Wednesday Wishlist

Spotty Platform Courts, £29.99, New Look

How gorgeous are these? They are incredibly vintage and sexy - I absolutely adore them. I think these shoes will really add a twist to any outfit, especially if you like to stand out. A summer dress in a coral shade like the spots would match perfectly. For a night out, dress all in white and let the shoes do the talking!


Soul Cal Deluxw Cricket Cardigan, £29.99, Republic

The preppy look isn't for everyone, but for those of you who want to try it, then this cute girly cardigan is the way to do it. The colours mean it doubles up as nautical too so its definitely on trend. To really complete the look, dress down with jeans and add converse trainers! If you're feeling really bold, a bright block colour t-shirt in pink, orange or green would look great underneath. 


White Cherry Print Scarf, £12.00, Dorothy Perkins

Brighten up any dull outfit with this bright, eye catching scarf. If you're having an off day, add this to your look for some added oomph. This fruity buy is perfect as its a staple piece that can be worn time and time again. Try wearing it as a headband, or even as a belt added to an otherwise plain white dress/outfit.


Allover Rip Long Knit Casual Top, £12.99, Miss Rebel

It may not be summery (though to be fair, has the weather been anything but rainy this week?) but I have fallen in love with this top. Channel your inner rock chick and purchase this oversized top for that sexy punk look. Wear it best with bracelets piled up on the arms, skinny jeans and biker boots or converse. If you want a more festival look, try it over hot pants! Don't be shy with the eyeliner either!

Daisy Stud Earring, £5.00, Rare Fashion

I love these really cute, girly earrings as I feel that not only are they summery, they are also very vintage. Oversized earrings are always in fashion and these earrings are the perfect transition from small studs to big earrings. Wear these with your hair piled up high in a messy bun to muse that perfect vintage look and show them off.

Wednesday Wishlist - Republic Special

When shopping today I found myself wandering around Republic, drooling at all the pretty clothes they had in stock. With Republic I always find not just one thing I want, but I walk in and end up wanting absolutely everything. The only time this hasn't been the case was when I once bravely faced the January sales and got so stressed out I had to leave within 5 minutes. Back to the point, Republic is definitely a store that you could get your whole summer wardrobe from this summer. That's why I've chosen some of my favourite products from Republic only this week, instead of a list of products from various different shops.


Crafted Flag Vest Top, £19.99

At first glance, you wouldn't think this is a summer top but in actual fact this top is perfect for festivals. It's rock, its edgy, and the slits in the back gives it a really girly feel. This top would look excellent with denim hot pants and a pair of biker boots. Complete the look with messy bed head hair, smudged eyeliner and a trilby hat. You'd look right at home at any festival!


Miso Peter Pan Button Dress, £24.99

If you've got any garden parties to go to this summer then this is the dress right here that you should be wearing. It's so adorably vintage that it would even look lovely celebrating the royal wedding! This dress is very in right now with the peter pan collar as well. The perfect look to go with this dress would be a half up half down do with your hair - with lots of back combing to make the bouffant massive - and cateyed eyeliner! A pale pink lipstick would look lovely and as for clothes just a pair of plain black pumps would match this dress. If its a bit chilly team it with black tights.

Soul Cal Deluxe Patchwork Hot Pants, £24.99

Get toning up now girls because you WILL want these hot pants for summer! They go with everything and the best part about them is the girly detail along the bottom which gives them a really feminine feel! Team with long vest tops, short crop tops, pumps, wedges, sandles...the list is absolutely endless!



Crafted I Love Me Vest Top, £19.99

I adore this top! I love how its a rough, rock chick top but the colours are so neutral that it can be worn any way really. I especially like the love heart shaped out of little stars - gorgeous! And the holes in the top gives it a very rough, street look. For a real edgy look wear this with black skinny fit jeans with lots of bracelets piled up on your arms.

Influence Peter Pan Lace Dress, £29.99

Another peter pan dress that's bang on trend at the moment. This dress is such a lovely and subtle shade of blue that I think it can pretty much be worn anywhere and for any look you're going for - dress it up with heels, dress it down by wearing it over jeans etc. The lace gives it a real classy feel. Purple smokey eyes would look amazing with this dress for a day to evening look. For a really girly theme, try some sky scraper heels with the dress and not much else - keep the accessories low and the hair wavy.

Wednesday Wishlist

Firstly apologies for missing last weeks 'Wednesday Wishlist', I had work and fell asleep as soon as I got in as I'd done a record of four all nighters last week for some reason! Anyway, back to normal now and here's what I really want this week...

Crafted Military Jumper, £29.99, Republic

The weather just seems to be getting colder and colder (hurry up summer!) so this jumper is a must have! The long arms and ruffled cuffs are bang on trend as is the shoulder detail, with shoulder embellishments being in at the moment. This jumper is also right at home in the crop-top phase with the center of the jumper being raised ever so slightly. This thick jumper would keep anyone warm and would go with almost everything being such a versatile colour and the little pocket makes it stand out.

Urban Decay Naked Palette, £27.00 available from Boots, Debenhams and House Of Fraiser

It's a well known fact that you can never go wrong with neutral colours and this palette features all of them and a few more. Ideal for everyday use these sexy but subtle range of cream, brown and black colours means you can mix and match to your hearts content. You also have the choice of using a few light colours for a more natural look or you can blend a few for more show stopping looks. There is really no end for all the different styles you can create with this palette and you can be very creative. I'm already a huge fan of 'Smog' and 'Half Baked' which are two shades I use almost every day (from a separate palette). I will definitely be purchasing the 'Naked Palette' soon though!


Blink 182 UK Tour Tickets, £33.19, http://uktickets.blink182.com/Store

Even though its old news, I couldn't believe it when I found out Blink 182 had reformed! They are one of my most favourite bands of all time and I've always wanted to see them live. I have been to so many gigs over the years and seen so many bands that Blink 182 are the only band left on the list that I really want to see but haven't yet. So I'll be saving to get tickets so I can see these live! One of my other favourite bands, Youmeatsix are supporting too!

Sheer Heart Tights, £3.99, New Look

Far cuter then the not very original polka dot tights EVERYONE has (I say this because I wanted a pair myself and cannot find them anywhere with the 'right sized' dots!), these very cute heart tights are so adorable! The tights are in black so can be worn with everything and statement tights have become a massive trend since 2010, so go a step further (and a step away from the dots) with these replacement heart tights. These tights are also ideal for Valentines day to add a bit of romance to your outfit!



Blackpool pleasure beach wristband, £22.00, https://www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/shop/low_fare.php

Okay, so it's not exactly an on key stylish piece of clothing everyone is after or an eagerly awaited nail varnish colour but the last item of my 'Wednesday Wishlist' is a Blackpool Pleasure Beach wristband! Me and my boyfriend are hoping (aka frantically saving) to go away to Blackpool in a few weeks for Valentines day and our anniversary (which is three days beforehand). It's our first time away together and I know we'll drive each other mad but I'm sure it'll be nice. Anyway, I love the pleasure beach which is a really awesome theme park in Blackpool and the image above is of the 'Pepsi Max' a massive roller coaster they have there!
