Bags Perfect for Autumn

Gone are all the pastel bags on my wishlists - they have be replaced with others featuring autumn tones instead. I have got to admit, this is the season that I love most because the colours that usually are in trend are lovely. Black is my go to colour when buying a bag but the offers this year are definitely making me divert. At the top of my list is this gorgeous burgundy and snake print bag from River Island (1). I have actually wanted it for a while but my student funds are restricting me. The burgundy theme continues in number 6, this one is from my work and constantly tempts me. I am also loving the khaki trend right now too and number 8 definitely would fit right into my wardrobe!

Hint of Pastel Handbags Wishlist

Handbag heaven right? I am loving the trend that I am seeing of structured bags with hints of pastel. Although 1 does not feature pastel, it fits perfectly within this group! I just had to include it after seeing it in person in River Island, definitely love at first sight. My friend owns number 6 and when we met up I just could not keep my eyes off of her bag, the lilac looks so lovely with the snake skin and grey! Number 3 also features snake skin and is just gorgeous! I recon this has to be my favourite after the white one. Although it does have colour in it, it would still match so much do to the subtle, neutral tones. Ah I just love them all! I am in desperate need for a new handbag too, the one that I use right now must be 5+ years old!

1. I have not bought a new pair of sunglasses in 3 years and have been living with the same ones which I have fallen out of love with... however not knowing what shape suits me has put me off buying more! When browsing the River Island website I found these and gosh, how pretty are they? The pink and gold work perfectly together! For only £10 you really can not go wrong.

2. This skirt is perfect as it could be worn right now tights (this scottish weather better change soon) or even in summer with a crop top and sandals. I just love pieces that can transfer through seasons, makes them so worth the money!

3.Need I say much about this dress? it is so amazing! I am loving the 70s trend as suede is just amazing in my eyes. Teamed with fringe makes it so much better!

4. I have heard so much about the Flamingo Candle scent Pink Lemonade, really I can not think of a better scent for a candle! A purchase is definitely on the cards soon, I just hope it lives up to my expectations.

Christmas Wishlist

I always enjoy wish list posts and since Christmas is near, its the perfect time to put one up. Really I do not expect to receive any of this except the Naked Basic 2 palette which my mum has got for me, so excited! However like I said these posts are always fun to read! Just wish that I could buy this all for myself...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

First on my list is any form of Real Technique brushes.. I have heard so many great things about them and have wanted them for years (1)! Next is definitely Mac's Rebel lipstick (2), isn't it the perfect winter colour? Another beauty is this paisley print shirt dress that would be perfect for day or night (3). I am imagining it with chunky black heels and maybe leather shorts under. I have actually had my eyes on this studded black bag from River Island for ages! (4) It is so practical yet still fashionable in my opinion, would go with so much. As mentioned above my mum has actually got me the Naked Basics 2 palette (5), I don't even think that I need to explain how great it will be. Every girl would love a Lush set huh (6)? Snow Fairy is definitely my favourite winter scent so this one would be perfect. The Samsung NX2000 would be an absolute dream present... my sister has it and I am in love (7)! It would be so great for my blog instead of using my iphone camera. Finally are these gorgeous gemstone heels (8). Sadly when putting the links into this post the black ones had mysteriously disappeared but linked are the silver ones instead. Still perfect for the party season!

Pastel Blue Leather

Top - H&M

        Skirt - River Island

     Shoes - New Look

 Necklace - H&M

When I was in London I bought this lovely light blue faux leather skirt and I am in love. I wouldn't normally go for such a tight fitting skirt but I find this is actually quite flattering and hides my tummy. I decided I wanted to wear my black heels with it so I also needed a darker top. This slogan tee is somehow hiding from me on the webpage but I think it was around £7.99 which is so good as it can also be worn casually. Finally whats an outfit from me without a chain?

Dont you think River Island has so many nice items right now?

1. How gorgeous are the colours in this shirt? I am so tempted to buy it to wear with a white crop top and either high waisted jeans or shorts. It would be even more perfect for Autumn just to chuck on with jeans and a tshirt. 

2. As you can tell from these boots and the last shirt - I am starting to get into Autumn fashion. I wanted a pair of boots like these last winter but never got them so this year its my goal to get some. I actually saw a version of these in Primark but sadly they did not have my size.

3. Okay back to summer, I love these sandals! Lots of people in London were wearing similar ones and it just made my want grow. However as summer is ending soon I cant bring myself to buy them.

4. Ah I want this purse so badly. New Look also have this design in a clutch which I wouldn't mind owning either. At just £7.99 this purse is such a great deal! now just the decision of colour.. black or pink?

1. Yet another River Island bag added to my wishlist. I love the shape of this one and although its black the lime green adds a summery feel. The strap looks it can come off so I would probably do that so that the hint of lime green is just in the top section. Now just to find a spare £40..

2. This picture really does not do these shoes justice. I see them every day at work and pull myself back from buying them, but being reduced from £49 to £29 its such a hard temptation to resist! They would make the perfect summer wedge and would be so versatile.

3. Ah this dress is only £10.70 and I am so tempted to purchase it right after I write this post. I love the floral print and the split sleeves add a little extra. She Inside is quickly becoming one of my favourite sites.

4. Your should definitely google this MAC lipstick in 'Blankety' as you can see the colour better in other bloggers pictures. It looks like such a gorgeous every day nude, something which is seriously lacking in my collection.

1. I have always been a big fan of Ray Bans so when I came across this look a likes on the Topshop webpage for just £10 they immediately shot to the top of my wishlist. I almost ordered them but I know I should go try them on as many sunglasses just don't suit my face shape!

2. Something I really want to get into this summer is maxi dresses, I'm not sure how they will work with my height though (I'm only 5"3). This one is perfect because the t-shirt look on top makes it very casual therefore it could be dressed down but also the long dress means it could be dressed up. Its pretty cheap too at only £14.99!

3. I fell in love with this top when I was in River Island the other week, there's something about off shoulder tops that appeals to me. I think its because they look so sophisticated and feminine. I specifically love the thick band around the neckline of this one, makes me think that it will stay where its meant to be. This floral pattern would go great with just a black skater skirt. The store also stocks lots of plain colours!

4. This concealer is from the Dainty Doll line and is called 'Concealer Hot Pour'. I am yet to invest in a good concealer, I am so bad as I never use one but I seriously need to! I'm specifically intrigued by this one as the line is created for paler skin tones, which I definitely fall under.

I am in Brighton this week, sorry if I am a bit MIA!

1. Okay I admit, I've actually had this Dragons Egg bath bomb from Lush before but I really want to buy it again! It smells so lovely and citrusey, unfortunately I have no bath at my uni accommodation. Next time I visit home I think I might buy one here in Aberdeen and bring it back (my home town lacks a Lush, boo).

2. I have always been a fan of River Island bags and purses, there are so many I'd love to own. I chose this one as I think the flower pattern is gorgeous, I wish they did this design in a pastel!

3. I purchased the Herbal Essences Bee Strong shampoo and conditioner at the weekend after reading lots of reviews on them (Ill have my own review up soon). I know want to buy this mask as my hair dresser keeps insisting that I use a deep conditioner as my hair is so dry, its been that way for years. No matter how many home made masks and conditioners I use, it just doesn't get better. Hopefully this would help salvage it a little until I eventually cut off all the dead ends!

4. Joni jeans from Topshop are my favourite, I'm also a fan of the gingham pattern therefore these jeans are perfect. I am a bit reluctant to pay £38 though, I wore my last Joni jeans so much that the fabric became so thin and ripped. Primark do carry jeans with this pattern but I am just scared of the fit!

1. This necklace is actually under the girls section of the River Island website but I fell in love with it! I think I just like how it incorporates many different pastel colours in one necklace, could brighten up any outfit!

2. I feel in love with this skirt in New Look and had to drag myself away from it. However I do plan to buy it for my holidays. It was placed near a mint top that went perfectly! Definitely an outfit I want to own.

3. How beautiful is this top? I want to buy it for my holiday also but I feel that I may not be able to pull it off.. nothing going into the changing rooms cant solve!

4. I just love how simple this bag is yet the colour makes it unique. I can just imagine it accompanying a spring/summer outfit. Its not that expensive either, waaaaay cheaper than the Mulberry one from last week!

Trend: Asymmetric skirts/skorts

I absolutely love asymmetrical bottoms! Every time I go into a clothing store or online I notice at least one skirt or skort that I really want to purchase and I have to drag myself away from it, specifically black ones as they would go with anything! Also who doesn't love the idea of a skort?! I constantly have problems with my skirt blowing in the wind so why not wear shorts that look like a skirt instead. Visions of outfits constantly are in my head centering around an asymmetric skirt/skort worn with either a jumper, crop top or a t shirt. Here are a few of my favourites:

Weekly Wishlist #2

I've decided not to do my weekly wishlists on a specific website but instead include various ones. Here are the things I really want to purchase at the moment:

1/2/3/4

1. I have wanted chunky heeled boots that I can wear during the day for ages! They would go with so many things such as skirts, dresses and trousers so I think they would be a great purchase. However the ones pictured are from Topshop and are priced at £70 which is way to high a price point for a poor student like me! I have seen some cheaper versions in Primark which I would rather purchase so look out for them!

2. I am a bit late on the band wagon but I cant get the look of a tartan pinafore dress with a cropped black tee under out of my head!

3.I am sad to say I have never tried Real Techniques brushes! I have been looking into them lately as I am addicted to watching the Pixiwoo sisters on YouTube and I think I have convinced myself to purchase the core collection as all of the brushes are ones I would gladly use.

4. River Island bags are beautiful! I am in love with this satchel due to the neutral colour with the pop of pink on the inside. I always go into the store and just stare at the bags hoping that one day Ill have enough spare money to buy one!
