Alice Takes A Trip

I remember coming across the online store Alice Takes A Trip on Instagram, and I've now got a wish list full of items from ATAT.




I love the mix of prints and quirky textures and styles. And the models all look really cool.


Lots of love, Nikki. xxxxx

Not My Photo's

















I came back from the South of France this morning; getting up at 3:45am to drive to Girona to get a 6:25am flight was not fun. But having an excuse to do nothing but reblog piles of stuff on tumblr means I came across some really nice photos. Kind of inspo-ey I guess.

Mini Haul


In a past post I said I'd given up shopping for lent, but as you've guessed from my last post I did break a week early (although I do think I still lasted the 40 days as I did start lent 2 weeks early). So in the past week I've bought a couple of things and I wanted to share them with you all. 



First is this Sirene ring from Bleached Jewellery, it was £3.50 which I thought was a great price for the size. I fell in love with the cool rock stone thing on the ring, each ring is slightly different because they hand cut each stone when you order it. It also has a stretchy metal band, so you can alter it to fit any finger.


I featured these rings in my last post, and I thought they were really simple and easy to wear. They are from Topshop and online they are £6.50, but I actually got them for £2.50 in the sale at my local Topshop store, so it's probably best to pop into a store to see what they've got in their sale, you never know what you mind find; Topshop sales I find are very hit and miss. These 3 plain rings are also midi rings, as you can tell by the above photo, of my hand, and they look really cool with everything I've tried at the moment.


Another piece of jewellery is this necklace from Bleached Jewellery again, it was £3.50 so a bargain and it can be worn as a loose necklace but I like to wear it as a choker. I don't think they sell the Hamsa one anymore, but they have other versions of this necklace, and just loads of cool pieces that are worth checking out. 


The first piece of clothing I got was this black a-symmetrical skirt from Topshop, that I can't actually find online, but it was £20 and I thought it was a great price for Topshop and for such a cool cut skirt. I find that cropped tops work better with this than tucking a regular shirt into it, but it looks really cool and edgy with certain pieces, for example my leather jacket. 


From Motel Rocks I got this cool Boxy crop top, I love the colour and the pattern (I have a dress with the red version of this pattern) and it looks really cool with black bottoms and my chocker necklace. It was £25, but you can get a 20% discount with my discount code 'simpleenough'. I read the reviews and a lot of them mentioned the head hole being a bit tight to actually get over your head, but as I have a bigger than average head (yep, laugh at me) I didn't think much of it and with a regular sized head I'd imagine the hole would be fine. :D One thing that did worry me was that I ordered a medium, but got sent a small, but it actually fits perfectly and still covers the necessary areas. 


Lastly, I got these New Look cut out chunky sandals, £27.99. I did want the lower strapped ones, but they had sold out in my size so bought the high topped ones, but I absolutely love them! I haven't actually worn these out the house yet as they got delivered this afternoon, but they are really comfortable so far and easy to walk in, and look really cool. One thing I would mention is that I got a size 5 but they are slightly too big. But other than that they are the perfect shoes for spring/summer as I can wear socks and tights with them when it's a bit chilly or bare footed when it's warmer.

Hope you enjoyed this post, I so much prefer talking about what I actually own; and if your nosey like me you'll enjoy these more personal posts too. 
Don't forget I do have a Motel Rocks discount 'simpleenough' like I mentioned earlier, so use that to get 20% off all your orders, and I will be back again next week!

Lots of love, Nikki. xxxxx

Motel Rocks - Top 5

I bang on about motelrocks.com a lot and so I've decided it is time for us to revisit and see what my top 5 pieces at the moment are


It's still a bit chilly here in England, so long sleeves are still essential. The print adds a cool edge to a simple baggy shirt, and the batwing sleeves keep you a bit more cosy and comfortable.


Again, the print is amazing on this top, and crop tops are so on trend right now (as you will all probably know) I like the sleeve length on this too, as it will keep till the very end of summer.


This is kind of different for Motel Rocks, as their usual style is tight and short, so this t shirt blouse hybrid definitely caught my attention as it looks super comfy and the yellow is such an uplifting vibrant colour.


I have a dress in this print, and I love it so much cause it's so versatile. It looks really cool and done up for night, but then it looks perfect as well during the day (+ with jeans as I use the dress as a top sometimes). I also like the idea they've come up with here, turning a regular slip into a cute little crop vest.


Slips are really big right now, and so is tartan, and combined this dress has done it perfectly. The cute pale pink wont make you look like a trend whore and will be super cute in the spring and summer with sandals or boots, or even tights when it's a bit chillier.

Don't forget use the code 'simpleenough' to get 20% off at motelrocks.com, so if this has given you a taste of something you like I'd definitely advise checking it out.
Lots of love, Nikki xxxxx

Ps, I shall hopefully have a new post up on Friday of my small, but exciting, shoe collection (:

Spring Wishlist

For Lent, I have given up shopping! (Although I began at the end of February, when I got paid) And it is very difficult; I watch a lot of fashion and beauty vlogs online, window shop, browse online, read a lot of magazines etc. To fulfil my desire to shop, blogging about what I want is the best alternative. So here goes:




I've got a massive obsession with Regal Rose recently, as it's been literally everywhere. Every celeb, blogger and magazine is raving about Regal Rose, so I had to get on the band wagon. Necklaces are my most worn items of jewellery, and I thought these two were so beautiful. 
The top one is the Rawa. Crystal Quartz Necklace - £22
And the bottom one is the Orsa. Herkimer Diamond Necklace - £16



This Topshop Fruit Print Peplum Cami, £26, isn't my usual style but the print on this caught my eye and I think it will be great this summer for a casual look. And the peplum will cover any unwanted bloating from eating too much on holiday - it's just cute and a bit unusual.


The Motel Trudie Button Up Playsuit in Sun Moon Stars Print is such a cool piece, and the print is big hit with a lot of fashion bloggers recently. At £40, it may seem a bit expensive, but this can be worn for lots of occasions and climates so will be worth the price. I think playsuits will be a staple for me this spring/summer, and this is a bit grungy which is more edgy.



Urban Decay has been the brand on everybody's lips for a while now, and I am really lusting over the colours on the Naked 3 eye palette. I am getting into make up a lot more recently, and this item is on the top of my beauty wish list. 


Another big item at the moment is the Instax Mini 8 from Fujifilm, which comes in 5 different colours. 90's has been big for a while now, and this clumpy polaroid camera definitely embraces the 90's feel. At just under £70 this isn't a bargain piece, but I think it is definitely worth the price, considering the hype and how much everyone is loving this at the moment. I need to get my hands on one, asap!


Lastly, these Out From Under Joyce Double Buckle Strappy Heels from Urban Outfitters are my favourite piece in this wishlist!I love chunky black boots and heels, and Urban Outfitters sell the best of the best for clumpy shoes. These shoes are really versatile, you can wear them with a girly dress, or jeans and a tee, or on a night out, so many outfit possibilities with these baby's!

Fingers crossed Lent goes quickly, so I can at least buy one of these items soon. 
Lots of love, Nikki. xxxxx
