Current Wishlist

Since my birthday is next month – I’ve been looking at some things I could treat myself with and it always comes down to clothes for me, you can’t go wrong with some good new clothes, can you?

Textured check coat – Topshop
Pinstripe blazer – Monki via ASOS
Slogan tee – Topshop
Checked shirt – Monki via ASOS
Green checked shirt – River Island via ASOS

1. I absolutely adore this coat. I saw it in work and absolutely fell in love. Normally I wouldn’t wear a coat which is so out there but this is just perfect, I love the tartan/check feel and I love the fact that it’s green. The price is pretty steep at £95 but really, you can’t fault this jacket – it’s beautiful.

2. You’ll notice a theme in this blogpost – Monki. I’ve never had the chance to visit a Monki store but I’m so glad they’re online and on ASOS, too. The clothes look amazing and they’re reasonably priced too. I came across this blazer and normally, I’m not into pinstriped clothes but I think this blazer would look so cool dressed down with a pair of jeans – I think it’s stunning!

3. Anything with reference to Beyoncé – I want it. Simple, haha. This top is actually a pyjama top but I would definitely wear it out and about.

4&5. My last blogpost featured a checked shirt and so does this one, haha. My checked shirt collection really needs stop. I literally own so many check shirts, it’s ridiculous. I love how they’re so easy just to fling on and you’re good to go, I always like to have a different collection of colours so they aren’t always the same. I saw this Monki shirt on ASOS and surprisingly I love the colours, mustard and brown – I love how it almost looks like it’s supposed to be a mans shirt. The same with this green one from River Island and I especially love how oversized this particular shirt looks, you can’t beat an oversized shirt.

Current wish-list: All things black!

Apparently right now I’m loving a lot of black items which isn’t very rare so I thought I would show you guys what I’m loving and what I desperately want to buy. It’s hardly a summer appropriate blogpost but let’s face it – in Scotland right now, it certainly does not feel like summer due to the crappy weather.

I saw this Suede Tassel backpack in work and automatically fell in love. I’m 100% not into backpacks, mainly because I don’t know what I would do with my hands and I’m totally not used to it but this one is acceptable in so many ways. The fringing detail is perfect and gives the backpack such an expensive and classic look. At £65 it is pricey for a bag but it’s Topshop and I reckon it would last years, now I just have to miraculously find £65 to buy it.

I saw one of the many bloggers I follow on Instagram wearing these chunky boots and I was so shocked when I realised they’re only £29.99 from Missguided. I think they would look amazing with a simple dress or even an all black outfit and a neon kimono, argh I have so many outfit ideas in my head and I don’t even own them. I won’t be able to stop thinking about these until I own them, they’re so gorgeous and the price is just insane.

I love t-shirt and oversized dressers because the fit is so flattering. A bodycon or anything tight fitting is definitely not for me. Stripes are my favourite kind of ‘pattern’ to wear because they’re so simple but they still look amazing, I have a striped navy and white tee from Topshop that I never have off. I think this dress would be cute with a pair of chunky sandals or even the boots I mentioned above, can you tell I’m outfit building right now? This dress is from Monki via ASOS for £20, bargain! I’ve never tried clothes from Monki but by the looks of things, they seem pretty good. Let me know what you think of Monki down below!
