Sunday Style Wishlist #1



1. ASOS Boyfriend Watch (£22) - So, I've finally given up on my hopes of ever getting a Michael Kors watch. But not to worry, I have found this affordable alternative, in fact I kind of prefer it (sorry Kors!!). 

2. ASOS Atlas Hiker Ankle Boots (£38) - This goes without saying, boots are essential for Autumn/Winter (especially if you live up north in the UK where it rains 24/7). The last two pairs I bought are heels - not huge heels - but I need some comfortable boots in my life. These look like the perfect ones for me. I had considered investing in some Doc Martens but I can't picture myself wearing them too much. These look versatile, cute and they will probably last longer than my ebay boots. 

3. Topshop Petite Jersey Peplum Top (£18) - I have yet to follow the peplum trend, but after seeing Vivianna Does Makeup looking gorgeous in a black peplum top (here) I have felt inspired to add one to my wardrobe. This sort of burgundy colour is definitely looking to be on trend this Autumn/Winter too.

4. Topshop Bleach Hem Skinny Trousers (£38) - I know the ombre look has been around for quite a while now but I absolutely love these trousers. I practically live in skinny jeans and I have been wanting to take the plunge into buying some patterned trousers like the ones Sophy was wearing in her latest outfit post (here) but haven't quite plucked up the courage. These bleached skinny trousers will draw just the right amount of attention and will hopefully help me gather up the confidence to purchase some patterned trousers soon! 

5. Models Own Ibiza Mix (£5) - This nail polish has been on my wishlist forever! I don't own a glittery polish so this looks perfect and I think the colour mix will look great for Autumn and around Christmas time! 

6. Warehouse Uptown Bag (£42) - I don't really need to explain why I want this bag - It's a nude beige colour, so will go with anything, it's simple and it's gorgeous. 

7. Motel Rocks Rock 'N Rose Ximena Vintage Geometric Triangle Earrings (£14) - I've been eyeing these earrings up for a good while now. I think they'd look great with anything.  

Do you like any of the items on my wishlist this week?

OOTN - In love with ASOS

Let's jump straight to the point - I am currently obsessed with ASOS. And I'm not just saying that. I go on their website pretty much every evening to see if there are any new items I could add to my Autumn/Winter wardrobe - especially items in the sale.

This outfit will hopefully show you why I'm so obsessed... it was a complete bargain and I absolutely love it! 



First things first, the dress. It is in a gorgeous, soft jersey material, there is cut out detailing around the waist and it is super flattering. I didn't feel the need to wear any jewellery at all because I think the cut out pattern deserves all the attention.
I don't know if you'll agree with me, and I might just be old fashioned, but I find a lot of girls feel the need to show too much skin on a night out - usually too much cleavage and very short dresses! But I think this dress is just right, it's not too short so it won't show off your butt and it doesn't need to show any cleavage because the cut out shows just enough skin - it's classy.
The dress is in the sale for just £12.50! You can find it here (They also do it in orange). 

Then to the shoes. They are to die for - despite my struggle with walking in them. But the colour is beautiful and it adds a statement to such a plain, simple, yet gorgeous outfit for a night out. These shoes, here, were just £9!!! 

 I'm so tempted to buy the dress and shoes in different colours but I'm super happy with them both - I love the simplicity and the overall price of this outfit. 

What do you think? Would you add anything extra to spice it up a bit more?

When it's cold outside

The weather cheered up a little bit today which was typical as I had planned a day of revision. It was sunny enough to put on some shades but definitely not warm enough to go out in Summer clothing!


                            
Here's what I decided to wear, I must admit I 'threw it on' this morning, so it is a bit mismatched but I kind of like that look at the moment! 

                                     

Shirt  - Asda (pj top from ages ago). I tied it at the bottom to make it look more fitted.
Vest top - New Look
Jeggings - Vintage
Clutch - Primark
Sunglasses - ASOS
Lipstick - Revlon Colourburst Lipstick in 'Coral'

A very simple outfit but made a bit more interesting with a bright red/orangey lip. And I love new look vest tops because you can play around with them as a base for an outfit!

What are your staple items of clothing at the moment?

Dreaming of a sunny holiday

Here is my current shopping list for this years summer holiday to France. Yes I may be eager as it is only March, and yes it is only France, but I cannot wait to get away from the UK for 2 weeks! I haven't been able to go abroad for 5 years now so I am as pale as a sheet and dying for a break.



Topshop burgundy maxi front split skirt - £40
ASOS white dress with frilled skirt - £25.99
Zara pink long skirt with pockets - £9.99
ASOS culottes in tribal print - £15.99
ASOS woven t-shirt with jungle mirror print - £30
ASOS ash cindy bis high woven heeled sandal - £159 

There's nothing particularly 'out there' in my selection, I like to stay feminine and pretty during the summer. However, I have tried to pick some patterns and colours that I wouldn't usually pick to spice it up a bit.

Ok, so maybe I'll find some alternative sandals... I did screech a little bit when I saw the price tag! What's the most you would pay for a pair of sandals?
