The Wishlist | Autumn

I noticed that I haven't done a wishlist post in a while so, seen as Autumns on it's way, I thought I'd share some things that I've been liking now that the colder weather's on it's way.

NW3 T-Shirt with Cat Print- ASOS £29.00
ASOS has got to be one of my favourite shopping websites. They have such a huge choice and variety all in one place. This awesome cat print t-shirt is simple, but the colours remind me of Autumn and it would look good with skinny jeans or even tucked into a skater skirt.

Black Tiger Face Graphic Leggings- Newlook £14.99
How amazing are these?! Bold, I know, but I think I could manage to wear them and not feel too stupid...

Scratch Spot Tea Dress- Topshop £29.00
Skater dresses are my absolute favourite! I'd wear this with some super cosy tights (from Primark), either some Winter ankle boots or my Converse and a warm coat. The monochrome theme is just my thing too.

Knitted Mix Stitch Jumper- Topshop £36.00
I've never had a big slouchy jumper before but this year, I feel like getting myself one. This Topshop one is pricey but I know it would last me for quite a while and the two different kinds of stitching make this stand out from other plain knitted jumpers.

River Island Gold Tone Twig Finger Top Ring- River Island £2.00
I'm forever struggling to find rings that actually fit me, due to my fingers being so small. But this is so darn cute, I don't think I could resist! Haha.

Black Handbag- H&M £14.99
I've been needing wanting a plain structured bag to go with all of my outfits for a while now. I usually always go for either black or brown because they're easy to style and H&M have some very good priced bags to choose from as well.

So that was a - mini version - of my Autumn wishlist, I hope you enjoyed reading! Tell me what's on your wishlist thing upcoming Autumn/Winter!

The Weekend Post #16: Sun, Sun, Sun.

Heat wave? Yes please... With the temperate rising I've been spending more time enjoying the sun than I have been blogging recently, so it's just a quick post today. Apart from eating ice-cream (how can you resist an ice cream in hot weather like this?), shopping and carbooting I've been relaxing and getting burnt (nice).

 Had to take a photo of these lovely flowers

Sunset from the other night

I managed to pick up a stunning black and white striped ruck sack from Topshop in the sale for an amazing £10 too!  - I do love a good bargain - and I'm so excited about Maybelline Baby Lips being released here in the UK (finally!). All I need now is a BBQ.

What have you been up to this sunny weekend?

Happy 4th Of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! I wanted to share a few of my favourite American flag-inspired clothing/bags/accessories that will be suitable to wear today. Even though I may not live in America I can still celebrate :)

What did you wear on the 4th of July?

The Fashion Post #2: Spring Clean Your Wardrobe

Lets face it, our wardrobes have seen better days and Spring is the perfect time of year to chuck those old jeans and worn-out shoes and replace them with some brighter picks.
Sometimes our wardrobes can get a bit dark and dull looking in the colder months, but the perfect way to add a bit pop in your wardrobe is to invest in some pretty pastels.

H&M Ballet Pumps £7.99
These simple ballet pumps are the perfect Spring shoe. This nude shade will go with lots of different outfits too, now all you need is a pair of pastel coloured jeans, a baggy top, a cute blazer and you're ready to go!

Newlook Cream Lace Burnout Over-Sized Top £8.99
This top is very easy to style and over-sized tops are all the rage at the moment. Their laid-back look is perfect for this time of year and looks lovely tucked into some high-waisted jeans. The lace effect adds something a bit different to the top and it stands out from your regular over-sized tee.

Zara Shopper With Braided Handles £39.99
This bag is at the top of my lust list at the moment, big enough to hold everything you need (including laptops and iPads). Easy to style, you can either carry it by its handles or use the shoulder strap for a more casual look. Brilliant for work-aholics or busy bloggers on the go. This is a must have.

Topshop Ponte Notch Neck Jacket £40
We've ditched out coats but sadly it's not yet warm enough for short-sleeved t-shirts at the moment, so this lightweight jacket is ideal. If bright pink is too bold for you, there are some other shades but personally I think this is a gorgeous colour and would brighten up any dull outfits.

Next A Postcard From Brighton Jumper £45
Baggy jumpers look stunning with a tight-fitting plain vest underneath. This captivating pastel yellow shade is fantastic for Spring and will make a plain vest look stylish and elegant. Pair it with some skinny jeans or some leggings and there you have a lavish but relaxed Spring outfit.

The Fashion Post #1: Topshop Statement Pieces

Topshop always have a huge variety of jewellery to choose from, and when your outfit needs a little va-va-voom, their statement pieces are perfect to brighten up any plain dresses or you can even pair them with a baggy jumper and some jeans.

Stone and Spike Ring £8.50
This bold ring is bound to stand out from the crowd, with its bright neon pink. Perhaps you've forgotten to paint your nails or your outfit is a bit dull, pop this baby on and you're bound to feel ten times better.

Lux Triangle Collar £16.50
If you don't feel comfortable wearing bright neon shades, then listen up, this one's for you. Simple but effective and it will transform any old top, bringing it bang up to date.

Mixed Stone Collar £25
Now for the loudest out of the bunch. It just simply screams "look at me, look at me!". This, being the daring of the picks, is best for sprucing up your wardrobe and is without a doubt a Spring/Summer staple.

The Wishlist | April

So here are some products I'm currently lusting over, I can't believe it's April already! It certainly doesn't seem like April though, what with snow a couple of weeks a go and the amount of gusty bitter-cold winds we've been having here in the UK.
  

Diamond Pyramid Necklace £7 | This Works Perfect Look Skin Miracle £28 | Hydraluron Moisture Booster £24.99 | Joyrich Bear Face Jumper £98 | Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm £34 | Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanning for Face and Decollete £18 | Topshop Petite Purple Speckle Skater Skirt £16 | & Other Stories Blusher £10

So this months wishlist contains an abundance of skincare/makeup products, but I'm really trying to take better cake of my skin and I want to shake up my usual makeup routine and add a bit of extra colour here and there, and try something new. Which brings me onto the Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanner, I want to look more tanned because I think it just makes your skin look so much healthier and glowy, so a gradual face tanner would be a great choice for lazy me, as it's so easy to build up. And I'm sure most of you will of heard about & Other Stories beauty products by now, I like the look of their blushers, and I love the little message imprinted on the blush "Go girl, seek happy nights to happy days".

Fashion-wise, I'm on the hunt for a new skater skirt and this delightful Topshop speckled purple one really has me attracted to it. My Topshop black skater skirt is getting a bit worn out now, so I think it's about time I bought another one. And whilst I was systematically searching the ASOS website I discovered this Joyrich Bear Face Jumper. I absolutely love the vivid mint green colour of this jumper and if it wasn't for the steep price tag of £98 (eeep) I would most certainly buy this, or already own it.

What products are you coveting for? Have you tried anything that's on my Wishlist?

The Wishlist | March

As most beauty-bloggers out there will know how dangerous these kind of blog post's can be, especially to your bank balance, but I have promised I am going to save my money up now for a big shopping spree. Anyway here's a selection of products I've been lusting over.


 
        


       

Topshop Burnout Tee

I am and always will be a lover of Topshop clothing, every time I go in I can never seem to resist the urge and usually end up leaving with a bag or two... But I'm trying to save more so unfortunately I had to resist and put this top back the other day. ARghh I want it soo much!

Zara Shopper With Braided Handles

Believe it or not, I actually don't own a handbag from Zara, in fact I haven't bought a new handbag since..well I really can't remember. So when I was flitting through their website I came across this lovely and at £39.99 I wouldn't say no.

Burts Bee's Almond Milk Hand Cream

I've had my eye on this ever since EssieButton mentioned it in one of her videos and it hasn't left my wishlist since then, the only thing thats been putting me off is the price, £10 for hand cream, I just can't seem to spend that much money just on hand cream, but it would be marvellous if someone bought it for me though..hint hint.

L'Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick

My lip product drawer is overfull as I speak but one can never have enough lipsticks..ever. Enough said.

Vera Wang Lovestruck Floral Rush Perfume

The original Lovestruck fragrance was never really my cup of tea, I went through stages of liking it but it never made it's way into my shopping basket somehow. The design of the bottle is really pretty, not very handbag-friendly but it would look nice on my dressing table. I really do prefer the scent of this one compared to the original though.

Maybelline Rocket Volume Express Mascara

I almost bought this at the weekend but whenever I get close to picking it up a voice in my head keeps saying 'no Amy, you have enough mascara already' so I end up re-placing it on the stand and walk away. And yes I do have too many mascara's on the go at the moment so once I've got some used up I may just buy this.
