SS14 Pastel Wishlist

1. River Island- Tote bag
I am a huge fan River Island bags and this beauty is no exception!  I love the sophisticated look about this bag. If I could justify the fact that I need more bags in my life then I would definitely be investing in this baby!

2. Asos- Pink heeled sandals 
I feel the need to change my shoe collection a bit now. A few years ago I was going on nights out a lot so my wardrobe consists mainly of heels or flip flops! I really like the sandals that are around at the moment and this cute pair from Asos are right up my street! I have nothing like them either, so these need no further justification really!

3. Topshop- Gingham bralet This cute gingham crop is perfect for Spring and Summer. I'm a sucker for crop tops! I love the frills and bow on this it makes it a really cute piece I think!

4. Missguided- Jumpsuit with lace detail
This gorgeous Jumpsuit is a lovely colour and has a lace panel along the side. It's from Missguided which I love looking at but every time I order something from there I nearly always send it back because of the fit! (Sometimes I hate being so small)! This looks beautiful in the picture though!

5. Boots- Models Own speckled egg nail polish
I love painting my nails and buying new colours so I think I'm definitely going to have to get my hands on the new models own speckled egg collection. Perfect for Easter and the colours are so pretty!!

6. Shelly's London (Asos)- Mint Boots
I'm loving chunky boots at the moment and these caught my eye due to their lovely mint colour! I think they're subtle yet stylish and fit right in with the pastel trend for Spring.

7. Topshop- Yellow Satchel
Now I couldn't finish off the wish list without the beautiful Topshop satchel. I popped in to Topshop the other day and saw these all lined up in an array of beautiful spring colours! I might just have to make this a new edition to my bag collection!

Neon & Nike

Topshop- orange crepe dress // House of Holland- knee high tights // Ebay- bad hair day beanie hat // Sports Direct- Nike blazers // Dorothy Perkins- Triangle necklace 

Hey :)

So I know this season is all about pastels and I love the pastel trend BUT the sun is starting to shine and I'm feeling extra bright!! It's been dark and dull for wayyyy too long and I fancied brightening things up with a bit of neon orange! This crepe dress was bought from Topshop last year and I love it! It's been worn on a few nights out but I've never really made it a casual outfit! It has a dipped hem at the back making it shorter at the front and a small black zip at the top on the back. I have seen a few of these in different colours in the sales recently and I've been tempted to invest in other colour but I managed to resist! 

I paired it with these knee high House of Holland tights. I purchased these after seeing them on the very gorgeous Copper Garden... I must say she pulls them off miles better than I do so head over and take a look! I do love the black and white contrast with the House of Holland writing on these and they stay up well as they have an elasticated band. 

Finally my beautiful blazers! I've been lusting over a pair of these for ages, it's rather surprising because I'm not much of a trainer girl but I do love these!

Spring Has Sprung

 Asos Petite Structured Top- £28 - River Island Wet Look Leggings- £18 - Topshop Shoes (old) - Lipsy Rose Gold Watch

Hey guys!

Right firstly the photo's are not the best! I enlisted the help of my boyfriend and he did his best, bless him!

I love the fact that we are coming in to spring now. Yay for lighter evenings and sunnier days! So seen as though its spring I've decided I need to update my wardrobe!! I love the fact that pastels are coming back in! After scouring the internet I set my sights on a gorgeous two piece from Asos ! I've wanted a two piece for a while now but I just haven't seen the right one! Now your probably thinking why on earth is she going on about a two piece when in the photo's she clearly isn't wearing one!?! Well the top is actually part of a two piece set, however due to it still being windy and rainy I opted for a warmer disco pant option as opposed to the shorts that go with the top! Hopefully when it's nice day I can do the two piece outfit post! You can find it here! Both the top and shorts have mesh inserts near the edges, which add nice detail. The top is nicely structured giving it a good shape and it's a lovely pastel blue. I can't wait to wear this piece for spring and summer, I think it will look really pretty with a pair of flipflops or barely there sandals!!

Gingham // Monochrome

Topshop Gingham Treggings// Topshop-Fluffy Crop Jumper// River Island- Bowler Hat// Dorothy Perkins- Necklace// New Look- Ankle Boots

Hello you lovely people!

I've been wanting to do an outfit post for ages now but as I'm just getting back in to blogging for some reason I found it a bit daunting!

As you may already be aware I'm a lover of Topshop! It probably doesn't help that the shopping choices are very limited on the little old Isle of Wight, if I want variety I usually have to hope on a ferry and venture to West Quay or Gunwarf!

Anyway I've had these trousers/ leggings for a little while now but they are still available to buy in store and online! I love them, in fact I love this whole gingham/ tartan/ dogtooth trend that's happening at the moment! I feel it spices up my normal every day attire and its fashionable without trying too hard! I paired them up with my fluffy knit crop Topshop jumper *its so fluffy I wanna die* (despicable me voice) .... super cosy!

Along with another staple piece for anyone's wardrobe, the bowler hat! I got this one from River Island last year after lusting after them for ages and I'm so glad I did! They are so versatile and can make almost any outfit look that little bit more special.

This outfit goes well with a good statement necklace, I originally bought this in the Dorothy Perkins sale for a bargain price of £5!

Finally we have the classic ankle boots, very versatile! Now because of my teeny tiny size 3 feet these are in fact new looks generation range but there are many similar styles out there in a variety of shops at the moment and I'm sure new look have some great choice for adults too!

Lots to look forward too!

So once again I'm sorry because I haven't kept you all up to date on my blog! Life has been pretty busy lately, and after writing essay after essay after essay, the last thing I've wanted to do is write some more... even if it is about something a little more interesting! Luckily I have now finished my first year of uni WHOOO! I'm so relieved, no more essays to worry about until next year!

Right... so what have I been up too?! ... Besides working hard of course ;-)

For the bank holiday weekend I spent time visiting family in Basingstoke, I took the boyfriend along with me and we enjoyed a weekend of shopping, relaxing in the hot tub, eating Chinese and sitting in the sun enjoying a BBQ. It was a pretty nice relaxing weekend and nice to get away for a bit! It can sometimes feel like your a bit secluded living on a little old island. It's a nice treat to have a bigger range of shops to spend money in too! I did however restrain myself a little but still bought a few nice bits!

Got some converse which I've been lusting over for ages now but I was unsure of whether they would suit me as I'm a flip flops, heels and boots kinda girl but I really struggle when it comes to casual shoes! I'm so glad I got them though, I can already tell they will be getting the wear they deserve! I also got some new bikini's in the hope that we will actually get some kind of summer!?! Primark have some lovely ones in at the moment and as always really good value!! Another perfect excuse for bikini shopping is that I've booked a holiday to Turkey, 2 months tomorrow, just me and the boyfriend! I actually can't wait! Very excited!!

There's lots of exciting things coming up at the moment too, I will be donning my wellies for the Isle of Wight Festival in a couple of weeks! A girly spa weekend for my friends birthday, a hen do and friends wedding, hopefully some summer fun too *fingers crossed*!! ... Although even if we get a rubbish summer hopefully Turkey will make up for it! :)

Going on holiday is also the perfect excuse to get in shape so I think I've finally found the motivation I needed for that bikini body! So the 30 day shred lasted a week, these sit ups I keep telling myself I'm going to do never happen but now I have two weeks tomorrow to get in shape. I am going to work my ass of trying to turn my chunky monkey tummy in to a perfectly trimmed tum that's totally beach worthy! :)

Bright lights, summer nights!

I popped in to Topshop the other day to return a top while I was waiting to meet friends for lunch. Now I was trying to be good and return a top that I actually rather like in order to save myself a bit of money however they only had a bloody sale on didn't they!! Damn you Topshop!! So I returned the Top and treated myself to a few treats, with the very good reason of 'I need new summer clothes'... yeah right!! I like to justify my uncontrollable habit if I can! So I bought a lovely dark purple vest with with a lace strip down the back this was on sale for £15... after this I didn't do so well as I purchased some full priced item, but I just couldn't help it! I bought some high waisted short shorts, a neon orange vest top and some panties (ooo la la) I also recently bought a lovely blue lace crop top which I wore out for my boyfriends birthday a few weeks ago!! I'm hoping to do some proper outfit posts on some of these items soon but for now here is a little posing snap I got of myself in the neon top and shorts! Sorry for the quality and the state of my boyfriends mirror!!

I love the fact the warmer weather seems to finally be appearing. Summer clothes are so much nicer than winter clothes I think and for once its nice to not have to wear a coat!! I just can't wait for beach days in the summer, I do actually need to invest in a new bikini.... honestly I really do... maybe! 

Hope everyone has been enjoying and making the most of the sunshine!!

Asos Sale Treats!!

After a few months of saving and holding back from buying pretty clothes, I was browsing on the internet last night on various different sites and came across the Asos sale. Now I actually own nothing from Asos and very little from many other internet clothes sites. Its not that I don't like the clothes its just I usually order something and its ill fitting because I'm so small or not very well made. I guess I'm just one of those people who likes to try before I buy! It also doesn't help that I'm too lazy to send it back if I don't like it! Yesterday whilst browsing however I couldn't resist these lovely dresses and at bargain prices!! I'm looking forward to their arrival!! :)

Topshop

As you all know, or should, I LOVE Topshop. Don't get me wrong I like to venture in to different shops too as I enjoy a bit of variety in life. It doesn't help living on an island where you only have a choice of H&M, New Look, Dorothy Perkins, Jane Norman, TKMaxx, Peacocks and Internationale. I'm not even joking this is basically what our main town consists off. So its little wonder that I continuously revert back to my old favourite Topshop!!

So I have recently stated on a saving mission. I'm 23 and seen as though I have been careless with my money for all these years I thought now would be a good time to start thinking about my future! I have to say I'm very proud of myself this month, I gave myself an allowance and I actually stuck to it! As well as putting some money in my savings account, which I have not touched. So overall I'm pretty chuffed with my good start! The other day I had to go in to town to buy a birthday present for my boyfriends nephew, everything was going fine until I stepped out of the toy shop and straight across the road was Topshop staring me in the face. So being naturally drawn to it I popped over for a quick peek inside as it felt like it had been way too long!! I was very proud of myself as I came out with absolutely nothing (YAY) although that doesn't mean to say that I didn't want EVERYTHING (ARGHH) Luckily my boyfriend and I made a deal after I cut up all my store cards and he said if I make it to the end of the month without buying anything he would treat me to something in Topshop :) So far so good only 1 more week to go, so I'm hanging in there!!

GEEK Chic!

Topshop- Geek Crop Top £16

Skater Skirt- Primark 

House of Holland- Suspender Tights

Wedged Shoes- Matalan

I'm guessing all of you know by now about the Geek/Nerd/Dweeb Topshop t-shirt trend! Well when these first appeared in the shop I loved them, however being a stupidly small size the t-shirts swamped me due to their oversized styling! When I went shopping with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, I managed to get a nerd jumper in the Petit range (bonus). This was great although I still wanted that Geek t-shirt! Luckily for me Topshop bought out the prints on crop tops! Still in an oversized style but much better fitted to my tiny frame! So not only did I get the nerd jumper I also got the Geek crop top, smiles all round! I did also team this outfit with my Geek style glasses for the ultimate Geek look.... but I forgot to take a picture doh!! Sorry guys!! These Matalan wedges go perfectly with the colour of this Top too and if I want to get super coordinated I can team it with my Kate Moss 107 matter Lipstick!

So what do you think? Have any of you lot jumped on board with this trend?

February Wishlist

Even though I have put myself on a spending ban because I'm trying to be responsible and save money, I can't help but trawl through the internet and shops. Its like an addiction, I see things and I just HAVE to have them in my life! Here are a few beauties I've spotted recently which I would really love to add to my wardrobe!! I have never tried any of the Naked Palettes from Urban Decay, I love this new addition to their collection and it seems to be a reasonable price! I'm also currently loving the bowler hat fashion at the moment. I tried the Topshop one on but just couldn't justify the £25 price tag so was thrilled to find the cheap Ebay equivalents. I have wanted a Topshop Geek top for ages too but being so tiny the t-shirt just swamped me (I know its ment to be oversized but it was ridiculously oversized on me!!) I was so disappointed ... until they bought out these nifty little crop tops, still oversized in style but a much better fit for me than the t-shirt!

This weekend I am going shopping in Portsmouth which is a pretty big deal for someone stuck on a little island! My lovely boyfriend is taking me over and we are making it a pre valentines trip (because I'm away the weekend of Vday) including a meal out in Gunwharf Quays. So should be fun! Hopefully I will come back with some of these goodies but I am still trying to be good! I will not give in to temptation ...... too much! :)
