Love from Misbehave! We salute you!



Every girl needs a go to website when they need some retail therapy that won't result in them spending every penny they have left from payday, don't they?
Love From Misbehave!, one of the brands confirmed to be showcased at the High Street Fashion Week in London next month, is one of the only online boutiques that I can visit when I'm tight on cash and still get my fix of gorgeous accessories!

But to make our lives even better, owner and founder Allie Ohyoma (@LoveMisbehave), has introduced a new product that she says will provide a low-budget way to help people keep their style constantly fresh and on trend! This my friends, is called The BehaveBox! 



Each box is £10 and contains 5 items of jewellery that follow a particular key trend of the season. And although you will get a box of surprises, you can still have control over certain things - for example, if you don't wear earrings or gold pieces, you will never get them! You will also never get a duplicate of something you've previously bought on the site.. Genius!



Personally I'd say my favourite aspect of the BehaveBox is the surprise of finding out what jewellery is waiting for you and I was not disappointed! As you can see, I got some amazing pieces including the gorgeous 
Dapper Skull Necklace and Lightening Bolt Studs which are the perfect addition to any outfit! 



As well as being one of the lucky few who got to experience the BehaveBox in action before it is released, I was also lucky enough to get an exclusive interview with Allie to find out a little more about the brand and what has inspired her to sell the amazing items!


So Allie, what made you want to create an online boutique?

I was going through a little bit of shopper's fatigue always visiting the same places. While I love Primark, H&M, River Island, etc I had just got used to being an auto pilot when I went out shopping and going to the same sections of the same shops buying the same styles of items.  I wanted to create a place where affordable truly meant affordable and offered a new shopping experience to people with quirky, experimental items. 



What makes Love From Misbehave! unique to the other online boutiques?

I put a lot of effort into keeping the pricing low. With LOVE FROM MISBEHAVE! purchases, you are balancing quality with budget and getting more for your money. Everything I sell is something I would personally wear and wouldn't ever send anybody anything that I feel is below par. I like the feeling of getting a bargain, so I try and translate that over to the site too, by doing things like offering free items with certain purchases. 



Who inspires you?

I have a ridiculous amount of inspirations. I look up to brands like Nasty Gyal and ASOS as well as the works of designers that we all know and love, like Marc Jacobs. I read a lot of independent fashion magazines from around the world which is a really good way to find out about indie brands/labels which is always fantastic. I get a lot of inspiration from bloggers and I'm so appreciative of how lovely and receptive the community has been to LOVE FROM MISBEHAVE! I love seeing people express themselves with outfit posts and their photography; the little glimpses of different lives are quite special. 


  And as well as being kind enough to let my fabulous readers find out a bit more about her and creating the BehaveBox which I know you's are all dying to buy, Allie has given me a code to give you all 10% off unlimited purchases until Monday!


YAYWEEKEND



So get yourself on the Love From Misbehave! website and get spending your money because as well as getting 10% off, if you spend over £15 you can get some freebies AND if you spend over £25 (which is easily done) you get free delivery! 


Thanks for reading and you can leave me a comment or find me on Twitter to let me know what you think of this awesome site!

Steal The Style; Miranda Kerr

Everytime Miranda Kerr is pictured, she is always uber stylish and I don't know about you, but I want to steal the style!


 Whether it be taking her son for a walk or attending star studded events, Miranda Kerr is always sure to look her best and continues to be our style envy! But unlike her, you may not have the bank balance to dress head to toe designer - so why not get her look at a cheaper price?

  


Here's how to steal her everyday style on the high street!

Gift Guide #1 - Winter Warmers!

As you all know, Christmas is getting closer and closer!
In fact, it's only 32 days away! How exciting!
So, to help all my lovely readers decide what to buy your loved ones for the upcoming holidays, I will be posting a Gift Guide, where I will find amazing items that you can buy even if you're on a limited budget!
I'm so kind, I know <3


Basically, pyjamas are the way to go if you want to get any female family member or friend the perfect gift! And I have found a website that sells some gorgeous pairs from various designers at great prices that won't leave you penniless!

Idlewild London (www.idlewildlondon.com, @IdlewildLondon) sell a wide range of women's sleepwear, loungewear and dressing gowns that keep you looking stylish even in bed! They stock items from designers such as DKNY, Espirt and Calvin Klein and their pyjama gift sets are a definite must have for everyone!

Here are some of my favourite pyjamas on Idlewild London at the minute that should definitely be the present for your Secret Santa!






How good would it be to give someone a set of designer pyjamas? 
Or maybe even buy yourself a pair so you're comfy and cosy while you're doing your Christmas shopping online!
And at this price, you have no excuse!

 Leave me a comment telling me what you'll be buying from Idlewild London or talk to me on Twitter (@NatashaMackay1) using #BHBGiftGuide about what you're getting your nearest and dearest for Christmas!

Vintage Beauties

Where would fashion be these days without a little bit of vintage influence?

I love taking a look around charity shops to see what bargains I can find but wouldn't it be even better if you could find some vintage jewels in the comfort of your own home while you're sitting in your comfiest clothes with a cup of tea? That's where ASOS Marketplace comes in!

ASOS Marketplace (marketplace.asos.com, @ASOSMarketplace) is where anyone can sell items they've made or pre-owned vintage fashion! I'm really loving the collection Yoke Vintage (@YokeVintage) are selling at the minute! Look at this Vintage Acid Wash Floral Dress that they are selling for only £23.99!


How amazing is that? And at such a good price as well!
You can find this dress as well as the rest of their collection here!
 I know once payday rolls around, I'll be getting myself a few things! What about you?

Another boutique I have found on my internet travels is The Ragged Priest and just a warning, once you see what they sell, you'll be wanting to spend, spend spend! They sell a wide range of vintage and customized items from jackets to belts that are still in great condition! Here are a couple of my favourite items!


The first is an Oversized Light Denim Western Style Shirt by John Banner which is a steal at £10 and the second is a Classic 70's Denim Orange Tab Jacket by Levis which is only £20!
You can find the rest of  The Ragged Priest's collection here!

See why I love ASOS Marketplace?
