Mint Madness ♡

Hi there wanderers, here is another colour trend that I am totally digging at the moment! And that colour is this gorgeous minty green :) Now although I think I own about one piece of mint clothing I do wish that I had a lot more! It's just that it's such a hard colour to pull off - at least I think so. So if you have any idea as to how to style this delicious colour please let me know! :) Out of this mood board of mint piece I have to say that the ring and the shorts are my definite favourites! They're literally gorgeous! I feel as though the mint trend can only really work in a sunny and warm country although I guess it would bring a lot of colour to a colder country as well..

Pastel Perfection ♡

Hi there wanderers how are we all doing? Good I hope! I have once again been a little MIA recently but now that University work is all done and dusted (can't believe that's 2nd year finished!) I can focus on my blog and YouTube channel more and give it the attention it deserves. I am still working full time as a waitress for Rogano's but I'll always find a moment to relax and stay updated on blogging :)

Today's post is going to focus on my obsession with all things pastel! Whether it be pastel: pink, purple, blue, green or peach! The pastel trend is such a huge hit this summer and doesn't seem to be fading away anytime soon! I recently purchased some rather expensive coats in Zara (♡) and I decided to step further away from my comfort zone and more towards a bright or 'out there' kind of colour. 

I therefore opted for a gorgeous green coat and a bright fuchsia pink! Both are long and trench like but oh so comfortable and amazing quality. So in love.

Fashion Wishlist: Top 5 ♡

Hi there wanderers, welcome to my top 5 items currently on my fashion wish list! 

The items in this post are items that I can honestly say that I have had my eye on for what feels like a lifetime! I'll let you in on what I always end up doing when it comes to brand new clothes. 

First, I see them in the store or online.

Second, I check out the price and decide whether I can think of a justifiable reason for buying this item at THAT price.

Third, I decide that 'No it's okay I'll wait a bit for the price to go down'.

Fourth, when the price does eventually go down (and it always does without a fail) the only sizes left are either too small or too big and the only colours left of the item I wanted, now no longer exist!

So in all fairness, I think from now on I will justify the reason behind buying overpriced items as either I have it now and forever or I buy it at a discounted price but am not happy with the fit of it or the colour.  I really hope I'm not the only one who figures out potential life decisions in this manner..(!) To be honest, knowing me I'll probably wait another couple of weeks, lose out on them and then to make myself feel better, I'll buy something else completely irrelevant just because. And that ladies and gentlemen is how to spend any income from a minimum wage paying job on completely frivolous items! Anyway here are my top 5 and I hope you enjoyed this post! 

Top 5 Styles

♡ Urban Outfitters - Pins & Needles Daisy Spot Shirt
♡ TheWildFlowerShop - Erica Crewneck Layer Sweater
♡ Brandy Melville - Daisy Skater Skirt (S/S 2013)
♡ Zara - Polka Dot Dress with Peter Pan Collar
♡ Asos - Bellfield Jumper (Christmas '13)

Beauty Wishlist: Top 5 ♡



Hi there wanderers, welcome to my top 5 items currently on my beauty wish list!



These items are ones that I really really really want but haven't had a chance (or the money) to purchase them! Although in saying that some of the items listed are really not that bad price-wise, I just have terrible spending and saving budget skills.. As you might have noticed, I have added the Naked 3 palette as one of my top 5 items and yet in one of my upcoming YouTube videos (look for it on HERE) I mentioned that even though I had no money (£37's worth!) to be spending on expensive palettes and that the 'In the Buff' palette was just as practical, if not better, as a wholesome palette. I just can't help myself falling into the hype and buying into the latest craze.. 


So with that in mind I hope you feel the same as me in terms of giving in to fashion and beauty related crazes and that this post gives you some, if any, inspiration :)
