The Spring Tag

(source)

My lovely friend Megan over at Seek My Scribbles nominated me to do the Spring Tag, which I thought was lovely of her and seeing as I'm going with the Spring theme at the moment, I thought it was a perfect idea! Plus it's Sunday, which means, life post day! Here we go;

Spring Wishlist, 2014

Good morning!

As of yesterday (20th March) it's officially Spring! I love Spring and I love the colours that come with it. I'm a massive pastel fan, I love floral print dresses and I'm a hoarder of sandals. So browsing the World Wide Web for pretties to put in this wish list was very dangerous, but seeing as I'm skint this month, I settled for just showing you guys what I'm lusting after!

1) Michael Kors Watch - Bloomingdales $250 (This is also on Amazon, the link just wouldn't work)

I've wanted a Michael Kors watch for a while now. I'm not a watch person, at all. I've never owned a watch, I hate my arms and how skinny they are so I tend to steer away from arm wear, but after seeing these about I've definitely fallen in love. I'm loving the rose gold themes at the moment and this is no different. Someone please buy me one of these?

2) Black Daisy Tea Dress - Dorothy Perkins - £38

I'm loving all the floral prints that are coming out at the moment and especially the daisy prints. Having a God-Daughter named Daisy means I have an excuse to purchase everything daisy related, and I think this dress from Dorothy Perkins is a need - to buy.

3) Bowler Hat - Accessorize - £25

I love hats on girls, much to Bear's dismay (he hates them) and recently my friend Kerry got brought one of these for her birthday and she looks shit hot in it and I tried it on and decided I looked awesome, so now I feel the need to purchase one. Maybe not one for £25 though.. Primark anyone?

4) Ciate Sugared Almonds - Selfridges - £9

If you don't know by now that I'm addicted to nail varnish, then where have you been? Really! Of course a polish had to be involved in this wishlist. I adore all the pastel colours that come out at this time of year and I think Sugared Almonds is a gorgeous peach colour (I actually only own one peach nail varnish) and would look awesome in my collection.

5) Topshop Lips in Petal - Topshop - £8

Again, another addiction of mine. I'm a huge lipstick hoarder, mostly pinks and reds. In fact, all pinks and reds I think. So here's another pink that I think is bloody beautiful and even though I have about 4 others in this shade, I definitely need this one.

6) Blue Faded Mom Jeans - New Look - £24.99

I do NOT wear jeans. I own one pair, that I only wear when I'm training the dogs at Uni. I really don't think jeans suit me in the slightest but I really, really want a pair of mom jeans! Maybe I can buy some and just never look in a mirror? Hmm.

7) Stone Thin Caged Flat Sandals - New Look - £17.99

It's nearly sandal weather guys. I love shoes. Addictions are clearly a part of my nature because Bear constantly tells me I do not need that pair of shoes that look exactly the same as those other ones that I own. I love sandals, I love getting my feet out (I think I have lovely feet, soz) and I think these are beauts!

What's on your Spring wishlist?

Valentine OOTD Inspiration

Morning sprinkles;

This is a little bit late seeing as it's V Day today but if you're like me and not celebrating until the weekend, then you still have time to go and treat yourself! I was going to stay away from the Valentines posts this year because I know there are plenty going around that I've loved having a little read of, but I've been 'browsing' online and I've seen a few bits that are just too pretty not to shout about.

Topshop Wishlist // 01

If I gave you a full Topshop Wishlist, we'd be here for at least a few hours, so I've cut it down to the basic few that I'm desperate for. I'm a massive Topshop addict and I (used to) love nothing better than getting myself in debt with my Topshop card, but house saving has taken that away from me and the card has been cut, sad face :( since then I rarely venture into Topshop to stop myself getting depressed, but after going onto their site, I have fallen in love all over again.

ITEMS

Faux Leather Biker Jacket - £60

Innocence Tartan Bow Dress by Jovonnista - £48

Liquid Liner in Black Cab - £7

Gloss Ink in Cruel - £8

Velvet Lip in Raven £10

Pinkie, Midi, Thumb Ring Multipack - £12.50

As you can see I'm going through a slight tartan/goth stage at the moment but aren't these just so beautiful?!

What's on your wishlist?

Vivienne Westwood - Oh my!

Morning humans;

 

Can we just, take a moment, to indulge in the beauty of what is below. Words cannot describe. 

 

This is a slight belated post, as I got this pretty off my Bear for Christmas (he's a definite keeper) and I haven't had time to sit and take some decent photos, until now. Just look at it. It has 4 separate compartments, one with a zip, 12 card holder slips which Lord knows I need with all my junk cards. I love whipping this out when I'm paying to get on the bus and I'm like, '£2.50? Oo, let me just check my change, IN MY VIVIENNE WESTWOOD PURSE.' I love to casually flash this around.

I'm not actually a big brand person, I refuse to spend money on something just for the name - however, if someone else wants to splurge on me, then who am I to stop them?!

Anyway, this was just a quick post, to well, basically brag :)

 

What's been your biggest splurge over the years?
