Wednesday Wishlist - Monochrome Must-Haves

It's time for another Wednesday Wishlist. Spring is approaching, which means the shops are being filled with bright and beautiful colours, which I always enjoy browsing through. The majority of my wardrobe, however, consists of little black dresses - no matter how many times I tell myself I'll buy something colourful, I always end up coming back to black. It's classic, flattering and goes with anything (is what I tell myself when I'm putting back that bright orange top in favour of a black one)! So today, I thought I'd do a little pre-spring fashion wishlist, with some of my favourite monochrome bits and pieces from some of my favourite places to shop. I know we're into April now (whaaat?!) but I put this wishlist together a week or so ago, hence the "March 2015" caption!

ASOS PETITE Mono Aztec Print Peg - ASOS - £22.00

Aztec Jacquard Shift Dress - Topshop - £70.00

White Winged Mini Tote Bag - New Look - £15.99

ASOS Knitted Vest With Lace Hem - ASOS - £28.00

Wool Wide Brim Hat - H&M - £19.99

White Iridescent Stone Ring Pack - New Look - £7.99

That hat? I've been considering it for months now. Every time I go into H&M I try it on, and every time I chicken out. I'm not someone who has ever worn hats, so it's well out of my comfort zone, but it just looks so cool... should I bite the bullet and go for it?!!

Summer Wish List 2014 #1

Happy Wednesday everyone - it is now a full week since I finished my last exam and I am feeling good!

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day and it almost felt like summer! It inspired me to do a bit of online window shopping and pick out a few of my favourite items from the high street this summer. Sadly I'm not booked to go off on some tropical holiday and drink cocktails on the beach for a week *cries* but fingers crossed we'll get some nice weather here and I can wander round Glasgow in that summery parrot print skater dress... we'll see.

Wishlist - Pretty Printed Dresses

Tattoo Floral Teadress - Topshop - £45

Block Print Sleeveless Bodycon - Topshop - £29

Pussycat Neon Pink and Grey Tribal Wrap Dress - New Look - £25 - New Look - £19.99

Parisian Cream Aztec Cut Out Back Skater Dress - New Look - £19.99

Bourjois Rouge Edition Shine Rouge Making Of - Superdrug - £7.99

Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya - Superdrug - £7.99

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Nova - Superdrug - £5.99

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in Wine - Superdrug - £5.49

A little wish-list of pretty printed dresses and lipsticks, all from the high street! I rarely buy anything from Topshop (the prices just aren't justifiable to me!) but I really liked the print of the little white teadress, and I can't resist a bold bodycon dress! I'm addicted to the Revlon Lip Butters and Juicy Papaya is definitely next on my 'to buy' list from the collection! And although I probably wouldn't wear either the Apocalips in Nova or the Kate Moss wine lipstick (not the right shades for my skin tone!), I reckon they would look quite nice with the dresses I've paired them up with! What do you think? Where is your favourite place to shop on the high street?

My Summer Wishlist - Corals and Pinks from New Look!

I'm having a little bit of a love affair with anything pink and coral at the moment - my eye is just being completely drawn to these colours this summer! I was in New Look for a browse the other day and lots of pretty things in these hues caught my eye!

Candy Pink Crochet Heart Lightweight Knit Top (£14.99) - Love the shape of this little jumper, since we're not exactly having scorchingly hot weather this summer (or any summer in the UK these days!) this is perfect for a cooler summer day.

Gold Spike Gemstone Necklace (£5.99) - I have a slightly similar bronze toned necklace, with a few chunky spikes on it from New Look, but I really like how simple this one is.

Misumi Pink and Navy Apple Print Dress (£24.99) - How lovely is this?! I've seen a few fruit and veg themed items recently that are really sweet, my friend Cassie has a cute playsuit with a tomato print, which sounds crazy but it's so nice!

4 Pack Pink and Gold Cross Curve Plate Rings (£7.99) - I've bought a few rings recently (some really cute ones from Forever 21) and these are most definitely next on my jewellery wish list!

Tribal Tapestry Midi Skirt (£14.99) - I actually went as far as trying this skirt on and it was lovely, I still might go back and buy it!

Coral and Gold Chain Flip Flops (£15.99) - I love me a pair of flip-flops (we all know I'm not much of a heels girl) and I love the coral colour of this pair.

Coral Speckled Longline Boyfriend Blazer (£24.99)- I need a couple of jackets for work (now that I have a job!!) and this is a nice summery one, which would be so versatile.

What are your must haves this summer? From anywhere, not just New Look - I just picked out a few of the things I saw that I liked the most because I saw so many in there yesterday! :)
