River Island Wishlist

Whilst many are hoping that the worst of the cold winter months are over, I'm still desperately clinging to the hope that the days of frosty trees and icy dragons breath aren't behind us just yet. Luckily though, each day when I walk to school I still have to navigate the slippery pavements and wrap up warm in swathes of clothes, which I'm taking as a good sign that my favourite weather isn't quite ready to say it's goodbyes. I've always been a much bigger fan of the colder seasons - when I was younger it was because of the snow days and the excitement of Christmas! Nowadays it's because of my style...(and Christmas!). I love layering clothes and if I could I'd wear jumpers all the time. Being in England is a big help when you want to wear warmer clothes, but I still yearn for that time of year again when I can chuck on a scarf and gloves. Thankfully though (to me), it looks like the chilly weather is here to say for a bit longer. With the weather deciding to stick around a bit and my inner compulsive shopper taking charge, I've compiled a wishlist based on the incredible River Island sale (with a few items that aren't in the sale) :D (It's not even winter based?)

I Heart Fab.com...

Not long ago, I was suddenly inspired from reading one of my favourite blogs; Milk Bubble Tea. It's talented writer Becky published a great post called "Loving Lately". It was basically where Becky shared with her readers what she was (you guessed it!) loving lately ;)

As soon as I read it I tweeted Becky asking if she minded if I did a similar kind of post (I never want anyone to think I'm stealing their ideas and claiming them as my own) and Becky was more than happy for me to do it. Becky did say that I didn't have to link her in my post but trust me, her blog is amazing. You'd be missing out if you didn't have a read!

The other day I spent a good chunk of my evening browsing Fab.com. I love Fab.com as it always sells the most unique, individual and well, fab things. It's such an interesting website and I can't urge you enough to have a look yourself (be warned, it's addictive).

Here's everything I'm loving on Fab.com...

Designer Wishlist!

Hello All!

With LFW recently taking place, my desire for designer has only grown stronger :( Personally, I would never want to wear head to toe designer, I think having style isn't about just wearing labels. But anyone who says they wouldn't like to own a few designer things is telling porkies (that's my English-ness coming through :D). Having nice things is something people enjoy, and fashion is no exception...

*I don't own any of these images and have only used them for this post*

1. Topman Cropped Jacket & Trousers- I know Topman isn't classed as designer, but the brand did have it's own show at LFW and created quite a bit of hype about it. I absolutely love, this white cropped jacket :D I think it's stunning, and the trousers were featured consistently throughout the show (I loved them in every outfit) :) I don't know whether I'd be able to pull these off, but I just think they're fantastic. :D

2. Burberry Spotted Snood- These were in their LFW S/S 14 Menswear show and I want one soooo much! This one in particular actually! I love snoods and Burberry's spotted version looks fab, plus the contrasting blue and green looks great. Perfect for any season, weather or occasion :D

3. Mulberry Chocolate Hand Rolled Messenger Bag- I saw this on their website quite a while ago, and I still really want it :D I think it's gorgeous and the "creased grain effect" from hand rolling it works really well  :) Also, a three postman lock has been added which gives the bag the classic Mulberry look . What else can you ask for?

4. Alexander McQueen God Save McQueen Scarf- I can't get over how amazing this scarf is! Seriously, I love the British flag alone, but if you add Alexander McQueen to it= Wow. Sadly though it's price is £445 on Mr Porter :(

5. Alexander McQueen Wool and Cashmere Blend Peacoat- I love peacoats :) I really want one, and this Alexander McQueen version really stood out for me :D The colour is magnificent (big word there) and I love the contrast between the colour of the buttons and the colour of the coat.

What designer items do you really want? :)

Please leave me a comment as I love, love, love talking to readers and I always reply :)

Thanks for reading :)

My Autumn Wishlist!

Hello All!

It feels like I haven't blogged in ages! Which is ridiculous as I just published a new post! I recently went back to school to begin my final year (actually about 7 months :D) of high school. Since I've been back (for a couple of days) I've already been bombarded with coursework and essays/assessments :'( These next 7 months are gonna be reallllyyyyy stressful so I apologise if I don't blog as much. I will  post at least once a week, although I will aim to post 2-3 times a week if possible :) So please keep reading/checking my blog, I promise I've not stopped!

Anyway, I'm going off the subject. It's AUTUMN!!!! :D Actually I don't think it is yet...is it? I read somewhere that it starts in mid-October or something? I hope that isn't true. Autumn is my favourite season (check out my About Me page to find out why!), and I am soooo excited for it! I've read a lot of other bloggers posts and like me, they're excited for the wardrobe changes! We all love some sun and the warmth, but this past Summer in England has been scorching! I can't wait for the colder weather (Coats, Snoods, Scarves, Boots....ahhhhh) and I am seriously craving some new items.

1. Knit Jumpers- That picture is of my own jumper (which I love!) and cannot stop wearing :D Autumn is the time for knit jumpers, for both men and women. I got this one from George for about £10 earlier this year, and I reallllyyyyyy want some more like this! I can't seem to find any like this one though :( These are ideal for practicality and looking stylish. They're really on trend and are great for keeping you warm for long walks (Again, my About Me page describes my love of Autumn walks). If anyone can help me with finding jumpers like this one, please leave me a comment or tweet me :)

2. Boots- Boots are super on trend this Autumn (have they ever not been?) and I'm desperate for some new ones! I've used these Dr. Martens as an example, as I can't put in to words how much I want these Tattoo boots :( My only problem is that they're £120 and I'm a 15 year old without a job...however, I do have some birthday money and with a bit of saving I might be able to afford them, hmphhhh :L I'm not sure whether to get more jumpers, or these shoes? Please leave me a comment saying which you think!

3. I know weather is a bit of a weird thing to put on a wishlist, but I really want this kind of Autumn weather. When the air is chilly (but it's still sunny) and the floor is covered in leaves with warm golden shades. My ideal thing to do this Autumn (or fall, depending where you're from) is to have a long walk in a park with lots of big trees and leaves everywhere :D I know it sounds so cliche, but it's perfect to me :) There's a large area near where I live that's huge and its filled with a lake and trees.....ahhhhh. If I do go for a walk there (which I'm determined to do), I'll definitely be posting some photos!

I know that was a short wishlist, but I thought it would be nice to post about it anyway :) I hope you've enjoyed reading this post! Please follow me on twitter and Join This Site at the side :)

Random Wishlist!

Hey!

So I've decided to do a random wishlist post as I'm really craving a few items right now and I thought it might be cool to share them with you :)

1) Canon Camera= Right now I really want a camera like this, I do have a digital camera but the pictures it takes don't compare to the photos these cameras take. My July Favourites Post is a perfect example of how good the photos are! Alas, the cheapest I can find these stunners are about £280 and I definitely cannot afford that right now (sad face).

2) Laptop= I've asked for one for my Birthday next week (18th of August!) (Overly excited face!) as right now I blog on the family computer and I spend so much time writing and editing blog posts/the blog itself and tweeting etc that I tend to annoy other family members who'd like to get on the computer (I'm talking about you mum). I'm really looking forward to having my own laptop as I'm excited to being able to blog from anywhere and write posts in my garden (this weathers too good to miss!) (Cliche, I know).

3) Nicky Clarke Frizz Control Hair Dryer= My mum recently got one of these from Boots and even though I was using her old one, I tried this and I don't think I'll be able to go back to the old one. This one is quiet, professional, high quality and works extremely well (all of which the old one is not).

4) Paco Rabanne 'Invictus' Fragrance= Words can't describe how much I want this fragrance. It smells phenomenal (I don't use that word lightly). However, It currently RRP's for around £40 for 50 ml which I can't afford right now (sadder face). Hopefully though, It'll go down in price soon (fingers crossed), It's a brand new fragrance so It's bound to be expensive.

5) ZARA Mens Long Sleeved T-Shirts= I got this grey one myself (apologies for the bad photography) not long ago and I can't tell you how much I love it! I only bought it because it was £5-£6 in a ZARA sale and I thought...why not? It feels great quality and is perfect for the summer. It may be a long sleeved t-shirt but It's reallyyyyy light so I don't get hot at all when wearing it. Also, It's perfect for a really simple outfit cause I could pair it with boots, skinny dark jeans, and a snood and it'll look stylish and smart! (See OOTD Post). Although, I haven't been able to find it in other ZARA stores and I think they might have stopped selling it (horrendously sad face).

I hope you've enjoyed reading this post, please keep coming back for more and follow my accounts (Twitter, Instagram etc.) to keep up to date with everything :)

Thanks for reading!
