My January Wishlist


I haven't done a good old-fashioned wishlist in a while and so I thought, why not make my first post of 2016 all about the things that I am currently lusting after? Of course, being the shopping addict that I am, there are waaay more items that I could have included in this blog post, but I somehow managed to whittle it down to just six! So, let's jump right in and talk about why I'm coveting these products right now!

Petal Embroidered Top - £24.00
First up is this super cute top from Topshop. In the past year, I have put on a little bit of weight (not majorly as I am still only a size 10) and furthermore, I have become quite self-concious about the tops of my arms. So, I have been loving long sleeve tops a lot more than usual. I adore the embroidery on this top and the fact that it is ever-so slighlty cropped makes it very on trend too!

Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm - £9.50
I bought my first pot of this stuff all the way back in July, which shows that it definitely lasts for a really long time. I can honestly say that this product has transformed the condition of my lips! I slather it on every morning and every evening before bed to keep my lips feeling nourished and hydrated. It also contains something that gently exfoliates your lips too, which means that is great for prepping your lips before applying a drying product - like a liquid lipstick - which can exaggerate any flakiness. This is a must have product for me and I need to repurchase it ASAP!

Olivia Burton Midi Dial Grey & Lilac Watch - £70.00
I really want to invest in a watch as I have never really been 'into' watches until quite recently. I never really wear much jewellery and I usually just use my phone to tell the time. However, I love the look of this gorgeous Olivia Burton number! Not only does it have a dial which will not be too big for my tiny wrists but it has silver hardware (I hate gold jewellery) and a subtle lilac coloured strap, which is my favourite colour!

Victoria Secret Bombshell Eau De Parfum - £36.00
My parents kindly bought me the rollerball version of Bombshell for Christmas after I picked it out in the store and I have fallen in love with it. I keep it in my handbag and I have worn it almost every day so far! I'm not great at describing scents but according to the website, it has notes of peony and vanilla orchid. Although, I highly suggest you go and give it a sniff for yourself as you will not be disappointed! It may even be taking over as my new signature fragrance, (my beloved Rihanna Reb'l Fleur,) which is definitely saying something!

Oversized Denim Shirt - £34.00
I am in dire need of a new denim shirt as my one is getting a little tatty. So, this oversized one from Topshop will be a welcome addition to my wardrobe. I love using denim shirts for layering and I think that it gives off an effortlessly cool kinda vibe! I could probably find a cheaper alternative elsewhere but when it comes to denim pieces, I like to invest so that they are of higher quality and are more durable!

MAC Lipstick in Taupe - £15.50
Last but certainly not least is yet another MAC lipstick that I am dying to add to my collection. I may already have two gorgeous nudes from MAC (Faux and Velvet Teddy) but Taupe seem to be that little bit bolder and darker, so it will pack more of a punch! I love MAC's matte formulas as they are long-wearing but they do not seem to dry my lips out at all! I am hoping to purchase Taupe really soon so that I can have yet another beautiful shade to add to my ever-growing collection!

So, those are the six items currently on my wishlist! What do you think of them? What is currently on your own wishlist? I would love to know, so please feel free to leave me a comment down below!

A Casual Topshop Wishlist


I have been loving dressing more casually lately and I am all about comfort and warmth during the winter time! I am often a little bit hit and miss when it comes to Topshop, even though it is one of my favourite high street stores, but recently I have fallen in love with so many items. So today, I thought that I would share some of my top casual pieces with you all.

Trouble Motif Tee - £16.00
I am always partial to a slogan tee and this one is no exception to that rule! I love how simple it is and it can be paired with literally anything - jeans, skirts, leggings etc. I also love wearing a monochromatic t-shirt with a checked shirt layered over the top of it during autumn and winter for a laidback look.

Cable Knit Pom Beanie - £14.00
There's nothing like a cute beanie hat to keep you warm during the winter months and this one really caught my eye because it has two colours of yarn running through it. Plus, I love wearing hats to hide a bad hair day too ;)

Jersey T-Bar Triangle Bra - £9.00
I'm one of those girls who hates wearing a bra and I always take mine off as soon as I get home - I just find them so uncomfortable! So, the idea of wearing a triangle bra that has no underwire is so appealing to me. You still get a tiny bit of support but none of the discomfort!

Slouchy Stud Embellished Holdall - £40.00
This bag is definitely on my Christmas list, as my current bag is falling apart! I love slouchy bags in particular because I feel like you can fit so much more into them and I am one of those people who carries absolutely everything around with me. I also love how it has silver studs as embellishment as I am a huge fan of silver jewellery as opposed to gold, I feel like it suits me a lot more!

MOTO Vintage Borg Western Jacket - £59.00
I already have a denim jacket from Topshop but the fluffy shearling lining both inside and on the collar of this coat really appeals to me. Not only will it keep you warmer during the colder months but it also adds another texture and some extra interest to an outfit too!

Hazard Lipstick - £8.00
Lastly, I have never tried any of Topshop's lipsticks but I know many people who are a huge fan of them. I have heard that their colour pay off and formulation are great! At the moment, my lipstick collection is lacking in the reds department and so this shade would be the perfect for me!

So guys, those are the items that I currently on my Topshop wishlist. I hope that you like them! Topshop have so many great things at the moment so I definitely recommend that you check out your local store or their website to see what you can add to your own wishlist!

Hauntingly Halloween-y


I was never a huge fan of Halloween back in the day but strangely, as I have gotten older, I have grown to love it more and more! Maybe it's because I really love experimenting with vampy and dark make-up looks, or maybe it's because for one night of the year you can truly be whatever you want to be! With that being said, although its still a few weeks away, this year I have no idea what I am going to dress up. So, I have put together a little collage in order to give myself, and all of you, some inspiration. Here are the ghoulishly gorgeous and devilishly divine items that I have picked out...


So, those are the few pieces that I have picked out. Unfortunately, not every store has put their Halloween stock online yet but I still managed to find quite a few cool ideas to get my creative juices flowing! Who or what are you dressing up as this year? What is tour favourite Halloween outfit that you have ever worn? And... if you have any fun ideas as to what I could be for Halloween, please leave any suggestions in a comment below!

Approaching Autumn


Now that we have entered into September, our summer is well and truly over! Although, autumn time doesn't officially begin here in the UK until the 23rd of September. This makes me extremely sad as I much prefer the hotter months of the year, however, I am really excited about some of the fall fashion trends that are circulating on the high street at the moment! I am obsessed with all things burgundy, khaki green and tan coloured at the moment as you can probably tell by my picks in this post. I am also loving suede and tassels right now, which are obviously one of the two biggest up and coming trends this year!

I am looking to add some of these colours and textures into my wardrobe soon and so today, I thought that I would make a little list of some of the items that I am lusting after. There are some really affordable and timeless pieces out there right now and these are some of my favourites;


So, those are some of the best pieces that I have seen so far on the high street this autumn! What is your favourite item that I have included in this post? What trends are you going to be rocking as we transition into this new season? As always, let me know by leaving a comment down below!

Festival Fashion



After seeing lots of celebrities looking absolutely fabulous at this years Coachella in California, I have become slightly obsessed with festival fashion once again! It's one of my favourite looks of all time because I think that festivals allow you to be really unique and play up your own sense of personal style! One of my favourite celebs that gets this style just right year after year is Vanessa Hudgens - she is definitely one of my major style crushes! So with that in mind, I decided to put together my very own music festival inspired look. All of the items featured are from Topshop, Miss Selfridge and New Look (three of my fave high street shops!) 

Hand Crocheted Bralet - £36.00
Crochet is one of the most popular trends during festival season and this top fits the bill perfectly! I love the rusty red colour of this one in particular. What I also like about this bralet is that the straps are relatively thick, so you can still get away with wearing a bra with straps on it for some extra support!

Floral Tile Print Shorts - £28.00
The pattern of these shorts match the crop top perfectly and they make such a cute combo! I think that you really cannot go wrong with a pair of high waisted shorts as they cinch you in at the waist, which gives you a lovely silhouette.

Geo Cutout Ring Pack - £8.50
This set of gold midi rings are so simple, yet really on trend and wearing multiple rings on each hand really jazzes up an outfit and takes it to the next level.

Semi Precious Stretch Bracelet - £8.50
Of course, this bracelet also ties in with the outfit perfectly! I love the design of this and I think it just adds that little something extra to this already adorable outfit.

Tan Buckle Front Saddle Bag - £10.99
Of course, at any festival you need a bag to store your essentials in and this one is the perfect size. It's really practical as it has a strap so that you can wear it securely across your body and it will not slip off of your shoulder in and amongst the crowds. Plus, the tan colour contrasts really well with the red and black outfit.

Tan Chain Front Ankle Strap Sandals - £22.99
To math the saddle bag and bring the whole outfit together, I have chosen these lovely flat sandals from New Look. It is vital to wear shoes that will be comfortable all day long yet still be fashionable at the same time. I love how the gold chain detail coincides with the jewellery that I have chosen too!

So guys, that is the festival inspired look that I have put together for you! Whats your favourite item? Are you going to any festivals this summer and what will you be wearing? I'd love to know, so feel free to leave me a little comment down below!

A Spring Outfit: Topshop

Spring has officially sprung here in the UK - hooray! The weather is finally on the up and daffodils are now rearing their heads left, right and centre. With that in mind, I have been feeling particularly inspired clothes-wise and so today I wanted to create a cute little spring outfit for you all. This is purely a Topshop based outfit post but all of the items featured (apart from the statement handbag) are rather cheap as far as Topshop's usual prices go, which is of course an added bonus.

As some of my regular readers will probably know by now, I love anything monochrome and so this Daisy Cropped Tee (£22.00) is right up my alley! I am a sucker for floral patterns too, so I just had to create an entire outfit to compliment this girly cropped number. Now that the temperature outside is no longer freezing, wearing these Bleached Mom Shorts (£28.00) would make a nice change to the jeans that we have been donning for the past few months! Although, if its not quite warm enough wear you are yet, feel free to throw on a pair of black tights! Now for the star of the show; this Suede Fringe Backpack (£55.00.) As I mentioned above, I have been loving the gorgeous daffodils that I have spotted around my neighborhood over the past few weeks and I though why not add a statement yellow bag into the mix. Backpacks are not only in this season but they are very practical too! Plus, the tassels add an extra cool textural element to the entire outfit. To finish off the outfit, I decided to add these Pointed Skater Shoes (£20.00.) Skater shoes are really popular at the moment as they are a comfortable yet stylish pair of flat shoes that make a change to wearing a plain pair of ballet pumps, for example.

To accessorise, I chose this Semi Precious Shield Ring (£10.00) and this Thin Ball Bangle (£5.00.) As the ensemble itself is already quite busy, what with the floral motif of the t-shirt and the super bright bag, I decided to keep the jewellery rather simple. Stone rings are all the rage right now and I thought that the bracelet was pretty yet understated at the same time. 

That's all for my spring outfit guys! What do you think? What is your favourite item? I am thinking about making this into a little spring series and creating outfits based on other shops too eg. Miss Selfridge, New Look and so on. Please let me know if that is something you would like to see from me! I hope that you're all having a lovely Easter weekend so far and I'll be back soon for yet another blog post :)

Mini Forever 21 Haul


Yesterday, I went out shopping with my Mum and she treated me to a few pieces from Forever 21. For the past couple of weeks, I have been attempting to update my wardrobe for spring & summer and so far I have found some gorgeous items. Forever 21 is a great store to go to when you want to get lots of things in one go because not only are their clothes really stylish, they are super affordable too! It is by my favourite store to shop in. Anyhow, without rambling on for too long, here are the three items I picked up.

First up is this stunning Floral Lace Mock Neck Top (£12.00.) I have been looking for some more dressy tops recently to pair with some high waisted jeans for when I go out to somewhere that doesn't require wearing a full on dress and heels combo. I loved this top in particular because to me, lace looks very sophisticated yet sexy at the same time. It is ever so slightly cropped which means that you one show a slither of skin. You could wear this top with a cropped black vest underneath it but I think wearing just a lplain black bra underneath would look amazing too. I can't wait to wear it!

The next thing I picked up with this cute Tribal Print Cami (£8.00.) I have really gotten into wearing camis lately as they are so girly and comfortable to wear. I also love the tribal print trend and so this top is the perfect fit for me! There was also a blue version of this top but I opted for this orange and brown colour instead as I do not have many neutral shades in my wardrobe like these. I know that I will definitely get a lot of wear out of it, in fact, I am wearing it as I type this post right now!

Lastly, I picked up this Striped Crop Top (£5.00) is it is a great basic to have within my wardrobe. Although on the website it is the price listed above, I actually found this item whilst browsing the sale rail and managed to snatch it up for a mere £1.99 - what a bargain! As with the other items in this haul, I know that this top will become a new staple for me as it is just so versatile.

So, those are the three items that I snapped up yesterday. What do you think of them? What are you doing to update your spring/summer wardrobe? I'd love to know, so please don't hesitate to leave a comment below!

TOP PICKS: Missguided


Over the weekend in the UK, we were blessed with some beautiful and relatively warm (for this time of year) weather. The clear skies and flowers starting to bloom really made me excited for spring time and for me that means one thing; updating my wardrobe! Every shop either online or on the high street now have lots of spring clothing in store already and it has inspired me to make a blog post from one of the best fashion sites around - Missguided. There were so many beautiful pieces that I found but I have finally managed to whittle it down to just a few of my favourites aka my 'top picks.' Here are the six items that I chose:

Crepe Khaki Floral Skater Dress - £25.00
To me, this dress just embodies spring! The fresh pastel colours mixed with the khaki green background is really unique and is perfect for this time of year. Plus, skater dresses suit a wide range of body shapes too.

Greta Paperbag Checked High Waisted Shorts - £20.00
These shorts really caught my eye as they are quite different from anything else I've seen online lately. I love the monochrome checked pattern and the paperbag waist really draws attention to your waist and makes it look teeny weeny!

Gingham Chiffon Peplum Shell Top - £18.00
The gingham trend is always huge during spring, it reminds me of the countryside and that classic milk-maid style. The peplum detail makes this top even more flattering too and the fact that its cropped means it would look great with a pair of white high-waisted skinnies too.

Scallop Lace Zip Back Shell Top - £22.00
I think it's clear to see that pastel blue is going to be an big trend this spring. The colour adds a lot of freshness to an outfit and this lace top has an element of class about it too; it would look great dressed both up or down, depending on the occasion.

Floral Bandeau Skort Playsuit - £30.00
This playsuit jumped out at me straight away. Of course, florals are always a consistent trend during spring time and I think that this would be the perfect outfit for going out with the girls or for a more formal event.

Bandage Asymmetric Hem Mini Skirt - £15.00
Last but not least is another outfit that would look stunning on a night out. The dusky pink colour is gorgeous and I think that both pieces are gorgeous. Plus, you can never go wrong with a bodycon co-ord, they are super sexy!

So those are my top picks for spring from the Missguided website, I hope that you like them as much as I do! Also, I am thinking about making my 'top picks' into an ongoing series on my blog, so please let me know if you would like to see more fashion posts like this in the future too! What are you most looking forward to as we go into spring time? What's your favourite spring trend that you've seen so far? Please let me know by, as always, leaving a comment down below!

Topshop Lovin'


I have spent a lot of time this week lusting over several items on the Topshop website. Therefore, today, I thought that I would share some of my favourite picks with you and create a little wish list! In recent months, I have found myself not liking much of Topshop's stock but they have seriously upped their game in my eyes since the New Year. As you can probably see, I am really loving a mixture of monochrome, simplistic items as well as some green and blue hues too. Now, without any further ado, let's get straight into my top picks!

90's Tile Printed Crop Cami - £20.00
I am a huge lover of any crop top and so this is right up my alley! I barely have any green pieces in my wardrobe, if any, and so I think that this top would be a nice addition to it. Plus, I think that the tiled pattern is very unique and different to anything else that I own! 

Vintage Mom Shorts - £28.00
I have been after a new pair of high waisted shorts for a while now and these ones look lovely! I love a great pair of denim hotpants as they are so versatile and you can pair them with absolutely anything. They are a wardrobe essential!

Semi Precious Bracelet - £6.50
I love dainty and simple jewellery as I have tiny wrists, therefore, chunky bangles etc are just not for me. The main thing that I love about this particular bracelet is that it has a little pop of colour; which would add a little something extra to any outfit! 

Black Watch Scarf - £22.00
I am obsessed with this scarf; it's definitely my favourite item in this wishlist! I, like everybody else, love tartan scarves and the purple and green combination of this one is really unique in my opinion. 

Berners Tote Bag - £38.00
When it comes to handbags, I like them plain and simple. So, this one is perfect for me! You can never go wrong with a plain black bag and it goes with absolutely everything, which means you never have to worry about swapping bags either.

Petite Geometric Panel Bodycon Dress - £30.00
Last but not least, bodycon dresses are my absolute favourite because they suit my petite frame really well. I think that this would be a great all-rounder to wear both in the day or the evening, depending on how you style it. Plus, the black panels will be super slimming too!

So guys, those are the six items that I am loving from Topshop at the moment. As I said before, they have some amazing pieces in at the moment, so make sure to pop into a store or check out their website! Do you like my picks? What items are you lusting after at the moment? As usual, please let me know by leaving a comment below!

My New Look Petite Fashion Finds


For Christmas, I luckily received two New Look vouchers and so I've been looking for the perfect items to spend them on. I did look through the sales but I didn't find anything that stood out to me, so I headed straight for the petite range instead as a few pieces caught my eye! I ended up purchasing these two gorgeous tops, so I thought that I would do a mini haul today in order to show you what I got. I hope you enjoy!

First up, I bought this lovely floral t-shirt. What really drew me to this top was its rusty, burgundy colour. I do not anything like this hue in my wardrobe and so I thought that it would be a refreshing change for me. I am also a sucker for anything floral and monochrome too, so this entire combination is perfect for me. I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this piece throughout the rest of winter (and into spring too!)

The other item that I purchased was this stylish check shirt. The main thing that I really like about this shirt is that it is actually made out of chiffon, so that really sets it apart from the rest of the check shirts I own already. It is ever so slightly sheer when you wear it, therefore, it looks dressy yet casual at the same time.



So, those are the two items that I picked up from the New Look petite range. I hope that you enjoyed this mini haul and as always, please let me know what you think of my purchases by leaving a comment below!

A Festive Night Out Outfit


Hi guys. Today I thought that I would show you a little outfit collage that I have put together for you. I came across this gorgeous cut-out velvet dress from Topshop the other day and I just knew that I had to feature it on my blog! Of course, you could style this dress in many different ways but I thought that this would be a cute look for a festive night out. The look I have created is rather simple with understated black and gold accessories, so that the focus is all on the dress. Whether you're attending a Christmas party or meeting friends for drinks, you're bound to turn heads in this burgundy number!

Topshop Cut-Out Velvet Skater Dress - £48.00
As soon as I saw this dress on the website, I immediately loved it. Not only is it the perfect colour for this time of year but the cut-out design makes it ever so slightly sexy too. Velvet, of course, is another great trend in the winter months too so this dress is an absolute winner in my eyes! Unfortunately, this dress is an online exclusive so you will not be able to try it on in a store before you purchase it but it is beautiful nonetheless!

New Look Black Zip Detail Textured Clutch - £12.99
One thing that I love about the design of this clutch bag is although it is rather simple, it has some lovely detailing on it. It features two faux leather fabrics that create a little bit of interest, as well as the gold chain and clasp too. I also love the fact that this clutch has a matching chain strap attached to it as well, which means that you do not always have to carry the clutch and you can have it on your shoulder instead.

River Island Black Teardrop Repeat Woven Necklace - £12.00
Although the dress itself is quite bold, it is still a block colour and so I thought that a statement necklace would finish off the look quite well. To coincide with the clutch bag, I chose this black and gold teardrop necklace from River Island. This necklace really caught my eye as it has woven detailing throughout the design that make it rather unique.

New Look Black Mid Heel Chelsea Boots - £24.99
Last but not least, I wanted to complete the look by adding a simple pair of black ankle boots from New Look. I think that these boots are the perfect height for a laid back party or an outing with friends because they will still be super comfy to walk around in. I definitely think that these boots are worth investing in because they are so versatile and are a key piece to any winter wardrobe!

So, I hope that you all like this festive outfit that I have put together! This ensemble would also look amazing with a pair of tights to keep your legs warm in the cold weather and a cute coat or jacket too. Which piece is your favourite? What accessories would you use to style this dress? Please let me know by leaving a little comment below. Thank you for reading!

My New Autumn/Winter Wardrobe Staples


I am a summer girl through and through, therefore, most of my wardrobe is made up of cute crop tops and flowy floral dresses. However, this year, I have been enjoying buying new clothing for the winter months a lot more than usual! I am loving a large amount of what's on the high street at the moment and so on a recent shopping trip, I picked up two new items to update my autumn/winter wardrobe. I think that both of these pieces are very versatile and bang on trend too, so obviously I couldn't wait to share them with you all! Let's get started...

First up are the Moto Sulphur Joni Jeans (38.00) from Topshop. Up until late last year, I wasn't a huge lover of jeans to be quite honest! I always hated how thick the denim was and how restricted I felt in them during the day. However, there are now lots of jeans that are made of much thinner materials that almost feel like you are wearing leggings instead. I bought my first pair of Joni jeans at the end of last year and I have been obsessed with them ever since. They hold their shape, are super skinny and the added fact that they are high-waisted means that they can be worn with a variation of different tops - which is something that I definitely need! My Mum treated me to a new pair last week and I decided to opt for the version with ripped knees, as they are really popular right now. I love the effect that they give and I can definitely see myself wearing them to death over the next few months.

Next up is this gorgeous Tartan Scarf (£8.00) from M&Co. Tartan is a huge trend every autumn/winter but this year especially, it is absolutely everywhere on the high street! I tend to wear a lot of monochrome in the winter and so I was after a scarf that could inject a little bit of colour and interest into my outfits. Of course, blanket wraps are the style to go for this year but they just simply drown my petite frame and do not suit me at all. I much prefer lightweight scarves instead but nice, tartan ones have been harder to find this year because of the blanket wrap craze. Nonetheless, I have finally found one that I love! Believe it or not, this scarf is from the teenage range in M&Co but it is the perfect size for me. I have gotten so much wear out of it already and I am sure I will be using it non-stop all winter long!


So guys, those are the two new additions to my autumn/winter wardrobe. I hope you like them! I am so pleased with my purchases and I know that both of these items are going to become absolute staples for me! Which out of the two items is your favorite? What fashion item is key for you in the colder months? Please let me know, as always, by leaving a comment down below and letting me know what you think!

My New Look Autumn Fashion Wish List


Hi guys. As the weather has taken a turn for the worse and it is now well and truly autumn here in England, I have been looking at updating my wardrobe a little and buying some items to keep me a little warmer. Although I am a summer girl through and through, I love the colours of autumnal clothing and one high street brand who are on point with these at the moment are New Look. Deep reds, purples, greens and monochrome items always catch my eye and New Look have these in abundance. So, today I have compiled a wish list of some of their best bits that I am hoping to purchase in the near future. Enjoy!

Dark Purple Bobble Stitch Zip Back Jumper - £19.99
Purple is my favourite colour, yet I do not have much of it in my wardrobe for some reason. When it's cold outside, my go to look is to wear on a simple jumper with a pair of jeans or leggings, throw on my parka coat and away I ago. This jumper certainly fits the bill for this and I love how it doesn't look too thick nor too thin, it's perfect! I also love the fact that the jumper has an exposed zip at the back, which gives it a little extra interest too.

Dark Grey Grid Check Scarf - £7.99
I have been looking for a checkered scarf that I really love for a while now and this particular one has really caught my eye. I love the fact that it is predominantly monochrome with just a hint of colour running through it, which means that it will go with every outfit that I wear this autumn/winter. I also like how long it is, which means that it will keep me nice and warm too!

Green Long Sleeve Check Shirt - £19.99
I am a huge lover of check shirts and already have quite a few in my collection, however, this green number is different to any of the others that I have in my wardrobe. I really like how versatile shirts are as they can be worn a number of different ways, as well as be worn on its own with a simple pair of skinny jeans. I am hoping to get my hands on this soon, as I can see myself getting a lot of use out of it!

Grey Double Flap Snakeskin Panel Satchel - £17.99
My black H&M handbag that I use every single day is looking a little worse for wear, so I am definitely on the hunt for a new one. I am not really a huge collector of handbags, in fact its one accessory that I seem to neglect. I have one set bag for day time and another for night time, and I rarely stray from that. However, this bag really got my attention as it is such a different look for me. I adore satchel style bags and I am in love with the pastel grey colour of this number too, as it will still match any outfit that I choose. 

Black Double Buckle Quilted Back Ankle Boots - £24.99
Last but certainly not least, I am after a new pair of boots to see me through autumn and winter. I have been wearing my New Look biker boots to death for as long as I can remember (I have had two pairs over the years,) but I also want a slightly less clumpy pair that I can wear with more feminine outfits. These ankle boots definitely fit the bill and I think that they will look great with a skater dress, wooly tights and a chunky cardigan. These boots are definitely high up on my wish list. In fact, they might be the first item that I purchase!

So, those are the five items that are currently on my fashion wish list. New Look have some amazing pieces at the moment, so I highly recommend that you check out their website or pop into your local store to have a look! Which item from my wish list is your favourite? What is on your own wish list at the moment? Please let me know by leaving a comment below, thank you!

My Recent Fashion Finds | H&M


Hi guys. Today I wanted to share with you the two amazing purchases that I made in H&M yesterday. I am making a major effort this year to get rid of any unwanted or unworn clothing of mine by putting them on eBay or taking them to my local charity shop. This is enabling me to buy some newer, more up-to-date items to add to my autumn/winter wardrobe. H&M have some amazing clothing in at the moment and I ended up having about 10 items to try on in the changing rooms yesterday! After a lot of deliberation, I managed to whittle it down to just two items as I am on a tight budget at the moment. So, without running the risk of rambling on, here is what I bought!


First up is this super cute jumper! I have been after a jumper like this for quite a while now as I just love the quilted effect that it has, which will add something a little new and different to my wardrobe. I also love the fact that it is cropped too, which means that it will go perfectly with my Topshop Joni jeans. Although this just looks like a light grey jumper from afar, the lines that create the diamond pattern have a slight blue tinge to them, which is a really unique and interesting extra detail. Not only this but the jumper itself is so soft and comfortable and at an afforable £14.99, I just couldn't resist!

My second purchase was this lovely little smock dress that was actually in the sale for just £7! I do not have that many casual dresses that are ideal for colder weather in my wardrobe, as most of my dresses are for clubbing and going out. This dress caught my eye immediately and if any of you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know it's because I love anything floral! I tend to be drawn to flowery patterns at all times, they're just so cute and feminine. I was a bit dubious about buying a smock dress at first because I thought that it could be too loose and drown my petite frame but this one is perfect. It's just the right balance between being flowy and fitted. I cannot wait to start wearing this dress as the cold weather draws in with tights, boots and a cosy knitted cardigan!

So, those are the two gorgeous items that I picked up in H&M yesterday. The store has lots of new and exciting pieces in at the moment, so I highly suggest you go and take a look for yourself. Who knows what you might find! Thank you for reading and as always, please do not hesitate to leave a comment below telling me what you think of my fashion finds!

My Current Topshop Wishlist


Hi guys! I think its safe to say that autumn is right around the corner (or is already here) in the UK. Therefore, it's probably getting to the time of year were we are putting our pretty summer dresses and skirts into storage and are looking to update our wardrobes a little as we transition into autumn/winter. I am looking to do just that and there are quite a few pieces from Topshop that have caught my eye this week. So, today I thought that I would share a few of these pieces with all of you. Enjoy!

Mixed Yarn Jumper - £34.00
First up is my favourite item of the bunch! I think that this jumper is absolutely gorgeous. I love that the knit is made up of lots of different colours, which means that there are a lot of options as to what to match it (or accessorise) with. I also really like the fact that the sleeves are slightly cropped too.

Lace Trim Shorts - £34.00
I have been after a pair of black lace shorts for ages and these ones look perfect for me. The lace definitely adds a feminine and dressy edge to an otherwise dull pair of shorts. I also love the fact that they are high waisted too, so they can be paired with crop tops and so on.

Gemini Ring - £4.00
I am a huge of simple silver jewellery and this ring is right up my alley. Of course, this is a horoscope ring and so Topshop do stock all twelve variations of this ring in both silver and gold! As my birthday is on the 28th of May, I am a Gemini. I just think that this ring is so cute and delicate, which is perfect for my small hands too.

Monochrome Tile Print Purse - £16.00
The purse that I have at the moment has seen better days and I have been after a new one for a while. I absolutely love the monochrome design and the purse also looks quite spacious, which is essential for me to store all of my money and various cards. This is definitely high up on my wishlist!

Dogtooth Leggings - £25.00
Last but not least are these really cool dogtooth leggings. I tend to stick to plain bottoms and opt for patterned tops instead but I am starting to think that I should be a little more fashion forward. I think that these leggings are super cute and would lookg reat with a plain black top and maybe a denim jacket.

I hope you have all enjoyed reading about what is currently on my Topshop wishlist. I am so excited to starting updating my wardrobe for autumn/winter. Which item above is your favourite? What is currently on your fashion wishlist? Please let me know by leaving a comment below!

My Miss Selfridge Wish List

Hi guys. I realised the other day that I have not done a fashion wishlist in quite a long time, as I have been mainly focused on beauty blogging lately but today I have decided to mix it up a little. Personally, I think that Miss Selfridge have really upped their game in the past couple of months and they have some amazing pieces on their website and in-store at the moment. So, today I have picked five items that I am seriously lusting after and that are firmly on my style wish list!

Feather Print 90s Crop - £9.60
First and foremost, my favourite item of the bunch is this gorgeous feather print crop top. If some of you have been reading my blog for a while, you would know that I have an obsession with crop tops but I tend to stick to more floral patterns. I think that this print is really unique and different, plus I love that it is monochrome too! I think that this top could be really versatile for dressing up or down and it is quite the bargain as well! 

Mint Wrap Skirt - £20.00
I have never bought a skort before, even though I think that they are super fun and flattering, but something about this mint number caught my eye. I love the simplicity of it and it would look great with a whole range of different tops too. Due to the fact that the mint colour is incredibly bright, it would look amazing with a tan as well!

Bumble Bee Ring - £4.50
My jewellery collection isn't very extensive but I do love wearing rings! I love this golden bumble bee ring as it is plain and dainty enough to go with any outfit. As I have small hands and fingers, I'm not a huge fan of large statement rings, so this cute accessory is right up my alley!

Tres Chic Clutch - £16.00
Embossed clutch bags have been a major trend lately and I think that the concept of them is so cute! I love the variety of different bags with phrases on that you can now find on the high street. I tend to stick to black bags when I go out as I am usually wearing a patterned bodycon dress of some sort (that's my signature style) but the added detail on this clutch spices up an otherwise plain bag that would therefore be perfect for taking your essentials in on a night out!

Petite Acid High Waist Jeans - £27.20
Last but not least, as autumn is fastly approaching, I am on the hunt for some new jeans to add into my collection. Due to only being 5ft2, I always have to go for petite jeans and these ones are really lovely. The fact that they are high waisted means that I can still wear crop tops and not expose too much flesh, plus I really like the acid wash effect on the denim too!

So, those are the five items from Miss Selfridge that have a place on my fashion wishlist, I hope you have enjoined reading about them! What is your favourite item in this post? What is currently on your wish list? Please let me know be leaving a comment below! :)

Mini Haul | Forever 21, Play.com, O.P.I & China Glaze


Hi guys. I have bought a few random bits and bobs lately, so I thought it was only right that I did a mini haul on my blog! Hauls are one of my favourite types of blog posts to write as it enables me to share some great finds with my followers too. All of these purchases have been made over the past month or so and I am really excited about all of them. So, let's dive straight in to this mini haul!

V-Cut Floral Dress - £12.00
First up is this gorgeous dress from Forever 21. I am a huge fan of bodycon styles as I feel that they suit my petite frame and do not overwhelm me, plus the v-neck cut is very flattering. I am also a huge lover of floral patterns and the colour of this one combined with this kind of watercolour effect is really pretty and unique. Considering how affordable this dress is, the quality of it is amazing! The material is very thick yet stretchy and there is even boning around the deep V to add some more support. This dress comes in another colour too, which my best friend bought as we loved them both, so we actually got one each to swap and share!

Faking It by Cora Carmack - £6.99
I recently bought this book by the author Cora Carmack. 'Faking It' is the second book in a three part series that I discovered at the end of last year. In the first book 'Losing It,' a girl studying at university is aiming to lose her virginity. She eventually meets the perfect guy but it is soon revealed that their relationship is forbidden and the story unravels from there (I don't want to give anything away!) The second book, however, is kind of a spin-off as it follows one of the other characters featured in the first book on his own quest to find love. I became addicted to the first book and so I am really excited to start reading this one too!


As I completed a three day intensive nail course in October last year, I have been slowly building up my collection of professional nail polishes so that I can eventually start my own mobile nail technician business. As I completed my course at my nearby Sally's store, I have a trade card which enables me to get products at a cheaper price than they are sold to the general public. I actually picked up these five polishes on a VAT free day too, which means that they were even cheaper than usual! Even though I cannot remember the exact prices (they were all around the £5 mark,) I wanted to share these beautiful colours with you all.

O.P.I Nail Polishes
The first O.P.I nail varnish that I purchased is 'Live.Love.Carnival,' which is a stunning coral colour. It is incredibly bright, opaque and I think that it suits every skin tone. It's a great all-rounder! The gorgeous blue colour that you can see above is called 'Teal The Cows Come Home.' I really love this polish as it has a lot of shimmery particles running through it and sometimes is nice to choose a rarer polish to wear instead of your typical reds, pinks or neutrals, which most of us wear the majority of the time! The last O.P.I polish in this mini haul is 'Cajun Shrimp,' a striking orangey-red that really packs a punch. I think that this colour is a nice twist on a classic red and the slight orange hue makes it perfect for summer!

China Glaze Nail Polishes

The first polish I got is 'In A Lily Bit,' which is a really pretty pastel lilac colour. I am really into milky colours at the moment, despite the fact that they are quite difficult to apply, and I have a feeling that this colour will be a popular one amongst my future customers as it is quite unique. The second China Glaze polish that I bought is a very bright fuchsia/purple shade called 'Dune Our Thing'. I think this shade is a nice twist on a classic pink shade that a lot of people reach for, so I have a feeling that this one will get a lot of use too.

So that's it for my mini haul! I hope you all enjoyed reading some quick reviews on what I have purchased over the past few weeks. Which item is your favourite? What have you hauled recently? Let me know by leaving a comment below. Thank you!

Top Of The Crops | My Current Favourite Crop Tops

Hi guys. Crop tops have become a major trend over the past few years and there is no sign of their popularity slowing down. With so many different patterns, colours, cuts and fits on the market, there is definitely a flattering and suitable crop top out there for everyone. The high street have got some amazing summer pieces at the moment, so today I thought that I would share some of my favourites with you. Let's get started!

90's Blue Floral Crop - £12.00
First up is this cute little number from Miss Selfridge. I am a huge fan of floral prints (as you can probably tell) and I love the blurry, watercolour effect of this particular crop top. I think that it is really pretty without being too in your face. This high neck line is all the rage at the moment too and I think that it would look great with my high-waisted Topshop jeans. Plus for £12, it is quite the bargain!

Pretty Lace Trim Crop Top - £28.00
Next up is this white, embroidered crop top from Topshop. I absolutely love this top because it has a different fit and style compared to the majority of the the items that I have included in this post. The cut of this is very unique, as it goes up into a slight point at the hemline - which is a great extra detail, as well as the feminine trim around the hemline. 

Purple Floral Tee - £30.00
I am in love with this top from Miss Selfridge! Purple is my favourite colour, however, I do not have a lot of it in my wardrobe for some reason. I love this top mainly for its bold and colourful print, it's just gorgeous! I also really like the fact that this top has a slightly looser fit and isn't bodycon, like most crop tops are. I think this piece is very versatile and could definitely be dressed up or down.

Tropical Seamed Bralet - £12.00
This number from Topshop is bang on trend at the moment. Tropical print is all the rage this summer and the colours of this crop top are simply gorgeous! I love that this top is so versatile and I think that it would look great with either a pair of denim shorts or a flowy, black maxi skirt. I think that this top would be perfect if you are going abroad this summer!

Yellow Daisy Print Racer Front Crop Top - £12.00
This daisy print top from River Island is next on my list.Although I am personally not a huge fan of wearing yellow because I'm blonde, I think that colour would look absolutely gorgeous with a tan. I also love that the monochrome daisies are all different sizes, I think it gives a really nice effect. As with the blue floral top above, the neckline of this is really fashionable at the moment too.

Miami Bra Top - £30.00
Last but not least is this beaufiful pastel, tropical print crop top from Miss Selfridge. I would definitely say that this top is more appropriate for night time occasions due to its V-neck shape, which will obviously expose your cleavage a little. There is also a matching skort to go with this bralet on the website for those of you who love the co-ordinate look!

I hope you all enjoyed reading about the crop tops I am loving and that are available on the high street at the moment. Which one is your favourite? Are you a fanof the crop top trend? Please let me know by leaving a comment below. Thank you!
