wishlist #1

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5

1. Models Own Ibiza Mix - £5.00 ; Since joining the blogging world I have seen so many people talking about Models Own nailpolishes. I don't own any myself but am desperate to start my own collection! Personally I am a Barry M fiend when it comes to nailpolish but these could be my new favourite. Judging from everyone's opinions they are top quality, and £5 seems a reasonable price to me. I love glitter polishes so I think the Ibiza Mix will be my first purchase!

2. Topshop Metallic Drop Back Tank - £26 ; Trawling through the Topshop website I came across this beauty. I have a few t-shirts in this cut and they're really flattering and go with anything. This one is a subtle nod to the metallic trend and could be dressed up for a night out or down for a days shopping. Perfect investment. 

3. American Apparel Disco Pant in Black - £70 ; Disco Pants are everywhere right now. Everyone seems to have a pair. I'm kind of torn on them to be honest. I think they look amazing on other people but I cant quite decide whether I'd be able to pull them off or not. I'm a size 10 in trousers due to my ghetto booty and I'm not sure if I have too much ass to pull them off? I think if I go for it I'll try the Glamorous version first so that I've not paid out too much money if I don't like them. 

4. Real Techniques Stippling Brush - £11.99 ; Again, this is another item that I have heard loads about! I'm desperate to jump on the bandwagon and give it a shout. £11.99 is a decent price to pay if its as good as everyone makes out, and I'll be purchasing it as soon as I have some spare pennies. 

5. Box Charm Mixed Stretch - £8.50 ; I think the ethnic charms on this bracelet are really cute, and its a style I have been leaning towards quite a lot lately. I always look at Topshop jewellery online and think "ooh that's not too badly priced" but when it comes to parting with my money it can be a bit of a different story!  

If any kind strangers passing through this blog fancy helping me out I would not complain! haha.

Technicolour Shorts

I was away from blogging this weekend, I had a few days off and it was my flatmates 21st so I headed off to Edinburgh for a weekend of fun and games! She thought I wasn't coming until Sunday but I got a late bus there and surprised her. Definitely worth it as it was SUCH a good weekend.

Top - River Island - £12 (sale)
Shorts - Topshop - £15 (sale)
New Look - £10 (sale)
Bangles - Topshop, Miss Selfridge

Arriving late Saturday night did mean I was against the clock to get ready before we went out, but I managed! I didn't realise until I wrote it down that everything I had bought was from a sale. I can't say no to a good bargain!

This was the first time I had worn these shorts and I am absolutely in love with them. I can definitely see them becoming a fast wardrobe favourite. High waisted shorts are such a transitional item that can be worn with most things and are so easy to wear. I do find, however, that sometimes when buying them, because they're higher on the waist then they're quite short on the bum. These pair however are a perfect length in my opinon. Not too long but long enough to make sure you're not flashing your bum cheeks to everyone! The pattern and colours of the fabric are gorgeous as well!

Nothing suits a high waisted short better than a cropped top! The lace detail on this one is so delicate and lovely. Adds a girly, but slightly cheeky edge to an outfit. It was my first time wearing this too, but im excited to pair this with my other wardrobe items.

What do you think of this outfit?

Sunshine, Finally

So this is my first proper outfit post (the photos from my other one were taken months ago!). Since starting the blog I've been dying to start ootd posts, because I think that is mainly what my blog will consist of, but I've literally spent the last 6 days working solid. And my work clothes are not something that would interest any of you, trust me! But today I got to finish at 4pm which was great because the sun was blasting out this afternoon in the highlands.

Top - Topshop - £22 (similar here)
Shorts - Primark - £4
Converse - Schuh - £45

Raybans - replicas from Turkey
Studded hoop earrings - NewLook - £3.50

This outfit is nothing special as all I was going to be doing was walking the dogs around the field and lounging in the garden making the most of the sunshine! I originally bought these shorts a month ago at Primark to take on holiday with me. I definitely got my use out of them as they were great for a bikini cover-up around the pool or on the way to the beach. The pattern is quite unique and the colours are really vibrant. Even now, back in our terrible weather, I just wear them for lounging around the house or on the rare spot of sunshine like today!

This t-shirt is reeeeally old now ... maybe about a year since I bought it. The slouchy fit and understated design make it one of my wardrobe go-to's on a casual day.

So ... let me know what you think!

What's in my bag?

I saw a post like this on All Of Her Yesterday's blog, and took inspiration from her to do the same! I've only just started following her but she's got a great blog, go check it out!

I bought this mint bowler style bag from Topshop a few months ago. They don't have this colour online anymore but they do have this style in khaki, navy and tan. For only £36 you get a really good quality leather bag, and it's so roomy inside! Plenty of space for all the rubbish i usually end up lugging around in my bag with me! Typical girl problem I think.

Vera Wang Replica Purse - bought in Turkey
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Lip Balm - Boots - £2.99
Stila Lip Glaze (55a Fruit Glaze) - bought in TKMaxx 3pack - £8.99
Maybelline ColorSensational (175 Pink Punch) - Boots - £7.19
Nail Glue - Boots
House Keys
Paracetomol

Perfume - Butterfly by Accessorize - Gifted
Bottle of Water
Iphone - case from ebay here - £7.99

What do you all keep in your handbag?

Kukee

Studded Necklace - £4.00
(available in gold or silver)

Claw Bangle - £3.50

I've recently discovered a small online jewellery shop called Kukee. They sell fashion jewellery for such reasonable prices that its hard to say no! Personally, I find it hard to part with my money when it comes to full price jewellery in shops like Topshop as I think most items are ridiculously overpriced! That's why in a sale the jewellery section is the first place I head! I ordered 4 items from Kukee and the total came to less than £15 including p&p. Delivery was quick and each piece came individually wrapped in tissue paper and wee cellophane bags. I even got a free above knuckle ring as my order came to more than £10. As you can probably tell, I will definitely be ordering from there again! It's totally worth a look ...

Above knuckle ring - free with order
Spike and pearl ring - £2.00

Monochrome Stripes

Leggings - Ebay

Shirt - H&M

Cardigan - Primark

Blazer - Zara

Necklace - Topshop

Sunglasses - River Island

This is just an outfit I threw on to go to uni, quite a while ago now! I love these leggings, but I got them fairly cheap off of ebay and they're quite thin and the white stripes are really see-through. Means I have to always make sure my bum is covered, which I tend to do anyway when it comes to leggings! Nothing worse in my opinion than leggings worn as trousers! 

I snapped these sunglasses up when i saw them in River Island. I'd been wanting a circular pair for aaages and at £10 thought these were really reasonably priced. Have to admit I've not really worn them as much as I'd have liked, but I'm going to blame our rubbish British summer for that!

Its basically going to be posts on beauty, nails, clothes and fashion and everything else that interests me.

anyways, hope you all like it!
