For the love of Tartan!

one / two / three / four / five / six / seven / eight / nine / ten 

Heres a quick post with a wish/lust list of some of these beautiful tartan items! I love the tartan pattern so much, I am definitely a big fan for all things tartan, whether that's dresses, purses or blankets, whatever it is I love it. I just think that the tartan pattern is so perfect for autumn and winter months! I have also realised that I have always loved tartan patterns, and it is definitely not a fashion style I will never hate or not like. I do actually have a lot of tartan items in my wardrobe already but hopefully I'll get my hands on some more! 

I really love both the dresses I have shown above and think they would look lovely with black tights and big chunky boots or even black dolly shoes. Due to the striking tartan pattern I feel like everything else worn with the outfit should be simple and preferably black, same goes for the vest and skirt. The on trend and statement tartan items are ideal for the upcoming colder months. The tartan vans are also ideal for brightening up an everyday casual outfit.

   

Obviously some of the items on my wish/lust list are more expensive such as the Vivienne Westwood purse, which is so gorgeous and perfect. What I also love about the purse is the bright red interior to the purse which is really striking and distinctive, much like a lot of Vivienne Westwood's fashion range. This purse could also make a simple outfit that much more special and on trend, and would look ideal along side an autumn outfit. But ideally I'll need to keep my eye on a more feasible purse from a cheaper shop.  

I also love the statement scarfs, I have had several tartan scarves and would always love some more. The top right scarfs are cashmere scarves and I can just imagine how super cosy and warm the scarves would be. Ideally I would have a whole drawer full of these scarves to wear everyday. I have a burgundy, black and white tartan scarf from M&S and I am forever getting compliments and people asking me where I got it from whenever I wear it, so I would love to add to my collection. The other scarf in the collection above is definitely more affordable, but then again it may be worth spending more because I would much prefer the big chunky cashmere scarves because I feel like a scarf should ideally be big enough to wrap around yourself. This may also be why I love the tartan blanket. 

Do you love tartan? Would you buy any of these products? 

Wednesday Wish List #4

one / two / three / four / five / six

I thought I would do my usual Wednesday Wish List but just a brief one, as I don't have too much time to blog at the moment due to starting a new job, but I can always spare some time to do some wish list shopping! 

This week on my Wednesday wish list has very basic items and products on really. The checked shirt from New Look is a very usual and everyday look for me, I love anything checked and am definitely overdue a new checked shirt. For £13 the checked shirt is very hard to resist really, I love big baggy checked shirts, they're so comfy and create an effortless look. 

I am also after owning some more comfy trainers and would love some new vans. I love black trainers because they go with everything, especially skinny jeans, but also don't look too out of place with leggings or tights. 

Both the bags I love too, the faux black suede bag from Topshop seems perfect really. I am a sucker for anything suede or faux suede. Also I am due a new backpack too, as it would be a good idea for my new job, and for some reason I really love this animal print design.

This past week I have had really bad skin so I would love to try this new face mask from Lush, I have only used Lush bath bombs so would love to try some new and different Lush products. Has anyone used this product before? 

I also love this watch by Olivia Burton! I'm not usually keen on anything pink but this watch is gorgeous! Definitely wouldn't be one I could wear everyday, so would have to be a treat or be one to put on my birthday wish list, but that is why it is on my wish list this week! 

What's on your Wednesday wish list? 

Wednesday Wish List #3

one / two / three / four / five / six / seven

I recently had a clear out from my wardrobe and got rid of quite a few clothes, so really I could do with some new tops and jumpers. At the moment I love both the jumper and t-shirt from Topshop, I love anything with stripes on and that t-shirt would be perfect for a casual look with some skinny jeans. Also the grey jumper looks so cosy and perfect for the cold rainy days we have been having this past week. 

However, in the hope that we may have some more sunny days this August I am also loving these two crop tops from Topshop. The daisy crop top would be lovely for a hot summers day outfit with some high waisted shorts, and the black sun and moon crop top would be perfect for a night out outfit. 

I am also due to start a new full time job soon and so I really need a new bag to use everyday, ideally it would be a big bag to fit all my stuff into and even maybe a packed lunch as I'll be working long shifts. I usually don't go for anything pink or girly but I do really like this tote bag as the colours look like they would go with most outfits, it also seems like the perfect size. Also the bag is £36 which is fairly reasonable for a bag from Topshop! 

I have heard great things about the essie nail varnishes and these colours are so lovely! They remind me of mermaids and I think they would look great on toe nails.   

What's on your wish list this week? 

Wednesday Wish List; 6th August.

one / two / three / four / five / six / seven 

I have heard great things about the Topshop Joni jeans and I am due a new pair of jeans so may have to try these out! Have you tried them, or got any other jeans to recommend? I also love this pattern on the crop top from Miss Selfridge but I really need to do a lot of exercise before I can get away with wearing this style of top.

I have been after another Urban Decay naked palette for some time now, I love my Naked Basic palette and use it every day. I also have another collection of Urban Decay eye shadows so I would love another palette.

I have also been after one of these hair Tangle Teezer for some time now. I always wake up with a massive nest on my head after sleeping so this item would definitely help! Has anyone tried these before or would recommend using them?  

Recently I declared my love for the OPI nail varnishes, here is the post. So another OPI nail varnish had to feature on my wish list; and I just love this purple one called A grape Affair, but they also have some other great colours worth trying. 

I love Ghost perfumes and I am due a new perfume soon so maybe soon I will treat myself to the  Ghost Eclipse perfume. I usually get the Deep Night Ghost perfume but I think this version may be a nice change for the summer months. But I also would love to get the new Marc Jabobs Daisy Dream perfume so may definitely treat myself to that one instead! Are there any perfumes you would recommend at the moment?

Wednesday Wishlist!

one / two / three / four / five / six / seven

At the moment I am dying to get a new coat so I'll be ready for Autumn and Winter, and I would just love to own my own Barbour coat! I'm starting working full time soon so hopefully I will be able to save up and treat myself to a really nice coat. I just love the feel and look of all the Barbour coats, but ideally it needs to have a hood and be at least partially waterproof, for all the times that I'll be out walking my dog Pennie in the rain. This coat is perfect really! Although I will still be keeping my eye on other designs!

I have also been after some new trainers lately, I bought some Nike Air Max trainers last August and I just love them! I wear them almost everyday, they are just so comfy, and because I bought black trainers they seem to go with everything! But these Roshe Run trainers look so comfy too! Also the colour is a bit more summery and would also go with a lot of clothes I own. I am definitely now converted to keep purchasing Nike trainers!

At the Shannon Airport in Ireland I treated myself to an OPI nail varnish and now I want more! These colours are just so lovely! My nail varnish is full of blues but I am due a new purple nail varnish.

The Wildfox Grey Panda intarsia jumper is so cute! The panda design is so lovely and would look so great with some skinny jeans. However this jumper is priced at £205 from Harvey Nichols, so sadly I think this jumper will have to remain on the wish list! I'll just have to keep my eye out for a cheaper version!

The Black Cat Dandly Earrings are also so cute! As you can see I definitely have a thing for clothing items with animals on! Both the earrings and cloud necklace are from a company called Little Moose, and both these items are so adorable, definitely think this company is worth looking at and buying from!

This post was inspired by the lovely loulabeth! 

Graduation Outfit Wishlist!

So I'm graduating tomorrow from the University of Leeds for my Psychology degree so thought I would try to do a blogpost about my graduation outfit wish list. I do have a lovely outfit already picked out and sorted for tomorrow, but of course my outfit does not contain £110 Carvela heels, if only! 

I'm really loving the colour blue at the moment so the dress I've picked out is a pastel blue, as is the lovely OPI nail varnish I picked out. I thought that this colour of blue is perfect for summer, and is a colour I would feel comfortable in too. Also I think the colour compliments my pale skin and brown hair. My university colours are black and emerald green so I also thought that this blue would go with the robe that I"ll be wearing when I graduate. This dress is from Oasis and is £50, I also really like the simple floral design on the dress too, as I didn't want a dress too detailed or a sheer material because as I'll be wearing a gown it will be covering the dress and will also need to be pinned to the dress too. I also really like the simplistic white blazer from Vero Moda for £40 too incase the gown material is itchy or if the weather goes colder. 

Hopefully soon I will be able to treat myself to an item off this wish list, either the benefit Hydra Lip Colour or the cute daisy Pandora ring. Then eventually one day I may be able to treat myself to some Carvela heels! I'll keep wishing... 


Would you wear this outfit for your graduation?
