Hello everyone! How are you on this fine grey day? I’m really tired at the moment and cannot wait for a weeks break very soon (although, it’s not really a break, as I’m gonna’ be verrrrry busy!), and also I have to sleep next door to a 3 week year old baby (eeeee!) so I guess this tiredness will get worse… oh. Anyway! This is a ‘If I Could I Would’ wishlist, basically meaning, if I had the money to waste on very expensive beanies, these are the ones I would pick (and other stuff)… enjoy!

Annabelle//Bat//Pink Harvest//Yellowbric//Ivy//Mancini From £23.69 – £24.99

Quay Eyeware – I found this amazzzzzzing glasses brand via ARK clothing, and oh wow, I have fallen in love. SO NICE. My favourites are the ‘Pink Harvest’ pair. I love round sunglasses and these are bright pink sooo….? They’re not like £300+ obviously, but I do have quite a few sunglasses, so they aren’t really needed, but ‘If I Could, I Would‘… haha! Rebel £60.00//Dope Jewel £150.00//Meow £30.00

Funky Bling Beanies – Upon searching ‘funky’ into ASOS (as you do), I came across these beanies. Now, I am sure you could DIY them some how (anyone have any ideas?), but they are pretty cool. I don’t think I could ever quite commit to owning a £150 beanie really… or a £60 one… or a £30 one… but, they are pretty cool! My favourite is the REBEL one. I feel like the jewel one could get in your face bit too much, and the MEOW one is a bit bright for everyday wear. If I did ever by one of these, I would probably have to invest in a cat free safe so that 1, no threads are pulled, and 2, I don’t ever lose (or wear) it.

Jacket £184.50//Necklace £30.00//Sandals £55.00

Holographic Jacket – Do I need to explain? It’s metallic AND a biker, AND a leather jacket. It’s a tad pricey to splurge on, but it would be a good investment, non? Eleventh Paris always reminds me of The Hunger Games because I had a poster of the guy who acts as the fashion designer (you with me?) – Eeep! 2nd movie is out soon! YAY! – so yah.

Tatty Devine Necklace – First of all, do we like my editing skills? Putting ‘Tolly’ on the necklace? Yup. Secondly, how cute? I first saw this necklace on Olivia Purvis (What Olivia Did) – obviously not with Tolly on – and I just think they are really cool! I probably wouldn’t have my name, but I dunno’. Maybe?

Gladiator Sandals – I LOVE THESE SO SO MUCH. I’ve seen them loads, but I just want them. Like seriously, If I Could I DEFINITELY Would! They’re chunky, but simple, retro but cool. Ahhh, one can dream. These would be good in A/W too with nice tights and all, and amazing in Summer. Whyeeeee! Gah, I WILL have them one day. I WILL!

I know not all of these were ridiculously expensive, but it’s not always fun looking at things which are wayyy out of your price range. I mean, who here would spend £150 on a beanie? I hope you liked this post! If you want to see more things which are on my wishlist, check out my wishlist page here! I’m sorry I haven’t updated it recently, I will!

Before the month ends I thought I’d share with you a few things that I have been really wanting this March! You can see February’s here! This is a designer Wishlist, and I obviously don’t have the budget for the products, but one can lust!

NO.21 Pink Lace Cotton Hawaii Tee £255.00, NO.21 Green Check Lace Shorts £315.00, Aperlai Yellow Flouro Python Gatsby Loafers £390.00, Michaela Buerger White Crochet Chiffon Jane Collar £340.00, Cutler and Gross Gold Oversized Tortoiseshell Sunglasses £340.00 & Rizzoli In Vogue £45.00 (Avenue 32).

Top: I am in LOVE with this top! It is really girly yet has that ‘surfer’ feel to it, which I think is going to be really big this summer. I think it would look great with a dip-hem maxi skirt, as well as a pair of shorts. Add a cute hat, and you’re set for a rockin’ summer!
Shorts: Again, I am so in love with these too! ‘City Shorts’ are going to be HUGE this S/S 13. The lace detailing gives them a more chic feel, and would look great not only with the Hawaii Tee, but also with a white blouse!
Loafers: These loafers are the cutest pair of loafers I have ever seen! I have never really liked the trend that much, but these have really caught my eye! They would look perfect with a Monochrome outfit or again with the top & shorts. The POP of neon, adds a casual and playful look to them.
Collar: The shorts have a lace detailing, so this would match them perfectly! It would make the outfit look really glamorous, but super casual. You could also wear it with a dip-hem LBD (Little Black Dress) and sandals, for a gorgeous seaside date!
Sunglasses: OMG. #WANT times 3 million. I need these in my life! After watching a YouTuber rock a similar pair, I have fallen in love with oversized round sunglasses. The zig zag detailing is super cool, and I have never seen anything like it!
Book: A must have for S/S has got to be a book! This book is great for any fashionista (like moi), who wants to sit back, relax and gaze at pretty pictures from Vogue… sounds like a good deal to me!

Avenue 32 have such awesome stuff, which I think all of you should go check out! Some of the stuff is so gorgeous, and if you’re thinking of spoiling yourself, you should go take a walk down Avenue 32! Enjoy!

(This is a * marked post. This is a sponsored post. None of the links above are affliate links, but I may have been gifted/payed to do the post before hand. I chose all the products myself, and I really do love them all!)

Did you listen to me on BBC Radio 4 on Saturday? No? Don’t worry, you can still listen to it here.

I love Jumpsuits! I have one from Matalan, and it is amazing! They are very comfortable, and if you want to cover up then they are great! Not very practical at times though…

A new trend this A/W, is Berry. Reds, Maroons, Purples & Magentas, are all in trend, especially using the colours in Dresses, Shoes & Blazers. Here’s how you can work the trend…

Deidre Dress £60.00 (Oasis), AMP Chelsea Ankle Boot £55.00 (ASOS) & Limited Edition Rhinestone Bead Collar Necklace £15.00 (ASOS).

Here’s another 2 outfits for you!

Mint Velvet Storm Lace Border Dress £119.00 (House of Fraser), Limited White Bead Embellished Necklace £14.99 (Newlook), EST. 1969 Black & Silver Platform Strap Heels £44.99 (Newlook) & Diamante Hand Stud Earrings £2.99 (Newlook)

These Golds & Creams look great with the Grey Lace Dress, plus this pricey buy, will last you a life time!

Your probably thinking, ‘Those shoes with that Cape?’, well actually I think it works quite well, just change the shoes to heels for an evening look, and keep the Oriental Flats for a funky, cute day look. This Cape is so unusual, and could go with so many other looks.

My friend at school was telling me that they read Teen Vogue recently, and they came across the new trend of ‘Sneakers & Prom Dresses’, and I love the idea! Take a look at this Outfit which I have compiled…

Little Mistress Applique Prom Dress £60.00 (ASOS), Converse All Star XX Hi Trainers £52.00 (Schuh), & Tripp NYC Twill Biker Jacket £63.00 (ASOS).

Just add some gorgeous make-up and do your hair, and you’ll look like the ‘Prettiest Rebel’ in School!

On Saturday, I will be leaving home, to embark on a short trip to France, ‘Le Mans’ to be precise! So, I thought, as I haven’t been doing any articles recently, and I’m going there, maybe I should do a post on French Fashion? Oui…

Lets start from WW2. During the war, many French fashion houses were shut down, like, Maison Vionnet and Maison Chanel. As Germany took over most of what France produced, including Fashion, Germany took France’s haute couture, over to cities like Berlin and Vienna. During times like this, Fashion shows still went on, but with only around 75 models, shortened amount of time for evening wear, and lighter material being used on day wear. From around 1940, only 4 meters of material was used to make a Coat, and 1 meter for a blouse. With older Fashion houses closing, the only way Women could show there personality through their clothing was through a Hat. These Hats were made from old scraps of coloured materials, and sometimes, even Wood chippings!

A Fashion Show in 1947

After the war had ended, French Fashion started bigger, and better! (See above) Christian Dior, brought in a famous collection, ‘New Look’ in 1947. The collection included dresses full of colour, and skinny waists, for the French women to slip into, and feel good in. From then on, French Fashion was bigger than ever. With Elle, being founded in 1945, and in 1952, Chanel returned to Paris!

In the 1960s French Fashion became more manufactured and more ‘prêt-à-porter‘. Yves Saint Lauren came out with new collections, which were far more casual than just after the war. Since the 1960s, France’s Fashion industry, are now in competition with other countries; Britain, America, Germany, Italy etc.

I hope I come back from France with lots of Photos, so I can share my very short trip – 2 days! – with you all!
