Autumn Lust List

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

This is the first year I can remember where I haven't dressed up as a 'scary' aka slutty devil/ghost/zombie etc etc for Halloween...a definite sign I'm getting old. Instead, I'm spending my evening devouring the chocolates meant for the trick or treaters, catching up on some reality TV, and waiting for my sister to come home and join me in my indulgence. 

Chocolate to me is like blood to a vampire. 

I've also been browsing the net for some Autumn essentials and have composed another lust list (which will undoubtedly grow and grow throughout the next few days/weeks/months!). 

Tartan Trend






Navy Blue Trend







This dress reminds me of my Aztec printed dress from Missguided (pictured below). One of my favourite dresses!



Shoes/ Matching Outfits


Inspired by blogger Niomi Smart! See her blog here- 

I think these cute booties would complete a cute daytime look when paired with this dress from Topshop which I've had my eye on for a while- 


And it contains leopard print...what a surprise!





These beauts are perfect as they are work friendly as well as great for transforming a simple look for an evening out with friends. 

They also come in black-


and red-





The red would go perfectly with my Mink Pink Shirt (recent purchase from the Battersea carboot) and a pair of wet look leggings, which I practically lived in last autumn/winter time. 

I want them all! 


Keeping it Cosy






...who said winter had to be full of dark and dreary colours? (plus, I just love pretty much anything pink).

And of course, winter approaching can only mean one thing... party season is on its way! I am still on the lookout for the perfect party dress. It must contain an obscene amount of sparkles, but also ooze glamour rather than tack. I will post about it when I find it!

Happy Trick or Treating :) 

XOXO

Wednesday's Wish List

Happy hump day guys!

Yay it's Wednesday, which means were half way through the working week! On this cold Wednesday eve, I've been lying in bed browsing the many fashion and retail websites on the internet... a very regular and seemingly innocent occurrence in my life.

However, I fear that this online 'window' shopping has become incredibly addictive, and also dangerous. I never believed in love at first sight, let alone that it could happen over and over again, until I found myself falling in love with an item, and with just a few clicks of the mouse and the entering of a few digits...boom. Bye bye monies...hellooo poor Nish.

The problem is that half the time, I end up disappointed or regretting my decisions. 

'Where did those tacky sequins appear from?'
'Why is this dress bright orange...it was definitely a pretty coral'
'Is this doing the job of a burka or is it just me?'

and most importantly...

'What was I THINKING? I'll blame this purchase on the hormones...'

So today, I had a revelation. Instead of impulsively adding items to the cart (which I generally live to regret), and spending money I don't have, I thought I'd blog about them instead and make a little wish list. And if I still find myself pining after the items, well I guess I'll just have to buy them on the 23rd, aka payday- woooop!

Today, I fell head over heels in lurrrve with one particular item.
A beauuutiful red lip bag from House of Fraser:



Laura Whitmore (another girly crush of mine) has one just like it and it definitely brightens up a plain outfit. Perfect for partaaay season!


Nothing else caught my eye today...but watch this space as I guarentee more synthetic eye candy soon! 

For now, it's time for me to snuggle under my duvet and watch my favourite Geordie's! Charlotte, I love you. Marnie, not so much. Geordie shore is one classy show. 

Peace and love
