WEEKEND WISHLIST

1 2 3 4

So, the week off for half term comes to an end as is October it would seem! I'm particularly not looking forward to going back to college, especially as the clocks have gone back and the darker, much colder nights have come in to tackle me for the long commute home. I do however have Tuesday night to look forward to as I'm going to see one of my favourite bands again, Dry The River!

I saw this cardigan earlier on in the week and haven't been able to stop lusting over it. I'm not usually a big fan of printed clothing but I think the fact it's white and lined with fur has made me love, rather than loathe. One thing I definitely do loathe is that Topshop feel £65 is a justifiable price.

All year round my room is overpowered with candles and incense sticks and when Yankee release their Christmas scents, I kinda go a little crazy. I purchased a couple of these tarts a week back and have been burning them through my oil burner, it's a great way of avoiding the price tag on the jars.

Girls (and boys), not sure I need to explain why I want this bra so much. Kinda perfect, as far as bra's go.

And lastly are these chunky loafers from Monki, absolutely love everything from their store at the moment. I don't doubt these would look fab with knitted tights, as do anything and everything this season.

Hope you enjoyed my weekend wishlist, extremely excited for the Halloween celebrations next week! Here's something else you can be excited about...

The breakdown to Winter is definitely one of my favourite times of the year. Having events such as Halloween and Bonfire night put a bit of spirit into our souls, taking us away from normality for a while. Having been invited to an 80's Halloween party, it's definitely proving difficult to come up with some costume ideas. (requests appreciated)

In this post I've put together a selection of high street/online clothing, footwear and accessories I think would be perfect for Halloween.

First is clothing! I love the preparation involved in organising your chosen theme and putting it together in terms of fashion. You can probably tell why I've chosen these two items, for obvious reasons! I know the dress isn't exactly the cheapest of numbers but I think it could be perfect if you're planning to attend a more formal celebration/party. For a more affordable option, I managed to find these adorable tights! They kinda make me wish I was younger and more adventurous so that I could wear them all day every day.

Footwear, something I've been going crazy for lately! These Jeffery Campbell Night Lita's would be perfect if you're clubbing this Halloween, with it's crazy bone print you don't have to worry about over dressing yourself as they are quite the statement. Still not sure how I'd feel about walking on an unsupported sole though. If you're looking for a perhaps more practical option, maybe go for these Point Rivets from Romwe, you could say they take Topshop's studded slippers to a whole new level. And if your still worried about the price, scroll down my blog and get  yourself 20% off.

Lastly, we come to the accessories and for me, the most exciting aspect of Halloween. I will definitely be on the look out for some inspirational make-up tutorials in the next few weeks but for now, I've listed you a few of my accessory essentials. A dark red lip can make an outfit look so 'vamp' and can look great with additional fake blood! To top it off, you've got the lashes and the nails. After seeing this brand 'Paperself' on websites such as ASOS and Topshop, I've been interested to learn a bit more about their products. In the process, I came across these 'Spider Lashes', I can just envisage them in my head paired with a smokey eye and an accentuated blush. Crazy, but I think it could really work. And lastly are these nail wraps I've mentioned in a previous post, I know that Beauty Crush wore them to a recent event and couldn't help but think how effective they looked.

A bit different in relation to the content today, nevertheless I hope you enjoyed it! Do you have any outfit/celebrity inspirations for Halloween this year?
