March / What's On My Wish Lists

With exams and life changing things fast approaching, my blog has suffered somewhat. In an ideal world, I would be attached to my computer, only taking breaks when it was time to sleep, blogging from dusk til dawn. However, in the real world life is a little more demanding and sadly there isn't internet connection at every turn. I don't usually count getting ill as lucky, but for a few moments I was glad that my sniffles and cough meant that I could stay home and take a few moments to blog! Starting with my traditional, monthly post - What's On My Wish Lists! I've selected my favourite pieces from the High Street and collaged them together for you to snoop at what I've been after this month..

1. River Island Grey Colour Block Sweatshirt £32.00 - I get days where I'll dress in high boots, statement leggings and a bulky jacket, however, I also get days where all I can think about is comfort and this Colour Block Sweatshirt looks like the epitome of comfort. I love the colour block detailing, adding a bold statement to a casual piece. 

2. River Island Gold Tone Chunky Stone Bracelet £10.00  - My accessory obsession started with rings - statement rings, bold, big, chunky and un-missible. A little while later the obsession climbed up to my wrists and the world of bracelets was revealed to me.  For my 18th birthday I got a Pandora bracelet filled with the most meaningful charms, some selected by me, others by close family and friends. I'll be doing a blog post on my bracelet collection because I've fallen in love with it, but for now, I want this Chunky Stone Bracelet from River Island.. 

3. River Island Brown Draped Front Jersey Jacket £45.00  - This Draped Front Jersey Jacket is the perfect addition to any UK wardrobe. While Spring is well under way and our wardrobes have experienced a makeover as we slowly wave goodbye to our chunky knits and scarves, the Winter chill still lingers in the air..This light coloured Jersey Jacket is super versatile and will keep that Winter wind off your body and give your outfit a casual draped, 'I just threw this on' kind of look. Effortless and stylish, it will provide you with the security that you will be warm but also that you look amazing. 

4. New Look Black Contrast Zip Front Tote Bag £22.99 - Um, so the bag obsession might be making a bit of a comeback this year..I don't really have much of an excuse for why I want this, other than it's a bag and I love bags...oh and it's got some colour blocking and who can resist colour blocking? Not me..apparently.. 

5. Topshop Kisser Lace-up Flatforms £50.00 - So shoes are an essential because we have feet and we need to walk without shaving the bottom of our feet off. Therefore, I think these Kisser Lace-up Flatforms from Topshop are a sensible choice and a good investment. I love the pink colour that greets Spring/Summer with its pastel palette and the fact that they've got a bit of height is a definite bonus! 

6. Topshop Utility Backpack £30.00  - I'm not usually a big fan of backpacks but like I said, the bag obsession has made its comeback this year and if something is nice, quirky, edgy or just in some way a bag - the chances are I'm going to want it. This Utility Backpack from Topshop is the perfect practical, stylish bag - amazing for students on the go like myself (can I have it now please?).

7. Topshop Gallop Court Shoes £59.00 - These are gorgeous Court Shoes and the prettiest pastel colour that I have ever seen, amazing for Spring/Summer evenings! 

8. Topshop MOTO Sequin Boyfriend Jeans £56.00  - Everyone loves a bit of sparkle in their life and these Sequin Boyfriend Jeans give you your daily dose! These won't be everyone's cup of tea but they are the perfect jeans to keep your spirit happy - you can't be sad when prancing around in sequins! 

February / What's On My Wish Lists

Firstly I am terribly sorry that my blogging habits have been subdued over the past two weeks - to say I've had a busy month would be an understatement! While university interviews and eighteenth birthday celebrations were filling the 'exciting' section of my diary, coursework deadlines and A-level work continued to takeover a vast chunk of the less riveting side of my life. But, I'm back and with a busy blogging schedule to follow!! 

1. Topshop Vintage Jeans by Boutique £55.00 - When I was younger jeans weren't one of my favourite pieces of clothing; I thought that they were stiff, rigid items that were mainstream. However, the 21st Century has given jeans a new lease of life and now they are bigger and better than ever before. With Hailey Baldwin recently fronting Topshop's new SS15 denim collection, denim is cooler than ever before. I love Topshop's new collection of denim and denim jeans are becoming one of my favourite pieces of day-today clothing. From 'mom' style jeans to ripped, barely-there pieces, I plan to accumulate quite a collection of denim for my Spring wardrobe! 

2. Topshop Petite Split Back Duster Coat £79.00 - I don't have a favourite colour which is deemed as odd by a few people. Personally my colour preferences change depending on my mood or the time in my life, for example my favourite colour is currently red - bold, daring and supposedly a colour of success. However, throughout the times, green is always a colour that I will find some form of comfort in. In fact, a lot of my clothing is green - whether it reminds me of nature's green grass, or Santa's Elves' outfits, green is always a colour that I am more than happy to drape over my body. Therefore, it will be no surprise to you that I am falling in love with this Topshop Split Back Duster Coat!! 

3. New Look Khaki Textured Pointed Court Shoes £19.99 - Heels are an essential for practically any girl's wardrobe. They are quite literally the 'pick me up' item that will elevate you into a happier sense of self, until you get to the crippling stages of agony after wearing them too long. These Textured Pointed Court Shoes from New Look would be perfect day-to-day wear for one of those days when a pick me up is needed. 

4. ASOS Open Triangle Cuff Bracelet £8.00 - Accessories - sometimes un-noticed and even worse, sometimes unaddressed. 2015 has been an amazing year so far - a year where I've decided to embrace anything and everything that comes my way; and that includes accessories! Stemming from my obsession with rings, I am now slowly becoming obsessed with bracelets also (save my soul). This Open Triangle Cuff Bracelet is cute and simple - not too eye-catching, for an outfit that doesn't need to be overpowered by jewellery! 

5. Ted Baker Patent Crosshatch Large Shopper £169.00 - Ted Baker can do no wrong, however, it can so easily tempt me to part with money, as with this gorgeous Shopper!! I think this bag is the perfect transitional seasons bag, introducing the lighter, pastel shades of S/S15 into your existing darker tones of A/W14 wardrobe.

6. Topshop Limbo Snake-effect Platform Sandals £52.00 - Perhaps a little ambitious for day-to-day wear here in Britain where rain can be seen exploding from the clouds, but some day soon these Snake-effect Platform Sandals will be the perfect partner for a S/S15 outfit.

7. New Look Camel Block Stripe Print Blanket Wrap £24.99 - When it comes to fashion there are some decisions (very rarely) where you have to consider the practicality of an item. This Blanket Wrap is definitely one of those items which has the benefit of being practical yet stylish, making it even more tempting to purchase it. Although we are supposedly nearing Spring and Summer, I can still feel the chilly Winter bite here in the UK - hand me this Blanket Wrap from New Look and a hot chocolate please because I'm turning into Olaf here!
