E-tail web stores| My In Love With Fashion Wish List.

Hello!

As you can probably tell, I have recently signed up to the wonderful E-tail blogger network. The main reason for this was the amazing competitions they hold on a regular basis. I love creating these blog posts and really wanted to have a go at one. Their most recent competition is for In Love With Fashion where they want bloggers to select their favourite pieces and put them all together in a wish list. You can enter here if you would like a go yourselves. 

Admittedly i had never heard of this lovely shop before this competition but i am really loving their collections. I found it quite hard to pick my favourite items as i literally loved everything. 

Grey dress with black bow detail £32 / Blue and white skater dress £38 / 

Multi colour maxi dress £44 / "In vogue we trust" tee £18 /

Coral lace skirt £30 / 

All of these items are stunning and I really wish i could afford all of them. My favourite though is the multi colour maxi dress as the colour's are so bright and on trend for spring. I also should add that the little pictures i have added around my wish list are actually temporary tattoos made by Ink wear that you can buy from In love with fashion. The butterflies cost £1.49 each, the magpie on the top left hand corner costs £1.99, the cherry blossoms are £1.49, and finally the gorgeous little hummingbird ( which i own myself) costs £2.49. 

Well thats my wish list and i really hope you liked it. If you want a chance to win the £200 prize yourselves then here is the link again for you to check out.

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?

A cat jumper and a photo bombing dog.

Jumper - Ever Ours 

Jeans - Primark

Shirt - Topshop

Hiking Boots - Amazon

Earcuff - Topshop 

Hello ★

Happy Thursday. Its nearly the weekend thank goodness. Been feeling this week has been going a little slow. Today i thought i would show you this amazing cat jumper from Ever Ours which costs only £5. Amazing. I feel it is defiantly worth more as the material is so thick and warm. What do you think of it? 

I have been wearing this jumper to death since the postman pushed it through my letter box, and i love that i can wear it with my large collection of collars and shirts. Also as the jumper is a longer length, i can wear it with leggings/ disco pants. The perfect jumper in my opinion. 

I first discovered Ever Ours through twitter and immediately fell in love with everything in their shop. The prices are crazy cheap to. I have also brought their skull shirt which i plan to write up a post about at the weekend. Their customer service is amazing, only made better by the fact they included the cutest little mouse ring in my parcel.  

My Amazon wish list

Hello ★

Yesterday i posted an Ebay wish list and thought i would today post my amazon wish list. I love amazon because everything you need is in one place and there are some great deals to be had. I mainly use amazon when I'm looking for home ware but have recently discovered some lovely clothing items that you might not find on the high street. I have but together a short list of my favourite finds, some of which i plan to buy in the future.

1. This red dress is from LINDY BOP and is a gorgeous Audrey Hepburn style swing dress. I have always been a big fan of the rockabilly look but have never had the confidence to wear the style. This dress is stunning and I would probably get away with wearing this day and night.

2.  When I saw this jumper I let out a bit of a girly squeal. Woodland animals make me do this. I also was attracted to the length. I am very paranoid about my stomach area so always go for longer length t shirts and jumpers. The Rabbit jumper costs a very pleasing £12.95.

3. I think i am the only girl in the world who doesn't own a onesie. I do really want one but have not yet gotten round to buying one. I have seen some very cute animal ones in Primark but for some reason felt silly buying one and felt that i probably would be too embarrassed to wear it. I have started searching for a plain one like this Hooded Onesie Suit i found on amazon.

4. I love love love these boots. I need them in my life. I love the sock effect they have, so cosy for the winter. Also the tartan effect is gorgeous. These ankle boots are £24.99.

5. I have fallen back in love with skirts. I stopped wearing them because I had confidence issues with my legs. I have never been one to show them off. Something has happen to me as now i love wearing them. I think it is because I have seen so many bloggers wearing them and love how they style them up.   This one is a cheap version at £7.00.

6. Finally on my wish list are these Dr Martens Unisex 1460 Boot. I have been wanting a pair for a massive six years now. If i had lots of money i would buy them in every style and colour.

Hope you are having a great Wednesday.

A Weekend of Les Mis and a few outfits ★

Hello my lovely readers ♥

I was going to start posting 'what I'm wearing today'  posts but this weekend i have been rather busy with the family to sit down at my computer. So I'm am just going to compile my pictures into one big post.

Friday 

Friday nights are spent with friends at our local family friendly pub. We like to chat about the week and let the kids run around with their friends. Everyone normally dresses very casual here but as i have spent all week in leggings, wellies and baggy tops i wanted to make some effort.

I wore a white dress with a peter pan collar from my favourite shop Primark. It has a horse and woodland print with a purple belt. For some reason i find myself buying a lot of clothing items that have collars, i just love them.  This dress was in the summer 2012 sale for £5. Bargain.

Saturday 

I have a little more to say about Saturday. Today was the day i finally got to see Les Miserables at the cinema. If you follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on facebook you'll know that i am a massive Les Miserables geek. I have all the cast recordings, seen every film made and been to the queens theatre twice. My review of the film? I can't say i was happy with it entirely. I'm sorry to say Russell Crowe ruined it for me. He is not a singer bless him. When he started to sing one of my fav songs 'Stars' i was so disappointed. Also as much as i was impressed with Amanda Seyfield's singing in Mamma Mia, i felt see struggled with the high notes playing Cosette. Hugh Jackman was amazing though and I admit i cried when Anne Hathaway performed 'I dreamed a dream'. So emotional and so perfect. My favourite girl was of course Samantha barks. She is the one and only Epoinine. She really should have got more credit for her role. Have you seen the film yet? Let me know your thoughts on it or if you are also a fellow Les Miserables geek. 

As the film is a massive three hours long i decided to dress comfy casual. I wore my favourite Atticus jumper from Play.com, (I'm sorry i cannot remember how much this cost), with my grey skinny jeans from Primark. 

Sunday

Today we woke up with the intention of having a very lazy Sunday. It has been a very busy week for us with work, extreme house cleaning, school and job hunting. However while making breakfast we realised we had no food in the cupboards so a quick shopping trip was needed. Yesterday before the cinema, i sneakily ran in to Topshop to see what was left on the sale rails. I found this dress which i have actually been after for a while now. It cost me £20 reduced from £38. Even though it may be a little to dressy for food shopping i still cant help showing off my new purchases. 

It is a deep red skater dress with capped sleeves. The material is textured and thick, ideal for the winter. Also the dress is stretchy which i love even though the dress is unfortunately a size to big due to being the only one left. I teamed it with my favourite Primark bow belt, black wooly tights and my Chelsea boots also Primark.

Let me know your thoughts on the Les miserables film.
Thanks for reading.
