Nasty Gal Hot List #2

I'M BACK! I know it's been a long while but I'm officially back and ready to blog! I have handed in all of my uni work on time and my presentation a few weeks ago went better than I'd anticipated. I've spent my last few days at home which has been lovely. I had such a nice Christmas! I hope you all did too.

But now I'm back and ready to blog. To celebrate my return, I'm going to do a fun post on Nasty Gal. I've already posted about the American site but as I'm obsessed with it and lots of new items have been added since then, I thought I'd share with you a few of my fave things. Firstly there is the clothes:

1. The 'Shortcut' Chiffon Blouse is such a cute take on the traditional shirt. I love the cut outs along the front and the back - they add such a funky twist. The asymmetric hem just adds to the quirkiness which I love. The pretty ivory colour keeps it subtle and understated. At only £23.93, this top is such a steal!

2. The 'Harness' Jumpsuit is certainly something! I absolutely LOVE it. I love the classic black colour and the rolled up hems of the trousers - these details, as well as the v-neck front, give it a real androgynous look. Then the back comes as such a surprise! The sexy cut outs and metal detailing give it that WOW factor. I want to buy this jumpsuit and wear it with some heels with an ankle strap (like the JC's featured in this post below), silver rings and a chunky bracelet, matte-red lipstick and a scraped back pony-tail. Beautiful.

3. The 'Lotus' Dress is so cute! I love everything about it. It's vintage feel is something I'm really into. The bell sleeves, the cut out front, the delicate buttons and the flowing fit make it such a statement piece. This dress is so versatile! It is perfect for festivals: wear with a fedora hat to disguise unwashed hair, some Dr Marten boots, a waxed Barbour jacket and lots of jewellery. It is also perfect for nights out: add some huge heels (Topshop's Artemis Heels or Topshop's Austen Boots would be ideal), a slick of coral lipstick and flowing, wavy locks.

4. The 'Bead It' Bolero Jacket is one of my absolute favourites. I'm such a sucker for beading! I love the cropped look and the cut shoulders. It has such a laid back look despite being so glitzy. The black make it perfect to wear with everything. At £57.94, it's such a good price! I NEED to buy this jacket soon.

5. The 'Ibiza' Silk Wrap Dress is stunning. It's so breathtaking. The style of the dress is perfect - I'm constantly trying to find dresses with this cut because it's so flattering yet cool. The colour is AMAZING! Granted, it may be too loud for some and it isn't ideal for all situations but just look at it, it's DIVINE. I'd wear this in summer (it'd look perfect with a golden glow!) with some tan heels and a gold box clutch. Add a slick of matte-orange lippy and a delicate gold arm cuff and you're ready to go!

6. The 'Siouxsie' Crop Top is so wrong, it's right. I know a PU cropped, halterneck vest shouldn't be acceptable but my God, it is! I want to wear this with long, beaded chiffon jackets, high-waisted denim Levi shorts and chunky black sandals in Ibiza next summer. I want to wear it with a tartan print skater skirt and black platform boots for a night on the tiles. I want to wear it in the day time with a high-waisted maxi skirt, leopard print boots and a fur jacket. Basically, I want it. At £30.23, there seems no logical reason why I shouldn't have it. Order now? Yes please.
Then there's the accessories:

1. The Jeffrey Campbell 'Tilda' Platform Heels are so classy yet modern. I love the metallic detailing - the heels have such a futuristic look about them. I'd wear these with almost everything to dress up an outfit. I'm constantly trying to find my perfect strappy heel and these JC's are definitely a contender. Just make sure you have a nice pedi!

2. I know I shouldn't like these Jeffrey Campbell 'Ramble' Boots but I really, really do. The round toe and the black suede are very simple but contrasted with the chunky, wooden heel you get a very unique boot. At £100.77, they're a decent price for such a good quality pair of boots. Do I bite the bullet and buy them? That is the question.

3. The 'Shadowbox' Clutch is the PERFECT box clutch. It's the perfect size to hold - not mini but not oversized. It also has a convenient strap if you want to wear it different ways. Love, love love.

4. The Twisted Metal Cuff is amazing. It's so quirky - a real statement piece. It looks like a much more affordable version of a Celine or Hermes bracelet. At £12.60, it's a bargain! It looks so expensive! I want to wear this in the summer with a dark tan, bright nails and a white dress. Wonderful.
