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!

Topshop- Stepping in to spring

Jumper // Leggings

Yay it's been a sunny weekend once again!

So I fell in Topshop the other day and they had pretty clothes so I was clearly forced to buy them! These beautiful blue mini gingham print leggings are a great edition to my spring/summer wardrobe, they're so comfy too! I teamed it with this pastel yellow cropped jumper, keeping me nice and cosy still in the cold breeze. Then to finish it I chucked on my blue sandals. These babies were from Primark for only £10.. what a bargain!!

The Topshop sale is here now too, so there goes my chances of 'not shopping for a while' .... ha yeah like that was ever going to happen anyway right?!

P.S sorry about the smudge on the photo's I forgot to wipe the lens!!

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!

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!!

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?

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

I hope all you loved up couples had a romantic Valentines day yesterday, as well as all you sexy singles! 

I had a brilliant evening. My wonderful boyfriend Max cooked me a three course meal. This is a pretty big achievement as we are both hopeless in the kitchen!! I have to say I was very impressed albeit with a little guidance from his mum's partner but still on his own he managed to make some of my favourite dishes and they tasted delicious! He also spoilt me rotten, which was very naughty seen as though we said no gifts. This is because the weekend before we went shopping together and bought lots of nice things so said that would be our gift to each other. So I arrive with a card, box of maltesers and some milkibar mini eggs to find a giant Me to you teddy and a belly bar which I had wanted with a vase of roses. He's such a cutie.

For Starters we had Nachos (doritos) which is one of my favourite dishes! 

Our main course consisted of stuffed chicken on a bed of tagliatelli (this boy sure knows the way to my heart).

Finally for desert we had Gu pudding topped with straberries. 

So basically this meal consisted of some of my all time favourite foods, he sure does know me well. It was delicious!

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! :)
