A/W 2012 Lustlist

September is truly upon us now and it's about time I took my head out of the last summer clouds and resign myself to the fact that I can't be wearing denim cutoffs unless I'm wearing some wooly tights too- boohoo! To cheer myself up I have decided to compile a little wishlist of some goodies I wouldn't mind wearing this Autumn/Winter.

1. Ebay- £11.99

Love this pleather skirt too much and it's a steal! OK, OK... I might have already caved and brought this beauty but it was too much to resist and the little studs were just screaming 'BUY ME!"

2. Tatty Divine- £89
Tatty Divine always have masses of pieces I want every season but this Autumn I'm lusting over this Leopard Necklace, but at £89.00 it's a definite stay on the wishlist but I love it none-the-less.

3. Gloves- Topshop- £10    Chain Link Snood- Accessorize- £22    Pom Pom Beanie- ASOS with Piers Atkinsons- £13.50
Everything else on my list is a bit dark so I thought I'd brighten things up with some lush knitwear in some colours to remind us that summer does come back one day... They don't match but I don't care!

4. River Island- £30
I think these shoes might be a marmite situation with people, but I really like them. A great transition from summer boat shoes to winter fur lined boat booties! Not sure if I like them in brown or silver best...

5. Topshop & J.W. Anderson- £69.99

Finally I couldn't leave putting on something from the Topshop and J.W. Anderson collaboration and this jumper jumped (harhar terrible pun!) out at me when I first saw the collection. Perfect for Halloween (or any other time for that matter).

Now I've finished this list I'm actually pretty excited about the cold (weirdo) and the layering of woollens and hats and scarves and gloves! So I guess my list did the trick of making me excited for winter (along with the prospect of Christmas!).

Goodbye short shorts and tiny croptops- see you in the Spring!

P.S. I really like this aztec shawl from Matalan, is it wrong? I don't know!? It is only a tenner...

What's in my bag?!

I see a lot of bloggers do this post and because I'm a nosy so-and-so they are usually one of my favourite posts to read! So I thought I'd better do one of my own bag, to try and make up for my own nosy nose-ness. Here we go!

This is my current work bag, though it does change every so often.

My cheap my relatively decent bag from ebay!

Diary    Pen    Mini notepaper    USB    Plasters    Paracetamol

Purse- Accessorize    Chewing Gum    Oyster card and train ticket holder- Paperchase    Tissues!    Primark Sunnies (in Topshop case haha)

Headphone (not sure where my iPod is!    Lip Balms- Boots & Figs & Rouge    Mirror    Nail Files- Ms. Manicure

So a pretty basic work bag really! Usually I have a few other make up bits and pieces thrown in and maybe a cereal bar/chocolate bar or two as well.

This week I am preparing for Bestival next weekend- SO EXCITED! My friends and I have booked a 15 man tipi in the boutique camping area (I refused to slum it in the regular camping I hate it that much!) We leave uber early Thursday morning and then get back Monday afternoon/evening. I absolutely loved Bestival last time, so I have high hopes for this year.
Expect lots of ridiculous photos on my return!

Hope you all have a lush week, let me know if any of you are heading Bestival way :D

OOTD: Hometime

This evening I am going home to celebrate my birthday in style (probably!). On Friday we are going out in London for the Bangface Boat Party & then on Sunday me and many friends will be attending Hackney Weekend (in the rain most likey boo!) I'm very excited otherwise :D

Anywho this is what I'm wearing today for the drive home. Except once I saw the rain out of the window I immediately put on tights instead. Boo rain again!

Shirt- Topshop (last year)- £12    Shorts- Vintage Levis- £20    Sock- Dorothy Perkins Sale- £1    Creepers- Underground- £89    Belt- Accessorize- £12

In other news- Please excuse the truly terrible photos! Taking these photos without someone to help or a tripod was ridiculously difficult! In the end my camera was balanced on the kitchen work top on my handbag with a teaspoon (seriously) mad I know!

Hopefully I'll have some half decent outfit photos from my birthday weekend/Monday and then of course the obligatory ones of me weeping into my cake about being another year older.

Hope you all have fabulous weekends :)

Jewellery Haul!

While my friends were visiting we did a little bit of shopping and I somehow managed to buy masses of jewellery! I think everything I got was in the sale and mostly half price and then I had a 15% student discount on top! Here's they are (but without the student discount prices cos I couldn't be bothered to work that part out haha):

Cross Bracelet- Dorothy Perkins- £2

Circle & Star Necklace- £2

Multiple Cross Necklace- Dorothy Perkins- £3

Feather Earcuff- Dorothy Perkins- £2 

Ring & Bracelet Chain- Dorothy Perkins- £3

Earrings- Accessorize- £3

Triangle Ring- Dorothy Perkins- £1.50

So there you have it! I was really impressed with Dorothy Perkins, but I guess they are owned by the same company as Topshop. For example I'm pretty sure I've seen that cross necklace in Topshop for around £12 and even at full price at DP it was £6! So if you see some jewellery you like in Topshop check out Dorothy Perkins and see if they have it cheaper!

Have any of you got any nice pieces recently?
