ASOS Wants

Earrings | Denim Jacket | Santa Jumper | Navy Pleat Skirt | Evil Twin Dress | Navy Leather Trousers | Rib Tee | Flatforms Brogues

So I received a bonus at work this month (most loved by customers say what) so I'm now deciding what I want to treat myself too. As ever ASOS always provides and this month I'm craving navy, warm coats and stupid santa jumpers. Having recently bought a pair of black leather trousers and adoring them, I now want a navy pair to add to my collection. I've been searching high and low for a dress with a tie waist detail and this beauty from Evil Twin may be my way to achieve it, for an reasonable price of course!

Now the festive season has well and truly hit us, I think its high time to update the christmas jumper with this cheeky slogan version, of course in black. As I said I'm loving navy at the present and this pleat skirt fits both features I love in a skirt, A-Line design with a pleated detail. 

Lastly, I'm still not over the Stella McCartney flatform shoes and these versions from ASOS are probably the closest I'll ever get on a student budget, but sadly they are out of stock at the moment :(

What are you loving from ASOS at the moment?

Shoes are a Girls Best Friend

Mule Loafers - Topshop | Leather Pointed Boots - ASOS | Black Boots - ASOS

Gola Trainers - ASOS | Croc Snakeskin Flatform - Topshop

So you must know by now that I really like shoes. Shiny, patent, boots, trainers, loafers. Basically I have a massive shoe addiction, which became really apparent when I had to choose which ones to take to uni! Not that stops me from making a shoe wishlist...

I mostly buy my shoes from ASOS (surprise) and Topshop and their footwear are on form this Autumn/Winter. I love any mule type shoe and these silver mule loafers are like my dream shoe combo, and what could be better than a shoe that doesn't rub your ankle?! As Winter is kicking in, I obviously need another pair of boots... These two are my top picks, pointed shoes are the best and so so flattering to any outfit, they elongate legs and everything. I love leather but there's something about the ponte material with the snakeskin tips that makes me really happy. Trainers are still super in and fit so well with the 90's normcore trend and these Gola ones are very similar to the Adidas Stan Smith's, but for only £20! Lastly, these Topshop flatforms are SO similar to the Stella MacCartney flatforms, but for a bargain £35, how can I refuse?!

What shoes are you feeling this A/W?

ASOS White Lustin'

Denim Jogger | Leather Jogger | Midi Dress | Leather Dungarees | Co-ord Set (Top) & (Bottom)

Bomber Shirt Dress | Silk Shirt Dress | Cashmere Jumper | Shirt Dress | Bomber Jacket

ASOS White Collection is possibly the best range of clothing I've ever set my eyes on. Made up of silk, leather, denim, cashmere, it adds a luxe edge to the amazing design ASOS strives to provide. Compared to the high street comparison, Topshop Boutique, its on another level and although I currently don't own any of the collection, I think I may have to make a little purchase once loan day comes in. I'm particularly won over by the White Shirt Dress, all I've ever wanted to own is a classic cut shirt dress, that would look both casual and smart depending on how I dressed it up.

What do you think of the ASOS White Collection?

Zara A/W Wishlist

Drawstring Trousers | Blue Slogan Tee | Doctor's Bag | Lace Top | Midi Dress | Leather Tote | Black Slogan Tee | Lace Embroidered Maxi Dress 

So hey guys, I'm back after my brief hiatus due to university obligations and I thought I'd kick it off again with a lovely wistful wishlist post for Zara.

Me and Zara, our friendship has been brief but beautiful and now they've started stocking their A/W stock, I'm very happy indeed. My current basket equals £144 and if I wasn't going away this Friday, I probably would have already ordered the lot. But we both know I will end up ordering something so I will keep you informed!

My top picks from Zara at the moment are:

- Drawstring Trousers, I recently realised that I don't own any grey trousers and this has greatly upset me and I feel it needs to be altered ASAP. This pair as just enough casual to get away with at university but I could easily dress up with a pair of heels.

- Blue Slogan Tee, Zara do tee's so well, I can't resist stocking up in some classic slogan ones.

- Doctor's Bag, I actually study Computer Science at University and am thus needed to bring my laptop onto campus most days and I feel this bag would be able to carry all my crap plus laptop so basically it's a uni essential?! Right...

- Lace Top, can't really bet a black lace top, perfect to dress up a pair of jeans if you need a quick evening outfit.

- Midi Dress, I've only recently braved the midi due to my short legs and now can't resist anything of the midi length, especially if it has a slogan printed across it.

 - Leather Tote, this is my other chosen university bag, cheaper but doesn't seem as sturdy as the Doctor's bag, but would add a dash of colour into my universally black wardrobe.

- Black Slogan Tee, another slogan tee to boot, of course there had to be a black tee in this wishlist.

- Lace Embroidered Maxi Dress, I have lusted over this dress for months and months and although it would have been perfect for summer, I totally think it would be workable in the Autumn months with leather jacket or even duster coat.

Wishlist's always end up in me convincing myself I need all these items and with a shopping trip to Manchester coming my way on Tuesday, I may return with a few of these pieces, to be continued... 

ASOS Wishlist #1

Girl Scout Dress | Check Sun dress | Kimono Top | Red Lips Crop Top | Make Out Baseball Top | Leather Boots  | Tartan Trousers 

So it seems suitably appropriate to start off my blog with a post about my favourite shop, ASOS! Not a day passes by without me checking their New In Section. As a girl who basically either dresses like Morticia Addams or all in white, some of these items are way out of my comfort zone. The ASOS sale is too tempting for words sometimes and nearly all of these pieces are part of it, brilliant timing for stocking up on summer bargains, even though two of the top are actually long sleeved... And those tartan trousers are like my dream item, they may end being part of my wardrobe rather than just a dream.
