Holiday shopping!

I can't believe that it is nearly a month since I last posted! For anyone that knows me I have not been having the best time of late, and have had a lot going on so unfortunately my blog has suffered! Luckily things are on the up, I have just finished my second year of uni and my exams are out of the way, plus I have finally found myself a placement for next year, from August I will be working in marketing for Barbour! I am soooo excited to start. Next week I will also be going on holiday with my boyfriend which I have been looking forward to for agessss! We will be going to Lanzarote for a week, so if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations of good places to visit or fun things to do, let me know! I have really enjoyed holiday shopping, as every year I see so many beautiful clothes, but then have to remind myself that i'm not going on holiday, but finally I am, so here is some of what I have been buying! :)

Topshop Wish List

Usually when I create my wish lists I tend to include bits and pieces from all over the place, however as most of the things I really want at the moment are from Topshop, I thought it was probably more suitable to make it a Topshop wish list. If I am honest Topshop is probably my favourite place on the high street to buy my clothes and accessories as it never ever fails to have what I want, I also love how the fashion in Topshop is constantly changing, it just seems like every time I go in store there is something new! Most of the items on this weeks wish list are the future additions I will be making to my wardrobe for summer, for some reason, although I do a little haul for summer every year, I tend to end up getting to the next summer and just think ''oh my gosh, I literally have nothing to wear''...okay so I probably have a lot of things suitable to wear but there isn't any harm in updating is there?! There are also a couple of accessories in this post including an "invisibobble", I would love to know if any of you have tried this? Also there are a pair of jeans, I have never owned Topshop jeans I tend to go to River Island or New Look to get mine, what do you think of them? What is on your wish list? :)

Recent Buys!

FINALLY I can actually do a post like this again, not only have I had 0 pennies for ages and so couldn't afford a splurge, my phone was also stolen by a scumbag and I only just got a new one, hence why nearly all of my recent posts haven't been my own pictures, I apologise! Anyway, today I thought I would share with you some bits and pieces that I have added to my collection of clothes and accessories recently :) Firstly I have a couple of nail polishes, a mint green colour which is such a fresh colour which I just love for spring, and also a lilac Models Own nail polish, which also comes with little flower stickers (comes in different colours and sticker versions). I also have some new accessories from River Island, I didn't realise till now how cheap River Island jewellery really is! I bought these cute flower earrings firstly because they are beautiful and secondly because they were only £2! I also just love this plastic flower necklace, an instant purchase was made. The little pink purse below is also from River Island, and even though it is small, it is absolutely perfect for a night out if you want to take a bit of money and your ID without carting all of your important cards around. Finally I have also bought a few things to add to my wardrobe, this floral lace embellished crop top is so simplistic and summery I just had to have it, also the candy pink long sleeved top is perfect for the weather now as it is still a bit early for crop tops, yet the colour injection still makes you feel so summery! Last but not least is my new floral top from ARK, I never really go for prints but this floral top is so bang on trend and so pretty! What have you all been buying recently? :)

This Weeks Wish List....

Hmm there are a lot of shoes in my wish list this week.... to be honest though they are all for different occasions! *trying to justify excessive shoe collection to self*... these gorgeous pink loafers which I also featured in my last post are just lovely for spring and summer, these are top of my want list at the moment! Also, I may already have some cut out boots, but I am sick of wearing the same ones, I really like these from ASOS as they are more suitable for warmer months, and finally I really like these Jelly sandals, I must admit that when I first saw these in stores I was a bit sceptical, but as I am planning a holiday in the summer I think I will definitely be wanting a pair of these for the beach! Now, onto some clothes, I will admit that I have a tendency to go for simplistic cream or pink tops, but when I saw this daisy print top it really caught my eye, it is so summery! Also #5, I have been after one of these jumpers for a while, lilac is one of my favourite colours at the moment and as it's almost time to ditch the jackets, I reallllly want this cropped jumper. Finally, there are a few accessories on my list this week, #3 daisy cross body bag is new to Topshop this week, as a bit of a bag addict it isn't surprising that I wanted this one instantly, #4 choker necklace is something that I have been after for a while but just haven't got round to buying yet, #6 ditsy bird necklace is so perfect for necklace layering, Topshop have quite a few of these at the moment, including birds, fly's and mini elephants, and last but not least is a nail varnish, I really love experimenting with nail varnishes, I just can't resist the colours available, Topshop have such a lovely array of colours in their affordable collection! What do you think? :)
