Wish List!

Today I was going to do an outfit post, but to be honest it's so wet and wintery I have just chucked on some leggings, huge socks and a big jumper and have settled for a skirt wish list! I sometimes think I am borderline obsessive when it comes to clothes, it's almost like having a new item makes me really happy and i'm always on the look out for a new update to my wardrobe. I'm so sad I have to keep a list of things that I want to buy, because if I don't it would be a free for all and every time I went past a shop I would get something! Dedication to the list is the best option for my bank balance and probably my bursting wardrobe!

First up on my current skirt list has to be these! I definitely buy more top items like jumpers, tops and dresses and have limited bottom items so always end up wearing either my black jeans, black skater skirt or grey skater skirt, plus I love the style of the skater skirt and having them in more colours or prints would definitely solve a few outfit dilemmas! I really like all the American Apparel circle skirts but am always hesitant to shop in there because it's so expensive and a friend suggested River Island. I'm so glad she did because they have loads of gorgeous skirts in there at the moment and I really like these two. Burgundy is a great winter colour and goes with a lot of other colours and leopard print is a great print to add a touch of colour to an all black outfit. Plus they are only £16 and £18 so a bargain in my eyes!

Keeping on the skirt topic has anyone seen the online shop run by Lucy from Champagne Diamond? I think she's currently updating it so there aren't many items on there but there is one beauty that I need in my wardrobe ASAP! The cat print skirt! It's so cute I love it and love it even more after seeing Olivia from What Olivia Did wearing it on a recent post! It's such a statement item and so unusual, I can't wait to wear it with my off the shoulder black crop or wear my black collared jumper like Olivia! 

                                            

Last but not least is the Kadie Cross Beads from Motel Rocks which I have featured before but do really like. I think the cross collection from Motel is great because it's quite subtle, and allows you to try out the trend without covering yourself in crosses and making people ask what kind of statement that is! I also like it because it's black and I wear my plain black Kadie all the time so think I could create a lot of outfits out of this one item.

It is officially Winter! To be honest our Summer never really started so it doesn't feel like that big of a deal but the past few days have definitely felt full of wind and rain. I don't mind, I quite like Winter, or at least the thought of wrapping up in a jumper, coat and boots, I never think of the reality of when i'm pretty much crying on a bus stop because my feet are so cold! I am however looking forward to buying Winter clothes, I have my eye on so many things including a few jumpers, lots of shoes and maybe some not so Wintery items!

I have sold a few things on eBay over the past few days so I spent a lot of today packing things up and going to the post office, I like to package it up properly because it's always nice to receive a good looking parcel in the post rather than a squashed Tesco bag with your name on! My hair is having an absolute disaster at the moment I barely have a fringe as it's just disappeared into the rest of my hair because it's so long! I've decided to just pin it across until I have a hair cut, I love this headscarf though, it's really 60's and only cost me 99p on eBay! Apart from that this outfit is fairly simple which I like and looks a bit school uniformy which I also like! My red lipstick is from a company called Arbonne who I am a consultant for and stays on all day so you don't end up with the weird line on the inside of your lip! Tomorrow I will be working at Motel and will need to decide whether to order the Kadie or the Laynie baby doll, I think at the moment i'm swinging more towards Laynie but it could all change!

I really wanted to do another outfit post this morning, but the weather is so miserable I don't really want to go out anywhere, so i'm just gonna stay in leggings and a huge comfortable jumper watching films. This weekend I went to Brisfest, I was really looking forward to it and had a great day on Saturday but annoyingly yesterday was an absolute storm and I didn't fancy standing outside for hours on end getting cold and wet! Instead I just went to Wagamamas and did a pub quiz with my friends before going to bed very early! 

Today i've been going shoe mental, I keep thinking I need some good shoes for Winter however none of these shoes are sensible but they are very pretty! Mid way through making this post I realised that 3 out of 4 are from Boohoo, they have some great stuff at the moment and I ordered some Baroque leggings the other day which I can't wait to arrive! The Kitty and skull pumps are shoes I can definitely see myself wearing with black tights or jeans and as most of my shoes are black I think the beige spiked loafers would be a good addition to my wardrobe! As for the leopard chelsea boots, I wear my black ones all the time and have been very inspired by Alison Mosshart at the moment so these I can already see are going to be part of my A/W essentials!

I always look to Polyvore sets for outfit inspiration, I love the way you can type in a person/band/era and it will bring up complete outfits, which always give me new ideas of how to style items of clothing. It was only a matter of time before I started making them myself and although this is only my second set I think it represents my own style pretty well and fits with the current grunge trend which I am loving. I have really long eyelashes so my eyes are always the focus of my make up but I always love to wear lipstick and find dark purple really flattering, I know i'll be wearing it non stop during A/W! I have also been looking for a good camo jacket for a while and recently found a great one in Primark of all places which was a surprise! As for the rest of the items they are all things I would wear, especially the heeled chelsea boots, I just haven't found the perfect pair yet! If you like any of the items then check out my polyvore page here, everything is high street too so there won't be any disappointment like when you find out the socks are £100!
