Missguided Favourites

I think my addiction to shopping has hit an all time high. There are so many unreal clothes out at the moment and Missguided are definitely killing it this season. I have chosen a few from the new in section on their website which will be perfect for when the sun eventually decides to come out again! Missguided is one of my favourite brands as it is super affordable and they always have really good discounts on, including 20% off everything at the moment and 25% student discount.

This denim belted plunge dress is so cute! It is perfect for the summer season and would look unreal paired with espadrille wedges or if you want to be more casual a pair of Vans.

I love this two piece! It is so chic for a beachy holiday or city break to be paired with sandals or to dress it up you could pair it with barely there heels. It also comes in a gorgeous mint colour too. The shorts and top are sold separately.

I am really into denim at the moment, it has really made a come back. This white denim dress is so in right now and would look perfect paired with doc martins or heels, depending on what look you are going for. It also comes in blue and black.

If you are currently looking for an airport outfit then look no more. This is perfect for travelling in, super comfy but stylish and affordable. It also comes in black which is just as unreal.

These blue cigarette trousers are everything!! And they are available in so many colours. These trousers are so versatile, you can dress them up or down. Pair them with a crop top like in the picture below and some trainers, or with a white lace bodysuit and white heels. And they are really affordable!

My Favourite Dubai Restaurants

After the most amazing week of my life I am back from Dubai! It was my first time visiting this amazing city and it exceeded all expectations. Food is one of my favourite things and when I go away I love to eat at and visit different restaurants. In Dubai there are so many amazing restaurants where I could list them all but I have managed to limit it down to four of my favourites.

1. Pierchic

This was one of my absolute favourite places. It is a seafood restaurant that is located at the end of a pier, sitting on the sea. This restaurant had everything, the views, food and hospitality were just incredible. I haven intolerances to a few things and so when I eat out I often find it difficult as much of the menu contains what I can't have but at Pierchic they catered to my needs so well. I told them what I would like off the menu and they created it so that I could have it. If you are looking for a really romantic evening with gorgeous views of the Burj Al Arab and the Jumeirah beach then this is the restaurant for you. This is the link to its website- Pierchic. (Pictures have been taken from their website).

2. Burj Khalifa- Atmosphere.

Out of any restaurant that I have ever been to this was by far the most breathtaking. Atmosphere is located on the 123rd floor of the Burj Khalifa where you have views overlooking the whole city. We went for drinks in the lounge between 5:30-6:30 so we were able to watch the sunset and the Dubai fountain. The staff, food and views again were incredible. This was another restaurant that catered to my food intolerances really well, as they also adapted the menu so that I was able to have what I wanted. It was so romantic and the best night of my holiday. This is definitely somewhere to visit when you are in Dubai, I can't recommend it enough. Below are pictures of the view that we had when we were sitting in the lounge having drinks and when the Dubai fountain started. The link to the restaurant is here- Atmosphere.

3. Burj Al Arab- Nathan Outlaw at Al Mahara

We went for dinner here on our first night and it was a great way to start the holiday! The Burj is such a beautiful hotel and this restaurant was no exception. We were literally sat in front of a fish tank, where you could see the fish swimming around while eating dinner. The food and hospitality again where amazing. If you love seafood and want a bit of a different experience then I would highly recommend this place, as the food was some of the best I have ever eaten. You can find their website here- Nathan Outlaw. (Picture taken from their website).

4. Shimmers

And last but certainly not least is Shimmers. This is a much more chilled and relaxed atmosphere than the restaurants that I have previously mentioned where you can slip on some sandals and a summery dress and be ready to go. This restaurant was located on the beach where you had direct views of the Burj Al Arab, which looks so pretty at night time when it is lit up. This restaurant served meat and fish and was more of Greek/Turkish food and it was delicious! Afterwards you can sit by the sea and continue drinks and smoke shisha. It is lovely for both lunch and dinner and I would highly recommend it if you are visiting Dubai. The link to their website is here- Shimmers.

Dubai has now become my favourite place on the planet! If you need anymore recommendations for restaurants or things to do in Dubai comment below.

Simmi Shoes

After clearing out my wardrobe I have decided that I definitely need more summer based heels/shoes... I did not realise how many black shoes I actually had. I have loved this brand for a long time but have never done a blog post on them before so I thought it was about time that I did. Simmi Shoes sell such unreal shoes at super affordable prices and they have so many heels and wedges that are perfect for summer, from espadrille wedges to strappy stiletto heels.

You can find their website here. They have mid-season 70% off sale at the moment so be sure to check them out!

They have such a range of colours from coral to nudes to snake skin print. Here are a few of my favourites. Comment below and let me know what you think.

I love these Orange Lace up Espadrille Wedges. The colour is perfect for summer! Whether you want to wear them to a bbq or a pool party in Ibiza these shoes are a must.

These Patent Nude Lace up Heels are stunning. Nude heels are definitely one of my favourites and with the clear cross over front strap and heel it makes them that little more edgy than your standard nude heel. Pair these with denim shorts and a shirt or a midi shift dress, perfect for this season.

I absolutely love these heels, they are such a comfortable height, which can be dressed up or down and the neon strap just adds that little bit extra! Following on from my Oh Polly Neon post, which you can find here. These shoes would go perfectly with a neon top or trousers. These are super on trend at the moment.

If you are not really a fan of heels or want to opt for a flatter platform then these are for you. How gorgeous is this coral colour? These would look amazing paired with a tan and blue denim shorts and a matching coral top. They have so many unreal lace up shoes at the moment.
