My Wishlist

1| 2| 3| 4| 5

I always seem to churning wishlist posts out like no end. However, I don't blame myself for this, more the high street stores that have me lusting over pretty much all of their stock. I'm guessing that's normal behaviour for a hard-up student, though?..

Now I'm working at Outfit again, I could easily make a whole ten page wish list for Topshop and Miss Selfridge alone, but I'm trying my hardest to resist every little temptation!

I guess there's a bit of a reoccurring theme here, black, silver and sparkly! That seems to be what I'm going for most at the moment.

I love the idea of the cute little ASOS shoes paired with the silver sparkly Topshop socks, and every other kind of cute sock that's only the market at the moment. (I spotted some Bambi ones in Primark the other day.. Oh my Goodness, cute!)

I'm also finding myself more and more interested in caring about what the bottom half of me looks like too. That probably sounds ridiculous, but recently I'm starting to buy and want a lot more jeans and bottoms than I've normally cared about. I used to just chuck on a pair of jeans and my outfit would be done with, but not no more!

Lastly, I think the T-shirt from River Island is amazing! I'm loving the symmetrical 'busy' type tees at the moment. It can be worn so easily but look so good and trendy!

Thanks so much for reading guys!

Wishing My Day Away

So, I'm back again after severely neglecting my blog. It seems mad that the last time I blogged was in November! This past year has gone so quickly and I can't seem to keep up! I can remember starting first year of uni like it was yesterday, and now I'm finished first year and waiting to move out.

I'm sitting here eating a tin of ravioli after really blowing my bank balance. Everyone's left for summer, my boyfriends and work and I'm in on my own. So what does this mean for Sam? Cruising the internet and pretty much dribbling over things I can't have.

And what a better way to get my bum into gear and start my blog again! Let's get this show on the road!

Top | Topshop | £26
Jumper | Miss Selfridge | £39
Bracelet | ASOS | £9
Watch | River Island | £25
Boots | Matalan | £22
Bag | River Island | £37

The first thing is the very much lusted over by pretty much everyone I think...the Topshop cropped cami's. This one in particular stood out to me for the really cute pattern. These can be found really cheaply in Primark too, but the pattern of this one really stands out to me.

Oh my God this jumper I have been wanting for months. I worked in Outfit for a few months at the beginning of the year and being surrounded by Topshop, Miss Selfridge clothes etc was horrible. I did get a few things whilst I was there but I couldn't justify buying this at that price even with discount. Boohoo!

I've been wanting to build up my jewellery collection for a while as I either break it all or lose it. Simple story with me... I buy jewellery and within a week of having it 9 times out of 10 its missing or snapped, brill! That's where the watch comes in..I very sadly lost my casio watch at a shoot for a film in alton. I left it in a cottage and it hasnt been seen since. Very, very sad times!

The boots.. blimey. I had so much trouble over Christmas trying to find a particular pair of River Island boots in the sale, then I walked into Matalan last week and there's a pair that are pretty similar- if not nicer! Places like Primark and Matalan are really stepping up their game recently with replicas of more expensive brands!

And lastly the bag. I went into River Island with some friends (one being Charlotte) and I fell in love with this bag! It is absolutely huuuge but I'm sure I could find enough rubbish to fill it with!

So there is it! My first blogpost in a while of many more to come! 

If you've got any suggestions on what you want to see next from me then let me know!

As always, thanks for reading!

Another Weekly Wishlist again!

The first thing I can say about this wishlist is... how ANNOYING is it that Primark doesn't have a proper website? I took a trip there at the weekend (with limited funds as always) and there was so so many things I neeeded to have, but couldnt :( Primark, if you're out there, get your website sorted! Haha.

Anyway, lets get right into it instead of an unnecessary and boring intro!

Firstly the spike necklace, something which can make any plain out boring outfit stand out that little bit more and become a bit more exciting. Plus, if you haven't noticed I have a thing for dark colours and studded clothing and accessories.

This cut out maxi dress I think is just stunning and such a great price. Probably two wishes in one, obviously the first of having the dress but secondly being able to have the figure to pull this one off! I can say that I love it but I doubt very much I'd be brave enough to wear it! Anyway, such a chic yet simple dress which would be great for looking that bit more classy on a night out, but still showing a whooole lotta flesh haha.

Miss Selfridge is somewhere that I think gets skimmed over a lot, but they always have something in there that I like! This jumper looks so cosy and comfy to wear and could easily be worn with black tights or black skinnies with black ankle boots.

Everyone and their mother has a jacket in this style, but I still really want one. Again, something to jazz up a boring outfit, can just be thrown on over anything making it easy, yet effective ;) haha.

I'm jealous of anyone going to a festival this year, so so jealous! And one thing that's making me even more jealous (yes I know this sounds absolutely ridiculous) but I keep seeing so many nice wellies everywhere? I feel like just buying a pair to wear everyday but I'm sure that wouldn't go down too well with people in my 'local area'. Now I wouldn't pay nearly £40 for a pair of little wellies unless I won millions on the lottery- yes I am really that much of a tight arse.. but I thought I'd just pop these on here as one of the pieces that's well outta my league!

I just love zig zags, intertwining rings and wearing different kinds of metal. Cant really say much else I dont think?

Lastly, I need a new bag soooo badly! Although, as you'd probably guess, I wouldn't pay this much for a bag, but one can wish on such a splendid item!



Sorry for the rubbish posting recently, I've had such a busy weekend! And on Thursday I'm off to Turkey for two weeks, so I'm going to try and get a few posts sorted out for then if I have time- Sorry if not! (There will be plenty more when I get back!)

I'm back again, with another Weekly Wishlist! I enjoy doing these posts as for some reason I tend to look at things and piece together outfits in my head that I wouldn't normally give much thought about. I think this is probably because I only tend to do online shopping when I know EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I'm more of a browser online than a buyer. (Apart from eBay, but that's a complete different story all together).

So first on the list, a grey 3/4 sleeved jumper. I know this seems boring, but grey is so versatile and jumpers are too. I love the autumn months and can imagine this with black jeans and a white studded collar shirt underneath or under a black leather jacket and scarf in the colder months. A realistic wishlist number- for once?

 I'm quite surprised I like the Motel jeans actually, but they can be dressed up or down, with heels on a night out with a floaty vest top or dressed down with a jumper (can you tell I love jumpers yet?) or a shirt.

I've only got two of Looks nail varnish's (or 'Nail Pop' as they call them) and just trying these has made me intrigued to try more of their range. This lipstick looks quite interesting, as the lipstick is matte, which I love the look of, and I think the gloss on top of  this colour would look great too. And that's quite something for me to say as I can't really stand lipgloss, but definitely something I'm willing to try out more!

Barry M nail varnish, what more can I say really? I could almost guarantee everyone has one in their collection, they're affordable with a good range of colours (although they may not tend to last particularly long).

This watch just reminds me of a watch of the Michael Kors variety. I would love to own a real Michael Cors  watch, but if you cant afford one you always know you can find similar on the high-street, eh?

The heels are absolutely gorgeous and a 'knock-off' of Jeffery Campbells. I must admit, regrettably, that I probably wouldn't wear them as I'm not the biggest fan of peep toes on myself, but they are something very special! Lets just leave it at that before I get carried away...

Finally the bag. This sort of style with the chain has been round for a while now, and to be honest I thought I had grown to hate it long ago,this re-kindles my love for the style. I'm not entirely sure what it is, probably the double zip and the fact it's not with the typical diamond shapped padding either.

Anyway ladies, essay over!

I hope you've had a lovely weekend, as delayed as that may be and I hope you're not finding it too hard not to empty your bank accounts doing your own weekly wishlists!

Thanks for reading!

I'm finally back after well over a week of not blogging and I have missed it! It's hard to say that seeing as I've only done five posts but none the less, I am back. 

At the moment, I feel like I'm kind of experimenting with posts, finding ones which I like to write and also what you guys want to read, as ultimately they are pretty much the only reasons I'm here! I seem to have slipped a little on the fashion front and thought this post would be an ideal recurrence seeing as I've been spending all my time internet window shopping recently with not a penny in my pocket (Yay for payday!)

Ballet pumps are something which I cannot get enough of. I love the combination of the nude and the gold rhinestones, I think they compliment each other so well! And for £14.99 it's not a price you have to justify!

I haven't actually tried any Topshop make up at all, and is something which I definitely plan on doing in the near future. Lipsticks are something that I have been paying a lot more attention to recently, and I'm finding it almost impossible to find a shade that suits me but yet doesn't make my teeth look like sweetcorn. Oh well, it's just trail and error I guess for people like me that haven't got a clue what they're talking about!

Rooting round my wardrobe in the scorching weather we've had recently, I noticed an enormous lack of plain tops. Now plain tops have always been something that I mean to go out and buy, but instead come back with everything patterned or stripey or god knows what. Seeing as I'm going to be at Uni in less than a few months, (and I am going to be POOR) I feel that some plain, baggy and comfy tops are pretty high on my agenda, as they can be worn all year round.

Now for the knock-off disco pants.. I have read so many reviews on the different dupes of American Apparels forever famous Disco Pants and every time I see them I just want to snap them up and let them be MINE. I've ummed and arred more than a few times and being the tight wad that I am, I can't seem to part with the money for something which I'm worried may look awful on me! Hmm, maybe I'll do some more thinking on that one...

And finally, the cuff. I don't normally look at Topshop's jewellery unless it's in the sale, or to be honest I rarely step inside Topshop unless it's to go to the sale but seeing as this is a 'wishlist' I guess there's no harm in looking and pretty much certain I won't buy! This cuff I think it a little steep, but I can imagine it looking so dainty and timeless on. I may just have to hunt down a cheaper version on good ol' ebay.

Just quickly before I go, you may have read in my introductory post that I'm pretty much on a film marathon summer.. I would much appreciate it if you could give me a heads up on some 'unmissable' films!

Is there anything you're lusting over at the minute? What's your favourite wardrobe staple pieces?
