WEEKEND WISHLIST

1 2 3 4 5

This week has definitely been the founder of my Christmas spirit. I've been baking, ordering festive dvd's, visiting Meadow Hall's shopping centre (a girl's dream) gorging on Starbucks' winter drinks, late night walks with my pup and looking forward to the opening of my town's Frankfurt market which for me will officially mark that Christmas has arrived!

I think this week's weekend wishlist reflects my idea of winter warmers. Since the November chills have kicked in all I've wanted to wear is turtle necks and cable knit jumpers. I can't believe this long sleeved turtle neck polo is only £4.95! If you've got the patience to look through eBay searches thoroughly then finding alternatives to high street products at a fraction of the price makes it definitely worth while.

I love these moccasin style boots with the fringe detailing. I don't think I own a pair of brown shoes so can that justify the £80 price tag?

Lord of the Rings, you either love it or hate it and I'm definitely a lover. I guess this means I've got until the 14th December to take the plunge and read the book!

Hope you had a good weekend!

WEEKEND WISHLIST: SKIRT EDITION

1 2 3 4 5 6

Ok so you're probably wondering why my weekend wishlist has turned into a haul of skirts. Well, this week more than ever I've been skirt-obsessed. Each website, each store I can guarantee holds a skirt I wanna get my hands on.

I find that quite a lot of people seem to have this mindset that as soon as Autumn/Winter dawns we have to put our skirts to the back of the draw, but girls I refuse! (yes nana, I'm talking to you.)

I swear by tube skirts at the moment to the point where they are making a feature in the majority of my outfits. They're simple, elegant and need I mention the comfort element! I wore one out the other day with two pairs of leggings layered underneath (don't judge) and no-one had a clue.

Next is this denim number from Monki, this skirt needs to make an appearance in my life asap. I'm thinking, tights, converse and a blazer coat with a fur collar?

Glitter skirts are so damn cute, especially for the upcoming Christmas period. They're so easy to style from day to night and perfect for sprousing up a bland outfit.

Leather, hey. I have this mind-set of pleather skirts being quite seductive but I'm gonna put that aside for a moment. If you were in my head right now, you'd be seeing this baby I've chosen here, again from Monki paired with a plain top, chunky knit cardigan and a pretty huge snood. Now, I think that sounds pretty good. Don't you?

Lastly is my most darish pick I think, I've seen so many girls wearing these types of skirts and they look absolutely amazing. Whether or not that could transfer, I don't know but I thought I'd add it in anyway.

So, that's my mixed up weekend wishlist for our first week into November and only 7 more to go until Christmas!! 

Hope you enjoyed guys!

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...

Uh, put your thinking caps on and just envisage how gorgeous this outfit would look together... I know right.

I actually had a crazy thought myself that figured there was a lot more to my wishlist than fashion this week and that very thought most definitely included Matt Corby. So much so that he made it to my song pick of the week of which you can find by pressing hard on your down arrow or scrolling down, whichever you prefer. If you knew what I was listening to now, (Robbie Williams) then you probably wouldn't expect me to like him, but! he won me over more than a lot by covering one of my favourite songs by a band you should all already know, The Black Keys.

Back to reality as I cannot afford to be lusting over men with excessive amounts of hair so these boots are definitely the next best. They've got contrasted leather, a silver hardware zip, a not so high heel and are priced at a measley £24.99!

I'm pretty impressed with this weekend wishlist and so the next step is challenging myself to resist spending money on unnecessary goods (fast food) and go buy these instead.

What's on your weekend wishlist?

Whenever I blog these posts, it always dawns on me that the weekend is over. I can't complain mind because I've had a really lovely weekend, nothing whatsoever to do with the fact I went shopping (and spent more than I should have). I then spent the rest of the weekend having a meal with my Papa and having a mooch round the local market!

Autumn/Winter is catching up on me, more so financially then anything else, especially when it comes to coats, send help! Totally out of my budget range at a steep £150, but I'm a girl okay and I'm sure you can understand my need.

Next is a t-shirt dress, I've not been able to get the idea of t-shirt dresses out my head and after way too long of searching, I knew Topshop wouldn't let me down. I can't wait to get my hands on it (in more than one colour) and pair it with some over the knee socks.

If you follow me on Instagram, you will probably have noticed a trend of berry coloured lips. I can't get enough, it fits so well in with this time of year and gives us pale folks a bit of glow.

And lastly, is probably my most needed buy. This weekend has really proved just how quickly English winters can come and more so how unprepared I am. I need to get out of the habit of wearing my hair up all the time and I figured what not a better way than to stock up on some cute hats!

Now I'm off to try out some of my new LUSH purchases via a much needed hot bath. 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend guys!

Honestly, my week has been full of mixed feelings/ emotions and I have no doubt it's due to the fact I've been trying to recover from a cold. Thankfully, after eating a whole stock of Heinz soup I'm finally feeling back to my old self. I did however take pity on myself and took prime advantage of the student lock in on Friday (you can have a mooch at what I bought here). Kinda contemplating whether or not to keep the jacket, I don't know.. you tell me.

I've actually been really enjoying both the modern and Wordsworth classics recently after finishing The Great Gatsby. You're probably already seeing a link in terms of me buying books before a film adaptation is to be made. I don't know, I enjoy making that comparison to how the film interprets the literature. Even if it means being disappointed with the finished result. Back to the point, I know that On The Road is released here in the UK on the 12th October, possibly not giving me enough time to even place an order but I'm determined I'll get to read it one way or another.

These trousers are such a staple for me, chuck on a plain top and a bobble hat and it almost looks like you've put some thought into your outfit. One thing that isn't so staple is the price!

After recently buying a bag, I didn't think I'd be needing another one for quite some time. Until I saw this one. I just think it's so classy.

The last two items are definitely impulse choices cause everyone loves a sale (especially when it involves studs) and what girl doesn't need pretty underwear, right?

What's on your weekend wishlist? Do you have any good books/films you'd recommend?

So it's my last weekend wishlist of September! This month has literally flown by, as has this year and I can't quite believe we're steering towards the end of 2012 already. I know quite a few Westfield's have been holding a "student lockdown" recently and it just so happens that the one local to me is happening this upcoming Friday. I've been saving a few items, some being the ones I've chosen above especially for this event as many big retail stores will be offering any individual with a valid student card, 20% off.

As both a MAC lipstick and a Marilyn fan, you can probably tell how excited I am about this upcoming collection! Now I say upcoming, the full collection is currently available on the US website but not the UK, as of yet. I've had a peek anyway and I'm literally on edge to get my hands on some products, especially the"Scarlet Ibis" lippy. You can see a picture of the full collection here!
