Crying a river of beautiful garments

So here's another casual outfit.. Way, way, waaay too much time on my hands! I'm not going to babble on too much, but i thought i'd show you some more things i'm wishing for. Yes, more.. I think I need help! 

Without further ado, this Alexander McQueen skull embellished iPad case is without a doubt one of the nicest cases i've seen (closely followed by the Prada ones) I want it so much but it would be rather ridiculous of me to spend almost £300 on a cover for my iPad, which i hardly use.. And in fact, i already have a perfectly good, slightly ugly case.. So i'm taking the sensible road on this one, but that doesn't stop me from crying at it online! 

The Acne ankle boots will also, erm, never be mine. I might as well face the facts and move on with my woeful life. They're called Acne black star, they're £350 and Alexa Chung has a pair! If any of you get them/have them you should definitely tell me about them.. Or post them to me, I'm a 6. (Worth a shot?) 

I'm finding these wish lists rather upsetting if i'm honest, who in their right mind would put everything they want infront of themselves before realising it's called a 'wish' list for a reason.. Wishing never helps, working does (And that is why i need a job £££) 

This is just an insight of my day to day outfits, although mine are much less expensive. Not so much a wish-list, more a general outfit.. But i am going to post one wish-list a month and hopefully try and get the items i've posted during that month and then post what i think of them.

Apologies for weeping so much! 

Lots of love (and tears)

P.s What is Alexa doing in my boots? No faaair

 So this is one of my recent purchases.. I've been thinking about getting a plain black midi dress for a few months but i haven't had an appropriate excuse or occasion, not that i ever really need one. Alas, i've finally got one! And i'm so in love with it, i never want to take it off.. Like ever! It's so comfy and quite flattering, i was afraid it wouldn't do my body justice giving the shape of it but it's not so bad! I'm still pondering what i'm going to put with it to make an outfit.. At the moment i'm content with it how it is, maybe with some little black heels, possibly gold accessories? Who knows, but as Karl Largerfeld said "One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress."

"Fashions fade, style is eternal."

Rain rain, go away

To distract myself from this naaastay weather, i've decided to focus on the spring that's hopefully just around the corner. (Hurry up i'm bored of wearing 4 pairs of socks and covering my outfits with layers upon layers of ugly jumpers that my grandfather would probably look good in, damnit!) Summer/Spring always seems pretty mundane in the UK, but the during January/February blues you realise how much you take it for granted. You wouldn't think think outfit is very 'summer-y'.. Unless, of course you live where i live.. Then you could say i'm wishful thinking. I think this it's a rather sweet daytime outfit, shopping, sight-seeing.. Maybe even picnic-ing (If you do that)

Firsty, this Dolce and Gabbana bag is something i'm currently saving up for, the price seems pretty silly for a plain black tote but i personally think it's absolutely to die for! It's so minimalist, but hey less is more.. And it's big enough for me to hoard all my crap. It's something i'd definitely use until it's on it's last legs.. I just need it! (Late Christmas present, anyone?) 

Again with the Diorific lipstick, this colour is perfect for the summer.. Especially with smokey eyes and a dark outfit! My Dior lipstick collection is rapidly growing, oopsy.. 

These Topshop woven boat shoes are another item on the list of things i need. They're beautiful and convenient.. Mainly because i hate wearing socks but, man.. Just look how pretty they are! Knowing me they'll sell out before i get a chance to purchase them but fingers crossed when i have the money my size will be sat on the shelf with my name of them. 

Oh, Topshop, how i love you and your MOTO jeans.. So comfy, so gorgeous! These high-waisted mid stone coloured jeans are something i've had my eye on for a while, i usually go for dark coloured trousers but these are great for a casual summer look, gimi gimi gimi! 

I'm hoping on having this outfit in my wardrobe in time for my weekend in London in the summer.. So i'm going to have a lot of saving to do.. Unless of course, anybody's kind enough to gift them to me, yeah okay.. NAT going to happen

That's one of dream spring/summer outfits.. Finished with a pair of vintage Raybans and a Frappacino in hand.. I must say the thought of sitting on grass with the sun in my eyes is keeping me positive at the moment!

Lots of love

Current Wishlist

It's a very dark and drizzly day in Swansea today, not much different to any other day here. I must say, rain makes for the perfect lazy day but if you've got places to be it's the biggest pain, i'm in dire need of a rain coat! Admittedly i've done absolutely nothing besides drink coffee and gawk at things i can't afford online today.. So i've decided to share with you what i'm currently wishing for.
I absolutely adore this leather embroidered journal, it's so pretty! I've been needing a new journal for some time now but i can't bring myself to start a new one, i'm still cramming as much as i can into my current one.. But i'll definitely be getting this one once i've plucked up the courage to start a new one.
The embroidered mesh crop top is from Topshop, i've tried it on so many times but they never seem to have my size. I think it's pretty much sold out everywhere but i'm not surprised as it's so beautiful.. It's always my favourite items that i can never get a hold of, sucks to be me.. Maybe i'm cursed?
I tried these Western ARTREU ankle boots on around Christmas time and had to choose between these and a pair of brown chelsea boots.. I chose the Chelsea boots and every time i think about these i cry a little inside.. Have you ever fallen in love with a pair of shoes that you don't own? It's heartbreaking, I suppose i'll keep telling myself it's 'almost' summer to ease the pain, but i'll long for next Winter and make sure i'm a proud owner by then!
And last but definitely not least, Diorific lipstick. They have to be my all time faves! The colour lasts all day (unless you drink as much coffee as me, then you may have to reapply once or twice) and the cases are so precious.. This colour is called, Diva.. (because i'm so sassy)

Lots of love
