October Wishlist

This month I am WELL into my winter warmers already. The sudden change to cold and rain brought me running to my jumpers and slippers faster than you can say nana. So it comes as no surprise that this month's wishlist looks somewhat cosier than the last few. 

They're not numbered, sorry, but it's pretty easy to work out...

I love a masculine shoe, and these Office chelsea boots look perfect for afternoon rambles around the country estate, before a nice cup of earl grey.
Office - £70 

If you've not checked out the Ohh Deer website yet, then after you've read this head over for a nosey. They have some brilliant artists on there, and I can't actually get enough of their cushions. 
Ohh Deer - £35 

Cobalt blue has been around for a while, but I'm still not tired of it. Simple, flattering and versatile, this Topshop tee shift dress is ticking allll of my blue dress boxes. 
Topshop - £45

I know I'm not alone in this... I have a need to get a new coat every winter. I always love the one I buy, but by the next year it's just not quite tickling my pickle. Love, love, love and love this oversized Zara one.  
Zara - £79.99

Joy always have something on their site that makes me smile. I'm all for a pinafore, and the unique, slightly retro pattern on this is just darn joyful. Har. 
Joy - £42

I have to mention this... if you zoom in on this picture, the model's legs are pretty hairy! (See, models have hairy legs too!) Huzzah. But that aside, you'll find me this winter in a pair of these, nursing a hot chocolate and humming Christmas carols to my heart's content.
Urban Outfitters - £14

I need some fairy lights (preferably daisy...) to gradually wake me up in a morning. Going from a warm duvet and pitch dark room to full on lighting is NOT GOOD for my morning moods.
Urban Outfitters - £15

Carrying on the daisy theme, I love me a floral print and this is the perfect way to inject it into an Autumn wardrobe. Statement, oversized and bloomin' marvellous. 
Urban Outfitters - £42

Embracing Autumn

HOW IS IT SEPTEMBER?! No, really. How? Answers on a postcard please. (Remember the days of that?!)

August has been a great month for me - I've got to explore London a bit more, seen a lot of my wonderful family, attended the wedding of the year, and got to take ET home. Here's a few of the highlights through the medium of Instgram.  (My new favourite motto: Slap a filter on it.)

 

The resemblance is uncanny. 

August Wishlist

I won't always blog about lists I promise, but I thought I'd share with you my August wishlist, because, well it's full of lovely things that I really really want.

Also, I'm using it as a way not to forget things I spy on the internet. I'm one of those online browsers who's like 'ooh I like that', then go into a shop and can't remember for the life of me what it is that I liked. So hear it is: my imaginary if-I-had-lots-more-money wishlist for this month...

1. I love love love this. It's from Oliver Bonas which is a store which I've only just discovered for its gorgeous home section. I think what gets me is the map lining. Slightly above budget, this might have to be a future DIY project...

Oliver Bonas - £89

2. Inamo: An oriental restaurant where you can interact with your table. The illustrated menu gets projected onto your table's surface, you can see inside the kitchen, discover the local neighbourhood and even order a taxi home. It blows my mind.

Inamo Restaurant, Soho

3. Cut out boots have to be the perfect Summer/Autumn transition shoe, and this Topshop pair are pretty much perfect. I have FAR too many summer dresses that need a good old toughen up. 

Topshop - £70

4. I always nag my Mum for not keeping her old clothes, and this is another example of why! Mum, take note. These 'Mom' jeans from Topshop are perfectly retro, and printed with mini fast food. I do love a good mini print, and these are just all round fun. Ok so I'd never wear them, but that's not the point!

Topshop - £55

5. Urban Outfitters is another favourite of mine for home ware, and I loooove this range of letter lights. I think I'd like the whole set, and arrange my name above my front door...

Urban Outfitters - £40

6. Recently Zara has been battling with Topshop for my affections, and I think the neon strap detail on this otherwise plain dress is great. Toughened up with the Topshop boots and you could definitely get away with wearing this during the notsosunny days. 

Zara - £29.99
