November Wishlist

How are we nearly halfway through November already? I seriously don't know where the time has gone and before we know it it'll be January the 1st SCARY! In all the craziness I've lost track of time, and barely had anytime for shopping but there have been a few things that have caught my eye which I thought I'd share with you today...

Missguided Worst Behaviour Clutch - £17.99
My one and only clutch bag broke a few months ago and I haven't found one that I like since to replace it, until I found this beauty on Missguided. I love these embossed slogan clutch bags that have been popping up all over the high street and this is one of my favourites that I've seen. I love the slogan 'Worst Behaviour' as it reminds me of one of my favourite songs from Drake's most recent album and this clutch would save me from putting my phone in my bra when I go out.

NARS Virtual Domination Cheek Palette - £45
I first saw this palette on Fleur De Force's blog and fell in love. I love Nars products, especially Laguna which is my favourite bronzer, so to have all of their most popular blushes in one palette would be heaven. This would make the perfect Christmas palette and I have a feeling it may sell out, so if you want one I'd order it from Space NK soon!

Topshop Lace Bodycon Dress - £60
With the party season coming up I am bound to need a little black dress at some point and this gorgeous dress from Topshop is perfect. While it may be little bit pricey at £60 I think it's worth the price as it is timeless and you will be able to wear it at almost any event for years and years, so definitely worth the investment.

River Island OOTD T-Shirt - £18
There isn't much to say about this t-shirt apart from the face that it is the perfect blogger t-shirt. Oh and it's pretty reasonable as well. I NEED IT.

What are you lusting after this month?

October Wishlist

September was a busy month for me and my personal life began to get in the way of blogging resulting in it being pushed to the side. But it is the first of October, the start of a new month and I intend to start as I mean to go on. I'm going to get back into my blogging routine of posting at least twice a week and to start off I thought I'd show you what I'm going to be lusting after this month!

WAH London Nail Polish in Im Real - £9

The queens of nail art over at WAH have finally released a line of nail art products to Boots and it was worth waiting for. The line consists of nail art pens, stick on nails and a gorgeous range of nail polish which includes the perfect nude nail polish: Im Real. 

Topshop Striped Pyjamas - £28
I am in love with these striped pyjamas despite the fact they resemble those worn by the little boy in the tear jerker that is The Boy In Striped Pyjamas. In fact I already own a pink and white striped Victoria's Secret Pyjama shirt but you can honestly never have too many pyjamas and these are too cute to resist!   

River Island Black Floral Skort - £28
Florals are not just for Spring and in the past few years dark Winter florals have become increasingly more popular on the highstreet as shown in this beautiful black floral skort from River Island. I'm not much for bright pretty florals but this skort has the right mix of neutrals and colour and the modern tailored skort makes it feel more grown up; perfect.

Catfish And The Bottlemen The Balcony - £9.41
While music is a huge part of my life I don't often talk about it a lot on my blog but I       had to feature this album on my wishlist. Earlier this month Catfish And The Bottlemen, a small Welsh indie/rock band, dropped their debut album and I have been listening to it on Spotify ever since. If you haven't heard of them I'd really recommend that you check them out!

Missguided Camel Coat - £59.99
I have explained multiple times before about my love for camel coats but I've stupidly never bought one. This autumn/winter will be different, I will buy a camel coat and I think this Missguided beauty may be the one.

What's on your wishlist this month?

August Wishlist

August is by far my favourite month of the year. Summer sunshine, bank holidays, foreign holidays and my birthday: August has got it all. As we are approaching the end of August we are also fast approaching my 17th birthday which has come very quickly if I do say so myself, so quickly in fact I haven't had time to post a August/birthday wishlist. 

With every 'wishlist' I do, they are things I would personally buy if I had an unlimited amount of money that I choose to share because you may find it interesting (I know I love reading other bloggers wishlists) and not a post about me asking my family and friends to buy me things. I just wanted to make that clear.

Anyway onto the wishlist...

Missguided Strappy Heeled Sandals - £24.99
For months on end I have been saying that I'm going to buy myself some black strappy heels but I still haven't gotten round to it. This pair from Missguided is perfect and reasonably priced as well so I have no excuse not to go order them right now! F Scott Fitzgerald Classics - £14.99 each
The Great Gatsby is my all time favourite book and I've lost track of how many times I've read it, but surprisingly I've never read any of F Scott Fitzgerald's other books. When I do read them though I have a feeling that I will fall in love them so it would be nice to have copies of them to read over and over again. These gorgeous penguin classic editions make the books even more special and will look gorgeous sitting in my room when I'm not reading them.

Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit - £24.50
Finding a good concealer is a very tricky job, especially when you have heavy bags under your eyes and acne all over your face like I do, as sometimes your average concealer just isn't good enough. I've heard lots of lovely things about the Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit in the past so it would be interesting to see how it fairs on my problematic skin.

Topshop Black and White Ripped Jamie Jeans - £42 each
The best thing about having a sister (apart from having a best friend for life) is being able to share their clothes. So when my sister bought the black Topshop ripped Jamie jeans who also got to wear them? Me! The only problem is with sharing clothes you eventually have to give them back but I've fallen so in love with these jeans I need to get myself a pair, not only in black but also in white of course!

ASOS Duster Coat - £60
Ever since I saw Kylie Jenner wearing this exact blue duster coat from ASOS I have wanted it, but of course as soon as Kylie Jenner wears something it sells out! After months of waiting it is finally back in stock on ASOS so I can buy it, over draw my lips and thus pretend I am Kylie.

June Wishlist

So as you may be able to see this months wishlist is very white. Yes, in order to get out of my black fashion rut I've gone to the complete opposite end of the colour spectrum. While white is not the most practical colour ever it will certainly keep you a lot cooler in the summer months than black while still allowing you to work to monochrome trend so I will definitely be embracing it as we enter the warmer months.

Choies White Sandals - £41.29
There is no denying that these sandals are exact dupes for the Alexander Wang Aline Sandals that were released last year. They are probably uncomfortable because of the heel and would therefore not be suitable for everyday use but if you want to look like a celebrity but for a fraction of the price then these are a great summer shoe.

Topshop Lace Skirt - £38
This skirt is so unbelievably pretty, delicate and girly. Lace is a timeless material and I can imagine this skirt being a summer wardrobe staple for years to come. While £38 initially seems a bit expensive, I think that you get what you pay for and this skirt is very detailed making it worth the money.

Frends Headphones - £120
Frends isn't a brand that I'm particularly familiar with because its not as highly publicized as brands such as Beats but Frends' designs beat Beats by miles. Frends is the first technology brand that predominantly designs headphones for women and the Layla rose gold headphones are a prime example of that.

Boohoo Boutique Trousers - £25
I'm loving the Boohoo Boutique range at the moment, the designs are so on point and look a lot more expensive than they actually are. I love the PVC detail around the top of these trousers as it really makes them stand out from similar trousers I've seen. I just hope that they look as good quality in person!

This time next week all of my exams will be over and to treat myself I will be going shopping, so expect to see a haul very soon featuring lots of white items. Ah I'm so excited to finally be able to relax without having to stress about revising! 

What are you looking forward to this month?

May Wishlist

I think I have an addiction; an addiction to shopping that is. Shopping is all I can think of since I put myself on a ban from going shopping until all of my exams are over, but since that is over a month away internet shopping is allowed right? I mean I only banned myself from going shopping...

Kate Moss Topshop Jumpsuit - £90
Ah how could I not feature an item from Kate Moss' latest Topshop collection? The queen of British modeling has come up trumps again with her new collection that includes this gorgeous silk jumpsuit.

Triangl Bikini - £47
With summer coming up again it's about time I started looking for some new bikinis to take on holiday with me and let's be honest who doesn't want a Triangl bikini? Those who don't want them already own them and it's because of their popularity that I'm quite surprised that no where on the high street has started selling dupes for them. Until then I  will either have to lust over this leather look bikini in my dreams or try and find a way to justify spending nearly £50 on a bikini.

Real Techniques Modern Natural Makeup Kit - £15

Sam and Nic Chapman have done it again with their brand Real Techniques but instead of brushes they have delved into the world of makeup. This month they released two gorgeous makeup kits that include everything you need to create a multitude of beautiful looks perfect for day or night.

22" Floral Penny Skateboard -£104.99

Okay so I want to jump on the bandwagon (or should I say skateboard) and buy a penny board. Over the summer me and my friends have created a bucket list of thing we'd like to do and this included learning to skateboard. Penny boards are the epitome of cool and hopefully if I do get one, hopefully some of that cool will transfer to me, though this is not likely as  I'm incredibly clumsy a girl can dream. 

Good luck to everyone doing their exams, I had my first exam today and while it wasn't horrific I'm not looking forward to the rest of my 6 exams. But than again who looks forward to exams!
Note - I've already had to pick a new winner for my giveaway because the first winner didn't reply to my emails, I've emailed the new winner but remember if you don't reply then I can't give you your prize! The winner is displayed on the widget so go check that and your emails to see if it is you!

April Wishlist

Introductions are hard, especially when you're having writers block so I'm just going to say here is my wishlist...

Topshop Cami Dress - £12
After watching Shirley and Sami's videos on how to style camis I fell in love with the grey cami dress that Shirley wore in her video and knew that I had to have it. It probably won't look as great on me as it looked on Shirley as I don't have her curves but I can just pretend can't I?  

Zara Metallic Heels - £ 59.99
I don't really have much to say about these heels apart from THEY'RE SO PRETTY! I'm quite a magpie when it comes to anything sparkly or shiny hence my addiction to these Zara beauties. I have no idea where or when I would wear them, all I know is that my tootsies would look great in them.

Barry M Gelly Nail Paints in Sugar Apple, Pink Lady and Huckleberry - £3.99
I already own quite a few of the Barry M Gelly Nail Paints and they are some of my favourite nail varnishes. I love Barry M as a brand for nail varnish because they are affordable and have a great range of colours, and their new spring releases are no exception.

John Green The Collection - £29.99
If you follow my Instagram you'll know that last month I finally got around to reading A Fault In Our Stars by John Green, after my friend Maddie lent it to me. It's such a beautiful book and one of my new favourites, and I really would recommend you reading it if you haven't already. So it only makes sense that I buy all of John Greens books and read them all right before they're all made into films right?

Sorry that this post has been a bit all over the place and my writing has been so poor but I promise that my next few posts will make up for it, especially since one of them will include a GIVEAWAY! Yes you heard right. I will soon be doing my first giveaway to celebrate reaching 500 followers on GFC and 400 on Bloglovin and to thank all of you for reading my little blog. So keep your eyes peeled...

March Wishlist

I know I say this practically every month but I cannot believe how fast this year is flying by. New York always seemed months away but now it's been and gone, and in 4 days time it will have been a month since I went. Before I know it I'll be doing my exams, turning 17 and learning to drive, scary! So before we loose anymore time, how about I show you what I want to buy this month...

Zara Mini City Bag With Zips - £39.99
I have seen so many miniature bags all over the high street recently and they are absolutely adorable! While mini bags may not be the most practical for me as I carry around my whole life in my handbag, they are great if you're going out for a meal or something where you only need to take your phone and your purse. I am in love with this one from Zara as it is very Celine-esque and I only own black bags so it would create a bit of variation in my wardrobe!

Beyonce No Angel Jumper - $65
I am always listening to Beyonce's newest album on repeat so when I saw celebrities popping up all over the place wearing these Beyonce jumpers emblazed with phrases from songs off her new album, I knew I had to get one. At $65 and a huge amount of shipping they work out being quite expensive for a jumper, but anything that makes me more Beyonce is worth paying a bit more for!

Canon EOS 600D - £389.99
I've been wanting to invest in a DSLR camera for quite a long time now, in the hope that I can improve the quality of my blog photos and my photography in general. After a lot of investigation into different cameras I've decided on the Canon EOS 600D which also happens to be a very popular camera for blogging and YouTubing. I just about have the money for it but I'm waiting for the right time to buy it because I want to get the best deal. 

Benefit Gimme Brow - £17.50
Benefit Gimme Brow doesn't just set your brows but makes them look thicker, which is definitely something I need with my very sparse eyebrows. I've seen so many great reviews of this online and with the Cara Delevingne brows becoming ever more popular I can see this becoming a cult beauty product amongst beauty bloggers and enthusiasts alike.

What will you be lusting after this month?

February Wishlist

Happy hump day! Congratulations you've made it halfway through the week, but sadly for me that means that my time in New York is nearly over as I'm travelling home tomorrow evening, arriving home early Friday morning. I can't tell you how my time has been in New York as this is a pre-written post but if all has gone to plan stay tuned for a New York diary type post next week. But something I can tell you about is what I've been lusting over this month...

Lipsy Kardashian Kollection White Midi Dress - £65
We all know I have a slight major obsession with the Kardashians, so of course I have to buy every product with the Kardashian brand name attached to it! I first saw this dress when there was a picture of Kim was wearing it on the cover of Look Magazine last week and she looked gorgeous! So when I found it while browsing through the Kardashians latest collection with Lipsy I knew that it was something I needed in my life. I know it won't look as good on me as it does on Kim as I don't have the curves but a girl can dream?

Topshop Croc Winged Bag - £50
I normally despise the colour orange as I only thought that looked good in a few places: nails, lips and Beyonce. But I can safely say that orange also looks good on bags, more specifically this gorgeous winged bag from Topshop. This bag is the perfect everyday size and has a long strap as well as a short strap, so you don't always have to carry it on the crook of your arm. 

Pull And Bear Heeled Sandals - £39.99 
I think my tastes are changing as I usually never even glance at a shoes that exposes any foot because feet are so weird and disgusting. But these heeled sandals are just so gorgeous, of course if I wore them right now my feet would get soaking wet because of the rain but they would be perfect for the spring/summer. 

Make Up Forever Full Cover Concealer - £22.95
I have heard so many good things about this concealer but sadly Make Up Forever isn't a readily available brand in the UK, so I'm going to try pick this up this week in Sephora. The Make Up Forever Full Cover Concealer is as the name suggests a full coverage concealer, which is what I need in order to cover my bad skin and imperfections, so I'm really excited to try this product!

Smashbox Full Exposure Eyeshadow Palette - £36
Since the release of the palette I've heard good things about this palette on practically every beauty blog/youtube channel. The Smashbox Full Exposure Palette has 7 shimmery shades and  7 matte shades in very natural and wearable everyday shades, think naked palette but better because it has an equal balance of matte and shimmery shades. It also comes with a mascara and a double ended eyeshadow brush all for £36 making it the perfect neutral palette.

Have a lovely rest of week!

January Wishlist

It's less than a month till I go to New York so theoretically this wishlist should be the things I want to buy to take to New York, but guess what? It's not! It's just your average wishlist of the things that I want and not necessarily the things I need but yolo (Did I really just write yolo in a blog post? Cringe)!

Missguided Blazer Dress - £34.99
Missguided is an amazing place to buy dresses online as they literally have a style to suit everyone in a wide variety of colours and for reasonable prices. So as I was casually browsing through the dresses I saw this beautiful white blazer dress and fell in love. I love this dress as I think it's really unique and the sort of thing you'd spot a celebrity wearing to an event. It may be a little daring for some with it's plunging neckline but if your looking for a dress that'll may you feel sexy and sophisticated then this is one for you!

Pull and Bear Jeans - £25.99

It may come to a surprise to you that I don't own any denim jeans. Don't get me wrong I've always wanted a nice pair but I've never found the right pair until now! These distressed jeans from Pull and Bear are the right colour and are in between skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans in style. What's even better is that they're a lot cheaper than Topshop or American Apparel  jeans as they're £25.99, which to me is a very reasonable price.

Tanya Burr Lips and Nails
For those of you who do not know Tanya Burr is a beautiful makeup artist, blogger and youtuber, and at the end of this month she is releasing her very own collection of nail varnish and lip glosses. Knowing Tanya, the collection will be full of wearable and cute 
shades that'll suit almost everybody and I'm sure the formulas will be great. The collection will include 12 lip glosses and 10 nail varnishes and will be released on the 30th January on Feel Unique.

Fujifilm Instax Share Smartphone Printer

I am obsessed with polaroids and polaroid cameras but I've never bought myself one because I'm not the most photogenic of people so I have to take a lot of pictures before I get a nice one. So when Fujifilm announced last week that they were releasing a smartphone Polaroid printer I was so excited! The printer allows you to wirelessly print pictures off your smartphone via an app, this means you can print off any picture you like at any time and also allows you to edit your photos with filters. It's such a great idea and I'll definitely be saving up for one when they're released in April.

Missguided PVC Baby Blue Midi Skirt - £19.99
I love this skirt and I just think that it's adorable! Normally I'm quite scared of materials such as PVC because I don't want people to mistake me for a prostitute, but the baby blue makes the PVC seem a lot less scary and more innocent. I think this skirt would look gorgeous for spring paired with a pastel blue crop top, a long coat and some heels a la Kim K style!

What things are on your wishlist this month?

Christmas Wishlist/ Gift Guide

It's two weeks today till Christmas so I hope you've all written your Christmas lists and sent them to Father Christmas! If not or your in despair about what to buy your gal pals for Christmas then you may find this post as some much needed inspiration! 

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette - £37

Yes the worlds most hyped up neutrals palette has returned for a third time in the form of the Naked 3 palette. The Naked 3 palette, unlike 1 and 2, is very pink based hense the beautiful rose gold packaging. I don't own the first two palettes, I'm planning to buy them when I go to New York, but I can't wait until February for this palette as all year I've been looking for the perfect pink toned eyeshadows. The palette is being released on the 16th of Decemeber so just in time for Christmas but if you want one you may have to preorder one from Look Fantastic as I have a feeling they're going to sell out very quickly!

Baz Luhrmann Epic Romances Box Set - £8.50
Personally I think that DVD's are a stocking essential and a box set is always a great gift for a film and TV lover like myself. This year I've asked for the Epic Romances box set (that includes Romeo and Juliet, Moulin Rouge and Australia) and also another box set that includes Clueless and Mean Girls. These are some of my all time favourite films but for some reason I don't own them on DVD, but if I get them for Christmas I know what I'll be watching during my break for Sixth Form!

River Island Black Pleat Front Halter Neck Top - £28 and Black Draped Tulip Mini Skirt - £25
Oh my gosh I am so in love with this black crop top and skirt combo from River Island! I love the shape and cut of both the skirt and the top, and they can be styled separately or together. Co-ordinaries are a great idea if you've got lots of parties over the holiday season as you can mix and match without having to buy 3 different outfits! Topshop Mini Nail Polish - £5

HOW CUTE IS THIS MINI NAIL VARNISH?! Seriously this thing is amazing as it's even a Christmas tree decoration! Imagine coming downstairs on Christmas morning and seeing this cutie hanging on the tree? Or if that's not your thing it would be a great idea as a secret Santa present because they come in loads of different sparkly colours to suit any nail polish lover.

ASOS iPad Case - £15

Okay so I don't have an iPad but if I did I'd totally buy this case if I did! It doesn't provide a lot of protection but if your just looking for a simple clip on case then ASOS have loads of cases in different patterns. If you don't have an iPad like myself then they also do iPhone cases and things all at reason prices and a great stocking filler.

I mean of course there are other things that I would like for Christmas such as Leonardo DiCaprio or some other gorgeous guy wrapped up in a big gold bow, but sadly we all know that's never going to happen! So in the meantime I'm just thankful for what I've already got such as loving and caring family, friends and readers such as yourself. Thank you.

November Wishlist

Finally my student card has come after a couple of months of waiting and it getting lost in the post. What does that have to do with anything? I hear you ask, well my friend I can now go shopping and feel slightly less guilty about spending my money if I get discount. Oh yes (be jealous) as this is what I'm going to buy:

Topshop Check A-Line Skirt - £42

I saw this skirt in Topshop in Birmingham and fell in love! I think it's a cross between Cher in Clueless and a biker, and it's very different to a lot of other tartan skirts I've seen about. Okay £42 is quite expensive but it's so pretty, I need it!

New Look Black Ankle Boots - £27.99

I've seen so many expensive black boots with this 'workman' sole on blogs and in the shops all around the £70-£80 price mark, so was quite shocked to see these beauties on the New Look website for £27.99. In the past I've bought loads of shoes from New Look and they've always been great value for money so if that's anything to go buy these would definetly last you through the cold winter months.

River Island Leather Look Trousers - £35

I've always wanted a pair of leather look trousers but I've never found a pair I liked or if I have they've always been really expensive, but these are perfect. I saw these on Tar Mar and they looked amazing on her which just made me want them even more!

Real Techniques Sam's Picks Set - £29.99

Real Techniques is by far my favourite brand for makeup brushes and I currently own the Core Collection set and the Starter Set. The newest set that Real Techniques are launching is full of Samatha Chapman's favourite brushes, the set includes the multi task brush, the buffing brush, essential crease brush, setting brush, pointed foundation brush and the fine liner brush. The set is being released this month.

Topshop Lip Crayon in Suspect - £7
I've been looking for the perfect dark lipstick all month, I started looking at Mac lipsticks (my favourite brand for lipsticks) but I just could find the right colour and I wasn't going to spend £15 if I wasn't in love with the shade. Topshop's Lip Crayon in Suspect is the perfect dark burgendy lipstick that is each to apply because it's in the shape of a crayon (obz haha) and for £7 what's not to love?

I hoped you liked this post and what I'm hoping to buy this month. Oh and for those of you wondering the shopping ban didn't work out as you probably guessed, I'm sorry okay...

Eleanor xx

October Wishlist

How are we halfway through October already? Before we know it, it'll be November and then December and then Christmas! HOW IS IT NEARLY CHRISTMAS? IT'S ONLY JUST BEEN MY BIRTHDAY?!...

Mind. Blown.

Bleach DIY Dip Dye Kit - £7 and Bleach Super Cool Colour Rosé - £5
I've always secretly wanted to dye my hair candyfloss pink but it's never really been achievable without going to a salon, but now my dreams can become a reality as from this month you can buy home hair dye kits and colours from the colour experts Bleach London. This will certainly make dying your hair at home easier and cheaper than ever. I'm not quite sure I'll have the confidence to dye my whole head pink at first so I think I'll use their Dip Dye Kit and see how it goes before I risk looking like Frenchy from Grease! 

Topshop Skeleton All-In-One - £32
This may just look like a Halloween costume to the untrained eye but in reality it is much, much more. This beautiful skeleton all in one is possibly one of the coolest things I've ever seen, I mean common it looks like an x-ray! Yes, it may show every lump and bump but who cares it's Halloween!

River Island Black Satin Bite T-shirt - £20
Now does this t-shirt look extremely similar to those made by Givenchy like last year, you know the one's seen on celebs such as Kanye West and Liv Tyler? There is no denying that this is a good dupe if you don't have the dollar for the real thing, plus it's readily available on the high street so you don't have to wait months to get something similar sent from a Chinese website, what more could you ask for?

The Great Gatsby DVD - £10
Okay, so this doesn't actually come out until November 11th but I couldn't resist including it as we all know how I love a lot a bit of Leo. Don't worry though as you can pre-order it off Amazon and get Gatsby as soon as possible. Enough said.

Missguided Floppy Hat - £14.99
I have been searching for the perfect floppy hat for weeks now in my quest to be the bloggers answer to Audrey Hepburn. Okay, that will never happen but a girl can dream! (On another note, is it just me but the model in the picture is pulling a very unusual facial expression?)

Once again I apologize for talking about The Great Gatsby and Leonardo DiCaprio #sorrynotsorry
