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.

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?

High-end beauty wishlist

Hello my loves,

 I hope your all having a good Wednesday. I for one am lusting over so much makeup at the moment! I thought I would compile a list of the high-end pieces that I would love to have in my stash right now and why;

Origins Out of trouble face mask / Yves Saint Laurent Rouge volupte lipstick / Nars Sheer glow foundation, / Nars Orgasm & Laguna blush and bronze duo / MAC Mineralize blush /Lime Crime Velvetine lipstick / MUJI five drawer acrylic storage/ Urban Decay Naked 3 palette

MAC Mineralize blusher in `Warm soul`

This blusher has me weak at the knees, the deep pink shade with flecks of gold, the silky texture and classic MAC packaging; yes please.

YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick

I have deiced to save up all my boots points in order to buy one of these babies, sadly I can't justify spending £25 on a lipstick (promise me you will hold me too this) so using my points is how I'll go about it! The packaging is absolutely to die for and all the shades are so gorgeous - let me know which one I should pick! 

Urban Decay Naked 3 palette

I have had my eye on this since it was released and I know it is only a matter of time before I cave and buy it! Everything about it is just so perfect; the rose gold theme, quality shadows, plus it even comes with a brush.

 Lime Crime Velvetine lipstick

Another gorgeously packaged lippie (I love the frosted glass!) These constantly pop up on my Instagram feed and always look amazing. I'm a lover of a matte lip and these look like the right product for achieving that perfect pout. They are also cruelty free and vegan friendly which is always a big bonus. And it's pink. Duh. 

Origins Out of trouble 10 minute mask

My skin is being really problematic at the moment so I'm looking for something to help sort it out. Step up this Origins face mask, specifically designed to target blemish prone skin, it defo looks promising. 

Muji Acrylic storage

Not strictly high-end or make up, but I need these! My current set up is not good (overflowing lipstick box anyone?) so I feel like it's time to smarten everything up with this blogger favourite. 

Nars Orgasm & Laguna duo

I have wanted to try both of these products for a long time now so this duo is the place to start! Nars' sleek packaging is so lovely as well. 

Nars Sheer Glow foundation 

Finally is the infamous base, I have heard countless glowing (pun not intended!) reviews of this, so I really want to see what all the fuss is about, my only niggle - why does it not come with a pump?!  

So that's what I would like to get my hands on in the foreseeable future! 

Also I have some exciting news; on Monday night, this blog of mine hit 300 Bloglovin' followers! I could not be happier and it makes me feel like all the hard work I put into my blog is really worth it :) to say thank you, I'm going to be holding a giveaway in March to coincide with my one year anniversary, who knows , I might have even reached a higher milestone by then! 

What beauty items are you wishing for at the moment? 

Wishlist: New Look skirts.

Hi everyone,

 I was recently approached by New Look to work with them by blogging about either day dresses, maxi dresses or skirts. If you know me, you will know that I am a huge lover of a skirt or two, so no prizes for guessing what I chose! 

I have compiled a wish list of my favourite skirts currently in store which I think are just perfect for autumn :) but New look have so many gorgeous skirts at the moment so check them out!

1.Navy and green check skirt /2.Burgundy waffle skater skirt/3.Tapestry skirt/

4.Black velvet skater skirt/5.Red tartan skater skirt/6.Black leather-look midi skirt

1. Ah this skirt reminds me of clueless so much! I can just see Cher walking around the `mall` going `As if!` keeping it 90's style, I would pair this with a cosy jumper with a peter pan collared shirt, some knee high socks and cute Mary Jane flats.

2. A skater skirt is a staple in anyone wardrobe, and this burgundy one is perfect for autumn. They also have this in lots of other colours like my favourite bottle green :) 

3. This is one of my favourites out of the six, tapestry always tugs at my heart strings! I love the rich, luxurious feel it has and this one is so pretty. I feel like this would be a timeless item and will always be fashionable.

4. Velvet has been everywhere this season, this black skirt is a good way to jazz up a simple black skater and it would be perfect if your planning a witchy outfit come Halloween!

5. Tartan is also a winner for autumn, you cant beat channeling a Scot/school girl! 

6. Finally is this gorgeous midi; leather has had a bit of a revival in the skirt department lately and this one is a steal and although it's not actual leather it definitely looks the part.  I would wear this with a fluffy jumper, that look was a staple at LFW this year!

I'm going to London today to see my little cousins and generally enjoy the city, should be fun! I went shopping yesterday so let we know if you would like to see a makeup haul :)

Wishlist #2

It's time for another wishlist! I haven't done one for a very long time, so this is long overdue. I'm currently really craving some summery weather, so some bits are pretty optimistic for the current climate! 

  -Fashion union Striped crop top- 

Firstly, I don't really like having pictures on my blog with the model in the photo (I think it's just nicer to have only the item of clothing,) but a)  this top didn't look great on it's own, and b) I really like the way this has been styled with the drapey necklaces! As you may have noticed, I have a bit of an obsession with crop tops, and I really want to add this one to my collection! It's only £8, which I think is really good because this is a really basic, statement piece. I also had  a striped crop top in my last wishlist, must just be something about them!

-Fashion union NYC tshirt- 

Back to the white background! Fashion union is an online shop that I really love,  but I don't really hear much about, let me know if you ever shop there ! Anyway, onto this top!I really love all the sport motifs that are flying about at the moment, and bottle green is one of my favorite colours, so really this is a win win piece for me! It's a tad pricey for a tshirt, £15 to be precise, but the material looks nice and thick and I can see my self getting a lot of wear out of it. 

-Topshop Joni jeans- 

I love a good pair of jeans; denim, acid wash, coloured, patterned. Shockingly, I don't own any Topshop ones! and I think its about time I do. I've heard a lot about these Joni jeans and as I do prefer a high waisted cut so these I think are perfect for me! The colour is super summery and it will be nice to ad a lighter denim hue to my wardrobe. 

-Real techniques starter kit-

I absolutely love the Real Techniques brushes. I have the core collection and the stippling brush and I'm eager to expand! I getting more into eye shadow at the moment and I think this set will really help :) obviously the quality is amazing and price is great, these are actually five pounds cheaper on amazon at the moment so I may have to purchase! 

-New look Crochet shorts-

These shorts are so pretty! I love the simple edition of crochet which really transforms these otherwise quite boring shorts. There a bargain at £19.99, when you think of that compared to Topshop prices!

So that's what I'm lusting after at the moment :) whats on your wish list?

Wishlist #1

I always have a mental wishlish on the go, so I thought I would share what I'm currently lusting after!

1. Crop top- River island

I'm really loving crop tops at the mo, I think its because I'm craving a bit of sun. This is obviously a nod to the monochrome trend which I love and fully intend to embrace by adding this piece to my wardrobe! Its pricey, and £20.00 for a tee-shirt, its not cheap, but I can see myself wearing this loads; think disco pants, jeans and skater skirts!

2.  Vera Wang lovestruck (floral rush)


Every time I have been shopping lately, I've had to go it boots and spritz my self with this, I just love it! I'm awful at describing scents but I would say it was quite floral (duh), but not overly sweet. It reminds me a bit of palma violets as well. With any luck, I could be getting this beaut for my birthday :)

3. Lush- Fluffy egg bath bomb

Everybody love a bit of Lush, and I really want to get something from their Easter collection. Personally, I prefer the bubble bars to bath bombs, but this one looks lovely, and is a snip and only £2.95.

4. Urban decay `Naked basics` palette-

Everyone knows how brilliant UD's palettes are, and I would love to add this to my collection! I don't think I could justify spending the large amount on this lovely fellas famous cousins, but I don't think the £20 price tag of this one is too bad. I'm trying to mix up my look from eyeliner everyday, and I can see my self getting alot of use out of this, asd there all wearable shades. (On a side note, is it just me that thinks eyeshadow palletes with neon oranges and greens are just a tiny bit pointless?!)

5. Jack wills Merrifield dress

I love this dress! it's currently in the Jack Wills sale, for £49, which although is a lot, I think is actually quite good for JW, I just adore the vintage-esque print and the colour are to die for. I probably won't be purchasing this, because it is pricey, but hey, this is a wishlist!

Thats what I'm after currently! The weather is awful where I live right now,  I actually need some sun!

What's on your wishlist?
