WISHLIST // I don't do Summer

I cannot be the only person in the world who is already over Summer right? Sure, it has just started but my summer styling is just not up to par in my opinion. I love Autumn and Winter where I can pile absolutely everything on at once. At the moment I'm having to really think about what I wear and if it goes with that top. There are only so many hot days and so many t-shirts, blouses and skirts to wear. It's always such a pavlova (haha pavlova - I'd love some right now!) trying to decide what to wear. Does anyone else feel this pressure? You're right - it's probably just me. 

Anyway, here's my wish list for this week. I've tried to add a few summery bits here - really, I tried!

WISHLIST // ASOS Swimwear

My third instalment of my weekly posts: Wishlist Wednesdays (I know I've taken this alliteration thing too far!)

I'm going on holiday in a little over a month and am in desperate need of some new swimwear. I'm not the smallest girl in the world and so do not want a skimpy bikini that would leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. That lead me on a hunt looking for as many swimsuits and high waisted bikinis (that aren't ridiculously expensive or horrifically frumpy). I had to look at ASOS and managed to add almost £200 of swimwear to my basket. How am I going to choose?!

OOTD // Leather in london

Hello there! I've had such a busy week this week and I hope the summer stays just like it! I popped into London on Wednesday to see QI being filmed (after being told it was postponed from the Tuesday - what a nuisance!). After a lot of rearranging I eventually made it (and got within the first 10 people due to the others seeing Loose Women first. Brilliant!)

OOTD // Simple Pleasures

This is my first OOTD post in months! I usually take photos in one of the full length mirrors I have at home but I do not have that luxury at uni. I have to stand on my bed to look in my mirror on the wall to see if I look relatively presentable. I know what you are thinking - 'buy a mirror!' - but even if I did I would have nowhere to put it.

Basically, I got a new camera for my birthday from my lovely father. It has the sensor of an SLR but is in the body of a tiny point and shoot. Therefore it is easier to take photos at strange angles.  Fantastic huh? I do realise that you can't really see the trousers but yeah - I'll just have to explain them.

Excuse the messy floor! How filthy to my lab shoes look?!

Wishlist - 20th June

Wish list time! God, if someone famous wants to adopt me and encourage my awful spending I would be incredibly appreciative. That isn't going to happen, so I'll just show you my wish list instead.

Wishlist - 13th May

ASOS Cape Dress with Button Front: Orange is not my colour at all but I am in love with the style of this dress. It's so cute and quirky and if they did it in a different colour I would 100% get this dress even if it is £50 (I almost cried). I might have to wait until a 25% student discount or something....

Black and Ivory Check Trouser: I'm loving graphic trousers at the moment. These are super cute and only £24 ('only', she says). Who knows if they look good on. I'll just have to try them and see!

High Heel Sandal with Ankle Strap: I usually hate silver shoes. I usually hate glittery shoes. For no apparent reason I am in love with these! They do look pretty comfortable but they are £39.99. If I ran into a sum of money (like won the lottery or something) I would probably buy these shoes. How lovely would they look with those check trousers? However, I'm not sure I can warrant a reason to buy these otherwise. It makes me sad.

Neon Yellow Cut Out Clutch: I have had a little obsession with neon colours at the moment. This is only £9.99 and if I see it in store I will definitely pick it up. If I don't end up using it as a clutch bag, I'll use it as a pencil case next year. Super versatile or what?

Black Cut Out Peep Toe Block Heel Ankle Boots: Recently, my old faithful studded boots from Primark have broken. By broken, I mean there is a hole in the sole. They've lasted since september so I can't really complain but I just spotted these and I love them! At £22.99 I am seriously considering buying them but the question is, black or brown?

So that's my wish list. Why do I do this to myself?
