Wednesday Wishlist – 13/06

I’ve been working hard this week at my new internship at LUX FIX, a website dedicated to providing deskbound fashionistas with a daily dose of luxury. But I always find time to muse over the newly arrived clothes and accessories from my favourite high street stores! Here’s this week’s very dress-dominant wish list:

The elegance of this white belted dress, £65, Warehouse, really appeals to me. It would be perfect for daywear over the coming summer months – I’d team it with simple sandals or wedges and understated accessories.

After spending weeks lusting after this Tara Starlet mix and match outfit, I was delighted to find this similar (and much more affordable) version at Topshop. For just £32, it’s an itch I simply have to scratch!

Warehouse have really nailed the occasion dress this season, and this gorgeous pink chiffon prom dress, £90, is sentiment to that. Just look at the detail on the skirt! Beautiful!

I’m not normally a fan of jumpsuits and have never been known to wear one, but when I spotted this sexy cerise jumpsuit, £45, Miss Selfridge, I knew it would be one for the wish list. Definitely this week’s number one wish.

Finally, a more casual piece to round off the wish list, in the form of this embellished heart print tank top, £22, River Island. Perfect for lazy summer sleepovers and late lunches with friends.

Wednesday Wishlist – 06/06

Despite a long weekend of miserable weather, I refuse to give up on the British summer, and hope that the sun will come back out soon! In the meantime, here are the pieces I’ve been lusting after this week…

H&M for Water is a small but noticeable collection that has recently hit the shelves of the Swedish fashion retailer. I love the tropical print and natural textures of the range, and this bikini, £24.99, is my favourite item. Cos you can never have too many bikinis, right?

Staying with this season’s Hawaiian print trend is this gorgeous halter-neck bodice, £42, by London designer Tara Starlet. I’ve admired a few of their pieces before, and this vintage inspired top is one to add to the pile.

New Look has come up trumps this week with these two stunning bags. The mint green bag, £12.99, would be the perfect accessory day or night, and the bow and heart-shaped padlock details on this shell pink bag by Kelly Brook, £19.99, make this the ultimate in pretty feminine purses.

Finally, courtesy of the New Look shoe gallery, are these adorable peep toe jelly wedges, £14.99. Also available in black, and at a bargain price, there’s hardly an excuse not to snap these up.

Hope you all had a great bank holiday weekend…only three days til the next weekend now!

Wednesday Wishlist – 16/05/12

Usually my wishlists tend to feature at least one ‘realistic’ item – that is, an item I could actually afford to buy. Which kind of defeats the idea of a wishlist…which is why today’s compilation of pined-after pieces are far from affordable for me at the moment. Here’s to hoping!

I’ve liked Tara Starlet’s stuff for a while now, and when the beautiful Mollie of the Saturdays rocked this co-ordinating tie top, £40, and shorts, £50, ensemble on the cover of Cosmo this month, I knew this would be a look to add to my wishlist. So summery!

This week, my quest for the perfect denim dress continues, and has reaped some rewards in the form of this belted shirt dress, £50, from Oasis. It’s very similar to a denim dress that caught my eye a few weeks back, but this one combines my love of denim with the utility dress style, a favourite of mine at the moment. Definitely a strong contender.

Wedges are my ideal summer shoe, and I love the ones with a pretty length of ribbon to tie up your ankle. These lovely blush pink wedges, £48, Miss Selfridge, would go perfectly with the denim dress. Here’s to hoping we meet again in the sale!

H&M have really upped their accessories game this season, and with a collaboration with Japan Vogue’s editor Anna Dello Russo on the horizon, it’s set to get better and better. I love the vibrant turquoise edges of this straw clutch, £12.99, and the price is closer to my current budget. 

However, there is something on this list that could make the leap from wish to reality, and it’s these fabulous skull earrings by kooky jewellers, Kitsch & Bows. At a bank-balance friendly £6, they’re a treat I can afford to throw cash at this month. Yay!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Wednesday Wishlist – 25/04/12

Today was not an ordinary Wednesday for me – at around 10am, I finally handed in my final year dissertation, marking the end of my time at university (pretty much – I still have a short assignment due but for argument’s sake let’s say that’s the end!) So I’m officially no longer a student! In celebration – or commiseration, I’m not quite sure yet – I’ve been lining up some pretty purchases and even treated myself to a few (stay tuned for a ‘recently bought’ post of some sort!) Here are some of pieces I’ve been lusting over recently…

When a friend shared a link of these beauties on Facebook, I knew I had to have them. Outrageous yet oh so fun, these fabulous fuschia jelly wedges, £29, by Head Over Heels at Dune, are my favourite thing at the moment. Size 5 might be sold out online, but I will find a way…

A close second vying for my attention this week has been this amazing Hawaii print playsuit, £60, by Tara Starlet. Available in 3 gorgeous designs and printed in Hawaii, it’s a one of a kind piece which looks well worth the price. If you like something different to the norm, check out their website for lots of vintage inspired, unique designs.

So I’m not sure how I feel about dip-hem skirts/dresses really, but they do look ever so nice on the screen/hanger. This one is a cream drop back skirt, £35, Miss Selfridge. It oozes feminine chic and is the perfect skirt for the summer – weddings, nights out, lunches…a pretty skirt for every occasion.

I do like the whole utility/safari style, and this cropped shirt, £16.99, New Look would look great white a pair of high waisted jeans or shorts, teamed with a pair of low key sandals and a tasseled bag. Think Kate Bosworth cool. Probably a look that’ll have to wait til the sun turns up though…

And finally, a bag to carry me through (awful pun – sorry!) I’ve had my eye on this ASOS zip based bag, £28, for a while now. I have a sort of rule with myself when it comes to bags that you can’t fit on your shoulder…but this lovely tote might see me bend that rule…we’ll see.
