Day before Wednesday Wishlist #8

1. Pink Polka Dot Trousers: New Look £22.99 // 2. Tie Front Check Shirt: Topshop £29 // 3. Black Peep Toe Wedges: River Island £40 // 4. Red Ruched Sleeve Blazer: New Look £24.99 // Arrow Head Ring: Topshop £7.50 // 6. Cat Face Bag: Matalan £8

1. I love these trousers, they are so chic and I think they could definitely be dressed up or down. I don't have anything like this in my wardrobe and for £22.99 I think they are a bargain compared to some other printed trousers I have seen on the high street!

2. Shirts, I love shirts. Always have, always will. I just think it's the one item of clothing I think I will always want in my wardrobe. I love the colour of this shirt, very bright and in your face especially with the tie front! I'd love to wear this a pair of Disco Pants (WHY OH WHY AREN'T THEY MINE?!) a spike necklace and the peep toe wedges next to it :) 

3. Now onto the wedges, aren't these beautiful?! I love that they're not too high so I could wear them in the day as well as at night! And the stud detail is just to die for. Loveeeee.

4. You can never have enough blazers! I say this because I only have one but I love it more than life itself. This one however is a gorgeous colour and could give any outfit a pop of colour and a bit of sophistication :)

5. I am really drawn to this ring. I seem to lean towards quite edgy jewellery that could make a head turn and I think this ring does exactly that. 

6. Who doesn't love a kitty?! I seriously love anything with a cat on right now and I cannot get this bag out of my head. I'm definitely going to drag my other half to Matalan and hope to craziness this is in stock, I just love it too much! 

What do you think of my choices? Anything you can't live without this week?

FASHION: Day before Wednesday Wishlist #5

Hello my dears, how are you all this evening? Good I hope! 

Let's get down to business, I wasn't too enthralled with the 'New In' sections this week but I still managed to find 6 things that I like rather a large amount. Can somebody pay me for looking at the Topshop website? That would be lovely.

1. Ice Cream Print Shorts: Topshop £30 // 2. Open Pearl Ring: Topshop £7.50 // 3. Co-ord Floral Blazer: Topshop £65 // 4. Parisian Polka Dot Print Blouse: New Look £14.99 // 5. Scallop Waist Detail Short: Miss Selfridge £32 // 6. Cream Raffia Lady Bag: Dorothy Perkins £29.50

1.  I love how fun these shorts are, very me and perfect for the summer period and I don't think £30 is too extortionate :) 

2. I love the simplicity of this ring, but how it's quite different as well. Plus, I ADORE pearls, I used to try and steal my mum's pearl necklace when I was little, oops! 

3. I only own one blazer, but I love how they can dress up any outfit and this one is very summery and would be lovely on the days where it's too cold for a cardigan but too hot for a coat. I hope we have a few of those days soon.

4. I have to admit, the picture of this isn't very good but I saw this in store today and it was the only thing that really caught my eye. The coral/pink colour is dead on and I love polka dots to death :)

5. As you can pretty much tell, I like coral/pink on white and I really like the look of these shorts but I don't think I could afford both of the shorts and I don't know which ones I like more. Help?!

6. If you saw my last wishlist, I posted a lovely bag from Marks & Spencer, but I saw this one as well and I really cannot make a decision. Both are simple every day colour, both are big enough to be everyday and both look absolutely fantastic. I really don't know. Help me again?

What do you think of my choices? What's your favourite piece? 

FASHION: Day before Wednesday Wishlist #1

Hey lovelies, 

This is my first wishlist for 'The Art of Turning Pages' and seeing as I get my Graze boxes on Wednesday and want to do a post for them, I'm now renaming this one 'Day before Wednesday Wishlist.' Original, I know. 

1. Sleeveless Tapestry Denim Shirt: Topshop £35.00 // 2. Scrabble Magnets: Topshop £8.00 // 3. Cut Out Peep Toe Wedge: New Look £24.99 // 4. Blue Spot Lattice Strap Playsuit: New Look £24.99 // 5. Fleur Nude Side Bow Sandal: Miss Selfridge £22.00 // 6. Pastel Bead Collar: Dorothy Perkins £12.50 // 7. Floral Cut Out Bowler Bag: New Look £19.99 // 8. Froggy Ring: Top Shop £8.50

1. I absolutely adore this denim shirt, the detailing on the back and over the shoulders is lovely and it'd be perfect for the summer. Help though guys, what would you wear this with? Is Jessie J right when she said you can't trust anybody who wears denim on denim?!

2. Oh my goodness, I NEED these in my life. I don't even have my own fridge but they will be on it when I am lucky to have my own home! 

3. I tried these wedges on in store when waiting for a friend and they look so cute on and I can't get them out of my head. I don't really have a pair of plain black heels/wedges and I really think they would be a perfect addition to my shoe collection!

4. I saw this at the same time as the wedges and instantly fell in love. Perfect for your summer holiday or pretty underneath a denim jacket and flats for a cute day look. I neeeeeed this!

5. Okay, I know I've said this a lot now but I need these as well. I have a summer holiday in September and I think these little flat will be perfect for the day and night. These will be a holiday staple of mine.

6. Okay, I'm going to admit, I literally have no idea how to wear one of these but when I saw it I wanted to learn. The pastel colours are so pretty and perfect for the summer.

7. I'm a sucker for a handbag, like most of us ladies and this one was no exception. I love the floral detail a lot and the colour of the bag means it will go with anything and big enough to use as a day bag. I will be investing in this beauty, if I can find it.

8. I LOVE frogs, just love them so when I saw this on the Topshop website, I did a little squeal, it's just so crazy cute! And I need to add to my ring collection, I only have 3 not including the engagement ring! :( 

So, that was my first wishlist. And I literally can't not have every single piece on it. I hope you liked my ramblings! 

Any items you like on my list? 

Lots of love,

Mini haul ♥

Today me and my fiancé, David met a friend we hadn't seen in a looooooong time in town seeing as we're both free from university now and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to see if I can find black work trousers and shoes for my job trail/interview on Monday. I was lucky and found both of these items and also got a couple of things as well, oopsie!

These beauties are from New Look but I unfortunately cannot find them on their website. They were £12.99 and with the current 20% off for students I thought £10.39 was a very decent price for them but beware, they size rather big! I need at least 2 pairs of insoles for them but luckily I have a pair lying around already so bought a pair of foam inserts for £3.50 from Clarks. I think they'll be perfect for work, and everyday outings. 

Now, I am a sucker for anything with peace signs on and this cute ring was only £4 from Dorothy Perkins. They also had a student discount offer on at 15% so £3.40 was a decent price I think, especially as I'll get a lot of wear out of it.

Technic - Mermaid: this brand I have only found in Bodycare but at 99p, I couldn't say no. I already have an 'Ibiza Mix' like glitter polish from this make and I find it very pretty on anything I use it on, and easy to apply so I was very tempted by 'Mermaid' today and gave into the temptation. I will do a review of this once I'm able to apply varnish to my nails again!

Now we are hitting very late Christmas presents from my friend Sarah. I literally cannot wait for a spare moment to be able to read this. I have stopped myself watching the film so I can read this first which means I won't be able to watch the film for a good while. Oh well, uni comes first, right?

I adore Soap & Glory products, they are literally all I use so when I unwrapped this bad boy I was a rather happy bunny! The 'youcube' contains a 50ml 'Righteous Butter' body moisturiser, a 50ml 'Flake Away' body polish, a 75ml 'Clean on Me' shower gel/creme and a 50ml 'Hand Food' hand cream. I haven't tried the moisturiser or the body polish and I can't wait to get the chance!

For items I didn't actually need today I only spend £4.39 so I'm actually rather happy with what I brought home. 

What do you think? Do you use Soap & Glory? Have you read 'The Help'?

Lots of love,
