May Wishlist!

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

I haven't been posting lately due to being so busy all the time! A PGCE will do that to you... But I thought I would take advantage of the bank holiday to do a quick blog post.



I love this "I feel the need for tea" mug, I love the design and definitely suits me down to the tea... (nice pun there...haha). This Olaf mug from the disney store is so cute too! Would be great to add to the rest of my disney mug collection. 

The two dresses on my wish list this month are unsurprisingly blue, as I love the colour blue, and it is definitely one of my favourite colours to wear and it's so lovely in Summer. I am also graduating again in July and need a new dress to wear. Hopefully, weather permitting, I will be able to wear a lovely summer dress like the one from House of Fraser. I may also need to check my graduation colours too though. The top on my wish list is also very appropriate, seeing as my favourite thing to eat is pizza... 

I am also due some new trainers for summer, and Nike trainers are by far the most comfy trainers I have ever owned. I don't usually go for anything lilac or pink, especially not when it comes to trainers but I have to admit that I love these Nike trainers. They would look lovely with jeans or demin shorts in the summer months. 

I've noticed that this flat shoes from Oasis featured on my easter wish list and now again on my May wish list, definitely think I need to have a trip to Oasis!

With the weather (hopefully) getting sunnier it would be a good idea to invest in some sun care for my skin. This dream screen from benefit may be a bit more expensive but I'm sure it is a great product and worth splashing out on. I also got a sample of high beam in a benefit set for christmas and definitely need to invest in a bigger bottle soon! 

A few people I know have also been raving about this Nars foundation and I was thinking I should probably see what all the fuss is about. 

Weekend Wish List!

one / two / three / four / five / six 

Spring is coming and some new bedding would be a nice update for my room, this floral bedspread from H&M looks lovely and would be great in summer too. At just £30 this bedspread is a lovely choice and is definitely affordable too. 

I am in dire need of getting my eyes tested again soon and definitely need some new glasses and I would seriously love to treat myself to some more Ray-Bans. I got some Ray-Bans sunglasses and I love them so much, but I got them years ago and my eye sight has definitely changed since then. However, I managed to get them for £50 last time so I need to keep my eye out for another great deal again! 

I am definitely overdue some new straighteners and I would love to treat myself to some more GHDs. I used to have a pair and then I was stupid enough to leave them on the floor and I accidentally stood on them and broke them. I do have straight hair so I don't tend to use straighteners that often, but it would be nice to have some new ones. 

I love this Nails Inc nail varnish too, it is so cute! Anything red is a must for me, love my red nails especially on my toe nails! I have quite dry heels too so would love to try this Burt's Bees foot cream, I love their lip care range so it would be good to try some of their other products too. 

Weekend Wishlist.

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

I love these pink shades for lips and nails, I'm usually not the fan of pink but I love pale pink nails and lips and both these items are so affordable. I have never used a lipstick from New Look but hopefully it's good quality but at £3.99 you can't really complain. 

I definitely due some new shoes at the moment too, and these loafers from H&M look perfect! at £9.99 they are a great price too, I tend to wear a lot of jeans too and during spring these loafers would look great. A trip to H&M is needed! My black Nikes are also looking a bit old nowadays too, so I would love to splash out on these Nike trainers, or perhaps I will just replace my current Nike trainers. 

I always seem to want new jeans, even when I don't really need them. I've not bought any jeans from H&M in a while and I used to find they didn't really fit me very well; I've got huge hips but love skinny jeans. But I would love some more black skinny jeans! These jeans have a waxed finish to them too so I think that they would look great on a night out! I also love both these casual tops, I am actually wearing a similar top to the white and brown one at the moment and love these style of tops so would love to have a few more. 

I adore this illustrated fox plate! It is by a lady called Katie Spragg and it would be a lovely collection to have, hopefully there are other designs of animals too. 

Hope you all have a great weekend! 

Weekend wishlist!

Now that the weather is getting so cold it would be lovely to have a new fluffy hoody to wear around the house, and this Nightmare before Christmas hoody looks ideal! I looooooove anything related to this film, it is definitely one of my all time favourite Christmas and Halloween films so this hoody would get worn lots! 

I'm also eager to try some new Yankee Candles smells, and the Honey Glow and Christmas Cookie candles sound like they would simply smell amazing! As their not too badly priced either they will definitely be worth trying. I'm currently still loving my Salted Caramel Yankee Candle, but I'm always wanting new candles! The Christmas Cookie candle sounds like it would be the perfect smell to fill your house with whilst writing out Christmas cards or wrapping presents! 

I'm due some new slippers, I have a tendency to lose them or at least one of them making the other one pointless... So some new cosy slippers would be a great idea, either them or some big fluffy socks! 

I don't really know why but I just love this simple cushion, and feel like it would look fantastic in my room. I used to have a slinky black cat and it still feels weird not having her around this house, so although this is only a cushion it would be a nice reminder of how wonderful my old cat truly was. 

I have had several people telling me to get this Lush product and it smells so good, so I suppose I really should go out and buy it and see what all the hype is about... 

Suede shoes are my all time favourite, I literally cannot resist them! These wedges look like they would be so comfy and will go with so many outfits! I may just have to find a slightly cheaper version though. I currently have some cream wedges from clarks like these ones and they are just so comfy, I can wear them all day! I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for some black versions. 

Last but not least on my weekend wishlist is this gorgeous bag from River Island. I tend to always go for black bags but this brown bag looks lovely and would look perfect with some Winter outfits. The bag is also very well priced! 

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? 

IKEA WISH LIST.

I am due to have my room decorated, or at least get some new furniture, so I thought I would do an IKEA wish list beforehand. First I need to get rid of some of my stuff, as I'm a slight hoarder, so I can actually fit in a new double bed in my small bedroom. 

I've just come back from living in Leeds for three years whilst at university, so going back to a small single bed isn't ideal, especially not when my boyfriend stays over too. So ideally I need a trip to Ikea asap! Heres a selection of my favourite items at the moment over in IKEA. 

Beds.

MALM £145

LEIRVIK £80

BRIMNES £165

HEMNES £165

Here's a selection of my favourite double beds that IKEA has on sale at the moment, I am so indecisive so I've not really picked my favourite out of the lot yet, so when I do go to IKEA who knows which one I will return with. Really I should probably pick one that isn't too girly incase I move out in the upcoming years with my boyfriend. Although I am swaying towards the MALM bed or the BRIMNES bed. Which do you like? 

Bedding.

PALMLILJA £35

ANGSORT £55

MALIN BLAD £15

DVALA £17

SOTBLOMSTER £20

With the duvet covers I am definitely loving the MALIN BLAD and turquoise PALMLILJA sets, both are affordable and will really suit the colours of my bedroom walls, saving me from redecorating. I do really love the ANGSORT duvet set too but unfortunately I think it is slightly out of my price range. I also love the DVALA duvet set, as you definitely can't go wrong with anything black! The SOTBLOMSTER duvet set is also really lovely, and I really do like the different and striking pattern on the duvet set. It will definitely be a surprise with which duvet set I return home with from my trip to IKEA. 

Accessories.

OFELIA throw £20

LYNDBY £10

STOCKHOLM £15

SNABBVINGE £4

GULORT £3

KNUBBIG £7

I just love the look of the OFELIA throw it just looks so fluffy and warm, perfect for snuggling up under during the cold months. I also love the pattern on the LYNDBY throw too, the colours are just so vibrant and warm, but sadly I don't think it will really match the colour of my room. 

I also love the quirky SNABBVINGE and GULORT cushion covers, for both at such a cheap price it will be hard to resist! I love the STOCKHOLM cushion too as I love anything with a leaf pattern or detail on. 

As you can see again I love the leaf pattern and detail on the small table lap KNUBBIG, my friend bought this lamp last year and I wish I'd bought one at the same time, may have to treat my room to a cute little table lamp this time round. 

These are all the items I've come across so far on the IKEA site that I love, but if you have any suggestions or know any great shops to go to for bedroom furniture etc please let me know!

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!

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?
