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

£150

2.

WHISTLES

£155

3.

So I do hope that those of you in the UK are enjoying the weather as much as I am, and that the weather elsewhere in the world is as equally as gorgeous. Let's celebrate it by making June our most fashionably fun month yet!

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?

February Wish List: Top Ten

February is one of fashion's biggest months. It is the month of the Autumn Winter shows that predict what we'll be wearing the following winter. Now, to some this may seem a little depressing - why think about next winter when we haven't even finished with this one? But to me it's exciting - the colder it is, the more clothes I get to wear! February is also the month of love, so this month there's a little bit of a red theme running through my Wish List. And I really am in love with the first item of my Wish List.

£280

January Wish List: Top Ten

Happy New Year to all! I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year, and are feeling refreshed enough to take on 2013 with appropriate vigour and enthusiasm! Personally I haven't made any "resolutions" as such - I already exercise regularly, I don't overindulge too often, and I quit smoking 7 months ago - however I have committed to generally improving my time-management so that I can improve on the foundations that are already there. Do you have any exciting resolutions for 2013?

January's Wish List is very much an actual Wish List, rather than a Shopping List, due to funds being incredibly low this month - however I still dare to dream! Evidently there are not many clothes on my list, as many of us are trying to shift those few extra pounds from the festive period, however I have included a trusty pair of jeans. The jeans are from Topshop and they're on the list as not only am I in desperate need of a new pair, but I have found Topshop jeans to be great for my shape and long-lasting.  The accessories, shoes and makeup I've included are fun and bright, and are ideal to cheer us up during the bleak January period - I know I need to shake off those January blues, and although it isn't everything in life, fashion is a good place to start!

1.


VICTORIA BECKHAM
two-tone crepe dress
£450

2.

MULBERRY
leather apple keyring
£70

3.

JAQUIE AICHE
double ring with bezel
£85.39

4.

FRENCH SOLE
henrietta galaxi ballet flats
£130

5.


TOPSHOP
moto vintage baxter jeans in mid stone
£40

6.


AMERICAN APPAREL
leather heart makeup pouch
£24

7.

TOPSHOP
latch crossover platforms
£58

8.

BOBBI BROWN
glitter sparkle eyeshadow
£20

9.

RAQUEL ALLEGRA
tie-dyed cotton-blend jersey sweatshirt
£205

10.


BARRY M
aqua glitter nail paint
£2.99

So I hope that my January Wish List has given you some inspiration in what can often be a rather depressing month. The Bobbi Brown glitter sparkle eyeshadow was included as firstly it is gorgeous, but secondly Katie Holme's first campaign for Bobbi Brown was revealed today, so do be sure to check out the Vogue review: www.vogue.co.uk
