The Sunday Post

After a hectic few weeks I have finally broken up for the Easter holidays, however looking outside it couldn't look less like Spring. I expected picnics, beach walks, light lunches and fruit salads. But I am getting by with big brunches, flavoured tea and weekly cinema trips. It feels good to actually get to see all the films that I normally never really get round too. 'Stoker' and 'Side Effects' have been my most recent favourites. Rooney Mara and Nicole Kidman are beautifully captivating.

Make-up and fashion wise I have currently been living in my River Island disco pants dupes with slouchy tops or sheer shirts. I have been wearing my Mac Speed Dial lipstick much more recently with the typical cat eyeliner flick.

Valentines Gift Inspirations

Valentines day is slowly approaching (if you cant already tell by how every pink and red product shops own are suddenly pushed right to the front of the store). I wont lie to you I am not a massive fan of over priced chocolates but I do have a soft spot for a cute heart motif or some flirty lace. If you want avoid red maybe try soft pinks and rose gold. If you really are not into the stereotypical valentines colours and want to have an edge try purples. So here are my top seven (sorry for the very random number) of romantic (ish) treats for Valentines. And if in doubt buy Chanel...

                                                    Topshop Bra £14.00
                     
                                                    River Island Heart Sweets £4.00

                                                    Asos Gloves £18.00

Autumn Wish List

I haven't done a wish list in ages, plus there are so many things I am lusting for at the moment so thought i'd do a little post on them. I am much more of an Autumn and Winter type of girl then Summer. I can't wait to wear big cosy knits and ankle boots drinking lots of hot coffee and hiding away from the rain in the cinema.

1.) I am desperate to get my hands on these trousers. I love printed trousers, the navy and purple water colour effect of pansies is just so gorgeous. These Warehouse trousers are £50 and have been seen on Millie Mackintosh and appeared in lots of magazines.

2.) You might be able to tell I like dark floral prints. But this River Island rose jumper for £35 is just so sweet.

3.) I have got a new found obsession with candles. They just make everything so cosy, I am looking forward to lighting some at my flat at university to make it more homely. I have never owned a Neom candle as they are pricey at £39.50 but they would add a nice bit of luxury to a room.

4.) This Autumn I will definitely be buying the YSL lip stain for £22.50. I love to wear red or berry coloured lipsticks and glosses in the fall weather.

5.) My favourite colour for Autumn is jewel toned purple and this Marc by Marc Jacobs bracelet is a dream. This is definitely an 'I wish" item as it retails for £125.

Wish List

I am starting to fall in love with benefit make-up again. I used to always use their products but slowly stopped due to them being a little bit pricey and because I wanted to try some other brands. But I keep seeing their products pop up in magazines and on blogs so I now want to get my hands back on their products. I also do need a primer and a new foundation brush so these are definitely on my wish list.  I also I am IN LOVE with the embellished collared shirt from River Island and have decided I need it in my wardrobe. I also have put some Miu Miu earrings on my wish list because their just so sweet along with a Anya Hindmarch Girlie Stuff bag!


                                                             Miu Miu earrings- £90

                                                     Benefit foundation brush £19.50

Benefit 'That Gal" brightning face primer £21.50

Anya Hindmarch girlie stuff wash bag £85

River Island cream embellished collar shirt £22

What To Wear When Travelling

 It's now not long till I head off on Holiday to Florida. Unfortunately I am not a happy traveler prone to travel sickness I've never enjoyed flying. My main necessities are my i-pod , eye mask and a stock of fashion magazines (yes I am also an unsociable traveller, my boyfriends going to have fun sitting next to me for this long flight). Comfort is also very important so its a great opportunity to buy some comfy soft clothes. I love this River Island cardigan teamed with this Zadig and Voltaire vest if I get hot and uncomfortable. I never normally wear joggers and was planning on travelling in leggings but these Topshop jogger look very cute. I really, really want this Mulberry travel wallet perfect for being organised plus its Mulberry!            

     

                                                   
                                                            River Island Cardigan £40

Zadig & Voltaire Top £110 

Topshop Peach Metallic Joggers £25

Mulberry Travel Wallet £295

My Weeks Wish List

Normally typical 'Wish Lists' consist of extremely expensive designer 'It' items, that I would love to own (such as the entire Ellie Saab collection and Stella McCartney underwear). But I have had to come to terms with the fact that I do not buy my clothes from Net a Porter. So I have created a much more realistic wish list.

1.) Midnight in Paris DVD by Woody Allen- Nominated for many Oscars I could not recommend this film enough, a lovely tale set in the most stylish city with a great cast.

2.) Lancome Doll Eyes Macara- the name and packaging is really pretty plus I adore this beauty brand.

3.) Marc Jacobs, Lola purse spray- This is my favourite perfume and this little compact version with the printed purse is so sweet.

4.) Television box set- I want a fun fashionable series to watch whilst its so cold and wintery outside. Im thinking Sex And The City, Mad Men or My So Called Life.

5.) River Island pink foil pleated mini skirt- Quite different to what I would normally wear but it would be such a good Spring pick me up and is very on trend with its flapper style pleats and is also on trend with its girlie colours.

Pretty Polly Sparkle Tights

It seems like everyone is obsessed with patterned and quirky tights at the moment. I love my Henry Holland suspender tights but I wanted to try another style. Pretty Polly have exclusively designed a pair for River island for £15 with gem stones up the leg. There sparkly enough to stand out but there not too over the top to resemble a Strictly Come Dancing costume. They are definitley my new favourite pair of tights, I'm going to wear them with black high waisted shorts and a metallic top for Christmas nights out.

Made in Chelsea Inspired Winter Warmer

I couldn't resist this cute fluffy head band from River Island for £8. I had admired a gorgeous fluffy hat that Louise from Made In Chelsea was wearing on the last episode so I am very happy to get my hands on a similar one. It will be perfect for keeping my ears warm when walking to and from Uni. They had a range of colours including a Cream one and a Leopard print one but I opted for this brown speckled one.
