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.

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 Valentine's wish list: John Greed Blogger competition

Hello ♥

A little bit of a soppy post today. I have just recieved an email from John Greed Jewellery telling me about another competition they have started up. It is the same format as the last blogger competition which was to design a Pandora charm bracelet for under £250. This time the competition is create a mood board titled 'My valentine's wish list'. You can feature anything from their website as long as the total cost is under £250. Full details can be found at their website if you wish to have a go yourself. 

My Valentines bracelet

John Greed have so many lovely jewellery pieces on their website. I'm like a little magpie when it comes to silver and gems. For my wish list, i kept it simple but extremely personal. Initially i was going to go for a necklace with matching earrings but i couldn't resist the bracelet section of the website hence why i put together this gorgeous gift.  

First on my list I would like to talk about is the beautiful red cotton Culture Freedom bracelet costing only £18.  I chose this bracelet because it is coming up to our two year anniversary. Two year anniversaries are traditionally known as your 'Biennial' or 'Cotton' anniversaries. So this bracelet would be perfect and very sentimental. Also the red is very suitable for the valentines theme. 

The 'G' and 'W' charms are from Thomas Sabo and cost £21.95. G standing for 'Gemma' and the 'W' standing for Will, my husbands name. I find the thought of having our initials on my wrists to be such a lovely idea. A little bit cheesy but i love it. 

The star charm symbolises the night we met, under the stars and the heart charm symbolises our love for each other. They are both from the Pandora range costing £35 each. I found them to work well with the theme of 'Valentines day' as well as our upcoming anniversary.

As an extra gift to reach that £250 goal, i have fallen for this gorgeous Swarovski oceanic light siam pendant.  The pendant is quite similar to the blue titanic necklace and defiantly will be a head turner. At a cost of £100 it is a dream necklace. Will look stunning worn during a valentines date.

That's my wish list coming to a total of £231.90. 

Hope you like it as much as i do.

Topshop wishlist

1. Parka £60 / 2. Mirror bird tee £15.00 / 3. Skater skirt £38.00 / 4. Tartan shirt £38.00 / 5. Stripe band back dress £26.00 / 6. Polka dot tea dress £38.00 / 7. Smock tunic £38.00 / 8. Nail colours £5.00 /

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?

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.

My Ebay spring wish list

White shirt / Topshop black jacket / Kitten heels / Blue handbag / Stackable ring, £28 / Heart necklace, £115 / Bib necklace //

Hello ★

I have been a bit of an on line shopping addict lately and on a number of occasions had to tell my husband to hide my card from me. I decided to now wait until the weather warms up to start buying my spring wardrobe and thought I'd do a little wish list of the products i really want for my wardrobe.  

Firstly the studded cowboy boots are something i have been desperate for for a long time now. I have seen many bloggers wearing them and really add a bit of 90s grunge to an outfit. A trend which i am loving right now. The ones featured above are £24.99 and also come in tan. 

The leopard print shirt is just amazing. Anything with cats and a collar, i fall head over heels. This shirt will be great for the spring as it is light weight while covering the arms. I love the price too, £11.34 or $17.99 with free shipping. Actually i can't wait, I'm buying it.. Expect to see it in an outfit post soon. 

The leather jacket was big for autumn winter but i am yet to buy one myself. I love how this one has a fur collar. It is by Topshop but unfortunately has now ended on eBay. I know i shouldn't of featured it but I still want a leather jacket for spring hence being on the wish list. 

This spring/ summer, pastels are set to be the colour of the season. At the moment i am loving mint green. I came across one in Asos a while ago but was far too expensive. Whenever i see something i want but cant afford i always go to Ebay looking for a cheaper version. I found this 'Pippa Middleton' Modalu bag but costs a whopping £145. So lovely but will have to stay on my wishlist till i win the lottery. Also keeping with the pastels theme, i found a cute sterling silver love heart necklace . This is another disappointing expensive find that will only be a wish, costing £115. 

Hope you are enjoying your Tuesday?
