Birthday/Christmas Wishlist | #2 | Fashion

Welcome to today's birthday/christmas wishlist! Yesterday's was beauty (post here) and today's is... fashion! I never used to be one for fashion really. I didn't get it or just couldn't be bothered trying. However, I'm noticing the older I get, the more I want to put outfits together that work and I like making an effort with my appearance.

Below are just some of the things I've seen around that I love. I could have probably made about 7 more of these polyvore pictures!

The whole top row is from an Etsy I was linked to by a friend and I absolutely love it! They are called Activate Apparel (shop here) and they are fab. Very geeky and hilarious vests which I would proudly wear outside whilst exercising. At least I would know why people were staring and I wouldn't get anxious wondering if they were making fun of me!

Both pairs of leggings are from Topshop. I love the Transformers ones, who doesn't want to be Optimus Prime?! And the flock ones are I think would be great for under dresses to keep warm in the winter!

The jumpers are from Asda. I don't know about you but I'm glad it's 'jumper weather'. I much prefer the cold to warm weather. My logic is you can put more layers on to get warmer, you can't take layers off if you get too warm (well you can until you get to your skin!).

The shoes and both pairs of boots are from New Look. I wasn't too sure about cut out boots when I first saw them but they have slowly grown on me and now I lust after them! The other boots I thought would be great with dresses and thick tights or jeans (whenever I get around to buying another pair!). The flats are more of a necesseity. The flats I have are beyond fixing, they lasted a good while considering they were Primark but it's time for them to meet the bin and I need another pair.

What are your thoughts on these picks?

Birthday/Christmas Wishlist | #1 | Beauty

So I said a while ago, on Twitter I think, that I was going to make up wishlists for my birthday and christmas. It seemed like a better idea rather than people asking me what I want and me drawing a blank! I had a lot more fun making this than writing out lists. This way if someone (hiya mum!) wanted to get me something, they would know what it looks like and what it's called so it saves faffing on their part. You're welcome.

Today's post will be my beauty wishes.

1. Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H (005). Probably the lightest shade they have! I've got a wee sample pot of this and everytime I use it, I get compliments on how good my skin looks! £27.50 Debenhams
2. Real Techniques Core Collection. I've never tried any Real Techniques brushes but I've never heard a bad word about them! What better way to break into using them than their core collection? £21.99 Boots
3. Rimmel Apocalips (Big Bang). I've tried these out a couple times from friends having them and I've loved them. Red seems to be my go to shade for lips these days, makes me feel that little bit more fabulous! £6.49 Boots
4. No7 Airbrush Away Primer. I'm looking to branch out into different primers until I find my perfect one. So far I've only tried MUA and NYC so this is a jump up! £19.50 Boots
5. Katy Perry's Killer Queen EDP. Every time I'm up town and I see a bottle of this, I have to have another spritz, it smells amazing! £30 Superdrug
6. L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Blackbuster. I've seen and heard so many good things about this that I'd love to try it out for myself! £6.99 Boots
7. Topshop Nails (Velvet Underground). Now that I've bought my first piece of Topshop makeup, I'm falling in love with everything else they do! £5 Topshop
8. Topshop  Matte Nails (Mystic). Another Topshop polish, I love both the shades so much! Perfect A/W colours. £6 Topshop
