May Wish List: Top Ten

I am going to be a typical Brit by starting this post with a comment on the weather, but HALLELUJAH the sun has finally been shining over here! This week I didn't feel a bit guilty as I indulged in my first ice cream of the summer (it was a white Magnum, and I enjoyed every bite as I sat in the sunshine for the first time in what feels like a century!). So for May's Wish List I have banished all coats and jumpers in the hope that I won't have to dig them out again until the Autumn (this will probably turn out to be naïvely optimistic, but hey, a girl can dream!). That being said, the palette of this Wish List would usually suit the darker months more, but I simply can't get enough of the monochrome that is out there at the moment. I've brightened up my choices with a few splashes of red; note in particular the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Rebelle, as this is what the makeup artist advised me to wear in my previous post. I have also included a Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Suspicious to complement the lip colour, as I am loving coordinated lips and nails. So, without further ado, here is my Top Ten for May:

April Wish List: Top Ten

For those of us living in the UK, March was a pretty chilly month, and if the weather reports are to be listened to, April isn't looking too promising either. As depressing as this may initially seem, I am inclined to use this unseasonal cold-snap to practice my styling for the colder seasons (although the high street is evidently trying to pretend that kinder weather is on the way, and Spring/Summer 2013 clothes are all that can be found in the shops!). I have chosen bright but layer-able clothes for this month's Wish List - such as the pink Topshop cami and the Next blue pac-a-mac - this way I can wear spring colours whilst protecting against the undesirable weather. I have also included Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette to bring some Spring scents into my life! So, here's a look at my Top Ten for April:

1.

So, I know it's cold out there, but do try to layer up some colours to put some cheer into your days! I'm also going to make sure that I up my exercise and eat cleanly (especially after all those Easter eggs!), and I'm hoping these little things will make a big difference in my attitude towards this dreary weather. 

What will you be wearing this April to cheer yourself up?
