Lusting

Tee - Whistles

I had a bit of a revelation this week, while watching one of Anna's (of Vivianna Does Makeup) videos - I realised I am in dire need of a wardrobe cleanse! So this weekend, I'm setting about streamlining my wardrobe, getting rid of the old and (hopefully) making way for the new! I'm really loving the classic tee and jeans combo, laid back but still polished and feminine. This Whistles tee has caught my eye, the material looks lovely and soft, and although I've never been one for a slogan, this isn't tacky or cringeworthy! Definitely one to pair with a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a pair of heeled sandals or boots!

Finally I'm writing a blog post! I've had a long break over the winter, working full time means I have so little time to put into my blogging, & just as I was writing this post my flat decided it would blow all the fuses and not let me write it! The world is against me!!

Anyway, as little time as I have spent blogging, I have still been spending! I'm going to buy a pair of coated jeans next weekend and these skinny highwaisted ones from Topshop will be first on my hit list. I also really want to buy the H&M white and navy blouse, I love a blouse with a V-neck so this will be perfect! The Warehouse printed cropped blouse is also one of my favourites at the moment, it would look so nice with blue skinny jeans and patent nude heels for work in the summer. & Other Stories is fast becoming one of my go to shops, and the amount of times I've stood in there and debated buying this sheer jumper and black pouch is ridiculous! I'm also going a bit stud earring crazy, and these two pairs are my latest faves from Accessorize. The blue ones are amazing!

Hi guys! It's been a while since I did a wish list (and trust me, it's not through lack of wishing) so here's a little peek at what I'm loving at the moment.

I really want a roll neck jumper (this is without seeing what my neck looks like in one yet!) so I'm going to see if I can find this Zara one at the weekend, it has a gold zip all the way down the back too which jazzes it up a little! Also tempted to buy these false nails, they have a really pretty gold tip and I ammmm going out next weekend so maybe I'll treat myself, not like I need to!! These Accessorize earrings will be perfect for Christmas and New Year for yourself or maybe a little pressie for somebody :). I love this Missguided Swing Dress, it's made from a fabric with a slight sheen and would look amazing with black tights, black boots, a fur stole and perhaps this black bag from Mango. Selling it to myself already oops! Let's see how many shopping bags I return home with this weekend!

Oh dear, so looks like I'm wanting everything I see at the moment! This Missguided dress is perfect for summer and I love the crossover detail. I have a black long sleeved Topshop dress in the same style but this one could be worn in the day or on a night out (versatility is so important!). I'm also loving pastel/cornflower blue at the moment, this bag from Zara is so beautiful (if a little small for me!) and would be amazing for a shopping trip when you don't want to drag your life around with you in your bag. The blue fluffy jumper is from Topshop and will be perfect for layering when autumn arrives (trying not to think about that right now though!). My major lust of the week is this pleated blouse from COS. I saw it in the window of the Westfield London store and fell in love, then saw it was £59, but I still really want it. Let's see how well I'll do to resist! This necklace is from Accessorize and I've kindaaaa already bought it! I love it so much, it's perfect under a blouse collar and is just sooo beautiful! 

I'm moving to London to start a new job in a few weeks so might be treating myself to a few bits from this list soon ;) can't wait for the regular shopping trips down there though, a bit different to my usual Lincoln shops, eeeek!

If you haven't already, remember to enter my competition! Winner will be announced on August 1st! :)

Hey everyone! Sorry again for the lack of blogging action on my part, I moved home from university last weekend and have been trying to get sorted out ever since (I haven't even brought half of my things home yet!). I haven't done a weekly want in for-ev-errr and I went to Meadowhall yesterday so have spotted a few things I now have my little eye on.

I really want a more grown-up, new phone case and I think this H&M one is perfect. I picked it up in Scunthorpe a few months ago and put it back down & now can't find it anywhere but online, so an order looks like it may have to be placed! I love the turquoise necklace from Accessorize. I always wear a necklace under collared blouses and this one would be perfect against a crisp white or cream blouse. It also comes in a nudey-pink colour and a deep red, both with gold chain detailing too. 

The River Island shorts would be perfect for a night out, not so sure how much I will be going out now I've finished university but the textured polka dots are almost too cute to resist! The same goes for this Lipsy dress, it's now half-price in the sale but I just don't know if I can justify buying something I'm not sure if I'll wear very often! I love the sequin and mesh detailing on it though! 

The two make-up products I've chosen in this post are the Rimmel Salon Pro nail polish in 'Reggae Splash' which caught my eye yesterday as I ran into Superdrug for emergency tanning mitts! I think they have it on special offer for £2.99 at the moment (along with the rest of the range!) and it's the perfect colour for summer, a really peachy pastel shade...perfect for toenails on the beach maybe? The lip crayon is one of the new Bourjois Colour Boost range in a shade called 'Orange Punch', a lovely bright coral colour just right for the summer. Really excited to try one of these out as I've heard the pigmentation and smoothness of application is really nice.

Have you tried any of the cosmetics I've picked out/what are your summer must haves for fashion and make up?
