Lush Wishlist

Now I love Lush as much as the next girl but I never find time to go in plus I never know what to look for! However as my first year of college comes to a close and I'm sitting my last exam (June 5th!) I thought I would gather a huge Lush wishlist and spend spend spend! once I've finished which I'm now rather excited about as there are ton's of products I want to try.

First off the Lush face masks, I really want to try them! Every time I pop into Lush this is the first place I head to, they smell and look wonderful and it's just finding the right one to try first. On my list I have Cupcake and Love Lettuce as starting points as I haven't really looked at any others. Next on my list are some of their hand and foot potions. One potion on my list - the 'Volcano' foot mask I've tried before and adored so that'll be a repurchase for me! Also I would love to try some cleansers, I just want lovely looking skin and products that smell divine!

Another favorite I've seen which are very cheap in my opinion are the solid perfumes. They start from £5 and I've got my eye on 'Lust' and 'Imogen Rose' after seeing some lovely reviews on Ali's blog, they look like a really good concept. Plus a girl can never have too many perfumes!

What Lush product would you recommend?

It's all about the bag! // Wishlist #4

one - two - three - four - five 

Now I've always thought of Ted Baker bags as the horrible plastic ones with the big bows that nearly every girl in and out of college has... How wrong I was. Now I didn't like those bags so I thought hey I won't like any TB bags... Oh dear. 

I would have to say without a doubt the third is most definitely my favorite! 

Above I have put together a selection of ones I just about adore. There's little ones and big ones and ones in between  so one for every occasion! First off I adore the tan colour on bags, I crave tan bags so the Tote with a bow is just to die for, I just want it, however the price tag makes me cry a little (£230). But also does the black one next to it, I love anything it tote form and for me would be perfect for college because I carry a lot of stuff!

However I do like my smaller bags and and the colour tan and baby pink bag would be perfect for a night out or even a meal out, to me it's so cute and dainty oh and it's the perfect colour every for a bag! If I could I would use a tan bag with every outfit, even if it didn't go.. oops. Mind, the red bag is so gorgeous and the colour is so deep and just perfect for every day use as it has handles as well as a strap, so good for me! All the bags look roomy but also lightweight. The designs are simplistic but every so gorgeous.

I wish I were a rich girl. 

April Wishlist // #3

one // two // three // four // five

How gorgeous is everything on here? I seem to be getting quite good at putting these together and posting them. I've had a lot of spare time on my hands recently due to Easter meaning I've had chance to surf the web (eek!) and I've found some gorgeous things I really want but can't really afford, boohoo :(

My favorite thing on here is the camera, I would love to update my old Fuji Film but the camera I really would like (Nikon D3100 which isn't shown) is around £370 at the moment and eep, I'm not made of money! However a close is second is this gorgeous dress for a tenner! It's so perfect, I wasn't colour keen at first but it's sure grown on me. Along with the dress are the shoes, I love anything studded, heeled and boot'd. These are gorgeous and every so cheap!

I know bucket bags have been and gone yet I still really want one. Now I'm not overly keen on forking out about £70 for a special Zara one so I found this beauty on eBay for around £20, baaargain! Another pricey item is the UD primer, I would love to try it as it's so highly rated, I think I'll have to wait till a big payday comes around!

All The Wants // Wishlist #2

one // two // three // four // five // six // seven

I think I've been lusting over everything on this wishlist for a while now. The Topshop pini is a need, I loved the one they released a few months ago and this one is just as gorgeous, I'm so into rocking the school kid look at the moment. Also I really want to get back into skincare and wanted to kick it off with some face masks, I love berry smells so after reading some reviews I decided on the Good Things Five Minute Facial.

Now make up brushes, I recently bought some from e.l.f rather cheap and realized the set I bought didn't have everything I wanted but the RT Core Collection did and at £18 on amazon right now they are such a bargain, come on payday! Also the Nivea day cream, I really badly want a new moisturizer because Botanic's just isn't doing it for me anymore. 

After watching some of Islay's videos I decided that I really badly need to find her favorite lipstick (she's a wonderful blogger by the way!) which is called 'Cherries in the Snow', Boots don't actually have it online but I have found it in shops yay! Also on an empties video she mentioned about Body Shop's body butter and I love S&G but a girl can never have too many body butters!

'Nina'. I just really badly want some new perfume, this is such a girly scent and such a cute bottle!

Another thing to add on here which I forgot is Revlon's Nearly Naked foundation, it's cheap and apparently has a wonderful finish and I need a new foundation. I just need to find the right shade as I'm rather pale with blotchy skin and don't want to waste £9 on the wrong shade :(

#1 of 2013 // make up wishlist

one // two // three // four // five

Most things within this wishlist I've never tried before and would LOVE to get my mitts on!
Most definitely number 3, I would love to loose my MAC virginity to such a gorgeous colour and adorable packaging, I'm just hoping someone will fork out the £15 for me! (heh). Another thing is number 1, never in all my life have I tried blusher nor attempted. But I feel like it's time to change my ways so I thought I'd start out with a nice cheap one just in case I don't like it.

On the other hand I have tried the Dream Mousse and I used it a lot when I was younger, I much prefer this type of foundation to liquid it's just the £8 price tag really does make me sad. Also S&G's perfume, I love their body sprays so I'd love to try a perfume from them. Plus their make up! Their packaging is so neat and vintage plus concealer for me is a godsend so I'd love to try theirs!

What's on your wishlist this week?

The Perfect Dress

For this little post I have collaborated with House of Fraser to bring you some of my favorite dresses from their new collection. I've split them into two section, black and colour because I loved so many dresses and it was just so hard to choose!

1 | 2 | 3

I loved number one simply because it felt so vintage, despite me being very small and probably not able to pull it off it would look wonderful. However number 3 has to be my favorite simply because I love skater dresses however at £200 I think I may have to stick to Primark for my dresses in future.

1 | 2 | 3 

I love number two it just feels so classy and elegant like out of Pretty Woman. However number three is yet again my favorite, I love all the lacy detail in white falling on to the black skirt bit of the dress. It looks gorgeous.

Now most of these dresses are waaay out of my price range but I would happily take all of them if I had the chance! They all just feel so classy and worth the money plus the red one in particular are gorgeous! If you've liked any of these dresses you really should check out the House of Fraser website for even more gorgeous dresses.

** I was approached by a representative of House of Fraser to do this post. I wasn't paid nor given anything in exchange. I myself picked the dresses and wrote the post. And I really enjoyed doing so. 

The Power of the Tablet!

I remember when the iPad's were released and I wanted one, so badly. I have always really loved the idea of having a tablet, sure a laptop is good but when I'm at college having a tablet would be rather handy, especially when I need a computer and there's absolutely none of them free. So this is what's on my Christmas list this year. 

This tablet either comes with a 10.1" screen with 16G of memory or a 7" screen with 8G of memory. Don't they look gorgeous?

The 10.1" screen tab at £238 is an absolute bargain with 16G of memory and a memory card slot for extra memory. It's on an Android software with the Google Play store. It looks absolutely huge in that picture and you can get it in white which is an added bonus. Really, what I want it for is obviously searching the web, blogging and all sorts but also the bigger screen allows me to use it for college comfortably when typing up work or researching because I don't have to hunt down a computer. While the 7" tab is much cheaper at £158 it's also got a much smaller memory at 8G and a smaller screen, not so good. Also I love the idea of a tablet, much like a computer apart from you don't have to wait for it to boot up and what not. I feel that this type of quality at this price is a sure bargain. Plus I love the fact I'll be able to curl up in bed with it and read my books, play games or chat to people. Also the next best thing is that I can get my Kindle on there with all of my books, perfect!

I obviously have other smaller things on my Christmas list but this is my 'big' present that I'm hopefully going to go and get tomorrow!

Would you ever get a tablet?

Everything Paperchase ♡

I think like every other girl out there, I am Paperchase mad. I love cute and girly things and I love stationary  so it's like a perfect match made in heaven. Now everything I 'want' isn't on here and I haven't linked anything because everything is pretty easy to find on their website.

Now I know Paperchase is expensive, I mean £10 for a notebook is hefty, but goodness they are amazing. Especially the hand stitched ones. And I do kind of have an excuse to go spend all my hard earned money in here, I'm a student in need of pens and pencils, notebooks and folders. I especially like their laptop cases (despite mine being huge) and obviously their hand stitched dairies and also their 2013 organizers  I've already seen the one I want! I also love the adorable little clips, pens and cases they have for things such as bus tickets and cards. I ordered my very own case just the other day.

I'm not alone in my love either, my mum and my auntie are Paperchase mad. Not only do they sell stationary and big bound books, they sell wonderful birthday cards and wrapping paper. Christmas will be here soon so I can guarantee that I'll be having a little spree after just in time for the new year at college.

Whats your favorite item from Paperchase?

Birthday Wishlist!

As your all aware (or not) my birthday is on the 23rd of this month (next week!) I turn 17 and normally at this stage all you get is money to buy your own presents apart from the odd thing. I though I'd make a little wishlist just to remind myself of what I really want. 

1. Lush's Love Lettuce & Cupcake - £6

These are just two of Lush's products I'd like, I want to try all of their bath bombs and face masks, I guess I'll just have to pick a few out and try them first.

2. iPod classic 60G/120G

My iPod touch has had it's run I think, 32G is just not enough space for all my apps and music combined. I think it's time for a small upgrade and I'm determined to get one of these. Their so cute and lovely. I would also love an alarm clock and speakers in one for my iPod/iPhone, I just have to find a cheapish one.

3. Strawberry & Forest Fruits lip scrub £6.95

I saw these on someones blog a while back and thought they were ever so cute and I wanted to try them. I've seem top reviews about Lush's lip scrubs and I want to see what these products are all about and if their as good as everyone's opinions. 

4. Fake Jerffery Campells £34

These shoes are gorgeous. I'm not sure if I'd ever wear them but their always there if I would? These are so gorgeous and I love studded things at the moment as well as boots, I guess I'd just have to learn to walk in them?

5. Boucle Pini £30

I still really badly want this! It's so gorgeous and so cute I just hope it's in stock when I have the money to order it, it's delightful.

6. Casual Vacancy JK £12

I'm such a big fan of her and I just can't say no to her new book! You can pick it up at half price at the moment and I love hard back books so I can't wait for this one. With this I'll have her full collection which I'm very proud to say.

7. Casio Watch in purple £3.99

I've always been a fan of watches I've just never found one that suited me. This one is retro and in a gorgeous colour so I can't wait to get one, it's ever so cute.

8. Bookshelf Kindle Case £16.99

This may be verging on nearly £20 for a kindle case but it's so gorgeous and well my kindle is quite special to me (as are my books) and I'd hate for it to get damaged. This case is ever so cute and well, it's gorgeous and very 'me'.

There is so much stuff not on this list I would love to buy, if only I could remember it, look out for a big shopping haul post when my birthday does arrive because I'll not only have a big shopping spree with birthday money but I'll be getting paid as well.

What's on your wishlist this week?

Wishlist 02

Twizzlers - CyberCandy £1.29

Every since having this in America when I was about 6 I've been searching for them in shops over here ever since. Although they aren't around yet, this site does offer all American candy for cheap prices.

Wine Colored Stitched Jumper - Dorothy Perkins £25

I can never deny jumpers when I want them and this is in my favorite colour! Plus it is coming up to winter so I could treat myself to this one and a gorgeous cream one I found.

Gold and Ivory Wind Up Watch - Wicked Clothes $49.99   

I'm not too sure on how much this would be in ££ but this is so gorgeous! I have a thing for pocket watches and I really would like a new watch, considering I'm kind of all grown up I actually think I would use one, especially if it looked like this!

Dixie Lace Up Boots - Toxic Codeine $38.00 

I really really want a pair of these, I'm willing to spend 2 weeks worth of paycheck on them but the shipping on this site seems huge and I genuinely can't find any other alternatives :(

MAC 'Mac Red Lipstick - MAC - £14 

This color looks stunning and I've been after a deep red decent lipstick for ages, I'm just put off by the price.

Scrabble Title Cushion - BeauteBelle - £6 including p&p

The image for this tile was taken from Vicky @ daily-hoot. 

The cushion is just so cute, I saw Vicky's post about this the other week and knew I was for desperate for one, you can get any letter you like including punctuation, I think it would look lovely in my room!

Red Lip Liner - MUA £1.00

I've been after one of these for ages because the red lipsticks I use always tend to run after a while, I didn't want to spend tons on my first one because I've never actually used lip liner before! Lets hope this one does the job.

Boucle Pini - Topshop £30 

This is the most gorgeous little dress ever! Because I got paid yesterday this will be the first thing I purchase! I just need a little white blouse underneath and it will be perfect for college :)

Tote Bag - Matalan £12

Now I'm already aware I've bought a bag for college yet I just want another one, I can't help myself. I like bags with two handles and the one I bought originally had one which would be perfect if I had my locker. I don't yet sadly, however this will soon be mine :)

Love Lettece & Cupcake  - Lush £6

Now I've really badly wanted to try Lush's face masks but whenever I go in store I can never quite find them and bumble around feeling like an idiot. But these are the ones I've been recommend so I'm off to hunt them out!

Vitamin E Moisturizer Cream - The Body Shop 15ml/50ml £2.80/£6.00 online

Ever since having a bad time with the Boots own moisturizer I've been looking for one to take it's place. I've recently seen a Botanics and this one, I just wonder which one I'll find the nicest.

I am going to college this September so like every other girl I want a new handbag (or 4) plus I can't help myself when an item is studded such as a handbag or shoes, I just have to have it!

Whats on your wishlist this week?

Shoes Are A Girls Best Friend.

There has never been such a truer statement. We have shoes to impress, for comfort, for daily activities and for fun. Shoes to go with every outfit, every style, shoes to match each little thing we want. I'm not big on 'fashion' and the expensive designer clothes that have a price tag over £1,000 but when it comes to shoes, there is no limit.

For instance all the shoes I have are pretty much my favorites, I don't tend to pick my daily shoes because I already know what they'll be, that goes for my going out shoes and what not too. Here are some of my favorites.

Doc Martens have always been my favorite shoes, for a very long time. I got my first black pair at the age of about 13 and I only got my second black pair, after my first ones had literally fallen apart, at 16 for prom. I also got my second pair along with my first pair one Christmas, these were a metallic purple color. I got my silver ones when out with my current boyfriend just shopping because we had a bit of spare cash. My creepers, my first pair to date I got last October for my 16th birthday after I had nagged and pleased for them (my mum still hates them though).

Black Docs.

1st pair  £75 - Schuh. 2nd pair - £66 from eBay.

Purple Metallic Docs.

£75 - Schuh (bearing in mind this was 3 years ago).

Silver (mid leg 14/16 eyelet) Docs.

£18 - Chinese Laundry.

Black Leather Brothel Creepers (double sole 2inch)

£55 - eBay.

I also have quite a mixed collection of shoes, such as heels and little ballet pumps and also I have  Converse  and fake Chelsea boots (2nd pic). All for very different occasions but I love every pair. The third picture of heels I consider to be my babies and I've only worn them twice, I'm not use to wearing heels and well.. these ones are huuge.

Brogue Style Heeled Boots.

£25 - Newlook.

Fake Style Chelsea Boots.

£8 - Primark.

Platform Heels 

£18 - Matalan.

Converse All Star Baseball Boots (probably my 3rd at least)

£25 - Schuh (this was about 3/4 years ago as well.)

I do pretty much love all the shoes I won, I don't think I could part with any of them, instead just add to my collection and I do have a cheeky few pairs on my wishlist. Some of them pretty pricey.

Studded Doc's. Now I don't quite know where to find these because I just found the image online, so I guess their self customized. Studded Suede Brothel Creepers (double sole 2inch). £34 - eBay (inc p&p) Chelsea Boots. £24 - eBay (inc p&p, also they aren't '''real ones'''). Cherry Red Doc's. (Always been a huge favorite and must have for me). In shops - £90-£100. eBay - £50 - £60. Studded Campell Boots. I'm aware that these for real ones can be about £50 - £100 but I have seen some really good fakes for for about £40 - £50 off eBay. What some people would called an 'odd' wishlist for shoes for a girl but I guess I just like different things to what everyone else likes. But hopefully within the coming year I can knock a few pairs off my shoe wishlist, I mean I am going to need to shoes for college when I start ^.^ Follow me on Twitter | instagram
