Believe it or not, but I've really been trying not to buy any clothes this month, but after a bit of a grey and rainy week I decided I wanted to inject some colour back into my life. The next morning, my ASOS parcel was delivered and I was smitten with my new dress. I loved the black tie ribbons at the top of the dress, it reminds me of all the beautiful dresses Dior and Chloe have been creating recently. The fabric is super light and works well with the floral pattern, a great piece to wear to the races or a wedding. Did I mention it's from Miss Selfridge and it's only £35!
Now, it's time to talk about the bag. I was extremely lucky to be given this for my birthday last month. I'd first seen this bag when Kurt Geiger had released back it in February (?) and was obsessed, but it sold out so quickly, I was gutted when I realised I was no longer able to get my hands on it. I was that annoying person who constantly tweeted and commented on their social channels asking if it was back in stock. However when I spotted it was making a come back at the press day I was so excited, and I loved it perhaps more than I did before! A few days before my birthday it appeared online and it was clearly meant to be. It might be a little over the top for the average person but I absolutely love it, the mini pearls, the eagle embellishment, the embroidery and the glittery thread weaved into the blue! It's so pretty! Plus I've seen it's now available in pink...

It's coming up to my 21st birthday and I've complied a dream wishlist, I would never expect to receive most of the things on this page hence why this post has been titled dream luxury wishlist but it's nice to have a look at pretty (and expensive) things. I wanted to choose a few different pieces other the endless Mulberry bags (the Alexa and Willow bags preferably) I could have put on this list.
I am totally in love with this jacket from ASOS and it's on my wishlist as I wish it would come back in stock, in my size (they only have size 16 currently). I spotted Front model Rosie Jones wearing it on Instagram over the weekend and it made me want it even more. I can imagine it looking perfect with a loose vest or with this t-shirt which I recently bought with some cut out denim shorts and ankle boots.
I've also been looking at rings a lot recently as I feel I need to add to my collection, my Daisy ring from Oliver Bonas is looking a little bit lonely on its own. I came across these two, the first being from my favourite jewellery designer Alex Monroe, all the jewellery on their site is so delicate and feminine, I'm yet to visit their boutique/shop in London. You'll probably know them from their famous Bumblebee necklace as seen on the gorgeous Sienna Miller. I also came across this silver heart/ship ring from Bark whilst browsing My Flash Trash, the jewellery site founded by Made In Chelsea's Amber Atherton. I think it suits my style pretty well and I can imagine sporting this on a daily basis. I've added a few other bits that I think are lovely too, I can imagine those Kurt Geiger boots teamed with a tea dress to give it a bit of an edge could look pretty cool during the (hopefully hotter) next few months.
What do you think of my wishlist, anything you'd pick out for yourself?
This months wishlist pretty much consists of accessories and all the items are a little bit pricey. I'm supposed to be being good with my money as I saving up for my trip to New York in the autumn, but there are just so many things I want to buy right now! A very navy & white themed wishlist too, this was completely unintentional I'm just obviously a navy and white kinda girl...
1. Dr. Martens, Mini heart satchel, £125 - This satchel is so cute and comes from the Agyness Deyn collaboration. This will be perfect for spring and summer when it finally arrives, and I think I would team this with a vintage style tea dress, but it would also look great at night with disco pants.
2. Kurt Gieger, Vito Heels, £140 - I've had my eye on these heels for a very long time, when ever I'm on the KG website I find myself time and time again lusting after these beauties. If I have any rich admirers out there, I take a size 7!
3. Topshop, Scallop Bikini, £30 & 4. Topshop, Scallop Swinsuit, £36 - I am so in love with these two swimwear pieces, they're something that I would definitely love to be wearing on the beach. I also love the 50's twist to them and my favourite combination of navy and white. Ties on the side of the bikini bottoms are especially flattering if you're worried about your hips/thighs on the beach as they don't cut you off like some other bikini bottoms may.
5. Puma, Classic Suede Trainers, £55 - I've been on the hunt for a new pair of everyday trainers for a while and although I love my Nike Janoski's to death, I fancied a change, so I spotted these on the Office website and I think I'll be purchasing them soon!
6. Olivia Burton (via ASOS), Watch, £62 - I first spotted this watch in the Islington Joy shop and I couldn't stop thinking about it on my tube journey home. So when I spotted it on the ASOS website, it made me want it even more! All of Olivia Burton's watches are so pretty and elegant and with 10% student discount on ASOS I feel I may be slipping this into my shopping basket someday soon!
What do you think of my picks? Is there anything you have your eye on? I'd love to know in the comments below!
What I'm wearing: Plum Body - Gap (old but similar here from American Apparel),
This outfit post is a lot more casual than my previous one but I hope you like it just as much. This outfit brought me right back to my childhood in the nineties, I felt like a five year old me in this polka dot pinafore from Miss Selfridge, can you tell I've been loving spots recently? I've wanted this pinafore/playsuit for a while, so when I was lucky enough to receive a voucher from work to spend anywhere in the shopping centre I work in I knew had to get this. With my student discount I got it for the bargain price of £15!
Although living in England we don't get to see too much sunshine especially around this time of year, I feel that this outfit would be perfect for when we do get some. I've decided to keep the rest of the outfit very plain with a basic plum leotard and some converse, however if I wanted to wear this outfit now I would definitely have to wear some tights.
Yes, the title of this post is a One Direction song, I wish I was sorry and I didn't like them but I can't help but love them and I am so jealous of everybody who's been lucky enough to see them on their latest tour. Definately my guilty pleasure!
