Here are some of my favourite pieces that I own at the moment, I'm not sure which of these are still available to buy, but I'll post links to those which I can find. 

As summer is almost here, and it's getting hotter and hotter each day, this kimono is perfect. It's a lightweight, silky material which is perfect to just throw on when it's extremely hot. I purchased this a couple of years from Topshop £55. I do not regret it one bit, I normally wear this in the evenings at festivals or when just chilling by our tents. It's lovely & floaty and look gorgeous on. I absolutely loved the print of this kimono, and it has birds on the back of it. This can also be dressed up when going out for a meal or just to the pub in the summer. 

I never leave the house without wearing my Marc Jacobs watch £165. I got this as my 18th birthday present in January & it hasn't really left my wrist since. I'm quite fussy when it comes to jewellery, but I really like the simplicity of this watch, with just a classic leather strap. As I've got tiny wrists, some watch faces are too big and look ridiculous, but this is just the perfect size for me. 

I wasn't sure whether to treat myself to this silk blouse from Topshop at first because I thought it was quite expensive at £58. But I gave in, and it is even more gorgeous then I thought. This is great to be worn with just a plain black skirt when going out for a meal. The colours are stunning, and the material looks find if it gets creased. 

I much prefer playsuits to dresses, because I always find dresses quite short as I have long legs in comparison to my body. But this velvet & lace playsuit is beautiful, £65 from Topshop, I bought this to wear for my birthday meal and I am still in love with it. This has cut out bits at the side which really compliments your figure. It has a low v-cut back which makes it look really elegant. 

I bought these gorgeous pair of heels for £82, but are now in the sale for £40 in Topshop! Boy, did my heart sink when I found out, but luckily were already sold out in my size otherwise I would've been gutted. Suede is one of my favourite materials, I just think it's gorgeous. I've read reviews that the metal plate on the heels of these boots have fallen off, but mine have been fine and they're surprisingly very comfortable. 

This was one of those buys which I couldn't decide on the colour I wanted to buy, so I decided to buy four different colours. This cami crop top from Topshop was £6 or 2 for £10. I also bought this is in black, white and yellow. This is a lovely mint colour, which I am absolutely obsessed with at the moment! I do find some ribbed clothes aren't always fitted and lose their shape, but these tops are a lovely material & are so cheap! I always have trouble with vest tops as of my short body, I always need to shorten the strap on all of them. But these are really good to just throw on, and will go with everything. 

Fur coats are just stunning. This was £169 from Jack Wills. It's perfect to wear out to formal evenings with black jeans & heels or a midi dress. It's sad to say I haven't got much wear out of this, even though it's beautiful. I just don't go to many formal occasions but hopefully in the future it'll get more wear as a fur coat never goes out of fashion. The colour of this coat is gorgeous and it's so soft, and it's a coat of high quality. 

My brother got me this stardust Swarovski bracelet for Christmas £49. My brother means the absolute world to me. This bracelet is truly amazing, when the crystals catch the light it looks so pretty. Hundreds of Swarovski crystals inside a fishnet tube with a magnet clasp. There are many different colour which this bracelet comes in, and you can also buy double bracelets and necklaces in the same style. 

I'm loving this draped front look at the moment, it's so complimentary. This playsuit was £50 from Topshop. It's a lovely nude colour. I wear this when I'm going clubbing or just out for a meal. It's made of a really good quality material and is fitted, which I love. The pleats in this playsuit really show off your figure. It's a lot paler than the image on the internet but it is a great buy. 

As you know, I love suede, so I couldn't say no to this suede clutch bag from Asos £25. It's a really good size so I'm able to fit my purse and all my other bits in when I go clubbing. I managed to get the last one of these in stock, I was so happy. I love the style and shape of this bag.

I absolutely love this duster coat from Topshop £79. I looks so much better on than on the hanger. It's quite thin, but it makes it hang really nicely once it's on. It does tend to be quite over sized, so I went for a size smaller than usual. The only downside of this coat is that it creases really easily, but it's so lovely to even care. 

 I live & die in these shoes. I wear them everyday & they're so comfy. They were £28 from Topshop. I love the velvet and silk ribbon contrast. Normally I find loafers really uncomfortable but this pair are so soft to wear and the back of the heel isn't so harsh on the foot. I have trouble with all my shoes, because my feet are so awkward I get blisters from every pair, expect these! They are starting to lose their shape a little and the heel is a little worn, but I have had a lot of wear out of them, and still loads to come. 

I recently got this playsuit from Topshop £28. I haven't worn it yet but it was so cheap for the quality of it. It's only a jersey material but it looks really good on. I think overlay dresses and playsuits look so lovely in the summer and are surprisingly cool. 

Sorry again about the poor quality images, they were quickly taken on my phone as I've lost the memory card to my camera. Thanks for reading.

Beauty wishlist

We all have beauty products which we want to try out but just cannot simply afford them all. I thought I'd share my wish list with you, including all the products I want to buy in the future. 

First is this Marc Jacobs high shine nail lacquer, in the colour 'Funny Girl'. This about £11.50/$18. I love the colour of this nail lacquer, but not only that, isn't the bottle just adorable. I know it's not about the packaging, but I've seen so many images of nails painted with this nail lacquer on Instagram, and it just looks gorgeous! Nude nails are the best nails.
Now this product is just a must have! It the Yves Saint Laurent touché Ã©clat blur perfector. This is £31.50. You can apply it before foundation or during the day as a touch up. I've tried this product on in Debenhams, and it is lovely. So worth the money, it makes your skin feel so soft and blurs out any imperfections. Not only that the casing is beautiful, you need this in your handbag.
I love makeup brushes, I could spend so much money on them. This classic face set is by Zoeva, it's £60 and comes with a little bag to put them in. As I want to try experimenting with my makeup more, I think this set it perfect. One of my friends owns some Zoeva brushes, and she said they're amazing, so I can't wait to try them. 
I've always wanted to try Daniel Sandler's invisible blotting powder £19.50, ever since I've heard about it. This is a lightweight powder to set your makeup and to mattify the skin. As this powder has no colour, it doesn't change the tone of your foundation, it just reduces shine. 
The Anastasia Beverly Hills cream contour kit is next on my to buy list £39. I've always wanted to try contouring, and I've heard all good things about this palette and watches loads of youtube tutorials of how to use it. It comes in three different shades to best match your skin tone. I'm not sure how good I'll be at contouring or whether it'll suit me but it's worth a try. 

Chanel les beiges healthy glow sheer powder £39. I really want this powder to go with my Chanel foundation because I think they really compliment each other. As I'm getting my makeup done in Chanel for my leavers ball, I'm going to ask to use this product so I can see what it's like and how it feels on my skin before I buy it. 
Dior, diorskin star foundation £32.50, there are so many foundations I want to try and this one is one my list. I've heard this foundation really brightens your skin and gives you an instant glow. But as you can't always go by reviews as everyone has different skin, so I'll ask to try it on before I buy which I always do before purchasing a foundation. 

And finally Bobbi Brown's corrector £19, I always manage to get a bit of mascara or eyeliner out of place, so this would be perfect to go around my eyes just to finish up my makeup. It's also meant to be very good for covering up tired looking eyes, which I also suffer from.

If you have any reviews about any of these products, please feel free to post your honest opinion as it would be very helpful.

Favourite scents

I am a lover of perfumery. I think how one can create their own scent is heavenly, and how we can recognise different perfumes. I would love to be able to create myself a perfume that is unique to everyone else's . I own so many perfumes, you can never have too many! I have narrowed my favourites down to just six. 

six - Daisy by Marc Jacobs 100ml (avg price £70). I always wear this perfume in the summer, as it always smells so fresh and light. Although I really love this innocent scent, I do find it can fade quite quickly, so may need reapplying throughout the day. It's a very sophisticated scent without being too in your face. It has a very natural smell to it. 

five - Ma Vie by Hugo Boss 30ml (avg price £37). This is the perfume I always wear to sixth form as it's relatively cheap and has a really appealing smell. This perfume always gives off a glow of femininity. 

four - So Cal by Hollister 50ml (avg price £39). I absolutely adore the smell of Hollister, so I asked which fragrance they use in the shop. Even though it's a mens fragrance I just love the smell. Whenever I wear this, people always recognise and compliment it. It is quite a masculine and strong scent. I can come home and the scent will still be as crisp as it was that morning. Really worth the money! 

three - Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel 3x20ml (avg price £64). This was a gift for my 18th birthday. I am in love with the perfume. This set comes with twist and spray case and three 20ml refills. This makes it suitable to just have in your handbag as it's a nice compact fragrance. The gold and white bottle is so elegant, just as the smell is.

two - Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent 50ml (avg price £64). This is came with a little 10ml compact spray to keep in your handbag. I think this fragrance has a lot of energy, I wear it when I'm going out. This fragrance has quite sweet and spicy scents in it, but they go incredibly well. I have never smelt anything like it and the first time I smelt it, I knew I had to buy it. 

one - Chloé by Chloé 75ml (avg price £75). This is by far, my favourite perfume. It last all day and is well worth the price. It's a really strong, unique smell. Every time I wear Chloé, I always get compliments! It's a very fresh smell, even though it's quite pricy, it doesn't disappoint. I would wear this perfume everyday, if I could afford to.
