We spotted Lauren Pope in our Kirrly Sheer Cross Blouse, and love how she has paired it with a simple black skirt and oversized studded clutch. Wear yours with leather shorts and ankle books or unbuttoned and layered over a black maxi dress for a really versatile rock inspired addition to your wardrobe.

With it’s cream textured top, and hot pink peplum skirt – we can see why this dress set pulses racing when it hit the catwalk during Jason Wu’s SS12 show. Perfect with a messy up-do and a punchy pink lip, this is a dress to see you through Summer. We love how Coco Rocha has toughened her’s up with black ankle boots whilst keeping it minimalist with no accessories.

So with just 1 week to go before the big day we finally got our butts into gear and managed to run the big 5 miles. It took us just over 45 minutes and although we were extremely tired by the end of it it’s really motivated us and we’re starting to feel ready for the real thing on Sunday…bring it on!  This week we’re planning on stacking up on the carbs (any excuse) customising our t-shirts and running the full 10km in preparation for the race!

Is anybody else running the Manchester 10k? Do you have any tips for us?

Our next and final training session before Sunday is tomorrow night where we hope to really pick up the pace and make the big 6 mile mark in less than 50 minutes! We will update you with our progress on Wednesday. Have a nice evening

You have got the invite, bagged yourself a ‘plus one’ and had a few too many cocktails at the Hen party- but now the Wedding date is looming & you have no idea what to wear. Can you wear black to wedding ? Is a maxi dress too boho ? Pencil skirt too formal ? White is inappropriate, right ? Sound familiar ?

We grabbed our Stylist before her ‘Style Hour’ on Facebook, to ask what we should be wearing at weddings this season:

Back in the day a midi dress and a large hat was sufficient enough attire to get you through any wedding, but now with so many different styles of wedding, dressing appropriately can require a little more thought – Holiday, Black Tie, Theme, Outdoor, Church, Traditional, Informal, Beach, White Chapel in Vegas… the list goes on. First it is important to find out which of the above the wedding will fit into -turning up to a Beach wedding in 6 inch heels, tailored trousers and blazer may leave you sinking in the sand and making your grand entrance in a satin backless maxi when everyone else is in tie-dye and kaftans with flowers in their hair will not make jaws drop in the way you wanted them too.

Here are a few wedding types and some idea’s for what you could wear to guarantee you look picture perfect:

Black Tie/Formal -

This is usually when the men pull on their tuxedo’s or finest suits and the women are expected to ‘dress to impress’. Floor skimming dresses or A-Line prom shapes are perfect for these occasions. Look for pearl, sequin and beaded embellishments to bring some of your personality out in the dress. Our Harriet Dress in Blush is simple yet perfect for taking you from day to evening – just pop over a cropped bolero or knit, and then add a statement beaded necklace after the ceremony. If you are looking for something a little more glam, the Amalee Dress has embellished detail across the front and the sweetheart neckline is perfect for Summer. If maxi dresses are not your thing then opt for a cocktail dress that hit just above the knee or a tailored dress – our Elliana and Meisha dresses are a great alternative . Peep Toes are an elegant finishing touch and the metal heels on these Dracie heels are really on-trend for SS12.

Church/Traditional Wedding -

There are many people that prefer to have their shoulders covered whilst attending a church wedding, and this can easily be solved by layering a cape, scarf or knit over your outfit whilst attending the ceremony ( churches are often quite nippy so you might be glad of the extra layer ) – Frenca, Osmina and Phebe are all styles that could be worn over a dress or top/skirt combo during the day.

As for your base outfit, there are so many options for this style of wedding – floral, midi, maxi, asymmetrical, polka dot, vintage, prom, lace, peplum or you could ‘do a Kate Moss’ and opt for a shorts suit as seen all over the SS12 catwalks. These are my top picks for a Traditional wedding:

Floral - Morice in Coral is perfect for all skin tones, the pastel colours and vintage print are key for Spring and the elegant shape look great on any body size.

Prints - Our  Muriell playsuit might not be the most obvious choice for a wedding, but paired with a longline tailored blazer, platforms and an elegant updo – it would be perfect for those fashion-forward guests who like to be individual.

Midi - This is the easiest length to wear, with the space between your calf and ankle often being the slimmest – it is really flattering on most figures. Bertilla and Aurin are both simple shapes with key detailing such as the pleats and peplum which means little accessorising is required.

Asymmetrical - The catwalks loved this style for Summer; the super flattering style is versatile and the length is perfect for those who like to show a little bit of leg but dont want to feel too exposed. The Madella Skirt would look great paired with a cropped blazer and blouse or cami top and the canary yellow shade fits into the ‘bright’ trend for Summer. Teliah and Merindette are examples of how asymmetric dresses can look chic in black broken up with colour and for those who want to back the pastel trend this season – Ileana‘s waterfall skirt and thick straps suits all bodyshapes.

Skater - A key shape all year round and great for this Spring/Summer in block bright, pastels and monochrome. I love Lioentta, Pollis, Penella and Darra.

Tailored - Trousers, Blazers, Blouses, Pencil Dressesand Shorts are all perfect for looking ladylike yet androynous at ceremonies and in the rights shades and with the right detailing you can hit a few SS12 trends too . Have a look at Marillet for a really pretty look , Althena for a dress to rival the Kardasian’s and Darcey for a hot Summer suit . If you are wary of this style, try adding a blazer to your look for a hint to the trend.

Holiday -

The sky is blue, the sand is white and nothing but palm tree’s in sight – perfect ? Not if you are sweltering in a dress with masses of material or heels so high you had to leave them back at the hotel. On holiday you need light, airy pieces that will let your skin breathe in colours that will show of that holiday glow. The Darwila dress would look perfect with beachy hair and highlighted cheeks – pair with small wedges or beaded sandals.  Bralets can actually work for a wedding, simply add a lightweight high waisted maxi and this floral print Sarika Top will look perfect for the vows.  The colours, the fabric and the shape of our Sailla dress are all great for in the sun – add turquoise or fuchsia pink beads and accessories .  The choice of location allows you to bare a little more flesh that you could usually – the cut outs on our Ammanda dress may be frowned upon in church, but the high neckline and simple shapes mean that it is perfect for on the beach.

Here are some celebs that got it right :

     TOWIE’S Georgina Dorsett stepped out in our Studded Shoulder Sweatshirt paired simply with drainpipe jeans and raspberry suede ankle boots.

Training session two down and the miles are creeping up slowly but surely! On Sunday we reached 4.1miles in 34minutes…not too bad for a bank holiday weekend hey? With less than 2 weeks to go to the big day, we seriously need to increase the distance and up the pace. Maybe a little self bribery in the form of a Missguided treat will spur us on?

Our top picks this week are:

http://www.missguided.co.uk/ellana-floral-print-trousers-5

http://www.missguided.co.uk/toria-metallic-effect-tailored-shorts-5

http://www.missguided.co.uk/coleen-strappy-detail-vest-4

http://www.missguided.co.uk/orneia-light-wash-denim-shirt-5

Maybe, just maybe if we finish in less than 1 hour we can treat ourselves…its only fair after all this training we think!

Our next run is tonight where we hope to pick up the pace and make the mileage. 5miles here we come!! We will update you tomorrow, have a good one!

Stylist Tip: If tribal or detailed denims are a little out of your comfort zone – keep them simple with a silky vest and bright tailored blazer.

Violetta Tailored Blazer £24.99

Gennie Strappy Back Vest £14.99

Tribal Seam Skinny Jeans £34.99

Lensil Studded Peep Toe Heels £40.99

The time has come for the MG guys & girls to swap killer heels and catwalks for trainers and treadmills (…well the girls are), and put their most fashionable foot forward to support local children’s cancer charity KidsCan.

 1 in 500 children will be diagnosed with cancer in the UK this year and tragically 30% of these children will not survive. Through groundbreaking research, KidsCan is striving to reduce that figure but your continued support is vital.

 Their aims are simple:

• To cure more children with cancer. 
• To improve the treatment of children with cancer. 
• To develop new treatments for childhood cancer. 
• To be a source of information about childhood cancer.

Missguided Run for KidsCan #TrainingSesssion1

Well we’ve been putting off training for the Manchester 10k for far too long now so its time to get our butts in to shape and show Manchester what the Missguided ladies can do. First stop…the gym!

We ran our little legs off at the gym last night but im afraid we failed on the distance front reaching only 3.5miles in 27minutes. Not too bad for the first attempt though?

Our next run is on Thursday evening where we intend to reach the 5miles target. We will update you Friday with the results.
