual piece. I then discovered some on ebay from sellers with a lot of stock, the bright orange/red ones are most expensive at £40 as I believe they are the actual Zara culottes but if you don't mind 
about the label you can pick up a Skort in blue, white, light pink and black from this seller (link) for just £3.99 which isn't bad at all. 

I have always loved Kat&Bee wire rings but have always admired them from 
afar as they are quite expensive. However I think it's now about time to get one, all of their designs are so intricate and detailed, a statement ring which is sure to bring about a lot of compliments.
There are a few different styles currently on sale on asos, nearly all of their pieces include 
skulls which adds to the edgyness, I personally like the gold rings which have flower details like the Zerlina as it adds a bit of a girly element. 

These shorts are very similar to the Bambi and Manson denim shorts designed by Made in Chelsea star
Millie Mackintosh and although they don't come gift wrapped with a signed print of Millie
they are a fraction of the price and still gorgeous. Lace and printed denim shorts are very on trend 
at the moment particularly at festivals, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley sported a pair of swarovski encrusted Christopher Kane denim shorts last year at
 Coachella and this year they seem to be at the height of their popularity.






I really like the print on this t-shirt It is quite busy making it instantly eye catching. Printed floral/leafy patterns along with mirror imagery on  clothing is very popular right now, one highstreet shop with a lot of pieces similar to this style at the moment is H&M in their Conscious collection.







I think every month Louboutins are on the Want list in my head as they are such

beautifully crafted shoes. I hope every day that the Louboutin fairy will come and drop
some off, but as I doubt that will happen anytime soon I think i'll be adding these bad boys to
my collection next. I love how they have a bit of edge due to the spikes but they aren't too outlandish 
so they can be worn with practically anything. I'm not usually fond of heels with a pointed toe (mainly because I have quite big feet) but I think the style goes well with these shoes.
Just writing about these makes be realise how much a NEED them in my life asap 
(Need, might be a slight exaggeration,however I guess everybody needs shoes... brilliant justification :p). 

I think i'm turning around on the silver jewellery front, 
my go to's have always been gold, rose gold or
bronze, but this month I've loved all things silver, with this pretty statement bangle being one of them.  discovered it on the website Henryka.co.uk, they specialise in baltic amber and silver jewellery. I personally love amber as I find the way it is formed and how old it can be fascinating, baltic amber dates back 40-60 million years ago, 
can you imagine wearing something that old? ... it's incomprehensible 
but also pretty awesome !!


So there you have it my June Want list, there's only 9 days left
 in the month and I have none of these items yet,
 I think I better get a move on !!
