My spring wishlist


I thought I'd cheer myself up during this horrible cold spell by making a wish list of things to see me through the spring and summer months when they finally arrive! I was instantly drawn to these two pairs of sandals. Especially the turquoise and leopard print ones. I think they're really different and i love anything leopard print so these are going to be perfect for seeing me through the summer. I love these dresses as well. Bold prints are essential for me and i need something to wear the sandals with now don't i ;)
I mentioned this jacket in a previous post so i had to feature it on my wish list! I know a jacket (well this is kind of more like a coat) is slightly un-necessary during the summer months but if i get in there and buy this quickly then i could get a couple of months wear out of it in the spring. I fell in love with this bag because of it's unusual hexagonal shape and, like most girls i love a good handbag :) the bigger the better! This is slightly too small for my usual taste but we have to break our own rules occasionally when something REALLY catches our eye. And this did :) I think it'd go perfectly with the 3/4 sleeve dress and a cute pair of pumps!

You can view/buy these things here :)

Christmas

Hello everyone :)
I hope you all had a lovely christmas! I was working most of it but i finished early on christmas day so i got most of the day with my boyfriend and i saw my mum and brother later on in the day. I cooked my first christmas dinner for me and my boyfriend and it was a triumph, even if i say so myself :P
I thought i'd share with you a few things i got on the big day :)


My nan got me this lovely set from benefit. It's a lip and cheek kit which contains PosieTint, High Beam, Dandelion powder and Dandelion Lipgloss. I'm a big fan of benefit and this contains all of my favourite products by them which are staples in my make up kit so i was very pleased with this present. If you haven't tried high beam yet, i suggest you take the plunge! It's the best highlighter i've ever tried, and probably my favourite item in my make up bag. I love it so much! I wear it on it's own or with other make up and the results are always outstanding. It really brightens my face and gives my skin an often much needed pick me up! I think it's way better than YSL Touche Eclat, and it's cheaper too. Which is always a bonus!



I got some lovely things from my boyfriend, including this owl bag and woodland creatures bracelet! My boyfriend is very good at buying presents and always gets it right and this year was no exception. I've been wanting this bag for ages but never got round to buying it. I just think it's so cute and really different. I love the unusual charms on the bracelet and so far, i've barely had it off my wrist.

Now, the next gift i'm going to feature may be a bit surprising as i previously did a review of this. It wasn't a negative review, more of an indifferent one but since doing the review i changed my opinion and grew to love this item. It's the lady gaga "fame" perfume.
Adam's dad bought me this gift set, and i love it. The shower gel is the nicest thing i think i've ever smelt and i really like the perfume. I can smell it on me all day which is good because usually i stop smelling my perfumes after about 10 minutes! I think when i did my first review, i didn't give myself a chance to really appreciate how nice this smells. I think once this runs out, i will be buying this again.
I'd love to know what everyone else got for christmas so please feel free to leave a comment :)

My outfit for today :)

Photo by me

Dress - New Look
Blouse - Primark
Ring - Dorothy Perkins
Necklace - Mad Hatties

I've had this dress for about five years and it's just been sitting in my wardrobe since then. I re-discovered it a few weeks back and it's now become one of my favourite pieces! It's great for layering tops over or under it and it's really comfortable and easy to wear.
I LOVE statement jewellery, it's kind of my thing :) This ring is like a snooker ball and very heavy, but i love the bright purpleness of it. The necklace was a gift from my cousin, it's from a handmade jewellery company called mad hatties who specialised in Alice in wonderland themed jewellery. Unfortunately, I've just read that they are no longer in business which is a great shame :( You can't see it from this picture but the necklace has a small teapot and teacup inside, it's so cute :)

My beautiful new necklace

Hello :)
Now, as a 90's kid, I am very much in love with all things Disney! And I absolutely love Disney couture jewellery. I've become quite the collector of these beautiful pieces! I have seven so far. The detail is just exquisite and they really capture the soul of Disney! I'm in love with them!
Alice in Wonderland is my all time favourite Disney film and my wonderful boyfriend got me an amazing new Disney couture necklace for my birthday.

This is my favourite piece of mine, I love the detail and it's so shiny and striking. Just underneath the lid it says "believe the impossible". The bottle opens and I think it doubles up as a perfume bottle but I really don't want to taint my beautiful necklace with chemicals :P
I love how Alice is attached to the clasp too, but I now have that slightly imprinted on the back of my neck thanks to the beautiful British weather we've been having recently!
