Wish List: Indigo and Gold

Singlet - Weekday / Quilted jacket - M&S / Trench coat- Topshop / Leather clutch - & Other Stories
Fringed bag - H&M / Gold bomber jacket - Weekday / Watch - Marc Jacobs / Denim dress - Mango

It all started with my J Brand jeans. They're a deep indigo colour and the other day I wore a lightweight cream shirt with a small gold necklace with it and fell in love with the threeway combination I'd accidentally put together.

What I Wore for... New Year's Eve 2013

I'm not a huge fan of New Year's Eve. Too many people, overpriced drinks, the forced expectation to have the best night ever. Secretly I'd rather stay in with a takeaway and a Gossip Girl box set, but if the whole world is having a drink, I guess I should too!

This blouse from Mango has been on my Pinterest wish list since I first saw it on the WIWT Lust List. Thanks to the amazing Shopstyle app (a post on that to come soon!), I had a sale alert set up for it so when it went down to half price  to £20, I could buy it instantly. 

As it's a very fussy print I chose to keep it really simple and wear it with plain black jeans and chunky heeled black boots. I do love my accessories though so I still tucked a spiked necklace under the collar just to give it a bit of something extra.

I love these silver rings, especially with the amazing colour of this nail varnish I got for Christmas. It's Superpower Blue by Maybelline Color Show and is almost teal in tone. A new favourite I think!

Hope you all had a great New Year's Eve!

Purse Palpitations Week #11

Another week, and more things I want in my life. Click on the Purse Palpitations tag below this post to see my lusts from past weeks too!

I'm trying not to buy too much black at the moment, but I've just ended up filling my wardrobe with grey instead. This mesh insert jumper is great for the sports luxe trend and looks soooooo cosy.
Dorothy Perkins £19.99

Yes, I have 3 denim shirts already. That doesn't mean that I don't want to wear this one with leggings and high tops until I skip around the house with glee.
Mango at John Lewis £29.99

I've tried wearing round sunglasses and they don't suit me. But I'm still of the 'the bigger the better' thought process when it comes to sunnies. Cat-eye specs instead for me please.
& Other Stories £29

I am a big fan of tube skirts. Weirdly they are much more flattering on me than midis which just make me look like I have a spare tyre. I love this start print one from Topshop.
Topshop £22

Purse Palpitations Week #10

It's been a while since I last did one of these posts, but that's not to say I haven't been roaming the internet for bargains as well as other things I can't afford. So here's the return of Purse Palpitations, and the things I've been drooling over this week.

Topshop £38

Michael Kors - The Outnet £89

Mango at John Lewis - £22.99

Boohoo £15

Oasis £35

Purse Palpitations Week #5

Starting to think about my A/W wardrobe but I have a holiday before then too. These things are currently top of my list:

I think I'm going to have to get this as my holiday beach bag. It's so colourful! £16.99 from Mango

Houndstoothtastic £24.99 from New Look

Gloriously tacky. Definitely need it. £2.26 from Dollarjewlery on Etsy.

Love that gothic is coming in for AW12. This is top of my list so far. £38 from Topshop
