Perfectly Beautiful Wishes of Mine


Hi everyone!

This week has been my first ever full week of work. So after feeling extremely tired (I was looking after 28 kids aged 4-12) and getting paid, I'm in full on buying mode...

1. Poppies are my favourite flowers, I did one of my GCSE art projects on poppies and when I saw this top on the Topshop website I knew it must be mine. Poppies + Peplum = Divine! It has also been put into the sale so it has £20 off! I want it even more now!

2. I have been lusting after Chloe's signature perfume for a long time now. First my sister bought it, since then I've had a couple of samples and now I just want it.

3. Cat eye sunglasses have been catching my eye for a while, I spotted these on ASOS for just £10. Come to mama...

4. As you probably know I've been wanting some flat forms for absolutely ages! I spoke about the Anthropologie pair (at a whopping £110) and I came across these on ASOS which have been reduced!

5. While shopping with my sister I saw this beautifully delicate rabbit necklace in Miss Selfridge, I was abit on the fence about it and spent about half an hour deliberating whether to get it or not whilst my sister tried some clothes on. In the end I decided to leave it but now I've decided that it would make a lovely addition to my jewelry collection (which is surprisingly small!)

Sunny Days, Sunny Walks









Hi everyone!

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day and I didn't even realize until my mum pointed it out. We thought we'd take advantage of the weather and go out on a walk. Can you believe this is literally a 10 minute walk from our house? I didn't realize the woods and fields could look so beautiful in the sun!

I got this dress for my birthday in spring, I like to call it my spring dress because of the daffodil and tulip pattern it has. Unfortunately though because of Britain's awful weather this is only the second time I've been able to wear it!

I do love this dress, and I especially love it's racer back! Also, look at all the beautiful wildlife! Summer is so lovely...

Feeling Blue





Hi everyone!

Now when I say that it's been a while since my last outfit post it is not an understatement. It has been a WHILE. But here I am with a new outfit! 

I've been dying to show you these trousers, I bought them in Zara's AMAZING sale a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love them. They are just so comfortable, they are also casual but smart at the same time. So they would be perfect for Sixth Form in September. I also have a matching blazer which is FAB!

My hair has never curled. It's just too long and too thick. I had completely given up hope, but my sister bought a Remington curling wand and I thought I'd give it a go. And look! It has worked and I am SO HAPPY! I have had it curly every day since, I just love it.

This was such a sunny day and I was about to go out for a casual meal for my sister's birthday, I thought that this was the perfect outfit for this!

Shoe Wishes


Hi everyone!

I am one of those people who just loves winter. I'm forever lusting after boots and jumpers. I find it really hard to dress for summer, and forever long for frosty mornings. Just the thought that Autumn and Winter are getting close are making me excited. My favoured foot wear are boots. Give me a good pair of boots over heels any day. Here are a couple of shoes I've seen recently that have made me go crazy! 

1. Topshop, who doesn't love a suede chelsea boot really? Really?

2. Topshop, I know I've already showed these but my god are they not perfection?

3. Oasis, these heeled boots are the epitome of Autumn. I am seriously crushing on these bad boys.

4. Topshop, a little similar to 1 but I already have 2 pairs of suede boots from Topshop and they are my favourite ever shoes. I especially love the cross detail on the side!

5. Oasis, I have some money reserved for these right now. They will be mine!

6. ASOS, these really pretty brogues would be prefect with cropped trousers on afternoon walks in Autumn.

7. Kurt Geiger, they sure know how to bring the pastel trend. These beauties would be perfect for sixth form!

8. Topshop, another shoe I have already shown you. But can you blame me?

9. ASOS, heeled chelsea boots? How could I refuse?

10. Kurt Geiger, lilac, lacy brogues? Yes please.

Ciate Nail Varnish




Hi everyone!

I thought I'd talk about Ciate nail varnishes. I didn't think I'd ever buy one of these because I'm more of an OPI person, but I saw this as a free gift in Marie Clare magazine so I thought I'd give it a go...

I picked up the color "Bon Bon" as I wanted a lovely nude colour. I was happily surprised! It is a lovely formula, giving an opaque and even coverage on the first layer. However, for the ultimate look I'd use 2 layers and a clear top coat. The brush is a perfect size and gives an even sweep to each nail. I will definitely purchase more...

FABULOUS!

Wishlist Wednesday!


Hi everyone!

Now, this wishlist is abit on the large side but I don't really care. Next season is all about army greens, chunky knits, purple tones and vivacious prints, all combined with luxurious textures. This is a little snippet of what I have seen so far ready for next season!

1. Right now I'm obsessed with cropped trousers. I just want them all, and these Topshop ones are perfect for sixth form in the Autumn!

2. I have seen almost everyone wearing this Asos bracelet and to be honest, at only £8 I want to get my hands on one! I especially love rose gold.

3. A grey chunky knit is the staple of all wardrobes next season, and have found this Topshop one and I want it.

4. The perfect army styled shirt! It's not too over the top and has the perfect colour, a must have from Mango.

5. These paisley jeans made me jump for joy. Literally. They are just so beautiful and are a real statement piece for A/W 2012 from Topshop.

6. I'm a shoe-a-holic and these babies from Oasis are just stunning. NEED.

7. Another piece in with the army style. My motto is that you can never have too many jeans, and these Topshop ones would be great with a white shirt and wedges.

8. I adore these shoes. I don't really know what much more I can about these. Just look and drool. Topshop is doing it right this season.
