Battle of the Bright Dresses.

For the third part of the trilogy I decided to show you some of my favourite bright/neon dresses. Out of these three trends I definitely think that this one is my favourite! Bright colours just make everybody so happy including me- and just feel genuinely great. So let's get started!
I thought I'd start of with my favourite dress -I think there is going to be a lot of controversy over this, but of some reason I just love it!- The neon green against the black geometric pattern just looks so cool. You could pair this with some simple black heels so you don't detract or over complicate the outfit. On the collar there is some  embellishment, which I'm not really a fan of, but it looks like it could be easily taken off. Check this out at SheInside.
This is such a beautiful yellow, and with the appliqué lace detail it just looks gorgeous!  Ted Baker dresses are almost so lovely so I wasn't surprised to see this one was Ted Baker. This dress would be perfect to wear to any event casual or formal, as It think it sort of falls in-between these two categories of dresses. You  can pick this up from ASOS, it is no longer available from Ted Baker.
I thought I'd show both of these colours as they are both so awesome! The sweetheart neckline with the contrasting neon trim along the neckline and the collar makes the whole dress pop. My favourite one is the blue and the green as I am loving neon green right now! Both of these are available from Boohoo.
Again with neon green! I just can't get enough of it! Midi dresses that have a peplum are my favourite style for them, this is especially good if you are not very happy with your stomach, these will make you feel more comfortable with the tightness of the dress. I would style this exactly like how Missguided have styled it here, it looks very sophisticated a goes with the dress perfectly.
This dress is just beautiful, the lime green flowers -I hope count as neon- but they are just so cute! The rest of the fabric appears to be sheer which is so lovely and just makes the flowers stand out even more. You should definitely check out the dresses on SheInside, as both this dress and the first dress are my favourites and are from here.

Hope you enjoyed the last part of my trilogy!

Power of the Pastel Dresses.

After doing my 'War of the White Dresses' post, I thought it would be a good idea to do a trilogy featuring different trends for dresses during the Spring. No Spring would be complete without pastel dresses, I have to slap on some fake tan every time though, as pastel colours can really wash me out. I feel like the pastel trend isn't around quite as much as last year, but it'll always be a Spring must.
Now this dress, kills to trends at once! Pinafores are having a massive come back this Spring, and I can not wait to get my hands on some! This pastel sort-of peach colour just looks so cute with the already cute pinafore style. The only thing I would be worried about is that this could be seen as quite a childish colour, so with the pinafore as well, I could end up looking like a little kid! But adding some fierceness to it with a leather jacket would get rid of this problem. Check this out at New Look.
I love lace, especially when the sleeves are sheer. This beautiful salmon colour looks so good with the delicate lace, and the black belt splits up the paleness of the dress. I personally could not pull this off as there is not enough warmth in the colour for it to work with my skin tone. This is from Select for only £16.
This dress is so pretty, it's by far by favourite pastel colour. 
I have quite a few skater dresses, but this has the nicest shape to it that I have seen! Also the colour of it is just beautiful, mint is such a lovely colour. For the summer, with a black waist belt and some heeled black sandals, you have the perfect outfit. You can grab this dress from Missguided.
I think this dress counts as pastel doesn't it?! I don't even care though as I have to include it! Midi dresses are just incredible, I just don't think that I would be able to pull it off so I'm so short, but I'm definitely going to try it out. But anyway, this print is so beautiful and will really accentuate your hips. As it's from River Island it's a little pricey but it's so gorgeous who cares about the price! 
As some of you probably know, Prom season is coming up so when I saw this gorgeous I thought I should show you. This is amazing, the lilac contrasted with the metallic belt just makes the colour pop. Going through the whole Prom process myself I know it can be expensive but this dress being so beautiful and for only £44.99 is a bargain for a prom dress! This could even be worn to a garden party and you'd be the centre of attention, you can get this from Missguided.
Sticking withthe prom theme, if you fancied going for a short dress, this is just as nice as the previous one. The silver embellishment on the waist to the shoulders so just so lovely against the aqua blue. Pairing this with silver accessories would complete the outfit and be perfect for prom. Again at just a fraction of the price of non-highstreet dresses, New Look have done well.

Hope you enjoyed this, stay tuned to see some Neon themed dresses, becciixx.

War of the White Dresses.

Now, it's nearing the Summer and we are finally getting a peak of the very delayed Spring, so we are being bombarded by pale dresses at a frail attempt to show of any slight tan. I love a pastel coloured dress but I'm having a greater addition to white summery ones. They are around everywhere at the moment, I would love to include some from Primark but as they do not have a website I am presented with a problem. So if you're an addict like me then check out Primark!
I love basic, fun t-shirt dresses! This Others dress is just so cool -there's no other word for it- just awesome. I would tell you how to style it but I think ASOS have pretty much done what I have done with the styling. Some high-tops with a beanie is just the perfect way to wear for a t-shirt dress. And it's bang on trend with the monochrome looks.
Cut out maxi dresses are just beautiful and so classy. -You will see that cut out dresses play a large part in this post.- With lace detailing on the top and a gorgeous chiffon skirt, this is my idea of love. This would be perfect with bright shoes and a matching bag just the make to white stand out even more. I think this outfit would be ideal to wear for a romantic Summer date, or a fancy frock occasion. You can purchase this at New Look, -unfortunately it's not in the petite range.-
This really cute and stylish dress is perfect for a posh barbecue, or just to wear out to shopping by styling it down with a beige across the body bag, a long statement necklace and some beige brogues or gladiator sandals. The cut out detailing just makes the dress more interesting to look at by highlight the slimmest part of your waist. This dress is from Missguided.
This dress is so cute! It's probably the prettiest out of this post, but there's nothing wrong with that. The gorgeous embroidery at the top is just so eye catching, especially as the waist section is see-through showing  the pattern of it much clearer. I took a detour from the cut out pieces and went for some see-through lace instead. You can find this on H&M for only £20! -Which I think is a bargain!-
By now you're probably thinking, 'enough with the cut-out detail!' But that's just the problem I can't get enough of it, this time having the detailing on the shoulders gives it a more elegant feel and contrasts perfectly with the slightly sheer sleeves! It is a little pricey at £59 but it is very gorgeous I may consider paying it! This is from the American shop Romwe, but luckily they do free worldwide delivery, so get on it! 
I love the dresses with a sweetheart neckline and then a lace high-neck following down the arms, -so obviously this dress was going in the post as soon as I saw it!- What's just so amazing about it is the lace detailing is actually lace daisies which just makes me love it more! It's such a feminine dress, so if you wanted to toughen it up a leather gilet would be perfect. You can get this on Missguided, and while you're there check out this gilet from George!
This last dress is very unusual compared to the others, it almost reminds me of a nightie my Grandma would wear, but it pulls it off. Like the previous dress, there is a sort of sweetheart neckline but with sheer sleeves a chest which is very sophisticated. The collar embellished with pearls, I think, takes it across the boundary of a nightie to a really pretty Summers day dress. You can pick this up at ASOS.

Hope you liked some of these dresses, becciixx.

Oh Jewellery Sale.

Oh Asos, I bow down to your sales, especially when it comes to jewellery. I have such an obsession with jewellery, I may actually have to go to rehab for this addiction as I'm never going to be able to save for anything -ever.- So due the this obsession I was naturally drawn to the Asos sale of up to 70% off. I thought I'd show you a few of my favourite pieces, which are at great prices.

The first thing are these arm cuffs, I think these are so stylish and sassy -not sure why, that's just the word that springs to mind.- With a really simple cut-out maxi or a strapless maxi dress, they would be perfect to take the outfit from a day look to the night time. You could either wear both of them at once, or for more subtle sophistication just wear one.

The second thing I have here is this gorgeous chain link necklace. I love this style of necklace at the moment so this is perfect and I am seriously going to have to buy this! The sort of tarnished gold look adds to the coolness of the whole necklace, gives it a vintage type look. A necklace like this can add a really sophisticated feel to any outfit.

The skull bracelet is just so cute, I love skulls and rose gold so this is the perfect combination! The pearls in between, I’m not 100% sure that they are necessary, I think the bracelet would be just as nice without it. I really need some more skull jewellery so I’m going to start with this.

Spikes. This word just says it all, some people hate the whole spikes trend –and yes it can go overboard and make things look tacky- but this is the perfect amount to make this bracelet look classy. Again it is chain linked so this is right up my street.

I repeat spikes. This necklace may look a little OTT but I love it. Just like the chain link necklace this will spice up any plain top or dress and is an essential in all wardrobes. The gems on the other end of the spikes, I feel, somehow dials down the harshness of the spikes as they are very girly.

The last things are these chevron style rings, which are definitely my favourites out of the other things I have mentioned. For a pack of seven and a mixture of gold, silver, rose gold and black for this price is incredible. I have so many rings but nothing like this so I really will be getting these! Rings add so much to outfit in my opinion and layering up some of these on one finger may look cool.

Hope you're all well, becciixx.

Love for Bath & BodyWorks.

I will start this post of by saying I wish I lived in America, they have such cooler stuff then the UK! I would also like to say that I wish my house was in Bath& BodyWorks! I've watched so many youtube that feature products from there and I'm so jealous, I don’t even think we have an equivalent to it in the UK, which is really sad.

But luckily I have one product from there that I was given as a present from someone who went to America, it’s anti-bacterial hand gel. This may sound boring to the average person but it smells like smooth pumpkin which in my books makes anything incredible. I also find that it leaves your hands feeling really smooth which is a big plus as this isn't something hand-gel usually does. It’s also a really nice change to have an anti-bacterial gel that does smell like alcohol as it makes me feel really quite sick. There are also tiny little beads of blue stuff...I don't really know what these are for if I'm honest but they're pretty.
I need more of these things, it’s half empty and I think I may go crazy if it runs out and I have no more. I also really need some pretty candles -that obviously smell nice to- but mainly just for decoration. I've heard they are all really good prices as well which just makes me even more sad as I love Yankee Candle but they are just so expensive but beautiful. So to some up, I need to go to America, if anyone’s planning on going there, please smuggle me in a suitcase!

Until next time, becciixx.
