Winter Wishlist

I went shopping with my friend yesterday and as usual, my brain disagrees with my purse on what I want to buy and what I actually can buy...which means I build up quuuuuiiite a long mental wish list while I'm out.

So, definitely top of my wish list for winter is THIS dress...

It's a structured dress, it almost feels as if it has firm foam inside it which holds the shape of the skirt fairly stiff. The top has panels and a high neckline with an a-line skirt.

The dress is delicately glittery and just looks metallic and shiny (which I think looks better than tons of glitter that's in your face like BAM and you look like you've been dragged backwards through the cast of TOWIE's dressing room....) It is bronze but looks gold or rose gold under different light.

As always, please excuse the 'mirror selfie', it's the best I could do in the changing rooms. Oh -and ignore the fact that I couldn't be bothered to take my jeans off before putting it on!

I can't actually stop rambling about this dress, I really love it...

It is from Topshop, I shouldn't let myself near that shop! I always want EVERYTHING. The price of it was £65.00

I'll stop now...and just go and dream about this dress, and probably window shop online on Topshop's website...

New Year Wishlist: Mulberry Bayswater Oak Natural Leather Handbag

As we're almost in 2013 it's only right to make a totally unrealistic wish for next year, so after looking on the Mulberry website for about an hour and almost crying about how much I wanted some of the bags I picked my favourite and decided to blog about it, I mean you never know Mulberry might see this post and deicide to send one to us *HINT HINT MULBERRY*, but as this is highly unlikely I will just carry on wishing and tell you about it instead.

There were some close contenders for "Favourite bag" but after a long hard think I decided the Bayswater Oak Natural Leather handbag was by far my preference, but at £795 I think it's time to get a job and fast, even birthday money and Christmas money saved up together couldn't buy me this. 

What first drew me to this wonderful bag was the simplicity and elegance of the design, it just looks expensive and classic, which if you're paying almost £800 you would expect, the colour would go with a lot of outfits and the simple gold clasp doesn't overwhelm the simplicity. Even the "Oak Natural Leather" sounds extremely posh and adds to my overall lust for this bag, I imagine the leather would smell, look and feel like royalty in a handbag. 

So yes if anyone reading has a spare £795 and a generous heart I would gladly accept this bag as a present, but as that seems highly unrealistic it looks like I need to sort out my CV and apply for some proper part time jobs, because that seems the only way I am ever going to hold such a marvellous bag!

Wishlist 4: High Neck Beaded Crop Top

Topshop: £42: High Neck Beaded Crop Top: UK sizes 6-16

While wandering around Oxford Street's Topshop (one of the biggest and best Topshops around) we found this amazing high necked, beaded crop top. We both instantly loved it and would of bought it there and then if we had bothered to bring enough money out with us. The sparkly gold/silver beads that pattern the top make the rather simple design and shape somewhat more interesting and suitable for  more formal evening occasions as well as on a day to day basis with a pair of black skinny jeans.

Rather disappointed that neither of us bought enough money to buy it, so therefore this Topshop top is the fourth item on our wishlist :)

Wishlist 3: Pop Couture Kura Snake Print Jeans

Kura Black and Gold Snake Print Jeans - PopCouture - £23 - Sizes UK 6-14

Quite a lot of bloggers have been blogging about "Pop Couture" lately, having never heard of the brand before I decided to check out their website and was pleasantly surprised. They offer loads of cheap but good quality, fashion and fit clothing as well as accessories. 

An item that really caught my eye was these jeans, the gold pattern down each leg is really unique and striking without being "OTT", a great change to a simple black jean. 

I was also really surprised about how cheap this product was, £23 is very reasonable for such a nice pair of jeans. So these had to be the 3rd item on our blogs wishlist and will most likely be purchased ASAP!

Wishlist 2 - Gold sequin shorts

The second ever wishlist post, today I wish I had these amazingly sparkly gold sequin shorts!

£30- River Island- Gold sequin shorts- sizes UK 6-18

Sequinned or sparkly high waisted shorts seem to be in fashion right now as they seem to be in every shop everywhere, first I didn't really like them but then I saw a model wearing them in a magazine and they look really nice. Although many shops sell them my favourite so far are River Island's ones, I love the zip on the back and the variety of colours it comes in such as reds, blues and pinks. 

The only thing I'd say about these is that they are very short, so only wear them if you have the legs for them and if you are young and going out somewhere party-ish, because you would look a bit weird strutting about the high street at lunch time in these :)

Wish List - Topshop cream dress

 So many other people seem to be doing wishlists as it's coming up to Christmas, so here we go...

£50 cream crystal collar flip dress - Topshop - sizes UK 6-16

I first saw this dress in a magazine I recently read and immediately loved it, so it had to be my first wishlist post. This dress is a short cream dress with short sleeves, a cream lace waist band and a crystallised collar.

I really like the simplicity of the design of the dress with the hint of something more fun and sophisticated with the lace waist band and the collar with crystals on. I would wear this dress for a more formal/ dress up occasion rather than every day, and I would wear this dress more in summer than winter as it is quite short and light coloured.

The only negatives I can think of about this piece is the fact that it's white which can get dirty easily, however this could probably be avoided by the majority of people who are careful, also the price,  £50 is slightly too expensive for what I usually spend on a dress for no particular reason, however if there was an event or party coming up I would definitely consider buying this!
