Wednesday Wishlist - Shoe Lust Special

Shooooooooooes! So pretty! So sexy! The perfect way to transform any outfit! I'm getting a little bit bored of the typical picking five items out each Wednesday and commenting on them as it ends up really random so this week I'm mixing it up a bit and focusing on shoes!

Diamante Strappy Heel Sandles, £29.99, New Look

I adore this satin girly shoes. Just looking at them makes me think they'd be perfect teamed with a prom dress for a really nice occasion such as a wedding or a formal dinner/dance. They are the most beautiful colour that will really compliment your legs and the diamante cross-over straps give them a bit of a stylish edge.

Limited Edition Pretty Burgundy Suede Wedge, £69.99, Miss Selfridge

These are absolutely gorgeous. I love how vintage they are and the bow is such a cute touch! Because they are wedges it means they are ever so slightly less painful than your normal heels or stilettos as they have much more support. These would be ideal for a first date. Personally I'm thinking a gorgeous floaty white dress with these shoes would really complete the look.

Bling Disc Sandles, £35.00, Accessorize

Release your inner wild child with these boho sandles, perfect for all those trips to the beach (er, perhaps next summer rather then this years lack of sunshine). I love the detailing on these sandles and they are versatile colour so they will go with pretty much everything. Long wavy hair would suit these shoes.

Black Lace Up Buckle Ankle Boots, £42.00, River Island

Although they aren't particularly feminine, I really like these rocker boots. They'd give the perfect edge to any outfit and would really give off the indie/rocker vibe. They would look especially lush with skinny fit jeans or, if you're feeling brave, a dress and black lacy tights. They are perfect for winter too and for keeping your tootsies warm in those cold days!

Black Suede Platform Courts, £34.99, Quiz Clothing

And finally we have the classic black court shoes. These are the sexiest pair of shoes a woman can own as they are a timeless classic and will compliment any outfit. Wear with a dress, wear them without clothes and just with your matching black underwear (for your lucky men of course) or wear them and nothing else! These shoes just ooze sexiness....Gimme now!

(Note - I am in love with a gorgeous pair of mustard yellow shoes from Internacionalle at the moment and they would without a doubt be on this list if the shop uploaded item photos on their website..so keep your eye out for them!)

Yellow Smock Dress, £45.00, River Island.com (web exclusive)

Mustard Yellows are extremely in this summer/winter and are the perfect shade to stand out. This particular shade is very show stopping so should be used sparingly. This dress is perfect for that transition from summer to winter ; wear it as it is with nude heels or wedges this summer or add some grey knee high socks and a cute waistcoat for when the weather starts getting chilly. This dress is absolutely gorgeous and spot on for style. At almost £50 it may seem a little steep, especially as it isn't a versatile colour, but with a bit of creativity to get the proper use out of the dress, perhaps the price tag will be worth it!

Ladies 2in1 Belted Dress, £24.00, Peacocks

It's not actually always easy to put clothes together and work out what goes with what, especially when it comes to printed skirts or tops in less versatile shades. That's why I like these type of items and this dress is no exception. It comes as it is - even with a belt - and there's no need to add or remove anything to add to the look. At £24.00 it's a real bargain. Lovely tanned coloured heels would really suit this dress!

High Waisted Shorts, £19.99, New Look

Chocolate brown is also very much in this year (perfect for winter) and goes extremely well alongside mustard yellow. Brown can also go with a lot of things easily. These really cute high waisted shorts are very stylish right now, I would without a doubt suggest teaming them with a bright mustard yellow top. If you're feeling really brave, wear a cream vest top with them and instead swap brogues for a pair of mustard yellow heels.

MOTO Denim Western Crop Jacket, £42.00, Topshop

I really, really love this eye catching jacket and again think it would go perfectly with all the browns and creams that are in at the moment. Like a lot of the current trends, you'd definitely need the confidence to pull this off but this is definitely a wishlist item!

Pearl Bracelet With Bow Detail In Peach, £7.00, Funkydivaa.com

I adore this bracelet - it's so girly! I just had to add this as my final 'Wednesday Wishlist' item. I think this is the perfect accessory to add to any outfit - a lot of the time it's hard to remember to keep something a little bit feminine when it comes to choosing what to wear but with this bracelet on your wrist at all times you will always have that girly/feminine touch. It's also ever so slightly romantic. This bracelet is very much like something you'd find in Accessorize but at a much cheaper price!

High Waist Denim Shorts, £19.99 New Look

Get those legs out now that its summer! These high waist shorts ooze sophistication and can be both vintage and contemporary. Best worn with wedges, or with shoes like the ones above, these shorts will make it look like your legs go on forever! Try being bold and teaming them with a lace leotard and even higher heels for a night out. High waist shorts are the perfect wardrobe essential to go from day to night in no time.

Kirsty Two Pocket Jersey Cardigan, £5.00, Boohoo.com

This adorable cardigan is the perfect pick for brightening up or adding colour into any outfit. With such a lovely shade for summer, this cardigan would look gorgeous over a plain white dress or outfit. And at £5.00, its a real bargain! It's also available in red too.

Porsha Ruffle Hanky Hem Tunic, £15.00, Boohoo.com

I love this! This girly waterfall top is so cute and light that it can be worn for just about anything. This is the type of top that I'd wear casually on a day to day basis with skinny fit jeans and pumps. I'd probably team a long cardigan with it too. Soft blue nails would match this top, with lots of oversized rings too!

Sleeveless Studded Blouse Top in Coral, £14.99, Funkydivaa.com

I've really been digging (haha retro) these types of tops lately. They're so effortlessly smart and bang on trend with the peter pan collar, but can also be worn casually. Lately I've also been seeing them with studs in like this one, and I really, really love this twist. It really glams up the top and gives it a bit of an edge. This means that before where it could be worn casual or smart, it can also be worn for a more glam event too. With the top being fairly long, it can also be tucked into a bodycon skirt or jeans. This top is also available in black or royal blue.

Floral Print Drape Chiffon Playsuit, £18.99, Funkydivaa.com

I'm not a massive fan of playsuits as I don't feel they are quite feminine, but this one outshines most I have seen. The floral print detail really gives it a girly look, as does the shape. This is a playsuit that should definitely be worn with a belt to show off a person's shape better. This one is really cute as its versatile so can be worn with a number of different things. Hot pink wedges would give this outfit real 'oomph'!

Wednesday Wishlist - Punkyfish Special

Following my previous post about the special offer Punkyfish currently has on at the moment, my Wednesday Wishlist this week will feature items from Punkyfish.

Bling Headphones T-Shirt Off White, £20.00

I really love this funky top, I've seen loads of variations of headphones on a t-shirt - mainly for men - so this is quite cool for a female top. It's available in more colours too, but this is my favourite. The website states that this top would look great in the day for a casual look, or sexy on a night out with killer heels - and I agree! A pair of skinny fit jeans would also look good.

Asymmetric Sheer Blouse Peach, £7.50

I really like this top ; I've seen a lot of people wearing tops like this lately. It's a really smart top that can be worn normally or can be doubled up and worn to work because of the button up style and the collar. This would give off a really vintage look if worn in the day as well, think lots of bracelets on your arms and flared jeans with heels.

Chiffon Dress Stone, £10.99

This dress is really cute! In fact, it could be quite sexy. I love the oversized bow, it really reminds me of Christmas (although that may be because I'm watching a Christmas episode of Friends in the background!). Wear with just some heels for a night out, or add tights to wear to a nice family event. A big, poofy ponytail would look great with this dress too with long dangly earrings. 

Slashed Lace Leggings Black, £15.00

These sexy leggings will really give any outfit an edge. These would look great with an oversized boyfriend t-shirt with a big black belt on the waist to show off your shape better, or the Asymmetric Sheer Blouse (as shown before) in white. Don't forget a pair of killer heels too!

Butterflies and Flowers Sheer Blouse Stone, £12.99

I love this, it's so cute! Animal print is really popular this summer (I am aware that a butterfly is actually an insect) but this is really on trend at the moment. It's really vintage and I adore the ties at the collar. This would definitely be worn casual with jeans and pumps.

Wednesday Wishlist

This week I will be doing a 'Wednesday Wishlist' special featuring items from Funky Divaa.com. I've had my eye on this website for a while now ; everything it features is always on trend and affordable. It also offers a wide range of different things including gorgeous footwear (which is rare when it comes to ordering online) and accessories. I particularly love that they sell fake eyelashes and even hair accessories such as clip in hair extensions. For our special readers, Funky Divaa have also offered a special discount code! Simply enter the code LOUISE15 at check out to recieve a 15% discount on your order - exclusively to readers of this blog! Here are my pick of the best items I'm lusting after at the moment.

Cropped Skinny Jeans in Rust, £18.99

Although I'm not too keen on the belt, this funky bold trousers are really eye catching and cute. For an easy way to colour block, I'd suggest purchasing these and teaming them with a neutral white vest top and high wedges. I really like the look of these as they are clearly a good fitting pair of trousers and are really eye catching! These are also available in five different colours.

Summer Floral Pattern Stiletto Heels, £24.99

Can't you just imagine all the romantic summer weddings or lustful summer evening dates when you see these? Oooh, all the places you could wear them too! These totally gorgeous printed heels just ooze romance and sophistication and are absolutely perfect for summer. Wear this with a long, floaty white dress and lots of gold bangles or dress up a plain outfit with these on a night out. The heel is 5.5 inches high too which means they will give your legs that extra oomph and make them look amazing. Now where's that fake tan...

Mini Body Con Skirt In Fuchsia Pink, £9.99

I know I keep picking loads of stuff in bright colours, but there's nothing wrong with standing out! This body con skirt is perfect for a night out - it clings to your curves in all the right places which will really emphasize a lovely feminine shape. A black top and heels would really make this outfit sexy, or white for a more toned down look. Again, with heels, your legs will look like they go on forever with this type of skirt, and it will give you a really nice bum!

Embroidered Shoulder Detail Dress In Nude, £24.99

Despite the fact that oversized things can be a tricky trend to pull off, this dress looks gorgeous. Oversized dresses can really give off that casual but sexy look when pulled off right - think messy, tousled hair and smokey eyes with this dress. This dress is great for a night out and the embellished shoulders are very stylish right now and make the outfit look that bit better. Add loads of bracelets to your arm to keep in with the look too, and again, add sky high heels.

Eylure 107, Naturalite Strip Eyelashes, £5.00

I love these fake eyelashes because they are very natural looking. Fake eyelashes are often a must have on a night out for many girls, and while thick over the top styles are great for themed nights, I prefer ones that look natural but still look extra amazing. These eyelashes are great because they look like you have long, fluttering eyelashes like a star, but they still look real! Well worth the price!

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

Oriental Print Maxi Dress, £39.00, Miss Selfridge

I really love this printed maxi dress as it reminds me of warm summer evenings. It's a little bit shorter than your average maxi dress, so its a bit more floaty and girly. I think it's a really lovely dress that can be just shoved on over a bikini or just worn for a lazy, summer evening BBQ. The way that its slightly taken in too means that a funky belt would spruce up the outfit. A messy up-do with random bits of tousled hair hanging down with some girly earrings would suit this look nicely. Keep the accessories to a minimum and instead just wear earrings and some nice nude wedges.

MOTO Tangerine Denim Hotpants, £26.00, Topshop

These bright hot pants are the perfect way to keep stylish with the new colour blocking trend. For those of you willing to go bold enough, a bright coloured pair of hotpants would look amazing with a plain white top. You'd certainly turn heads wearing these, and, if you are really confident, you could instead team them with a colour block t-shirt in another bright colour. Again keep the accessories to a minimum for this outfit and let the bright colours do the talking.

Saffia Crochet Detail Tunic, £22.00, Boohoo.com

I hope you're ready for all the music festivals this summer! If you're still picking out you're wardrobe then you need to get this top - it's a summer staple for all the festivals this year. This gorgeous waterfall top - which is also available in white - would look amazing with denim hotpants and piles and piles of beaded necklaces. Oh, and if you're brave enough, this top would look hot with the hotpants featured before - very on trend!

Cream Floral Peep Toe Wedges, £35.00, Dorothy Perkins

Talk about shoe lust! There are just no words to describe how pretty these babies are! Ooh and the outfit ideas to go with them are endless...wear with a plain white dress, a coral playsuit...anything would go! Just remember to paint your toenails a nice bright colour (or give yourself a French pedicure!) as your toes will be on show!

Belted Flower Skirt, £22.99, New Look

This bold patterned skirt may remind you of something your nan might wear but its very stylish right now! Bang on trend, this flowery skirt is great for turning heads with such a bold style. A simple cream top, like the one pictured with it, would go perfect. Pile on the bangles to add to the look, and cream shoes too.

Floral Sleeveless Dress, £24.00, Dorothy Perkins

I love this simple, floral summery dress from Dorothy Perkins. I think what I like most about it is that its sleeveless - the basic straight down shape means it would look absolutely amazing teamed with heels and bracelets piled high on each arm. I really love the vintage pattern as well. For a look thats more suitable for the day, tuck it into a high waisted skirt or shorts especially for summer with some plain pumps. Pink lips with vintage earring studs would also complete the look.

Satin Strappy Platform, £24.99, New Look

These strappy sandles really get me in the mood for the summer. This hot pink shade will brighten up any outfit and would look lovely with a plain white dress. Match your nails to this colour by painting them pink. Wear these with a little black dress for an evening/clubbing look that really stands out with a french pedicure.

Ruffle Bow Back Camisole, £30.00, ASOS

I really love tops that have interesting back detail like this as I think its so refreshing. I think its a much classier approach to showing a little flesh on a night out too, as opposed to flashing your cleavage or legs! This top is majorly cute and looks really good with shorts. This outfit should be kept very simple with pumps for in the day, or heels for the evening. Brush your hair and curl it to one side to really show off the back detail with this dress.

Magali Tailored Pleat Dress in Camel, £21.99, Missguided

I'm really loving all the honey and mustard yellows that we are seeing this summer as I think they are key pieces to your wardrobe - any girl should own something in a nice eye catching shade of yellow! This dress is incredibly vintage with its mid length sleeves and the skinny belt to give it more shape. 

Paris Charm Bracelet, £14.00, Accessorize 

This gorgeous bracelet will have you dreaming of a romantic summer spent in Paris! If you can't afford to travel to France, get this bracelet instead for a subtle hint of romance to your outfit. Wear it with anything at all, but bright red or blue heels will really be eye catching as they match the bows on this bracelet.

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.
