Amazon Wish List Thursdays: Part Six

Hello ☆

 

(image: we heart it) 

This has to be one of my favourite wish lists i have made so far. The top layer is very monochrome and the bottom layer contains some very bold/ colourful products. Mainly fashion this time but still added two handy books that i really would like to purchase. ♥

1.'No Photos Please' Sweat shirt  £10.95 / 2. Monocrome Bodycon Dress £16.00 / 3. Cream And Black Marcella Skater Dress £26.99 / 4. Disaster Designs - Bon Voyage - Travel Wallet £26.80 / 5. Glitteratti Women's Bethania Platforms Heels £16.00 / 6. F*ck! I'm in My Twenties £5.24 / 7.Yellow clutch handbag £16.50 /

1. Although slightly cheesy, i really like this jumper. Its a perfect, ironic piece for fashion bloggers who spend most of their days taking pictures of themselves. The jumper comes in black, cream, light grey and peach but i think my favourite is the light grey shade. Also the price is very pleasing at £10.95. 

2. I seem to be going through a monochrome phrase at the moment and have been on the hut for the perfect evening/ party dress. I fell in love with this number as soon as i spotted it on a fellow blogger. The black pattern gives a slimming, flattering look to the wearer and is a bargain at £16.00. 

3. My collection of skater dress is really starting to take over my wardrobe and i really should start buying some different styles. However i cant resist buying them and I'm really considering purchasing this Aztec number. I love the cut out neckline and feel in will be a great addition to my summer wardrobe. 

4. I love this little travel wallet. It is something that will come in handy for me on our summer holidays. The wallet features the lovely shabby chic floral Bon Voyage design, including cute images of maps, postcards, stamps and other travel motifs, it even has a mini paper plane sealed in plastic on the front! The front also features a handy checklist great for double checking on departure, and inside there are ample pockets and slots for storing reservations, documents, tickets, currency and of course the all-important passport! On top of all that there is a cute little zipped pouch for storing "Loose change and little things" as well as a pocket for a pen! It is slightly pricey at £26.80 but with my organisation skills, i feel it will be worth the price in the end. 

5. I don't know if i would actually wear these 'ruby red slippers' due to the heel but i have still fallen in love with them. I have been a massive Wizard of oz / Wicked fan since i can remember and have always wanted a pair even if i would just place them on a self on display. They are currently reduced from £40 to £16 which is a bargain! 

6. F*ck! I'm in my twenties is a book written by Emma Koeing. I have heard some amazing recommendations from my friends. Most saying it is one of the funniest books they have read.  The book description is as follows: 'Everyone has that moment, the realisation that adulthood has arrived, like a runaway train, and there's no getting out of its way. From the hit tumbler blog of the same name, F*ck! I'm in my Twenties perfectly captures the new generation currently testing the waters of adulthood. Quick-witted and self-deprecating, the author pens irreverent missives, DIY diagrams, illustrations and tongue-in-cheek checklists that chronicle her experience as a twenty-something living in the big city. Including the best of her beloved blog, plus over 50% new material, this is a perfect impulse buy for anyone who has a love-hate relationship with their twenties'. Definitely very curious to read this. 

7. At the moment i do not own a clutch bag. My hand bag collection mainly consists of Satchels, over sized bags, and rucksacks. I think it is about time i added a clutch to my collection. I really want a yellow neon one just because i love how it adds colour and a bold statement to an outfit. This one is perfect at £16.50. 

Hope you enjoyed this weeks wish list. Which ones are your favourite products?

My Amazon Wish List part 3.

Hello ★

It's Thursday, the day i show you guys what is on my Amazon Wish list this week. Today's list is again a little random, containing beauty, fashion and entertainment. 

1. Three tier Cream Cake Stand £13.19 / 2. Naked2 by Urban Decay palettes £51.99 / 3. Kate Spade Flicker Melinda Patent Leather Satchel Firefly Yellow £215 / 4. Lindy Bop wiggle dress £29.99 / 5. Classique Ladies Bicycle £175 / 6. The Silver Linings Playbook  £5.03 / 7. My Mad Fat Diary - Series 1 Dvd £15.99

1. The three tier cake stand is on my wish list, not for displaying cakes, but for makeup storage. I have seen this idea on a lot of blogs and just love the idea of having this on my dressing table. It allows me to be able to see my makeup and to pick products up quickly rather than wasting minutes searching through my drawers. I am also trying to transform my bedroom into a shabby chic boudoir and this stand will tie in nicely with the rest of the room. 

2. The Urban Decay Naked palettes are something i have been lusting after for so long now. They are actually quite expensive on Amazon so I very nearly pulled them off this list, but in the end decided to keep them on as the colours are so lovely and I need one in my life. I have found them cheaper on Beauty Bay for £32 each. 

3. This Kate Spade satchel in yellow is amazing. I visited London on Saturday and the girl sat next to me on the train had this bag. She was dressed head to toe in black and this handbag just stood out to me in a sea of people. I love the idea of adding a bold colour to an otherwise plain outfit. I have found some neon bags on the high street which i am definitely treating myself to on payday. 

4.  In my quest to change my look to more 1940's vintage, i have come across this LBD dress from Lindy Bop for £29.99. I love the sheer sleeves and the hour glass silhouette. Its so classic and gorgeous. 

5. Recently i have been addicted to Tumblr (gemmasthoughtsandloves if you wish to follow me). I have come across quite a few photos of these bikes being used by girls. I love anything with a vintage look and have secretly wanted a bike with a basket since seeing the film One Day. I probably won't be buying this pink version and think i would rather have a creme or pastel blue one. With having to walk quite far on my school runs every day, i think a bike will be extremely useful for me. 

6.  The silver linings playbook has been very recommended to be by a fellow book fan. Also, with the film coming out in cinemas i really want to read the book before i see the film. From the book description it tells us how the lead character Pat Peoples believes his life is a movie written by God and is determined to make his life a funny rom-com with a happy ending. This interests me so I'm definitely looking forward to reading this. 

7. Who doesn't like 'My Mad Fat Diary'? I have caught the show on E4 and just love it. I can kind of relate to Rae and her life. I too was an outcast, experienced issues with mental health, as well as body issues whilst growing up. The series one box set isn't out till 25th February but have already pre ordered this. 

There's this weeks wish list. Any products there that are also on your wish list? Hope you are having a great Thursday!

My Amazon Wish list Part two

Hello ★

After the success of my last Amazon wish list, I have decided to make it a weekly feature. Every Thursday i am going to post a new Amazon wish list showing the products I have been mostly lusting after. 

Todays wish list is quite random with gadgets and a few things for the home and for myself. 

1. Oh my goodness, this camera. It is the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7 Instant Film Camera in White. As a big fan of photography, i love the idea of being able to print off your photos as soon as they are taken. When i was growing up, i owned a Polaroid camera and was constantly taking pictures of everything i saw. My bedroom wall was just one big collage of memories. I miss that camera, so when i saw these cute cameras on Amazon, i fell in love. They come in a variety of colours from pastels to neons and from Mickey mouse to Hello Kitty. The one i have featured is the smallest camera in this range and costs only £45.95.

2.  This Batman jumper was made famous by the super model Cara Delevingne. As soon as she was photographed in one similar, super hero prints were everywhere. This is obviously not the exact jumper she wore but comes pretty close. This version costs only £6.85 but only comes in one size.

3.  How cute is this Kitsound Panda Iphone Speaker Dock. I currently have a pig speaker dock which has unfortunately now given up on life. This one cost £49.99 and is a very good contender for my replacement dock.

4. Wreck This Journal: To Create is to Destroy is a book i have seen on many of my favourite blogs. It is not your typical journal that you write your thoughts in, doodle in, add pictures etc as well as keeping it in pristine condition. This journal is for breaking the rules, getting dirty and basically asks you to destroy it. Reading all the reviews, they intrigue me to check it out myself. Will write my own review, along with more information about it when i get my hands on one.

5. Yankee Candle Large Black Cherry Jar . Having tried most yankee candles, black cherry is my absolute favourite one. The scent fills the whole house but is not too over whelming. With a cat and a dog in the house i need these in my life.

6. The Real Techniques Core Collection Kit is something i have been after for a while. My current brushes have become rough and tatty so have be asking fellow bloggers advice on the best brushes to buy. Every single one of them told me to purchase the real technique brushes. I have been slightly hesitant to buy them due to the price ( £20.99 on Amazon) but have been informed they are definitely worth the splurge.

7. This Bambi Fawn Lamp is the cutest piece of home wear i have seen for a long time. Although it is probably best seen in a children's room, i would love to have it on my bedside table. It is a costly £79.99 so will probably remain on my wish list. Let me know if you have seen any cheaper version around.

Thanks for reading and hope you are having a lovely Thursday.
