Want. So. Bad.

I know I have all-ready done a post with a Tiffany & Co necklace this week but I couldn’t help myself. I’ve wanted this necklace for a while now, mostly because of the classic “Return to Tiffany” heart tag pendant and the heart pendant with the Tiffany blue enamel finish. This necklace is just so pretty and so simple and what makes it better is that it is affordable.

Pick of the week.

My pick of the week is this absolutely stunning embellished dress. The flowers are gorgeous and I can’t stop staring at them. It’s also very Taylor Swift.

Hard To Get.

I enjoy window shopping online, especially with items that a student like me will not afford. Looking at expensive clothing and accessories makes me more motivated to be successful in my life so that I can afford them. If ever I am successful in life, and I have made big bucks, then I can guarantee you that my first purchase would be a Mulberry bag. I have a love for them, its unexplainable. They are stunning and simple and beautiful. This one is special because it has the Mulberry tree on it. Mulberry for some strange reason have stopped putting the tree’s on their products as frequently as they used to. I also love the plaited strap, it makes the bag a bit different from the others.
American Vintage is a brand that is more affordable, but not at the moment. They specialise in knitwear and they do it well. This cable know cardigan is gorgeous.
Last but most definitely not least, the Tiffany & Co necklace in rose gold. It’s just perfect in every single way. I love rose gold, it makes jewellery romantic and sweet.

If I had to buy one item right now it would be…

This dress is, stunning. It is simple, it is understated and it is elegant. Dot prints are so on trend right now. I prefer the bigger prints instead of the tiny dots which quite frankly, make my eyes go weird. The vintage collar and puffy sleeves make the dress a bit more interesting, and the elasticated waistline is not only flattering but almost makes it look like a shirt tucked into a skirt. You could have endless wear out of this dress because so much would go with it. You could pair a denim jacket with some boots for a casual grunge look, or put a soft pink cardigan on with some pale pumps for more of a vintage look. To dress up, put with nude or black pumps and a matching skinny belt. You could get so many different looks and styles from this one dress. I think it is something worth investing in.

Totes cool.

So I don’t know about the rest of the UK, but in Wales, from October 1st all retailers will be charging five pence per bag. McDonalds, Next, Topshop, Zara, everywhere. At first I was cool with it, I though that five pence is fine, but then I thought about how many bags I use when I go food or clothes shopping. All of those five pence's will add up, so we need to be carrying our own little bags around with us to save us some money and do our little bit to help the environment. I intend on purchasing all three of these bags as they are so amazing but the moustache bag is definitely my favourite!

I Moustache You A Question Bag - zazzle.co.uk - £7.60
Anchors Away Sailor Bag - zazzle.co.uk - £10.20
Letter Bag (Available in all letters) - alphabetbags.com - £12.00

bag a bargain

Just another sale alert here. This is a Marc B bag from Topshop that was £35.00 and is now £17.00. I love this bag because even though their not, as popular anymore, quilted bags are still good for everyday or evening wear and I think everyone should have one in their wardrobe. I have this exact bag in cream and it's useful because it goes with a practically everything and gives most outfits a bit of edge.

This bag is called The Little Venice by Marc B** and is on topshop.com.

p.s. Sorry if I'm not blogging as much. I started my first job on Friday and I have a very busy few weeks ahead of me so will try to post as often as possible.

q&a

"I'm looking for a Cardigan to go back to school and one to wear everyday. My uniform code is black. Could you help please?"

 So I thought I would do the everyday cardigans first. The ones I have chosen are wooly and nice and warm, as well as being able to go with a variety of different outfits. 

So the first cardigan is as you can tell very wooly and looks so warm and comfortable, as well as stylish and on trend. The ginger red colour is really pretty but it could be a problem because it may not go with a lot of things.

The second cardigan looks much better on a close up photo, so I suggest going on the website to look at this cardi because it really is stunning. The best thing about this one is that it should go with just about anything in your wardrobe as it is an off white colour and I love the detail of the shoulders.

The third is a very thick wooly cardi with cute wooden buttons. This would once again go with practically anything.

The last one is very cute and ditsy. I chose this because I love the skirt detail at the bottom, and I love the colour. If you have a lot of creams in your wardrobe then this would go lovely with them and it would also go lush with some light denim jeans.

My favourate cardigan is probably the third one. I love the old granny look to it and the black bits mixed with the taupe. Also the wooden buttons are gorgeous and gives the cardi a vintage and expensive look.

Crochet Doiley Cardi - Miss Selfridge - £40.00
Knitted Textured Slouch Cardi - Topshop - £40.00
Mink Spot Hem Cardi - Miss Selfridge - £35.00

 Here are the cardigans that I picked for back to school. I tried not to pick boring or plain ones because you can get them easily from stores like new look or if your on a tight budget, Tesco or Asda because I've seen some cute ones there recently for amazing prices. For really nice plain ones though I recommend Zara. That's where I have always got my plain cardi's from (In my school, were not allowed anything on our jumpers or cardi's).

The first cardi is really unique, I've never seen feathers like this on the high street and it gives it a designer edge. So the cardi is quite simple but with the shoulder detail it makes it a bit special and I think if you had this cardi, you would have people asking you where it's from and how much they like it.

Second is a simple yet different cardi. I really like this and it looks so good on the model on the website, so just click on the link and take a look at how good it looks on. This could easily be worn for casual wear as well as school uniform.

Next is a cardi that I have seen on a person at my school and it looked really good with the school polo shirt underneath. It looks white plain but the "waterfall" detail is flawless and falls nicely, which makes your waist look tiny.

Last is the military style cardi, if you want to add a bit of edge to your school uniform then I suggest this. The tassel detail is really cute and like the first cardi, I haven't seen this much on cardi's on the high street.

My favourate cardi is the second one with the white trim. I really love looking at this on the model and how well it goes with casual clothes as well as uniform. Also when you look below you will see how amazing the price is which is another reason to buy it right now! 

Feather Shoulder Cardi - Oasis - £50.00
Amber Contrast Trim Jersey Cardigan - Boohoo - £8.00

trilby hats

I am a big fan of trilby hats. They seem to be the only hats that look good on me. I love that for one hat, there are so many different styles and types. Different colours, different ribbons accessorizing it and some with bows, feathers or corsages.

I own one similar to the hat in the bottom left corner. It had black ribbon when I bought it but I then got different coloured ribbons so I can swap them when I feel like it so it could go with a range of outfits. Just a small tip there.

One thing I'm wondering is are they still on trend for the autumn/winter season? I hope so. Topshop are regularly having new ones in stock so that means that they haven't gone out yet. Always a good thing.

Above is a few hats that are my personal favourate finds. My favourate one is the one top middle one (even though it's a man's hat).

Mixed Dark Straw Trilby - New Look - £8.00
Multi Coloured Trilby Hat - Red Herring - £14.00
Nude Linen Trilby - Miss Selfridge - £18.00
Cream Trilby - Miss Selfridge - £15.00
