Friday Night Wishlist - Peaches and Cream

I don't know about you, but this week seems to be dragging! I haven't even had a full week at college yet it feels like I've been here for days and days!

But it's Friday tomorrow (yay!), which means whether you're hitting the town, going on a date or for dinner, it's time for a new night time outfit! 
Although when is it not..?
Apologies for the heavily holiday themed but I just booked my holiday to Marrakech! Very excited.

1. Coral lace maxi dress - Topshop £52
2. Coin and diamante headband - ASOS £25 
3. Buckled coral wedges - Steve Madden for Zappos £53
4. Sequined crop top - Lashes of London £15
5. Red stoned bracelet - Emilio Pucci £260 (I can dream?)
6. Aztec dress - All Saints £?
7. Feather earrings - Lipsy £8

1. The sheer skirt would be perfect for a summer night (we're getting there!) and could also be worked for a day dress if you happen to be lucky enough to go on holiday somewhere sunny! I know I use a lot (and buy a lot) of Topshop, but it never lets me down! And if it's not broke, why fix it?

2. Very Khloe Kardashian, oh how I wish I could pull one of these off. I think these look great when worn right and you've used enough hairspray to stop it bunching up at the top. It creates a lush boho glamour look, perfect for a meal by the beach. I also can't help but imagine it on a loose white dress with sandals?

3. What. A. Gorgeous. Colour. That is all.

4. Perhaps more suited for a night on the town, I love the use of colour and the slightly stained pattern on it. Lashes of London always stocks super cute and super affordable wear, staying on trend with its pieces as well as having its own clear personal style.

5. Okay, okay, ridiculously expensive but I just LOVE this. I'm sure there are some high street copy cats around but for now, I can just look and lust after this Pucci bracelet..

6. For years and years, All Saints and their sequined, embroidered, embellished, covered in coloured stone apparel has me nearly bursting with excitement when I see them in the flesh. They're just sooo pretty! 16 year old me was very close to persuading my mother to buy me one for prom, I got as far as trying it on, but shame about the price tag, usually ranging from £80-£300. Ouch. 
One day.

7. They look great against all hair colour and skin tones. Who can go wrong with feathered earrings to finish off a look?


What are you lusting over for Friday night?

Rock N Rose - Flower Crowns



During a recent post about summer, I found a gorgeous flower crown, which got me to searching for more. During this search I discovered the jewelry and accessory brand - Rock N Rose.



Top left: This would be an amazing colour pop if you were looking to make that extra bold statement. Would look best on a chocolate brown hair.

Top right: My personal favourite! Massively over sized flowers in a gorgeous dark shade of red. This is from the Pixie Lott collection, and as it does on her, would look amazing on blonde hair with matching red lipstick.

Bottom left: Now this ones a little different considering green flowers don't actually exist (do they?) But I am nearly as in love with this as I am the red one. I think it would look fantastic on blonde, brown or ginger hair and am so tempted to buy it and try it out at Reading Festival this year! 

Bottom right: Classic colours you could buy from any high street store, but still super cute and probably a good choice if you're wearing a flower headband for the first time or don't want to stand out as much.

Although if you're planning on wearing any of these, best be prepared for (jealous) stares!

Summer!?


Here in England, we recently had something that only happens rarely, something we don't see very often, but when we do everyone reacts - in a BIG way.
Heat is what I'm talking about. It reached 12 degrees last week, which to most people in the world is a blisteringly cold night, but here in the UK, we have grown accustomed to minus temperatures and snow. A lot of snow.

All this 'sun' has got the atmosphere at college buzzing. Talk of the summer, their plans, their holidays and most importantly of course - what they're going to wear! 
My favorite part of summer is that fashion is more laid back and relaxed and I plan to get my legs out every single day, bathe in the sun and make daisy chains for my hair.


Here's my Spring wish list. What's on yours?

1. Cheetah Crop Top - Topshop £19
2. Turquoise Stone Ring - H&M £2.99
3. Flower Garland Head Band - ASOS £9
4. Paisley Denim Shorts - Topshop MOTO £42
5. Diamante Coin Hamsa Head Band £28
6. Moccasins - swell.com £27
7. Floral Kimono - ASOS £68

Style Crush - Vanessa Hudgens

So this is my first post on my new blog and what better way to start it out then with a post about my ultimate style crush - Vanessa Hudgens.

At Coachelle in 2012 

For years I've admired her bohemian style and eagerly awaited for her looks to appear online or in magazines. Her outfits at Coachella two years ago were her at her best and I can't wait to lay eyes on this years looks!


Her Coachella 2011 looks

Vanessa first started to express her bohemian side around 2007, wearing hardly anything but maxi dresses with her soon to be trademark hairstyle. Through the years she got more and more into the gypsy bohemian vibe and oozed this laid back all the time, in every day wear and to special events.

Left: Vanessa at the High School Musical 3 premiere in a more relaxed red carpet look.
Right: Out shopping, Vanessa has mastered the effortless bohemian style.

How to get the look! As you can tell, a lot of it is down to accessories.


1. Hat - shoplovelybird.com $128 (Vanessa actually owns this!)
2. Brown studded boots - Office £50
3. Embroidered shorts - River Island £40
4. Turquoise bracelet - shopdixi.com £15
5. Cream crochet crop top - New Look £15
6. Fluro floral lace trousers - Topshop £75
7. Aztec tapered trousers - Topshop £38

In case you can't tell - I'm more than excited for summer and letting my inner hippie out!
