ASOS Spring Fashion Wishlist

After Christmas and recent birthdays, it is safe so say my bank account officially hates me. Therefore, all I can currently do is look at clothing websites and lust after the beautiful new spring collections, glancing at gorgeous shoes, pretty dresses and my favourite - sunglasses!

I decided to put together a want list in 3 sections : clothing, shoes and accessories, to let you know what I'm waiting to get my hands on over the next couple of months. ASOS had such a good range of Spring attire so I've incorporated products from both highend and affordable brands.

What is your favourite product(s) from my wishlist?! 

Lots of love

Autumnal Accessory Lovin' | Miss Milly


Autumn is just the best season. Everything becomes so much better at this time of year - the fashion/colours are gorgeous, the nights are darker, Christmas is on its way and it's slightly acceptable to wear all my cosy, childish pyjamas from 4pm onwards! Another thing that has got me hyped up this Autumn are the accessories...let's take a look at a few of my fave pieces from Miss Milly.


Autumn leaves are one of the most common reasons for loving this time of year - I mean, who doesn't love hearing the sound of them crunch beneath your feet? Not the mention the array of mustards, oranges and reds as you walk through forests. 

To highlight the beauty of the season, I chose this orange, metallic leaf necklace to wear with each of my beloved knitted jumpers. The elaborately designed,silver-coated veins complement the leaf's warm tone, making the necklace look expensive and unique. This has been my staple necklace throughout October and I couldn't recommend adding it to your collection enough!


This isn't specifically Fall-based, but I thought it was super cute must-have jewellery piece. The love knot bangle is simple, beautiful and a perfect gift for a loved one; it is relatively sturdy and small in wrist size (I struggled slightly to fit it over my hands but is comfortable on the wrist). A great alternative to the pricey Tiffany&Co love knot bangles!


Finally, we have this stunning Purple Resin Ring, new to Miss Milly's online store. If you've been reading for a while, you will know my evergrowing love for large statements rings. This deep purple sparkling edition to my collection is fab for everyday autumnal wear - the ring is easily adjustable and can resized to fit any finger (I always wear mine on my ring or index finger!) Adjustable rings are a huge pro, making them universal for each and every one of you.

Thank you to Miss Milly for collaborating with me and sending me these gorgeous products. All opinions are my own, despite not purchasing them. I am always honest in my reviews!

What are your statement jewellery pieces this Autumn?!

Lots of love

Royal Closet Raid of the Day: January 23

As promised, one last thing before we stop celebrating the Countess of Wessex's 50th birthday: her closet raid! This is our time-honored tradition (eh, well, it's been around for a few months) of taking a look through a royal wardrobe and seeing which pieces we like so much we wish we had them for our very own. Praise with a dash of selfishness thrown in, just the way I like it.

When it comes to the Countess, I knew precisely the outfit I was after:
Emilia Wickstead is a favorite of Sophie's, and with good reason. This dress, debuted at the Luxembourg royal wedding in 2012, is a good example of Sophie's style on the whole: basically classic, but with a bit of quirky fun too. It also happens to be my personal favorite, because full skirts, belts, square neckline, three-quarter sleeves, and fun prints that aren't too cartoonish are just a few of my many favorite things.

A few more of my favorite Sophie things, for good measure:
A fun floral dress in a flattering cut, yes please.
Purple Prada coats, YES please.
And cute clutches, ohhhhh yes. Now, your turn:

What do you covet from Sophie's wardrobe?

Mega Wishlist for 2015 // Makeup, Fashion & More

Today's post consists of my ultimate wishlist for 2015; I have only created 4 categories, otherwise I would probably be here for ages. The categories I chose were makeup, brushes, clothes/accessories and perfumes. I may continue and create a second post following this with a variety of things and not just keeping it restricted into the fashion/beauty industry ( for example, cds, technology, books etc). 

*small disclaimer - I am not in any way expecting to get all the products I am listing below. I will be saving up for them over the year and hope to get maybe one item from each category by the end of 2015.*

Perfume



*I am awful at describing scents so I will just insert sections from their websites telling you what each liquid, encased in elegant packaging, smells like*
  • Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream - Light and airy, Daisy Dream is both floral and fruity. The fragrance captivates with delectable top notes of blackberry, fresh grapefruit and succulent pear. The heart imparts a rich, feminine jasmine, notes of lychee and blue wisteria. A dreamy drydown of white woods, musks and coconut water.
  • Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium - An addictive gourmand floral with notes of: Black Coffee – for a shot of adrenaline; White Florals – to instantly seduce; and Vanilla – for sweetness and sensuality.
  • Paco Robanne Lady Million - A fresh woody floral, Lady Million Eau de Toilette is a multifaceted, luminous, fresh and transparent interpretation of the original fragrance.
  • Christian Dior Miss Dior - It glides from the sharp charm of a fresh, fruity, citrus prelude into blossoming floral notes, then on to the noble elegance of patchouli, before finally concluding with musk, the last trace of memory With veritable riches concealed in her heart, Miss Dior develops in the most intense and astonishing way.
  • Jean Paul Gauliter Classique - A totally seductive fragrance...Sensual, sophisticated, bewitchingly seductive rose. Top note: Rose, rum. Heart: Vanilla orchid. Base: Sandalwood, tonka bean.
Makeup


  •  Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette - Very recently, I have been wanting this so so badly. I have a complete crush on eyeshadow palettes, not very good for my purse but oh well, and don't have anything like this in my collection. I have heard so much about this product and just envy everyone who has it...it is about time I bought it for myself!
  • Soap and Glory Supercat Liner - My bestie lent this to me very recently and I absolutely loved it. I didn't think I would be into a felt tip styled liner but I am in complete awe at how easy it is to apply wings with it. Definitely need to bag myself this in 2015!
  • Nars Creamy Concealer - Words cannot describe how much I'm longing to try this out. The packaging looks so sleek and classy, as always, and from every review I have read it sounds to be the master at highlighting and concealing those dreaded under eye circles - a thing my face unfortunately owns! *sad face* 
  • Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation - Over 2014, I wore this foundation to the parties I went to with my best friend Jess (helloitsjessxx.blogspot.co.uk). I just need this in my life asap, as the coverage makes my skin look flawless! Oh, and I probably owe Jess a lot of it back too!
  • The Balm Mary Lou Manizer - A very recent craving for my beauty wishlist is the very talked about higlight from the Balm. I only heard about this brand in 2014 and it became more popular as the year progressed. The highlight looks so beautiful and glamorous on all bloggers I've seen photographing it.

Brushes




  •  Nars ITA - I'm so desperate to try this gorgeous little fella out. It looks perfect for contouring and the thin dense bristles look like they would go a precise job when carving in those fake cheekbones.
  • Mac 217 - A great must-have from most of the beauty bloggers in town. Sadly, I always forget about the brushes when at a Mac stand and am mesmerized by the many other treasures the brand holds. I must try and get this some time throughout the year, as I'm a sucker for eye blending brushes.
  • Bobbi Brown Face Blender - Ever since Tanya Burr raved about this in a video long ago I have been eyeing it up. The way it effortlessly blended in her makeup made me envy her so much and I just want to get this myself to see if it works for me too. 
  • Real Techniques Bold Metals Collection - A very recent addition to the all so famous 'Real Techniques' brushes are the new bold metals collection, ever so beautifully designed by the Chapman sisters! The rose gold ones are my favourite, not just because of the colour but for the blush and contour brushes.
  • Nars Yachiyo - Is it just me that finds this brush really edgy? Probably. I just have a thing with fluffy blusher brushes, okay?!
Clothes/Accessories



  • Black Laced Playsuit - I want to add this little beauty to my wardrobe right now. It is from missguided and I am in love with the elaborate lacey detailing on the arms of the playsuit. This would be perfect for a night out with your friends!
  • Burgundy Floppy Hat - Every time I see one of these in a shop, I always have to try them on. My family and friends say they really suit my hair colour. The only thing is, it just appears, to me, as more of an autumn/winter fashion statement so maybe I should buy it around september again? Sigh.
  • Rose Gold Midi Rings - Noone can tell me these don't look so god damn cute!? I want some of these pretty rings but have no idea where to look for them/can buy any that look similar to the picture above. If any of you know, then please don't hesitate to drop me a little comment below:-)
  • Tartan Scarf - A classic - I mean everyone has one of these nowadays and I want to join the trend. Not just to 'get in with the crowd', I just love the look of thick chunky scarves paired with a simple tee and leggings - cosy but stylish is my fave look. 
  • White Turtle Neck Jumper - Oversized jumpers and shirts have been a big thing in my wardrobe for the last few months. However, I have recently fallen for this large white turtle neck jumper that looks really chic, yet so warm and cosy. Ugh, that look is to die for and I love how this model has her hair too.

*PLEASE READ*
