May Wishlist

Hello Beautiful!

We are a good half way through May now, however I thought there's no time like the present to write out a May wishlist!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have been doing an awful lot of online shopping - however the money will only stretch so far (sign).

1. Lip Voltage

All across the internet (and from a couple of my friends) I have heard/seen so many great things about this product! I've always wanted but, full lips like actress Megan Fox but I've never been a huge fan of having needles stuck into my face.

Lip voltage is a 'quick absorbing peptide lip treatment' which uses Nano technology to fill and volumise lips. For me, it's a dream come true and I can imagine it to be very similar to Soap and Glory's motherpucker but with better effects.

Prices are ranging on this product, but I'm seeing a common face value of £15/£20.

2. Ripped Mom Jeans

Ok, this isn't really a wish list item as I have managed to purchase a pair, but it did take me a long time to do so!

Don't get me wrong, I do love normal mom jeans - but after I saw a girl at my university wearing a pair of ripped mom jeans, I was totally smittened and the hunt began.

I searched everywhere for a decent pair of these jeans and I really was upset that I couldn't find a perfect pair. That is, until I came across Depop and found this. Finally, the search was over!

These mom jeans (or Monica jeans as my sister calls them) are from Topshop and were an absolute bargain at £22, and I cannot wait to try them on!

3. A Lace Kimono

With the festival season coming up, I am in desperate need of more kimonos. I'll admit it, I don't really wear cardigans and usually result to a coat - but what happens when it's only a tad cold? Silly Lauren.

This is why I'm resulting to kimonos - they're so cute and lightweight! And I am desperate for a lace one to add to my collection.

I love this black laced kimono from ASOS and is perfect for those long festival days!

At £28, it's not too expensive eitheir. Definitely worth saving some pennies for!

4. Two Pieces

If you have read my previous post, you will know I'm a little bit obsessed with two pieces and a Missguided was my go-to for these. However, after browsing Ark I came across this little gem.

Now, the two pieces I have at the moment are very much outfits I would wear out and i would love some co-ordinates I could wear in the daytime.

This lace two piece has nailed my needs on the head! It's perfect for everydaywear and is simply gorgeous. It could even be pulled off to create a smart look.

For me, the only downfall is the price. At £38.98, I can't see myself rushing straight down to Ark to buy this. 

What's on your wishlist this month?

S/S14: What to expect for trends!

The new year is finally upon us; which means that we can finally stock our wardrobe with the new spring and summer 2014 collection. Last year, we saw heaps of neon, bright colours and Orientals prints – but this year, we have a few new treats instore!

The development of the feminist:

This winter, we were introduced with the androgyny, feminist trend which saw us dabbling with suit trousers and shirts. During the presentation of London Fashion Week, brilliant designers such as Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent debuted that they are pushing this trend even further; making suit trousers a necessity in our wardrobe.

Pastel Madness

Candyfloss pink and baby blues have all made an appearance in LFW; promising to be one of the top trends. Chanel and Balmain have introduced these beautiful colours into their tweed suits, while Miu Miu and Olympia De Tan have mixed it up by adding cute prints such as cats to their dresses and jackets.

Lace to Lace

Valentino is famous for his use of lace in his designs, and this year it is set to be big on the high street. The theme is very romantic; mixing in deep reds and blacks for a gothic feel. Lace dresses and skirts will be hot this summer, being teamed up with open toed heels.

Think Aztec

Last year, Aztec patterns were popular on midi dresses – and LFW saw a twist to the popular trend. Famous designer Alexander McQueen based most of his campaign around this trend – mixing in beading with heavy feather details. However, this trend can be easily adapted using heavy accessorising – which can be seen in the collection by Celine, who used chunky, bright necklaces.
