Autumn Wishlist Pt1

Hi everyone!

This is my Autumn wishlist, both fashion and beauty. Hope you enjoy!

Cargo Jeans

£29.99, Zara

I've had my eye on a pair of these since I saw them in a Japanese fashion magazine about two years ago, and these are not quite the same, but close enough. A friend found them for me after I asked after a similar pair that she had, and I must say these look as though they will fit well and I like the zip detailing. And hey, £29.99 is pretty pocket friendly for something I'd get so much wear out of!

Pussy Bow Blouse

£7.76, Ebay

I've liked pussy bow blouses for a long time and when I saw this one on Ebay I thought it was perfect. It's Asian import so it's really cheap, and the quality doesn't look all that bad. I love the colour and I think the black detailing stops it from feeling too sugary.

Two-tone Dress etc.

£6.73, Ebay

I saw this on Ebay and I instantly loved it. I really like the pale minty colour and the ribbon belt. Although it's quite summery, I think it could be a good layering tool and it would be fun to grunge up a little.

I'm not going to list the rest of the things I want from this seller because there are a lot of things! So I'll put the links here:

Converse-style ankle boots

£4.69+£2.99 P&P, Ebay

Again, something I've been looking for for ages, and I've just come across these on ebay! Although I would have loved pink ones, the khaki is a much more versatile colour and they come in my size too!

Fur Ankle Boots

£19.99+£3.50 P&P, Ebay

Although I love ankle boots, I'm quite fussy about them - but these seem to be the perfect compromise! I would have liked a wedge heel that was a little higher, but you can't have it all!

Pumps

£12.51+£3.49 P&P, Ebay

These aren't quite what I'm looking for (I'd like a paler colour) and I think the price is a little steep - I'm sure I can get these in Primark for £8! However, my life has a ballet-pump-shaped hole in it - well, several ballet-pump-shaped holes - and I really need to fill them, because I need more shoes if nothing else.

Makeup Brush Set

£0.99+£1.69 P&P, Ebay

For some reason, to me makeup doesn't feel good enough without a nice brush to apply it with. However I am stingy and I spent about half an hour looking for a decent set for a ridiculous price! These, at a total of £2.58 including P&P were exactly what I wanted, complete with a cute pink case! Needless to say these will be in my basket in no time!

Studs!

£3.29+£1.00 P&P, Ebay

I've caught the studding bug! I think it's a quick, cheap, easy way to add a bit of attitude if I feel a little too cutesy, not to mention it's great fun! This seller has a wide range of style, colours and sizes for what I've been told is a good price, and my fingers are itching to stud something!

Staple shirts

No picture because I can't find one online and I'm sure you know what I mean. I'm in dire need of some basic pieces and I'm a sucker for soft, feminine shirts, especially these blush pink and cream blouses that seem to be so in fashion at the moment. I'd also like to stud the collars of a couple. It's very satisfying to customise things and it's cheaper to stud my own stuff anyway!



That's part one of my wishlist, part two will come soon enough - there's always stuff I want when I have no money!

OOTD: 22nd August 2012

Hello all^^

This is my OOTD for today, which I am calling 'Fringing & Feathers'. I am sleeping over at my best friend's house today and we have been taking photos for our respective blogs (hers is vintagerosethoughts if you want to take a look^^). This look is inspired by After School Red's Jungah from their 'In The Night Sky' music video:

Here it is!

Top: Zara

Fringed 'waistcoat': New Look

Shorts: New Look

Feathers: New Look

Necklace: River Island

Ring: Gift

I've been looking for a top that I could style with this 'waistcoat' for a while, so when I dug up this studded top, I thought it was perfect! I've had this top for a couple of years but never really worn it, and I want to give it more love from now on! I decided to pair it with these high-waisted (but not enough for my unusually high waist) shorts, since the darker denim contrasts the lighter palette of the top and waistcoat.

 

Accessory-wise, I wore a little more than usual (but then I was trying!) and I decided to go matchy-matchy by keeping the colours consistent. The studs, necklace, ring and feathers are all in a slightly 'distressed' shade of bronzy-gold, which I like. I also think that it suits the slightly American-Indian flavour of this outfit. The feathers were a little less subtle nod to American-Indians but they were partially hidden by my hair so they weren't obvious on first sight.

 



 



I love the mix of textures and the blend of colours...hope you do to!^^

OOTD-July 7th 2012

Hello^^

So, today I'm stuck inside all day, doing all the homework that I've been putting off (yay for procrastination!), which means I don't really have to bother with dressing up. But anyhow, I felt like delaying the homework a little more and doing this, so here you go.

I've gone for the top and cardigan combo. I've had the top for a while, it's from the Generation 915 section of New Look. It isn't the best quality but it's good for a relaxed look, and it's a little embellished which means there's less need for accessories! (Three cheers for being lazy with clothes! xD)

The cardigan was a present from my mum, I think it's from Store 21 (which is now something else I think?) It's a little damaged but you can't tell. It's so comfy and the florals are really pretty :3 I've also got bog standard skinny jeans on, and cream socks (yay for socks!).
