Christmas Wishlist

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
01. These Cath Kidston tins are so adorable, I think they'd be perfect for putting jewellery and make up bits in rather than stationary.

02. I've been loving all of Diptyque's scents for so long now, but still have yet to decided which my favourite is. I love the idea of this little travel set to try out the fragrances for before making the big purchase of a full sized perfume.

03. Another Diptyque item on the list! I think Pomander optimises the smell of all things Wintery and festive, perfect for this time of year.

04. I was so against iPads when they came out, but ever since buying one for Darren last Christmas (and 'borrowing' it rather frequently) I've really wanted one of my own! Since trying out the mini version in the Apple store I think it would be perfect for catching up with blogs and writing posts on the go.

05. I love the idea of anything that helps aid sleep as I never seem to be able to nod off no matter how tired I am. The Dream Team from This Works contains a soothing pillow spray and a concentrated roll on.

06. I've been desperately wanting this perfume for months now. It's the perfect spicy oriental kind of scent which I love wearing during the winter. Fingers crossed for this one!

If Money Were No Object: Avenue 32

Lizzy Disney Envelope Bag, Zara Simon Light Saber Vermeil Ring, Wunderkind Gold Floral Brocade Trousers, Preen Blue Teacup Print Darjeeling Blouse, NO.21 Black Wool Tuxedo Jacket, 3.1 Phillip Lim Black Nancy Oxford Flats, Armenta Midnight Crosses Bangle all via Avenue 32

Although I'll probably never be able to afford a real designer item it can't hurt to make an unobtainable whishlist once in a while. The online boutique Avenue 32 has a host of designers, ranging from well known brands such as Calvin Klein and Giles to the not so heard of but equally brilliant Mother of Pearl and Paper London. The styling is impeccable on the site, all the outfits being put together so well I actually clicked on pieces I wouldn't usually go for (hello gold brocade trousers). I adore the long cuffs on this blouse from Preen and I think paired with the stunningly cut NO.21 Tuxedo Jacket and some tailored trousers, I'd really have myself an outfit worthy of the price tag. The bangle from Armenta is also divine and I'm beyond tempted to splash out of one of the beautiful Bex Rox Friendship Bracelets, so elegant!

Autumn Beauty Wish List

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
01. I'm loving everything Aesop have to offer at the moment despite not even trying anything from their range yet. I'm such a sucker for branding! The Parsley Seed Mask is proving to be quite popular at the moment and I feel like my skin could do with a really deep cleanse.

02. I saw this beautiful dewy cheek colour on the Meg from Lipsofacto (post here) and decided I had to have it (and her skin too please!). I love fresh looking skin in Autumn and a natural toned cream blush is perfect for this.

03. The Bumble and Bumble Texture Creme has been on my list for so long now I think it's time I just bit the bullet. Luckily there's a double discount day coming up at work soon (oh my poor credit card) so there really isn't an excuse to put it off much longer!

04. I'm so much more drawn to a smokey eye in Autumn and think Beauty Marked from MAC would be the perfect deep plum for this.

05 & 06. Stylenomics and Skirting the Issue from Essie's new fall collection. Dark green isn't really my colour when it comes to nails but this was the one I was most drawn to of the new range. Such perfect Autumn shades!

07. I'm not usually one to get excited over the MAC collections and want to buy everything but the new Marilyn Monroe range is just beautiful.

08. I never really jumped on the BB bandwagon as I like a good coverage base, but I've heard so many good things from people about Dr Jart I really want to try this out.

Warehouse AW/12 Wishlist

1, 2, 3, 4
I don't think I can put into words how excited I am that Autumn is just around the Corner and that the season of chunky knits, layering and deep colour palettes will be here soon! It has to be my favourite time to dress for and although we're only half way through summer, supposedly anyway, I'm longing for all things warm and already becoming bored of dresses and bare legs. Warehouse have just unveiled their beautiful AW/12 collection along with a cute video campaign (which you can see below!) and there are so many pieces I can't wait to get my hands on and the ones above are some of my favourites!

Things I Want This Week #10

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
01. There have to be a thousand versions of this coat across the higstreet at the moment from Zara to Primark. I quite like the look of this River Island offering though after seeing it beautifully styled by Lily.

02. I've got quite a thing for River Island at the moment and their new(ish) range of cheap little jewellery pieces are all adorable. These cross earrings are my favourites.

03. First I was obsessed with collar necklaces, now its actual collars! I think this crisp white collar would add so much to even the most plain t-shirt. I've also been eyeing a lilac studded version from Champagne Diamond.

04. Still in love with Origins and still craving this night cream. I still have a tub and a half of Benefit's Total Moisture to use up (even though its lovely!) before I can allow myself to buy this. Sad face.

05. It's that time of the year once again when I'm after the perfect pair of winter boots. I might just cave and actually buy the Office Nighthawks as they are ridiculously beautiful after all!

Things I Want This Week #09

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
01. I must go through at least one denim jacket a year when summer comes around but I love the studded detail on this Topshop one.

02. Falling more and more in love with rose gold as the days go by, justification being I need things to go with my watch (which I really should show you properly. Would anyone like to see a post on that?). I may have already bought this.

03. Finally a decent dupe of the infamous American Apparel Disco Pants! After being indecisive for months and eventually forbidding myself to spend £70 on a pair of trousers I'm glad I waited as these look just as good to me.

04. I'm not a big lipstick wearer but there's always something about Topshop's colours that make me want to buy them all, this bright orange one called 'Firecracker' especially.

05. My make up just isn't staying where it should in this heat, so I asked you all on twitter a while back to recommend me a good primer and this one came out on top. I love Philosophy's products and am quite surprised I haven't bought this already. I'm sure it'll be going straight in the basket on my next trip to Boots.

Things I Want This Week #07

1, 2, 3
01. I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it on Lucy's blog and am currently on a mission to make it mine. I don't think I've ever owned anything this red before but the hearts and the mesh and just pretty much everything about it make me drool!

02. Steamcream has been around for a while now and has various awards to its name, but I never really understood what was so special about it. It claims to be the ultimate moisturiser containing natural ingredients fused together with steam which can be used on the face, body and hands. If anything I'd buy it for the amazing little tins which it come in literally hundreds of designs. Its also available on BuyaPowa at the moment for as low as £8.95!

03. This ice cream necklace might just be the cutest thing ever if it wasn't for the price!

Things I Want This Week #06

1, 2, 3, 4
01. I finally got round to using the Benefit B.right miniatures I bought a few weeks ago and although they didn't last long, I loved them all! This moisturiser was definitely the stand out product but at £26.50 I'm a little hesitant to give in and buy the full size.

02. I've been seeing these funny little lip balms popping up everywhere recently and I think the flavour lemon drop would be perfect for summer. Not that I need any more lip balms!

03. Desperatley want to get my cartilage pierced but until I can pluck up the courage to subject myself to that kind of pain these Topshop ear cuffs would do the job very nicely.

04. I can't seem to say no to anything mint these days! I've actually tried this on a few times and keep putting it back as its quite scandalously sheer but still so lovely.

Things I Want This Week #05

1, 2, 3, 4

01. I'm not quite sure what I'd wear this with but pastels, tie dye and a drop hem all wrapped into one make this skirt pretty much perfect in my eyes.

02. After seeing this gracing Anna's lovely nails I think Essie's Absolutely Shore would be the perfect edition to my ever growing mint collection.

03. I had these sunglasses years ago and recently stumbled across a pretty cheap and cheerful pair on ebay. Trying not to give into temptation and buy every colour!

04. Another pastel themed item. I don't usually like white leather bags but the beading on this is just beautiful.

Things I Want This Week #04

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
A little snap shot of what I hope this summer will bring. Pastels, prints and cat eye sunglasses, all topped off with the most beautiful coral lipstick I've seen in a long time. Definitely need to buy this one before it sells out for good!

Things I Want This Week #03

Topshop Dress, MAC Harmony Blush, Asos Swallow Bag, Soap & Glory Juicy Peaches Lip Balm, Marc By Marc Jacobs Rose Gold Watch
01. I think we've all been drooling over the new Mary Katrantzou for Topshop collection and after seeing this dress practically everywhere I feel like I need it in my life. Unfortunatley thought the whole collection bar one scarf is sold out online and at £350 for this one item alone, I don't think my bank balance will quite stretch that far.

02. I've heard this is really great as a contouring colour. I usually use my Chanel Tan de Soleil but I find that if I haven't got a bit of fake tan on it's better off just used as a bronzer as its slightly too warm for my skin tone.

03. I saw this bag and immedietly thought it would be perfect for Summer. All these pastel colours and shorter lengths are really growing on me, even if I'll always be an Autumn girl at heart!

04. You should already be aware of my obsession with lip balms and when I see a new one I really can't help but want it. I hear this Soap & Glory one smells amazing!

05.I've been lusting after a Michael Kors watch for years now and recently I've been loving rose gold everything. I tried a few on the other day and as lovely as they were they all seemd so big and 'blingy' for my wrists! This Marc Jacobs alternative is just as pretty and looks a little smaller.
