A splash of Colour on a Monday.

Hello

Monday's are normally the day i post an outfit of the day, but unfortunately i have fallen ill and do not feel happy about putting my face on my blog today. So, i have decided to post a quick polyvore mood board showing a few accessories i have been lusting over lately.

I find Mondays are definitely the best day of the week to wear colour as its traditionally known as a miserable day. Wearing colour will cheer you up and that will reflect onto people around you. I'm not telling you to go head to toe in colour but by wearing a few colour pop accessories like the ones above will certainly help your mood.

Sorry again for the short post and i hope you are having a lovely day.

Hello ♥

Since becoming a blogger, all i seem to think about is clothes. I seem to be spending and spending to keep up with the latest trends. I have had to stop now and instead only write out wish lists of pieces i would like to add to my wardrobe. Topshop is definitely my downfall when i ever i walk past the store. There are so many things i wanted for a while now. Above are a small selection of pieces which are on the top of my list to buy. 

Number one is the classic parka coat. This is a lovely thick plain one for £60. I have noticed everything seems to be studded or camouflaged at the moment and I feel this one will stay on trend for a lot longer.
Number two is the very gorgeous mirror bird t shirt. You just cant beat a classic white t shirt and i also cant resist anything with swallows. The t-shirt costs a very pleasing £15. 

Number three is something which i have been searching everywhere for, but just haven't found the right one that suits me. I have tried this one in store and loved it. The length is perfect and will go well with the bird tee tucked in. The price is a little higher than other skirts i have found at £38. 

Number four is bang on trend for this season. Tartan is everywhere and this shirt will be perfect to pair with some leggings/ disco pants thanks to its longer length. It costs £38 but have found similar shirts in Primark, H&M and New Look. 

Numbers five, six and seven are three of the most gorgeous skater dresses i have found. Skater dresses are just my type of dress. The fitting of them are so generous and so flattering, and i think they're perfect with a biker jacket and chelsea boots. The burgundy one is definitely my favourite due to its 1940's vintage look. 

Finally number 8 is my three favourite colours of nail varnish in the Topshop range. The beige and turquoise will look gorgeous for spring time, and the mermaid nails for an evening out. 

I could easily have everything at the moment in store. Spring/ summer collections are the best collections, so many cute prints, bold colours , and so many beautiful dresses.

What is on your wish lists for the spring/ summer?

Christmas gift ideas

These are just a few small ideas Ive come up with for Christmas gifts. I've loosely based them on mine and my friends wish list so hopefully you like them too.

 

Starting with the ladies gifts:

 

 

The Nars Edie Gift set is from the Andy Warhol collection and retails at £54.00. The set is presented in an authentic 16mm film canister and includes:

NEW Film Star Pure Matte Lipstick—60s nude pink

Edie Eyeshadow—cream with a little bit of shimmer

Carpates Eyeliner Stylo—black

Mini Blush Duo in Deep Throat and Amour—flirty, sheer peach and peachy pink

16mm film canister

Marc Jacobs Ipad case 'Shorty the boxer'. I found this one for £38.58 at Nordstrom.com. This is must have for people who like quicky but cute things. Also, I find this price to be quite reasonalable for a designer case.

 

Lady Gaga Perfum. A 50 ml bottle is currently selling at £29.99 from the perfumshop.com. They also have gift sets for £31.50. This one has to be my favourite perfum of the year. Don't normally like celeb frangrances but this one is a must have.

 

Lauren Conrad Beauty. This is her first guide dedicated exclusively to beauty. The book covers everything you need to know to maximize your own beauty potential. From tips for creating a strong foundation and maintaining healthy skin and hair through diet, exercise, and all-around wellness to everyday makeup techniques and tricks of the trade for special-occasion looks. Lauren's personal anecdotes and illustrated step-by-step lessons for makeup, hair, and nails will have you looking great for day or night. The best price i found was Amazon at £8.24.

 

Micheal Kors Rose gold watch. This has been the top selling watch of this year but at around £185, it is one pricey present to buy. Most shops have sold out but are still available from the watchshop.com.

 

 

For the boys

 

 

 

Lego minecraft. This is one of the top selling toys this christmas with most stores selling out already. It costs a very over priced £75 on Amazon and also going for that on Ebay but have just found it on the Lego website for £35.99. Get it quick!!  I think the joy on your husbands/ boyfriends/ brother/ Dad (if they like their gaming of course) will be priceless.

 

 

Beats by Dr. Dre. These are one of the best headsets on the market and cost around £118 on Amazon. 

 

 

Micheal Kors Mens Watch. The one shown above is £177 from the watch shop.  I love These watches and find them to look so stylish.

 

 

Burberry touch. A 30 ml bottle costs £21.50 from the perfum shop.  You can never go wrong with giving the gift of perfum at christmas. This one is one of my personal favourite men's scents. Its described as evoking feelings of intimacy, sensuality & sophistication, representing many of Burberry's core values.

Edwin Jagger Ribbon Gift Set - Travel Set with Hydrating Pre-Shave Cream & Sandalwood. For some reason, every year all the men i know have talked about always wanting an old fashioned shaving kit. I have never brought them one but this year i might get round to it. This one i have featured is high end luxury at £120. It features:
 

Edwin Jagger - impeccable male grooming accessories

Includes: Mach 3 razor with a Gillette head

Travel badger hair shaving brush

100ml of natural hydrating pre-shave lotion

100ml of shaving cream with gorgeous sandalwood scent

Shaving cream and aftershave lotion sample pots

Genuine leather travel case

I have found cheaper versions like this one from amazon at £19.90

I love Ella's Vintage style and the outfits she wears for her performances are stunning. My favorite has to be on the 13th october when she wore a beautiful pink Ted Baker maxi dress. I loved the gold scallop detail and empire waist line. It suited her perfectly. The dress is caled HAYLEI and retails at £399 from Ted Baker.
