New In: House of Holland x New Era Snapback

By May 31, 2014 My Style

Përshëndetje! That’s hello in Albanian… because I’m obviously fluent in the language, and definitely didn’t use Google translate… Anyway, today’s post is about a beauty of a bargain I recently purchased as a birthday present, and if you haven’t already heard me go on about it on Twitter and Instagram, now’s your chance to find out what I’m talking about…

house of holland x new era snapback asoshouse of holland x new era snapback asoshouse of holland x new era snapback asosHOUSE OF HOLLAND X NEW ERA CLOUD PRINT SNAPBACK (ASOS – SOLD OUT) + EXTREMELY WEIRD TONGUE SMILE

Yes… I bought a snapback… or what some people might call, a ‘chav hat’ (sorry snapback lovers). I was browsing ASOS (again…) and when searching ‘sequin’, I found House of Holland… which then led me to this beauty. It was £17.50, so with my birthday code and a voucher from Christmas (I’m the worst voucher spender, ever), it seemed wrong not to pop it immediately in my basket and press that ‘Purchase Now’ button. In total it came to around £5.00 and I’m OBSESSED. I love how it is the same print as the catwalk (see below), and the fact it is part of the same collection (I NOW OWN A PIECE… HOW COOL?!) and and and has the awesome embroidery on the front. It fits well too! Not too tight and not too loose, due to the change-y clip-y thing-y at the back. I’m just so glad I got it!

I think if you style it with the right pieces, and you definitely wear your hair down, it will look great! I’ve been wearing it with quite sporty pieces and nice jackets, but I think in the summer a plain simple dress and wide strapped sandals will make it all tie in. Like I have done in these pictures, I think matching similar prints like tie-dye will also look awesome, and this cheap as chips jumble sale top now has a perfect space in ma’ wardrobe!

What I’d Wear It With: Spotty Dungarees, Elephant Top (worn above), Pink Coat & Nike Free TR Fit Trainers

A-Z Fashion Guide: Basque

By May 29, 2014 A-Z Fashion

Long time no see my little friend, A-Z Fashion Guide? Sorry, I’ve been a busy bee with other posts but it’s back! You seemed to like this series (I think…. :-/…), so I’m carrying it on! This is the 1st part of the ‘B’ section, so I guess we’ll just crack on, non?

a-z fashion guide basque 1

A ‘Basque’ is basically the proper name for a ‘Peplum’. It means an additional piece of fabric almost like a mini skirt, which has been added to a dress, jacket or blouse. Some people get confused between it and a ‘drop waist’ but usually a ‘Basque’ will be completely separate (still joined) and the dress will ‘continue’ under the added ‘Peplum’. The origin of the word ‘Basque’ comes from France, and the actual ‘Basque’ on a skirt also comes from France, and the ‘Basque’ people were the first people to wear the style in the Victorian times. In the era of the Victorians, it was more like a fitted piece of clothing which waistline was past the hips.

This style was most commonly used in lingerie around that time in things like corsets, but now in more modern times it is most commonly found on dresses. The ‘Basque’ or ‘Peplum’ is a flattering shape as it sort of conceals part of your torso and waist which makes your top half look a lot longer and slimmer. I’m not the biggest fan of this style but I think the style will always be popular as it does make for a nice silhouette.

a-z fashion guide basque 2The best example of the ‘Basque’ I can find being used by a designer is from the Chanel A/W 2011 collection. It’s not what I call the nicest of collections, but it’s definitely a good representation of the style. In the collection, there is the classic Chanel jacket, with an added ‘Peplum’, decorative embellishments (more on Applique here!), and bright pops of colour (sorry, that phrase has to get in a post somewhere). Nice, just not my taste. I much prefer the SS14 Haute Couture collection… *love heart eyes emoji*

a-z fashion guide basque 3RIVER ISLAND DRESS//MISS SELFRIDGE TOP//ASOS DRESS

These are three pieces that I love featuring the ‘Basque’ style. I love how the River Island Dress has the 3D flowers, and the bright colours are just gorgeous. The added ‘Basque’ isn’t too obvious either, it makes the whole piece look a lot more structured… shame it’s a tad on the pricey side though… must definitely be worth it! Let’s talk about the top though… ohh yes! I’m not sure you can really have a ‘drop hem’ crop top, so I’m counting this. The print is dreamy, the style is dreamy, ohh just too much dreamy-ness! But, that white dress… YES! I love the cami style scuba neck, and the length… plus the fabric is embossed so it adds that whole extra dimension of sophistication. It’s not something I would usually go for, but I LOVE it! Love love love… well I love all 3 pieces and I wish I owned them all!

ASOS Saved Items Wishlist #1

By May 26, 2014 Wishlist

‘I have an addiction to ASOS, and I need to see somebody about it.’ – That’s what I answered to a question a week or so ago, and it’s 100% true. When I’m having a break from my work, I’ll go on their site and have a look. It doesn’t really help that they have their 75% off sale on ALL. YEAR. ROUND. Sadness though… you now have to spend £15 to get the free delivery… so I spent my birthday voucher on getting ASOS Premiere… oh well, free express delivery for a whole year! 😀 I’ve never really seen a post like this, so I’ve decided to make it a monthly thing. Here is my ‘ASOS Saved Items Wishlist’ number one! (Just in case you’re wondering, the ‘Saved Items’ feature on the site is so helpful! This is all the stuff in it currently!)

asos saved items wishlist pool sliders floral garlands

CLICK ON THE LOVE HEART TO VIEW EACH ITEM

Miista Sandals: I’ve been a big fan of Miista for ages now, and these are just plain and simply gorgeous. I never thought I would like the ‘beach slipper’ trend, but I’m obsessed now. Officially converted! These are divine, and they would look awesome by the pool… the print and colour combination… oh so nice! My feet are very slim, so these look like they would be quite comfortable too, and look awesome with my *wait for it* ASOS Dungarees. 

Flower Hairband: If you’ve been reading this little blog for a while now, you will know that I’m addicted to floral hairbands, and this one needs to be mine. I know it’s a recent drop (I search ‘flower hair’ pretty much every time I’m on the site), and it’s in lots of different colours, so if you don’t like lilac, don’t worry! I’m so so tempted by this!

asos saved items wishlist scuba skirts long cardigans

Floral Scuba Skirt: I’m on the hunt for a full midi or a scuba skirt, in either polka dots or another really awesome print, so when this one popped up on my screen, I clicked dat’ Save for Later button! I think the colour is amazing, and the structure… and the pockets. One of the main reasons I save items for later is because then you can check back and see if it’s gone in the sale, and I blimming well hope this beauty does!

Pom Pom Cardigan: Don’t need it, it’s summer, but LOOK AT IT. SO NICE! I love how there are 3 different shades of pink, I love the texture, and the length, and I love how versatile it would be. After receiving my pink coat from ARK, I now need a cardigan version too, and this is at the very very top of my wishlist. *Prays to the ASOS goddess that it goes into the sale at less than £25*

asos saved items wishlist holographic pool sliders daisy duck top

Holographic Sandals: Another pair of ‘beach slippers’! These are a lot cheaper than the Miista ones, and still as gorgeous. I think they are totally up my street! I’ve been going for the sort of ‘model off duty’ vibe recently, with an army style jacket, my *wait* ASOS (HAAAA) Dungarees, and my *hold on, hold on* ASOS (AHAHHA) Soldier Heels, and I feel like these would be a much nicer version for when my feet want a nice break. I did just get some neon yellow sandals for my birthday… so I must resist!

Daisy Duck Crop Top: Random top alert! Love it though, it’s got that Lazy Oaf-esque feel to it, and it has glitter on it, so what more could you want?! I could wear this in so many different ways as well, and I just love the pink. I also love the skirt it’s paired with… hmm *hunts it down*

asos saved items wishlist beach tops

Beach Top: I’m awaiting the arrival of a new bikini from New Look, and this top would look awesome paired with it. The geometric patterns in the material adds that something different, and will avoid me getting burnt when I’m having a drink at the beach (I keep thinking of the beach near us and I cannot wait until we can go. I love it so much!).

Rich Beach Top: Another beach related item, haha! I really don’t know why I like this top so much… I just do! I think it’s the fact it’s quite in your face, but it’s still quite casual. I’m not sure how I would work it but I reckon I could find a way. What d’ya think? Leave a comment if you like!

That’s it! Not much… *giggles* I think I should probably be paid for how much I promote ASOS… they follow me on Twitter so why haven’t they thanked me?! 😉 What have you been loving from ASOS recently? Have you ordered anything? Let me know!

Watch out for a blog post soon featuring a recent purchase from *hold on, brace yourself* ASOS… 1 clue… HOUSE. OF. HOLLAND.

Blogging Studio Tour + Video

By May 21, 2014 DIY & Lifestyle, My Style

Hello everyone, WOW 2nd post of the day (first one is here)! If you have been following me on Twitter/Instagram, you won’t know that my oldest brother recently moved out, leaving the perfect of rooms for me to have a blog studio! I know it might sound crazy to have a room just for blogging, but I promise I don’t just blog in it haha! This post is going to show you round it and a few bits and pieces that I have bought recently! I also made a YouTube video, just to see it in more detail!

Backdrop Decor & Bed Area: This is one of the main parts of the room I wanted to focus on. Now I have my soft boxes, I want to start doing more YouTube videos as an added extra, so having a good backdrop space was key. There’s a sort of trough against the wall, which is a perfect space for putting bits and pieces, and of course I had to put some of my favourite shoes, magazines and accessories. I think it looks really colourful but definitely still portrays the whole ‘blogging room’ feel.

Backdrop Wall: When I saw this print, I was instantly drawn in by it. It has such a nice, fresh, colourful and illustrative feel to it, and it was only 5 euros. It’s the perfect size, and compliments my magazine clippings really well. I knew I had to pop these frames up, and they only cost about 6 euros for all three. I would definitely recommend them as they are cheap as chips and aren’t too shiny so they don’t glare in bright lights – one of the reasons I love them so much for my backdrop! 

blogging studio tour youtube video COLOURFUL JARS (JUMBLE SALE)//QUOTE WOODBLOCK//TV & SKY BOX

TV Shelf: Seeing as the room is still being used as a spare bedroom, the TV is staying where it was before. I added a cute little decoration which I stole from Mama Posh (she still hasn’t realised… shhh!), and placed my little quote wood block there too. It just makes the shelf a bit less boring and takes the ugliness away from the old clunky Sky box.

Blogging Zone: This is obviously where the magic happens… or where the blogging happens. I switched my brother’s old clunky office chair, for this super duper cheap IKEA chair… less than 10 euros! Don’t forget the blogger essential… lace trim style plant pot! I’ve had this canvas for a while now, it used to be in our living room… slightly out of place, but now it looks perfect! I also love the cute reminder of the Company Blog Awards! It reminds me of why I love blogging so much 🙂 Shame there is no iMac really… one day… one day! The good thing about this area though is that it can be used as a second backdrop! Bonus points!

Blogging Whiteboard: I was going to have to buy a new one of these whiteboards, but my brother was kind enough to leave his for me. Although I use Google Docs to keep my blog schedule updated, this will be super helpful. I can just look up at it and know exactly what I need to do next. I simply taped some of this IKEA ribbon into a grid, and wrote in the spaces! Super easy 🙂 Sneaky peak of my… old schedule haha 😉 I love how the whiteboard pens match the ribbon too… cute details!

Samples Rail: I hope I don’t come across like I am showing off, but I do get sent things as gifts for my blog from time to time (..the things with the * by them..), so having a place to keep track of new pieces is really handy as a blogger. I was originally going to get some hooks, but this little rail is super handy! It has spaces to hang clothes, as well as a space to put small bits and bobs. I love the colour too! They do it in white as well if you’re wondering! The one thing I would say is that it doesn’t come with wheels! It’s super cute though and I can look at all the pretty things on it easily enough 🙂

blogging studio tour youtube video blogging studio tour youtube video SOFT BOXES (EBAY)//DR MARTENS (MASTERSHOE)*//LACK SIDE TABLE (IKEA)

Photography: As I’ve already mentioned, I recently invested in some soft boxes. One of my next blog posts will explain why, but I thought I’d show them here too! They’ve been so good so far, and I’m super happy I got them now! I don’t need more clothes… so these sorted that out! Haha! Along with my lights, I picked up one of the IKEA side tables. I never knew they did matte versions, so I chose the blue one. It’s perfect for taking pictures of products and makes it look so sleek and professional. I also got some IKEA wrapping paper just in-case I want to swap the blue for a cute print instead. I love the way it looks and I am extremely happy with the colour choice… even after my little panic before paying!

So that’s it! That’s my blogging room! As I love blogging, I love using it and having the lights up makes me feel extra cool! Haha 🙂 It also makes my bedroom feel much more relaxing than it used to because now it can be my ‘chill room’. What do you think of it? What would you put in your blog room? Speaking of blogging, the Company Style Blogger Awards voting end on May 23rd! WHAT?! It would be amazing if you could click here and vote for me on Tab 8! Thank you so much!

Bye Bra ‘Discusses’ My Breasts

By May 21, 2014 General

Dear Bye Bra,

The reason I have yet to reply to your first email about sampling the Bye Bra breast lift tape, is because…

1 – I am in no way interested in reviewing a breast lift tape.
2 – I am never ever going to show my ‘breasticles’ on this blog… EVER.
3 – I wouldn’t buy breast lift tape anyway, so why would I want to review it on my blog?

Oh wait, hang on! Silly me, almost forgot… I’m 14, and I have nothing going on in the breast department… FLAT. AS. A. WALL.

I’m glad you like my blog, but next time, I would recommend that you check the bloggers you are emailing instead of putting ‘Dear owner of [insert URL]’ and wasting my time (…I hope ‘the board meeting which you discussed my blog in’ went well…), and embarrassing yourself.

Thanks, but definitely NO THANKS,
Bye Bye Bra…

Music Genre Inspired Lookbook*

By May 15, 2014 Beauty, My Style

A while ago now, I decided that I didn’t want to do make-up or beauty related things on this blog, and I still don’t want too. I don’t enjoy writing about it and to be quite honest, the posts I did write, weren’t exactly proving popular, but (there’s always a but), when a cute perfume brand called Music To My Nose got in touch with me, I was intrigued. A little light bulb went off, and I broke the rule, but I hope you like my idea none the less 😉 Oh and do excuse the slightly delirious faces… who knew the wind could make me look so odd?!

music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my nosemusic genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my noseWhat I Wore: Indie’ Perfume (Music To My Nose)*, Over-sized Sheer Tile Print Blouse (Jumble Sale), Polka Dot Dungarees £8.00 (ASOS), Cross Necklace (The Little Deer)*, Floppy Hat (Jumble Sale) & Black Jelly Sandals (Supermarket)

‘Indie’ is a slightly floral, fresh, light and calming scent. I would say it’s one of my favourites which I received. It’s a perfect everyday perfume, slightly on the darker side, but it is just heavenly. It’s notes are: Juicy Pineapple, Jasmine, Bergamot & Coconut. I think the Pineapple makes this sent that tiny bit more sweet, and the Jasmine adds the freshness.

The outfit I chose is actually one I have worn quite a few times recently! It’s super comfortable, but it has that slight unique twist to it, with the bold print clash and the vibrant colours. To me ‘Indie’ is casual, but with a vintage vibe, and I hope I have portrayed that well. I love my floppy hat too, it fits SO well (it feels like somebody molded it for my very own head), and it was an absolute bargain.

music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my noseWhat I Wore: ‘On Tour’ Perfume (Music To My Nose)*, Faux Leather Biker Jacket (ARK Clothing)*, Smiley Face Top (Hero & Cape)*, Printed Midi Skirt (Jumble Sale), Floral Garland (Claire’s)* & Black Jelly Sandals (Supermarket)

‘On Tour’ is full, bright, fruity and a lot stronger than I had expected. The scent’s notes are Fresh Strawberry & Cream. To me, that doesn’t exactly come across. It smells a lot more like sweets than strawberries, but I can just about find the vanilla in there somewhere. I would say this is quite a summery scent, and definitely not an everyday wear. Maybe you could wear it at a festival?

I wanted the whole outfit to be bright but with a little bit of edge (after all, who isn’t edgy when they’re ‘on tour’?). The biker jacket pulls it all together, with the yellow smiley top (LOVE this, I’ve been wearing it a lot with my dungarees), skirt and floral garland making it fun! This skirt was an absolute steal…. *builds up anticipation* It was… 50 CENTS! LIKE, WHAT?! It’s so soft, bright and up ma’ street. I lurrrrve it.

music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my nose music genre inspired lookbook music to my noseWhat I Wore:Biggest Fan’ Perfume (Music To My Nose)*, Stripey Crochet Cropped Jumper (Jumble Sale), Floaty Buckle Strap Dress (Matalan), Floral Garland (ASOS) & Blue Jelly Sandals (Sun Jellies)*

‘Biggest Fan’ is fruity, but not too overpowering like ‘On Tour’. It’s light, and perfect for summer. A great everyday perfume if you like fruity scents. The notes are Ripe Mango & Juicy Peaches It’s at a real tie with ‘Indie’ for my favourite scent!

For the outfit, I made sure it included a floaty item (not sure why…), and this Matalan dress definitely fits the bill! I do think I should have worn shorts though… way too short for me now! Oops! I love the top underneath though! It’s very cropped, but I think in the summer with a bikini underneath it will be fine! The colours are so vibrant in it, and match my jelly shoes perfectly! To make the outfit a bit more me, I of course added a hair accessory. This is one of my favourites, from ASOS… obviously!

music genre inspired lookbook music to my noseIndie//Pop//On Tour//Biggest Fan//Rhythm//Stage Dive
music genre inspired lookbook music to my noseCombo #1: Indie + Pop (Purse (Jumble Sale) & Infared Lipstick (Topshop))

One of the things Music To My Nose promotes, is layering perfumes. I’d never thought about it before, but now I can do it easily! I tested out some combos, and these are my favourite I found! Mixing ‘Indie’ & ‘Pop’, gives you that classic scent that you’d find on your friend’s mum… you know that stereotypical mum scent? I know it sounds weird, and it might only be me, but these on top of each other, smell just like that! It’s a simple, fresh and comfortable mixture to wear. Very pleasant!

music genre inspired lookbook music to my noseCombo #2: Stage Dive + On Tour

I. am. not. kidding. This combination smells just like a strawberry and chocolate crepe. ‘Stage Dive’ is actually a chocolate scent, so mixing the two, makes sense, right?! If you want to smell edible, GET THESE TWO SCENTS! Weirdly, the strawberry in ‘On Tour’ comes out more when you mix the two… maybe that was purposeful? It’s like perfume magic.

music genre inspired lookbook music to my noseCombo #3: Biggest Fan + Rhythm

If you’re thinking of toning down one of these scents, then just add them together! Some how the scent gets more subtle, and it’s just a really light and airy fragrance. I could definitely imagine wearing it to the beach… If only these were waterproof so it would still be there after a quick dip… hmm… This combination is definitely going to be a beach bag essential!

I really hope you liked this post! I know it was slightly long, but I think Look books can be such a nice way to gain style inspiration, or just find separate pieces which you fancy the look of! 🙂 My next post will be a blog studio tour.. so stay tuned 😉 If you really liked it, please don’t forget to vote for me as Best Teen Style Blog!

First of all, thank you SO much if you nominated my blog in the Company Magazine Blog Awards because… *drum roll* we’ve been shortlisted for the 2nd year! It would be awesome if you could click here to vote for me! I’m on Tab 8 under Best Teen Style Blog 😀 Another exciting thing is that my soft boxes finally arrived!

You may remember at the beginning of this year, I did a resolution post (read it here), where I said I wanted to a product collaboration with a brand. Well, let’s move down the line, 5 months later, and I’ve gone and done just that! The amazing people at Makie, a 3D printed toy brand from London, gave me and two other bloggers the chance to create our own outfit and have it sold on their shop. How cool?! It’s only small but I am absolutely thrilled to have been part of the project. I feel giddy with pride!

I love promoting innovative brands, and Makie is certainly one of them. 3D printing is something that will be a common household utility in the future, and all the dolls and accessories (excluding the outfits of course) are all printed from a 3D printer. I think it’s amazing! You can make your doll look like you, or whatever you want it to look like. They sell lots of different accessories, and now of course, the Teen Couture collection. 2 of my lovely blogging pals, Mia and Lexi, also have outfits which you should check out!

makie teen couture collection tolly dolly posh makie teen couture collection tolly dolly poshINCLUDED IN THE OUTFIT: TOP, SKIRT, PETTICOAT, YELLOW SHOES & FLOWER CROWN

As you know, I LOVE prints, so my design of course had to incorporate some! I decided on a full panel skirt with an additional petticoat, a yellow high neck, some winged high tops, and of course a floral crown! The prints are inspired by my current loves, including pineapples… obsessed with pineapples!  I also love yellow, so it seemed to right to have a matching top and shoes! I think the outfit really suits my personality and I hope other young girls like it too… or boys of course! It’s called ‘Posh Prints-ess’, because… well… prints!

makie teen couture collection tolly dolly poshmakie teen couture collection tolly dolly poshI’m going to treasure this forever. Although it is only a small piece, I would like to say it would be worth a lot in the future… perhaps? It’s my first ever product collaboration…. the first ever ‘X Tolly Dolly Posh’ design. I really hope you go ahead and treat yourself to one. Even if you don’t have a Makie doll, you could just keep it wrapped up and make yourself millions in the future… jokes, but you know what I mean! I wouldn’t be able to have these opportunities without your support, so thank you, I’m blessed 🙂 I really do hope you like it!

(This is not a sponsored post. Makie sent me the doll and outfit as a gift. I do not make any profit from the outfit being sold, currently. Read my full PR disclaimer here)

My Style: Blue Blue Pretty Pleats*

By May 4, 2014 My Style

Before I start this new My Style OOTD, I would just like to say how happy I am with my blog right now. I feel very excited about the content I am pushing out and what I have to come. The only thing I would say is that I would love if you guys could give some more feedback! I’d love to know if you enjoy my recent posts as much as I do! It would mean a lot. Thank you guys! Love you all 🙂 Exciting news too… I just purchased some soft box lights for YouTube and taking other kinds of images *gulps* 😀

my style ootd fashion blog sugarhill boutique rings and tings my style ootd fashion blog sugarhill boutique rings and tings my style ootd fashion blog sugarhill boutique rings and tings What I Wore: Pretty Pleat Blouse (Sugarhill Boutique)*, Pastel Blue Petticoat Tutu £20.00 (Marks & Spencer), SOLDIER Heels (ASOS), Squared Round Sunglasses (Topshop – Sold Out), Gold Camera Necklace (Gift – Don’t know where from!) & Wingspan Bird Ring £5.50 (Rings & Tings)*

As soon as this gorgeous (and sheer – the reason for the vest…) blouse from Sugarhill Boutique arrived, I knew I had to pair it with a light blue skirt. Originally I was going to opt for my ASOS pleated midi skirt, but it was a bit crinkled and I was in a hurry, so I threw on my tutu instead, and I am glad I did! To be honest, this outfit is slightly out of my comfort zone in a way… it’s very floaty but I think the way I accessorised it, makes it more me and a bit more funk-ay! The blouse isn’t just how it seems though… it has other secrets which I will mention later on 😉 Ooh ooh, I’m wearing my hair how I used to ages and ages ago! I went through a phase of wearing it like this every single day and I’m falling back in love with it!

my style ootd fashion blog sugarhill boutique rings and tings my style ootd fashion blog sugarhill boutique rings and tings I TOLD YOU IT HAD SECRETS! HOW GORGEOUS?!
It’s beautiful! I didn’t even realise it was pleated on the back until I took it out the packet. I think it just makes it even more amazing. It looks like a normal sheer blouse from the front (with a cute little heart pocket and matching top button), but then BOOM! A pleated back! As you’ll probably know from the amount of times I have said, I’m on a blouse high, and this is such a gorgeous addition. It could be worn in so many different ways, even more casually as the back really does most of the talking. I think when the weather perks up a bit more (saying that, it was beautiful today), I will have to invest in a bandeau because my vest really doesn’t make it look particularly amazing… 😉 Unfortunately I cannot wear a ‘sex-ay’ bra because um…. yup… *cries with laughter*

Let’s talk accessories shall we? My beautiful sister (who I can now officially ‘plug’ because she has her own blog – baby/mummy related) got me this little gold necklace a while back as a present, and I think it is so cute because it has a little camera on (i.e a refrence to my blawg), and it looks adorable with the gold heart button! This outfit was probably one of the first times I have mixed jewellery colours too! I’ve always thought that gold and silver would look funny together, but I think my ring actually compliments the whole look!

I ordered these awesome (and now sold out) Topshop sunglasses along with two other things (haul coming soon!), after a wish I wished for (ha) got actioned on Crowdwish! If you don’t know what I am talking about, Crowdwish is a site where you can post wishes/vote for wishes, and the ones which get the most votes, will be actioned! I’ve so far got a £30 Topshop voucher, and one of my own personal wishes actioned! Pretty cool huh? You can literally wish for anything as long as you think other people will vote for it too… so don’t go wishing for your brother’s girlfriend’s aunty’s granddad’s godmother to be able to fly… I wish you good luck on that one! 😉 The sunglasses remind me of the Jeremy Scott wing ones, so I’m really chuffed that I ordered them!

The other day I slipped on my lovely ASOS SOLDIER heels to find out that I no longer fit in them… so I thought. I then realised that I had left the innersoles in them! *slaps forehead* I’ve been wearing them non-stop this past week, and I simply adore them. ASOS shoes are looking good at the moment! I believe these are no longer available, but if you’re wondering just in-case, they’re really comfortable and the chunkiness will toughen up any outfit! Oh and can we admire those gorgeous flowers? Such a beautiful array of colours!

That’s it for me folks! See ya’ soooooon! Only 5 days until the Company Magazine Style Blogger Awards shortlist comes around… let’s all keep our fingers crossed that TDPFashion makes it for the 2nd year in a row *crosses fingers, toes and any other ‘crossable’ body part* 😉

14th Birthday Wishlist: ASOS, Fluffy Shorts etc…

By May 2, 2014 Wishlist

Hey peeps! It’s officially only 17 days until this gal (uhu, yup, me) turns 14… gah, sounds so weird! I started this blog when I was 11! Anyhoo, as a lot of people do on the interwebs, I’m here with a ’14th birthday wishlist’. Be warned this was written past 10pm at night, whilst listening to Vampire Weekend on full volume… don’t tell me I didn’t warn you!

14th birthday wishlist ASOS Dorothy Perkins UNIF Somewhere NowhereCamo Dress//Monster’s Print Fluffy Top//Monster’s Print Fluffy Shorts//Pastel Lilac Midi Skirt//Polka Dot Scuba Peplum Skirt//Floral Crown//Holographic Top//Dreaming of Chanel Book//Pineapple Socks//Divergent Bracelets//Pineapple Watch

 Camo Dress – This was an Instagram find. When my brother says that I spend all my time flicking through endless (and pointless) selfies, I can prove him wrong because I find little gems like Somewhere Nowhere. There stuff is AWESOME! Like, totally, amazingly awesome. Even though summer is around the corner (on this subject, my birthday is meant to be sunny and 24 degrees, FYI), I would totally rock this on the cooler days. I think it would look awesome with my ASOS Soldier Heels and some sunnies. It’s totally awesome (oh, I’ve already said that about a billion times), and the style is so flattering. WANT… well it wouldn’t really be a wishlist if I didn’t want what is in it… would it?

Fluffy Monster Print Top & Shorts – Another couple of pieces from Somewhere Nowhere! How awesome?! I remember writing this post on how Sully from Monsters Inc is a new fashion trend, and here is proof! I flipping love them! I think the fit of the shorts would look amazing, again with my ASOS Soldier Heels. So freakin’ cool! These 2 pieces are probably at the top spot of my wishlist!

Pastel Lilac Midi Skirt – I’ve never thought much of Dorothy Perkins, but this skirt has definitely caught my attention! It’s so beautiful! It’s slightly girly, but because it is so full, I could see myself styling it in so many ways. I also love the stripey mesh detailing, makes it that tad bit more interesting. What do you think of it?

Polka Dot Scuba Mini Peplum Skirt – I am in LOVE with scuba at the minute. It looks so structured and every time you wear it, it just looks like it is brand new. I think this skirt would be so cute for summer, especially when you are down at the beach. I wonder whether these sorts of clothing actually work like wet suits? Haha, you never know! If they do, that would be one cute little wet… skirt? Hahah deary me…

Holographic Top – Yes, I know, I’m still banging on about holographic things. I only own my £5 River Island purse, and my sort of holographic ASOS Soldier Heels (mention #1192423412423141), so this would be amazing! It’s actually slightly pricey, but I think it looks AMAZING and I could look over the price… if somebody bought it for me *insert crying from laughter emoiji*

Dreaming of Chanel – If you haven’t seen this post I did on my Top 5 Fashion Books (read it, it has a give-away *evil cackle*), then you won’t know that I have already read Dreaming of Dior, which was fabulous (read the post… it has a review…). When doing the post (READ IT), I discovered there was another book, but not about Dior… about Chanel! I must own it immediately. In fact, it needs to be delivered to me on a tray with orange juice and a nice warm croissant (with Nutella on the side), wrapped in holographic wrapping paper, with a note saying ‘From [insert your name]’, in 17 days time *flutters eyelashes*

Divergent Bracelets – If you haven’t seen this video (hehehehehe), then you won’t know that I have read the whole Divergent series (my boy was it good), and I now of course, need the bracelets to match! These ones I found on Wanelo, are awesome! I don’t think I could choose which one to get… probably Divergent as that’s the name of the series, but maybe all of them if possible?

ASOS Bits & Bobs – A wishlist by me wouldn’t be a real wishlist without some ASOS… I think I actually have a slight addiction with their site… I also have an addiction to floral headbands and when the 2 mix together, well, I think I know what love is… *sings* Isn’t it gorgeous though!? I have a black one which is perfect (even for summer), but this one is more colourful and just all round awesome… and not too badly priced either!
I’m on a bit of a pineapple high at the moment, so when I found some pineapple socks (£3… I  can’t resist… perhaps a pre-birthday treat?), and a pastel pineapple watch, I knew I had to share them with you! To be fair, the watch isn’t that awesome, but it has pineapples and pastels on it, so I ain’t complaining!

I hope you liked this wishlist! I shall see you soon my beautiful ones…
Oh and my address to send all these goodies is… Tolly Dolly Posh, I’m Only Kidding, But I Would Really Like These Things-shire *giggles*
