January Pay Day Wishlist

Its almost here!! The longest ever pay waiting game of the yeeeaaarrr is almost over (sigh of relief!)

Its also time for new season trends to start popping up as much as I love this it frustrates me at the same time. Whats with bringing in all this beaut springy like stuff when Winters only just arrived?! Sort it out fashion peeps! otherwise, hurry up warmer weather so I can wear some of this!

Still adding it all to my wishlist though as not sure I'll be able to wait too long, it looks like the embroidery thing is still going for now and there's also a HUGE nod to this springs biggest trend - its all about them sleeves! More on that another day..

Here's my current pinned list of faves, doubt I'll be able to buy much (if anything) due to Icelandy saving as its now 6 weeks away and I've still got a couple of things to book. Its a seriously expensive holiday but I know it will be so worth it :)

Hugely crushing on studded jackets and florals still and that Asos dress has Spring written all over it! <3 my fave new in sections at the mo have to be River Island though and Missguided! Two shops I've not really gone for in a long time so they are seriously winning me back if they have pretties like these on the rails!

Whats your fave?

1. Light Blue Embroidered Studded Jacket - Glamourous | 2. Cher Ankle Grazer Tartan Trousers - Love Too True | 3. Velvet Quilted Patch Bomber Jacket - Asos | 4. Green Bardot Waterfall Sleeve Bodysuit - Missguided | 5. Multi Print Cami Dress - Asos Premium | 6. Black Wash T-shirt Dress - Missguided | 7.  Embroidered and Studded Denim Bag - River Island | 8. Teen Idol Tunic Dress - Sister Jane

Pinata!

Oh hello sun! Time to get colourful with this sassy lil pom pom cardi!

Premium Pom Pom Cardigan  // Asos 

Dollbaby Vest Top // Wheels & Dollbaby

Flared Jeans // Glamourous (now just £14)
Unicorn Tears Super Size Cup Bag // Skinny Dip
Glitter & Sequins Catseye Sunnies // Tunnel Vision
Floral Platforms // Asos (last years summer sale!)

I feel just like a piñata in this cardi but hey, its just far to much fun to not wear, even if it is getting warmer! :D I love the bright ice cream tones on it which make me feel really summery and ready to hang out on the beach. its 3 quarter length sleeved make it so that you aren't cooking to much under those piñata pom pom layers and act as a great beachy day cover up.

It's a first I've seen a cardi like this on the site but it does remind me of the Lovers and Drifters club Shaggy cardigans last year - I wanted one so bad but they are really expensive. This one comes in and under half the price at £55 and has even more colours on it, yay! :) Asos. I salute you! 

By something of coincidence this bright pink, and yellow colour scheme matched up with my platforms (also Asos) I snapped up in the sale last year. I was growing fearful, thinking they may never get worn as have struggled to find anything to go with them, but today was their day! They are the perfect heel size to go with my new flares too! 

BTW, I kid you not - the sea was actually that blue today as well. There has been no photoshop tinkering to give you the false illusion I could actually be in Monte Carlo staring out at the Mediterranean already. Though, having said that, I wouldn't turn down some flights to be there now... just 6 more weeks to go!

New Romantics

Floaty chiffon? Off shoulder? This is The New Romantics trend!

White Off Shoulder Gyspy Top // Forever 21

Flared Jeans // Glamorous (now just £14!)

Daisy Chain Choker // Select
Silver Coin Chain Belt // Boohoo

My favourite trend for this season is the new romantics, with the main theme being floaty fabric and off shoulder tops which are definitely having a moment right now - they are everywhere!

I'm really pleased this style has made such a huge comeback as it is so flattering on everyone and is a subtle way to flash abit of skin adding a new twist to an evening outfit and tbh I was getting abit bored of crop tops! Crop tops don't work well when you have the need to eat carbs all the time! :) haha!

This one caught my eye whilst shopping in Forever 21 during LFW and I just fell in love straight away! I haven't been able to find it on their site I'm afraid so it may have sold out? Its part of their contemporary collection.

The off shoulder top is a great look for upcoming festival looks as well, check out my fave picks below!

As I'm still poorly I took to taking some snap indoors the other evening! The lighting in my flat is terrible so I thought I jazz it up abit with these pretty star backgrounds and had a play on photoshop! I'm not a serial photoshooper by any means as I only really use it for cropping or trying to lighten up darker images so I watched a few tutorials on YouTube and had a play! Still go a way to go I think as these abit abit meh but oh well!! :) 

I've also been trying out a few petite sections for a few brands - with varying suceess! Most I still find don't tackle length issue, which is odd as I thought that would be a pretty vital point of a petite range. I've also found an issue with the waist size, particularly on these boyfriend jeans - am gonna exchange them for a size 10 as they are way to small for me, can't even do them up and I feel if I bend down it feels like they are gonna rip apart on my thighs!! (note to retailers - if your gonna make a petite range don't just assume all petite girls are also 6 ft and and have no curves, cus we do!!)

With Asos I've found that petite range means it fits lovely but is still a foot too long in anything and with these lovely starry jeans from Glamourous they simply won't do up! :(  Perhaps I need to get in to the habit of ordering two sizes up when ordering petite garms! 

Topshop petite is my fave I have discovered so far with a good fit so far all round! :) Have you found any  fashion shops that do a good range when it comes to sizing, or also share the woes of struggling with clothing sizes? Let me know! 

I'll get the exchange sorted on these jeans and then reshoot these in the new year methinks,  I don't wanna let them go as I love boyf jeans and anything with a distressed look! hopefully the 10s will fit!, 

Did you also spot my amazing lil hair bead clickers from Regal Rose, got these a while ago and adore them, so many cool n cute styles with braids you can do with these! .
