Monday Blues.. Cheer up, buttercup!

July, 11th and it is still pouring down with rain here in the UK.. when will the sunshine appear?

I'm not sure about you but I'm so sick of the rainy weather, of course we have had some sunny days but the majority of the 'summer days' so far have been none stop rain.. So what do we do when we're feeling blue? Shopping of course! 

I've just got back from a little mini shopping trip & bought quite a few new blues pieces which made me think.. Monday blues, lets make a moodboard! 

Each of the seriously beautiful items are all via. Polyvore and each most definitely on my dream wish list! I seriously love the dresses with their stunning colours and tassel detailing. I'd team each dress with super chic shoes and a quirky bag as shown above, I particularly love the Charlotte Olympia Kitty Boots, a girl can dream right!? 

How has your Monday been so far? 

Let me know!

If Money Was No Matter; How I'd Dress At Christmas Time

Today has been an icy cold day & I though what better to do on my day off than have a cosy day in eyeing up a lot of clothes on Polyvore that I couldn't afford due to the Christmas present buying ordeal. Ever single year I just see things and buy them without thinking of prices, this is great when you see somebody you care about loving & being genuinely happy with what they have received however my bank balance isn't looking to healthy at the moment. 

Anyway, when could be better to swoon over a heap of designer things than when you're pretty much poor..

The first outfit is a kind of day/casual look, filled with Charlotte Olympia item's, I absolutely love her brand at the moment& think she's got it so right when it comes to quirky accessories. I've even been one of these crazy competition people as she is running a twelve day kind of fruit machine style event online in which you can win bags & even her famous cat face shoes. 

Every morning I'm eagerly at my computer ready to use my three spins for that day.

The second look is a kind of meal out/drinks outfit, After loving this lip print dress for what feels like years I finally found out the designers name after spotting her in the ASOS magazine this month.

I never thought I'd be such a huge fan of girly pastel clothes but I can safely say I adore them& Alice McCall as a designer.

My final look is a party/going out look, the dress is from SheInside and then I went a little overboard with the Charlotte Olympia accessories (once again), I'd wear this outfit with bright red lips and nails to tie it all together perfectly.

I thought I'd post a few bits of my uni work whilst writing this also, mainly just to share what I've been up to recently. My final line up is now complete which means a busy few week of pattern development before creating the first garments after Christmas, I actually am so excited to get making the items now& can't wait to see how they'll look in real life and not just an idea in my head/ on piece of paper.

I hope you're all well.

Sometimes I love Topshop and then sometimes I can't find a single thing I actually like, this month has been a 'I want Topshop as my wardrobe' kind of month meaning my bank balance quickly decreasing. All of the items above were available online I'm just not sure what sizes are left, but I do know I love them all.
The pink skirt is one of those, when you see something and just can't get out of your head, I tried it on last week and it fit really bad /really unflattering on my body but I still can't stop thinking how pretty it is & just how much I'd love it (if it fit right). I love this entire wishlist and maybe me & my bank card will be visiting Topshop again really soon.
Hope you're all well.

Wednesday Wishlist; Eye Eye

one // black jumper

two // all over eye jumper

three // white big eye jumper

four // jacket

five // skirt

six // clutch bag

Although it's almost halloween and eyeballs take on a much creepier role, I seriously love any kind of eye print/jewellery all year round. So as you can imagine Kenzo's eye collection is dreamy in my eyes, however the £200+ price tags aren't really up my street..

This has got me thinking though and I think you could probably buy some iron on /heat transfer paper& create something similar at home.. I might give it a go, could be a new DIY post for sure so keep your eyes peeled.

I seriously love every single thing on today's wish list.. To bad I don't have a lot of spare money floating around. The yellow faux fur coat is may favourite, just imagine been able to walk round looking like a giant pom pom, I'd love it. 

Hope you are all well.

If I had ££ to waste.

If I had endless amounts of money and didn't have to save them/waste in charity shops, all five of these things would easily be mine, I love every single one just as much as the other.
