Wishlisting.

Hello everyone,
I'm sure you are sick of me moaning on Twitter about wanting to go shopping, but seen as I don't get paid until the end of July, I still have some waiting to do! With that in mind, I thought I'd assemble an idea on what I want to spend my pennies on once they land in my purse.

Wishlisting

Topshop checked smock // Topshop lace bralet // Monki carpet print top // H&M mint crop top // New Look striped bardot crop top // Topshop bleached denim jacket // Topshop black Joni jeans // River Island tile print smock dress //  River Island embellished black playsuit // H&M black chiffon kimono // Topshop powder blue scalloped shorts // Vans slip on shoes // Office slip on sandals // River Island black hat

Ok, so first up the kimono, this H&M one is a total bargain and will go with everything. I think it will give a lovely summery edge to outfits non? The black playsuit looks like it could have the potential to fit me (tall girl problems) and I love the beading. the two dresses below just look like the perfect thing to throw on a hot day (wishful thinking I know) and could be dressed up for down. The denim jacket and black Joni jeans are staples that I have lusted after for an age, it's high time they are in my wardrobe!  The bralet is such a pretty, delicate piece and the shorts are in my current favourite colour. The three t-shirts just caught my eye whilst browsing online, they are all such good prices! As I mentioned in my last post, I now work in Office, so there is shoe temptation everywhere! I'm hoping to pick these pairs up soon. And finally, the black floppy hat, need I say more?

What do you think of my picks? What are you after at the moment?

Inspo no.3.

Hello everyone, 
This inspiration post is centered around trying to make myself feel more summery, because for whatever reason I'm just not feeling that particular vibe yet! No doubt its the ever wonderful British weather I've been experiencing lately...

All images from Pinterest, I don't own any of these pictures.

You might be ab;e to see what I'm loving trend wise right now; hats (yeah still I know), vintage and retro influence, monochrome anything, boho styles and natural or doe-eyed makeup. That's what I want for my summer wardrobe basically!

Trend #15: Under the palm tree

Hello everyone,
I'm giving myself a revision break and writing a little trends post :)
 Palm print has been everywhere at the lately, and I think it really is is the perfect alternative to florals. There is something really fresh and summery about all these pieces so you're bound to like at least one!

Under the palm tree


Topshop deep v back dress// Topshop sleeveless top //Mango T-shirt// 
River Island crop top//Oasis green romper // Topshop skate shoes

Let's kick things of with the shoes; I'm obsessed with this style and I think the bright print on this pair is a really fun take on the tropical and skate shoe trend. These would look equally lovely with a pair of jeans as they would with a pretty white dress (plus they've been reduced to just £15!) The dress above is the perfect shape if you want to keep things casual, and the colour combination of blue and silver keeps the print subtle too, I imagine it would look lovely with a pair of wedges and a floppy black hat. The two tops above look like summer staples to me; how perfect would they be with a black maxi? The little crop top in the corner has to be my favourite item of all, I love the fact that the palms are more like a silhouette, and the white and baby blue is so pretty. Finally we have a playsuit, the most palm-y of them all!

Are you a fan of this trend? Which is your favourite piece?

Trend #15: Head in the clouds.

Hello everyone,
Now I have always had a strange fascination with clouds; I just find it mesmerizing how they change constantly, they can look beautifully harmless and later switch to something pretty menacing. I have seen some gorgeous cloud printed garments popping up in a few places, so I thought it was only right to dedicate a post! 

Head in the clouds



I'm not a huge fan of printed leggings by any means, but these ones I think are subtle enough not to look tacky. I think they would look lovely with a grey over-sized jumper and  a big floppy hat. The Alice and Olivia maxi is a dress of dreams; the fabric and the print just evoke images of a summer wedding or a stroll long a stunning beach (It's a shame it will set you back £325.) This little skirt is just adorable, a really playful way to add a bit of this trend to your wardrobe. Both of these tshirts are stunning, the longer of which I think you could get away with as a dress (maybe with long white socks and a pair of converse?) and the other is perfect for dressing up or down with it's more abstract print. Lastly, this little steal of a travel bag is calling my name- so pretty!

Life through my lens #8.

Hello everyone, it's time for another little update,
Before the Easter break, I had two practical exams; one in Textiles and the other in Drama, thankfully, I feel like they both went really well! I had worked super hard for both, so I guess now it's just a long wait until results day! Did any of you have any exams? Let me know how you got on! Most recently I had my birthday (I'll stop going on about it soon I promise!) It really was lovely, ans thank you all for your sweet messages :) In blogging news, I am so so close to 600 followers now, totally crazy for be to even conceive that number, exciting stuff!

Trend #14: `Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking`

Hello everyone, 
You have no idea how long I have been waiting to quote this The Devil wears Prada phrase! This really is a `Florals? For Spring?` post (sorry Miranda Priestly) simply because this trend does come around every spring with out fail. I can't say I'm complaining!

'Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking`


First off the shoes. Oh the shoes. I can't decide which I love more; the super sophisticated Ted Baker heels or the stunning Steve Maddens. I now feel I need them both. Shoes are a fab way to inject a little bit of this trend into your wardrobe if you're not a fan of the whole all over florals thing. The Topshop dress caught my eye as soon as I saw it. I think the colour palette is a really different, fun take on this trend. The skort combines two trends in one, I love the the tropical feel it has! The top would look gorgeous with a pair of jeans or a denim skirt. I don't think it would look out of place in an autumnal outfit either. The playsuit is a classic statement piece; perfect for those who can't get enough of florals!

Trend #13: Daisy crazy.

Happy Saturday everyone! 
The weather is absolutely beautiful today so I intend to take full advantage of it. I'm sure it will come as no surprised that this spring I am utterly obsessed with daisy print (you only have to look at my last OOTD and Instagram page!) So I thought it was only appropriate to do a full trend post on it. Maybe it will get it out of my system? Yeah I doubt it too. 

Daisy crazy.

Topshop knitted jumper // Insane Jungle crop top // Boohoo black playsuit //River Island black skirt//Accessorize cross-body bag//Forever 21 makeup pouch

First up, this Topshop jumper is the most perfect spring knit; light but still super cosy, plus the slight dip hem is a lovely touch. I've been really loving the look of playsuits lately and this Boohoo offering ticks all the boxes, It would look equally good with a fluffy black cardigan and Chelsea boots as it would with a leather jacket and chunky heels. The crop top is a wardrobe staple for spring/summer and is a total steal at only £11. The little makeup pouch is also a bargain (£2.88!) and makes me wish even more that I had a Forever 21 near me. Lastly is the most adorable bag, perfect for any spring occasion! 

I'm so excited to tell you all that my blog hit 400 followers during the week, excited isn't even the word! Thank you all so very much.

Wish wish wishlist: Fashion.

Howdy everyone, I hope your all full to the brim with pancakes, I'm having mine later- I am far far to excited! 

At the moment I seem to be lusting after so much. I think it's the whole Spring transition thing going on right now. You know; new season, new wardrobe, new me? That's how I'm rationalizing it anyhow... With my Birthday coming up in 3 days and 1 month (hey, who's counting?) I'm hoping to get my hands on a few things! 

Wish wish wish
Topshop `Oui Non` t-shirt // New Look Blue top// Topshop Highwaisted denim shorts/ /Motel  A-line skirt // ASOS Cut-out flat shoes // Accessorize Black handbag// Primark Floral midi-dress// Primark Black skort

First up these shoes. I think I have a problem. I honestly can't stop thinking about them! I love the cut out detail, but also the fact that they are real leather - it's reeling me in. I may or may not have also started planning outfits around them... One thing I've wanted for an age is a skort, and this Primark one is a total steel at just £10, especially when you consider Zara prices. This Motel skirt has been calling to me for far too long as well, and seen as there are always Motel promo codes flying around I may have to invest. Pastel blue is my new favorite colour and I feel like this New Look top would go with everything. The `Oui Non` top is continuing my addiction with all things french; I just think it is so quirky and fun! This Primark dress has such a pretty print I couldn't not include it, plus I want to broaden my horizons form my usual skater style dresses and venture into the world of Midis- crazy I know. The bag and denim shorts are staples that every girl need is her repertoire, and mine is crying out for them!

Are you enjoying pancake day? What are your wishing for at the moment?
