June Wish List: Top Ten

First things first, I must make a brief apology for my absence from the Bloggersphere over the last few weeks; I had a much needed holiday, and the week before and after have been totally crazy at work! But I had a really lovely two weeks away in Portugal, and have had inspiration for some holiday posts over the next month.

Now to my favourite month of the year - June! The sun is shining, everyone looks healthier and happier, and it is my birthday next week! My June Wish List is inspired by the beautiful sunshine that London has been basking in this week (please, please last for another few weeks at least!). I am loving the "White Heat" trend at the moment, and have complemented these items with some bright summery pieces (I am totally in love with the Topshop beaded rainbow jacket and the River Island dreamcatcher necklace!). So please do dive in and enjoy my June Wish List:

1.

TOPSHOP
rainbow beaded jacket
£150

2.

WHISTLES

£155

3.

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:

1.

ZARA
combination dress
£45.99

2.

NEW BALANCE
620 navy red trainers
£59.99

3. 

TOPSHOP
leather look t-shirt dress
£55

4.

RIVER ISLAND
gold toned pointed plate necklace
£10

5.

NEXT
metallic cuff sandals
£30

6.


CHANEL
le vernis nail colour in suspicious
£18

7.


CHANEL
rouge coco shine in rebelle
£24

8.


WAREHOUSE
dip dye skinny jeans
£42

9.

TOPSHOP
mesh insert colour block t-shirt
£20

10.


TOPSHOP
black mesh panel pencil skirt
£25

I hope you've enjoyed my May Wish List, and that the sunshine is shining where ever you are too. Be sure to like and share my Facebook page, where I share some of my short sweet fashion loves.

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.

WHISTLES
blue wooster tote (in the sale!)
£90

2.


MARC JACOBS
daisy eau de toilette 50ml
£45

3.


NEXT
blue pac-a-mac
£28

4.

DAISY
aura chakra bracelet in 24c gold
£86

5.


TOPSHOP
pink strappy cami
£18

6.


TOPSHOP
love tube skirt
£22

7.


BURBERRY PRORSUM
metallic python bow belt in teal blue
£495

8.


CHANEL
le vernis nail colour in rose exuberant
£18

9.

ZARA
zebra pattern jacquard coat
£89.99

10.

TOPSHOP
soldier colour block platforms
£80

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?

March Wish List: Top Ten

So, it's been a little while since I've posted. I've not forgotten about my beloved blog, I have just been ridiculously busy at work! As I work in events the nature of my job is that it comes and goes in waves; and unfortunately I nearly drowned in my wave on numerous occasions over the last few weeks! But thankfully I have finally found the time to write my latest post, and I must say I am rather excited about this one...

As you may have noticed from most of my posts, I often like to play it quite safe; but recent goings-on in the industry have inspired me to be a little more adventurous! The items I have chosen this month are all very "in vogue" with the current fashion fascination of luxe sportswear - inspired by the likes of Queen Delevingne (whose t-shirt I wanted to include in this post, but unsurprisingly they have all sold out, however it has been replaced with another amazing slogan tee saying "totes jel of my Chanel?" - if only I actually had a Chanel!). So without further ado, here are my top ten items for March:

1.

FRENCH SOLE
moochers in black dalmatian and ponyhair, with a glitter toe-cap, and neon green trim
£95

2. 

ZARA
combination jacket with zips
£89.99

3.


RAG & BONE
The Grand Prix leather-paneled twill leggings-style jeans
£250

4.

THE CAMBRIDGE SATCHEL COMPANY
lilac metallic 13" satchel
£65

5.


TOPSHOP
side split tee maxi dress
£26

6.


CUTLER & GROSS
0734 fuchsia
£310

7.


BURBERRY PRORSUM
metallic leather trench in metal petrol blue
£2,995

8.

WHISTLES
croc makeup bag in black
£35

9.


BLACK SCORE
totes jel of my Chanel? tee
£40

10.

TOPSHOP
knitted fluro twist jumper
£38

My mood for March is definitely relaxed with a twist of fun. What with all the gloomy weather in London at the moment, we certainly need a few fun (and warm!) items to cheer us up!

What is on your March wish list?
