Weekend Lust List




I need to start making up my 2015 wardrobe and this is a big contender! apt for winter with some chelsea boots and great for summer with a floppy hat just in time for festival season!

£45 @ ASOS curve












I am a sucker for anything with a moon or stars on and this is right up my street!.Ideal for summer to tame my wild coarse locks

£6 @ASOS








Recently i've been getting into darker lip colours but especially deep reds and purples and this colour is ideal for a party and a good excuse to get a new lippy for NYE.This lipstick is part of M.A.Cs heirloom mix range and the colour is called Tribalist!.I always find their lipsticks to have great staying power and pigmentation so this is one i will be investing in.

£17 @M.A.C

Venezia







Slightly long overdue post but since losing my password i have been unable to update! in november i took a mini break to venice for my birthday and i had a fantastic time.The food and good weather make for a great couple of days,the winding streets make this city compelling to visit,to see a different side to it i would recommend going out of the way of tourists spots and pack comfy shoes!.

Weekly Wants

Klear Klutch @ ASOS £40

After being a fan of the transparent envelope clutches i fell in love with this bag after seeing it on other blogs,

Slightly pricey item but with the colour it has a lot of versatility to go with casual dressed down outfits or dressier outfits. Its a piece that will instantly add some character to a chic black outfit.

For a cheaper version make your own! below is a link i found to a DIY transparent clutch tutorial check it out!

New look Inspire Tartan Dress £22.99

This is a good transitional dress from summer to autumn as you can shove on a pair of tights and boots and a biker jacket or go bare legged with some flats. Tartan is something that will keep coming back in every A/W,i recently purchased these silver flats from topshop and i have every intention of pairing them with a black clutch and biker jacket when it gets chillier.




Topshop Silver Plimsolls £20
Eloquii $68 ( doesn't ship internationally :-( )

From the moment i saw this co-ord set on Bree Warrens instagram I've been in love with it,i have yet to find another plus size co-ord that i actually would want to wear,unfortunately they only ship to Canada so for the moment ill dream of myself wearing it.

What I'm loving

With a new season brings new trends and lots of new things,heres what i love at the moment.









Asos Curve £30

Personally smock dresses aren't my normal go to style but i was pulled tothis dress by the feminine dusky pink print.A good update to your spring wardrobe could be dressed up  and dressed down.
Buy it here










                                                                   Alice & You @ Asos Curve £22
Im a sucker for tie dye,and this brand have put a fun spin on the swing dress.I'd pair it with a pair of chelsea boots and black tights as i don't think this needs to be accessory laden,the dress speaks for itself.Size down for a better fit.


Alice & You @ Asos Curve £22


Another swing dress from this fashion forward brand but with a beautiful mix of greens and blues which makes it much more interesting than a bog standard grey.Great for casual days out and extra comfy!.












Vivienne Westwood Anglomania @Asos £61

I couldn't take my eyes off this clutch from the moment i saw it,the zesty prints and electric blues drew me in.This could instantly brighten up an old black dress or drab outfit.And at this price it couldn't be cheaper to own a piece of extraordinary design by the infamous brand.








Una Brennan @Boots £12.99

Not a piece you can wear (technically) but this day cream has saved my skin in the short time i have been fortunate to use it in my skin routine.I have very dry and sensitive skin which is prone to a lot of redness,this cream contains rose which is good for calming the skin down and over the space of 3 weeks i have noticed a big reduction in redness.Highly recommend this,and it smells amazing!.
