I have become obsessed with this random occurrence of spring weather this week and my wardrobe is partly ready. It has a couple of bits but needs a bit more of a spruce to get it really ready. I've been hooked with watching Lydia Millen on Youtube and on Instagram to see how she styles such simple outfits and that's got me wishing for a lot of, high end items like these...Everything that I talk about in this post can be found online from Acne Studios, the place for all your spring and summer fashion needs!

Summer Dress Wishlist
Sunday, May 13
We have officially booked our summer holidays, so the countdown is on! As a family we are going to the gorgeous island of Oahu, which is in Hawaii!! The four of us are obsessed with the show Hawaii Five 0 and we have always wanted to visit, so after saving up for months and months we're actually going this summer. I could not be more excited to spend some time in the sun! With the holiday booked, its time to start buying and getting the wardrobe ready - I find that this time of year is the best time to buy things after July everything seems to go pretty downhill.
The amazing site that is Quiz had just extended to now be available in the USA! Here in the UK, Quiz is an amazing place to buy all kinds of clothes from casual to formal and they have a gorgeous range of summer dresses too, that are perfect for any trips away and any occasion you have coming up. There are so many on the site that are gorgeous but these are my top picks:
> Blue and Red Floral Dress (Top Left) = I love the print on this dress, its advertised as purple but to me it looks more blue. It has a tie knot front which makes a little different from your usual summer dress. This would look amazing paired with sandals and a straw bag (which I really need to get!).
> Navy and White Bardot Dress (Bottom Left) and Striped Bardot Dress (Bottom Right) = Bardot dresses are going to be so popular this season and rightly so, not only are they comfortable to wear but they look stunning both in the day and during the evening when paired with some heels and a nice throw over.
> Red Dress (Middle) = There are a couple of reasons why this dress stood out to me, firstly the high neck. I love how formal this makes it look and it adds some length to the whole dress. The other reason is the sleeves! Just look at them, so frilly and perfect to wear in the evening. Red is also such a pretty colour to wear when you have a tan.
>Floral Print Skater Dress (Top Right) = This dress is perfect to wear either on holiday or for a summer party, even weddings! Its a off white, almost cream and features a gorgeous floral print. The off the shoulder style dress will look beautiful with a pair of tassel earrings and some wedges. I think I might just have to hunt this one down, slightly in love with the colour combination.
> Polka Dot Dress (Middle) = Is this not the most gorgeous dress? Polka dots are such a classic print to wear and if floral isn't your cup of tea then this is a great alternative. It has frill sleeves similar to the red one which adds some jazz and would look perfect in the evening.
I am ever so slightly in love with all of these! Which is your favourite?

If Money Was No Object
Thursday, April 27
The sun keeps gracing us with its presence and I am not prepared at all. My wardrobe is still full of jumpers and leggings, my makeup is still all deep toned and heavy. It is now time for a refresh and update to everything and anything. Wishlists aren't something I usually post but something inspired me to take all my browsing history over the past few days into a post and talk about what has been on my eye.
Winter Skincare Wishlist
Thursday, October 27
Stress, cold weather and litres of coke is not helping my skin at all at the moment. Its my own fault because everything that I am doing/eating is reflecting on my face but slowly it will get there. November starts on Tuesday (how crazy!) and its the perfect time to swap your skincare round and make it more winter friendly. I've become obsessed with skincare recently and this a wish list of all the things that I am lusting over on the 'high end' scale.
Getting Ready For Black Friday
Saturday, October 15
This year Black Friday falls on Friday 26th November, in the US its a much bigger thing than other countries. Until recently, the UK didn't really do much about it but then out of nowhere its blown up and retailers are all offering deals and discounts.This year it is so close to the start of December its the perfect excuse to get your shopping done on the cheap side.
Holiday Countdown Wishlist
Wednesday, August 31
Its officially the 'less than two weeks' countdown till my holiday, for one glorious week I am off to the sunny Crete - excitement levels are high and its right before I start university again, perfect timing!
However, my wardrobe is not prepared for the hot weather and cool nights that I will be experiencing. Here's a wishlist of some gorgeous pieces that I am in desperate need of...
Wishing for Summer
Sunday, June 19
Its June and the sun is hiding away somewhere, not right at all. I've recently been daydreaming about the summer, going away somewhere hot, escaping from life and not having a care in the world. If only, someone would whisk me away. Farfetch popped into inbox the other day with their Blogger Content Pack and it was packed full of so many different styles. I could see a common summer theme running through, but to different peoples taste. Sarah's from The Fashion Ache has a wishlist in the pack that screams summer. It inspired me to create a wishlist for all the things I want to buy (if i had all the money in the world and then go away on holiday with.
Birthday Blues
Wednesday, June 15
'Don't just count your years, make your years count.' George Meredith
So, that's another birthday over with. If you didn't already know, then on Monday was actually my 19th birthday! I can't actually believe that I am in my last 'teen' year, I remember turning 13 and now 19 - crazy! I'm a summer baby, so the last person in my friendship group to turn this grand old age. Its just how its always been, but having a birthday exactly half way through the year is good enough for me.
Birthdays are a real funny one, my whole life I have been at school for them, for he past 4 years had an exam on them and this year I was working! How fun! But I had a great weekend to compensate for it and enjoyed the day by wearing a badge and everyone wishing me happy birthday.
Spring Beauty Wishlist
Thursday, May 5
I seem to be in the mood to spend lots of money, some would say this is the way I am all the time. Nonetheless, I haven't bought any new beauty items in a while and its about time I do! My aim is to treat myself in a few weeks time, when I finish my first year of university!
Get Glamorous
Wednesday, April 20
Recently, I have spoken a great deal about the fact that my wardrobe needs an update. Slowly, but surely I am finally getting there! With a wider variety of clothes to get me through summer and more footwear options too! The part that is now lacking, is my evening. Quiz have launched a new collection, with the gorgeous model Chloe Lloyd called #GetGlamorous.. I have been eyeing up a few bits from the collection and thought I would share them with you....

Winter Warmers with Dunedin Cashmere
Wednesday, January 20
I was hit with snow at the weekend and now icy, cold weather. It made me realise that my winter essentials are not up to scratch. I have nothing but a coat and boots - nowhere near enough to keep me warm during the day. Today's post is a wishlist style post in collaboration with Dunedin Cashmere, who are a traditional cashmere shop that provide you with all the essentials you need to keep warm and cosy.

I don't know about you but my wardrobe needs a serious clear out, its full of odd bits and pieces and creating a capsule wardrobe that is perfect for me tempting me. I also need a good shop, online or in-store to spice things up a bit. My current attitude is 'wear what i see' but it is always the same thing.

Brands I Want To Try in 2016
Wednesday, December 30
2016 is just around the corner and my aim is to try as many new brands as possible. From budget ones to luxury ones, I want to buy and try. It won't be possible to try them all in one go but maybe each month I try at least one new brand or something?

These are some of there newer range and I had to share with you because of how amazing they are!

Trilogy Stores Autumn Winter Wishlist

Denim Edit
I am in desperate neds for some new jeans but finding the right ones can be a pain and I always end up going for the same style. I want that to change and am lusting over these three different ones, first up we have the straight leg - basic but comfortable and great to wear with anything you own. I am also loving the look of white jeans, little did I know that you can pull them off in the winter as well with a chunky knit. Then the one pair of jeans I really want to get my hands on leather jeans. They are rocker-chic and the small detailing such as zips add such an edge. Can you imagine them with a burgundy top and a biker jacket *heart eyed emoji*

Perfect Knits
Who doesn't love a good chunky sweater? At the moment the weather is all over the place but I am taking every chance to get out the jumpers and more recently cardigans. Not the ones you throw on top of a t-shirt the big wooly ones. I love the look of these long and fluffly cardigans as a chance to layer up and great to keep warm.
Folk Fall Tales
Then we have a trend that I have a lot about but never seem to know how to wear it. I read somewhere once that its like Bohemian but more simple with bold colours that pop. One piece that I love from the Trilogy Stores range is this Jumpsuit from the Alexa Chung for AG Jeans, How beautiful is it? Its a classic denim colour yet the long sleeves makes it look different and very chic. I would also add a over-sized scarf to complete the look and a cute little hat.
If you ever find your self in a fashion rut and need some inspiration take a look at Trilogy Store Lookbook, including how to wear the very tough material that is suede.

Joe Browns Summer Sale Top Picks
Thursday, June 25
Summer is finally upon us and I don’t know about you but my wardrobe is in need of a serious revamp. Joe Browns is a brand that creates a unique range of clothing items that are different from the items you find on the high street. Their BIG Summer Sale has just launched and I thought of sharing a few of my favourite picks from the sale and items YOU NEED in your wardrobe this summer.
1. Chill Out Trousers WAS £29.95 NOW £19.95
I have been on the hunt for a pair of printed trousers for a few months now and the hunt has officially ended today. These trousers are perfect, the colour is bright which is perfect for the summer and the pattern on the trousers is also very simple which makes me feel more comfortable to wear them.
2. Lacey Daisy Vest Top WAS £34.95 NOW £21.95
As soon as I saw this top my first thought was summer. Lace and daisies are the perfect combination for the summer time, and this vest top is great to wear with the trousers I mentioned above, jeans as well as a skirt. It can also be dressed up and down to suit you.
3. Tropical Jersey Dress WAS £29.95 NOW £17.95
This is one of those dresses that you can just throw on with a pair of sandals and your good to go. Perfect for those lazy days at home as well as for the days you go to the beach and want to just relax.
4. Polka Dot Skirted Swimsuit WAS £39.95 NOW £27.95
Isn’t this just the sweetest thing ever? It’s a swimsuit but with a skirt at the bottom giving you another layer and in my opinion make you feel more comfortable wearing a swimsuit. The print is also really pretty.
5. Floral Mac WAS £49.95 NOW £29.95
I live in England after all and summer isn’t summer without the rain, but instead of a coat something much lighter yet protective is the best option. This floral mac is absolutely stunning and I would wear it even if it wasn’t raining because I love the print.
6. Funky bow court shoes WAS £29.95 NOW £19.95
No Wishlist is complete without a pair of amazing shoes! This pair is quirky and fun, and very not me but this summer I want to take more risks and wear things which are bright and stand out similar to the trousers. The heel also isn't that big, making it wearable for everyone.
There you have it, my top picks from the Joe Browns Summer Sale! Is there anything that you have got your eye one?

Ebay Wishlist #1
Saturday, May 30
I browse Ebay far too much during the week, here is a list of all the things I am currently swooning over! If you see anything you fancy just click the small items below! Both the bags come in a variety of different colours, I seem to be more attracted to the navy blue colour and may just end up ordering it! Benefit is such an amazing brand but so expensive if you don't end up liking the products, buying little samples make it easier for you to see what you like and what you don't! I have a lot of makeup bags already, but this one has two cure little sections in and the polka dots are adorable, same with the makeup brushes I have way too many but I am wanting a brand new packet to take on holiday with me (more next week!!) And then the slogan on this sweater is my favourite thing ever.
Novelty T-shirts Wishlist| Christmas Week
Thursday, November 20
Welcome to another Christmas Week post! Today I am talking to you all about my favourite novelty festive t-shirts! I love wearing themed t-shirts and jumpers during the festive season as it makes me feel all giddy and excited, today is about t-shirts and maybe soon you will see one with jumpers!
All of the t-shirts you can see in the image above are from a site called Lush T-shirts who are a online store that feature a lot of different styles of t-shirts with funny and amazing sayings on them! They've recently launched their Christmas range and I am more than in love with, its amazing and there are so many to choose from creating this wishlist was a pain because I had to whittle it down to my top 5 to make it easier!
Heart Xmas - Buy Here The simplest of all five and by far the one that isn't as obvious and out there!
Snowman - Buy Here The way this t-shirt is designed is genius in my opinion because the eyes, nose and mouth all look really 3-D and I guess when you wear it, it will look like you're wearing an actual snowman and wearing a scarf round you're neck would be the perfect ensemble!
Let it Snow - Buy Here This is by far my favourite pick of the lot, even though the black isn't really classed as a festive colour the white writing on top looks so effective and 'Let it Snow' is one of my many favourite festive songs to sing and get me in the mood. I also think the two snowflakes on either side look super cute!
Mistletoe - Buy Here For all you romantics out there this t-shirt is perfect if you're trying to send a message out to a certain someone *hint hint wink wink*. I'm only joking! I would wear this t-shirt even though I don't have a special someone because the quote is sweet and mistletoe is a classic Christmas item!
Let it Go - Buy Here Another adorable t-shirt which is available in both white and black has this bright blue font on top to stand out and it seems a little bit Frozen inspired which is even better because who doesn't love that film? Like the snow above, the snowflakes add a little more cuteness!
Along with these, there are so many others to pick from and all at suitable prices. At only £15 you are getting a cute, original and quirky t-shirt that you can wear many times during the month of December. There are also some funny ones such as 'Ugly Christmas Outfit' and ' This Guy Loves Christmas' with two thumbs pointing at you!

Let me know if any of these appeal to you, and maybe if you're thinking about buying one?!

A Printed Jumpsuit for a lovely summer's day!
Thursday, August 29
Okay, there is no doubt that I am in love with New Look. Every time I go in there, I just want to buy everything and for me there aren't a lot of stores that make me react like that! I want to be a lot of things, but my purse will have a hole in it by the end of the shopping trip; so I decided to do a wishlist of some of the things I would really like to have in my wardrobe for these next few months. This time round it is play suits. An item of clothing I have always wanted to wear, but never gone and got one because I am scared of how it looks like on me. The play suits I am about to show you, don't scare me because they actually look flattering and hopefully make me look nice!!
Picking play suits for this wishlist was a difficult job, there were so many I liked..these 4 stood out to me the most!
#1 The first is by far my favourite one of the lot! This very simple, yet elegant black embellished play suit is perfect for a night out! Whether it is just for a meal or even on a date, this is the best way to pull of that 'no effort look' as it just requires you to put this suit on and accessories with a silver clutch, bracelets and either flats, wedges or heels! Wearing something very simple like this; gives you the choice and element of freedom to dress it up how you want and allows you to wear it however you like! The collar at the top is also a great feature as it makes the outfit as a whole stand out. This can also be worn on a summers day for a lunch time date, as it is black. Making it suitable to wear whenever.
#2 Next up is this orange, patterned jump suit. This bright and bold orange colour makes it perfect for that summer day out! The print on this jump suit is amazing as it is different to something you would usually wear making it more eye-catching and different. My favourite thing about this one is the love heart cut out on the back, which gives you that element of something unusual, and makes it look super cute. This paired with a tanned coloured bag and wedges would complete your casual look.
#3 Anything floral has my name written all over it. A floral patterned t shirt, jumper, jeans or even jumpsuit just screams out girly and cute! The thing about floral is that everyone can make it work, and on a summers day it is your chance to jump out and wear something that is not only a pretty print, but is also a mix of bold and bright summery colours. This can be worn everyday and every night until you get sick of it; as it will never go out of fashion due to people always wanting to wear it.
#4 Finally, a jumpsuit that looks like a pretty blouse tucked into a pair of shorts. This is best for those of you that aren't ready to jump in the deep end with jumpsuits, if you start off with wearing this to see how a jumpsuit would look on you then you will defo go and buy another one! This pretty floral play suit looks so sophisticated and simple at the same time, that people will actually think you are wearing shorts! Great for a summer day out to do some shopping or even out for a meal, you can rock this all the time.
There are so many more play suits on the new look website and in store, it is just that these are my ultimate favourite choices to pick and choose from that I would personally wear if I were to buy my first play suit.
