ASOS Wish List



Hello beautiful readers,

So its been a year, yes I repeat a year! I am sat here thinking wowzer what a break! but boy have I missed you all. Lets see what has happened in a year.....and of course take a look at my current ASOS wish list.

Moved house

Yes that dreaded sentence we moved house! It is so stressful isn't it, we needed to get a bigger house for our growing family and have now moved into a three bed house overlooking gorgeous fields. The house needs doing up and eventually an extension needs to be added onto the property to make it a better living space for us, so expect some home interior posts! 

New baby

So I had a 1 year old and 4 year old when I last posted but then had another in March this year, our little beautiful boy. We now have a 5 year old boy, 2 year old girl and a 6 month old so I will look at doing some parenting posts. Having three with 2 and a half jobs isn't easy but I wouldn't change them for the world and am so grateful and so lucky!

New business

I started doing wedding makeup a few years back but only did little bits here and there then in the last year on my matenity leave I decided to build this business up which has become a success, you can honestly put your mind to anything never give up!

So there is my little update for you all, lets hope this means I am back for good! I do want to get back into my Youtube but my confidence isn't great at the moment so not sure how that will go down, bear with me lovely people. 

Lets take a look at my every growing ASOS wish list.

First things first a good pair of jeans, these ASOS Mom jeans make me smile! Firstly they are high waisted Mom style which I love and have been wanting a pair for so long so these without doubt were saved in my wish list. I adore the cropped look and the acid wash, perfect for Autumn/Winter.

ASOS Mom Jeans

I adore leopard print be it on a bag, a shirt or dress but even better is a leopard print shoe!! I love this new style shoe where the top of the shoe is pointed with a block heel, it elongates my legs, being short this helps! These are Boohoo but I found them on the ASOS site.

Stop what you are doing and admire this stunning check skirt with bow detail! When I stumbled acros this River Island skirt on ASOS I couldn't stop visualising the possible outfits with this beauty.

These are pricey but I can't help but love them, teamed with heels or boots these would look perfect! I love the way ASOS styled these too. Throw them on with a long sleeved jumper or even a ruffle sleeve shirt.

G Star Dungarees

I love mustard at the moment and have found it popular on the highstreet so this scarf is perfect to add that bit of colour to any outfit. This is a brand I had not heard of before I found it one day on ASOS, I have a pair of trousers from them which are such good quality and the brand always have great pieces at affordable prices.

Stradivarius Mustard Scarf

Again here is the mustard colour popping up in my wish list. This Missguided flare dress is so pretty, team it with boots, a deep purple lipstick and a leather jacket for the ultimate autumnal look.

Relaxed Sunday Outfit....


Here is a little outfit post for you lovely lot. Its a Sunday today, well thats what day it is when I'm wearing this outfit and writing the post.

I love Sundays as its a chance to relax and be with my family with an Italian feast. I used to always wear heels day and night but as motherhood has taken over this has reduced but if I can I grab those bad boys with both hands and strut around!!

I got contacted by Tienne Jewellers, a great website showcasing various jewellery brands, I was able to chose a couple of items and straight away fell in love with these two necklaces by Estella Bartlett. My favourite out of the two is the Hand Of Fatima gold necklace, I have not taken it off since I received it! The second is the silver unicorn necklace, both at £19 each.

OOTD: Blazer Love


I have an obsession with blazers, there we go I admitted it, I am OBSESSED! I adore structure, a blazer that fits like a glove with unique detail. A blazer can transform a look, it can make a look go from your average outfit to a strut your stuff kinda outfit.

Yellow Dreams.....OOTD

 Hello Loveys,
 
So I was invited to my fiancés friends lovely wedding, I panicked as thought oh lordy I don't have an outfit! So off I popped and found this beauty in River Island, I struggled to find anything else in other highstreet stores which was really irritating as it is wedding season, but good ol River Island saved the day!
 
This dress retails at £45.00 which you can find here

I teamed this yellow bodycon dress with bright pink pointed heels which have gold detail at the front. The dress was really comfortable with a pleather effect neckline. The dress isn't one to wear if you want to fade in the background as its quite bright but I love this shade yellow despite my olive green skin tone it complimented it well, a definite winner!

This is an outfit that I have worn to work and for a general day out and about. The outfit is one that always works for me, the shoes are high but I manage as am a lover of high heels. The trousers are silk and were from Next, they are easy to wear and feel so comfortable, they are wide at the top but teamed with a skinny vest top from Tesco means it shows my waist so gives a curvy effect.

Haul!!!

Hello lovelies!!! So heres a little haul for all to have a look at, hope you all enjoy it and let me know what you think. I had some christmas money and went shopping! I wasnt overly pleased with the sales and didnt manage to find anything that great so ended up finding things full price-always the way isnt it! I didnt find many things that I wanted, I used to easily be able to spend loads of money on a shopping trip, but since I have had to save my pennies I have been extra careful and thinking twice so not spending much money at all, so I was pleased I had some christmas money to spend. I have to admit no shop wowed me, so it wasnt thw best shopping trip!

I went to Topshop-a shop that I love but think is over priced! I purchased a lovely necklace, I love there jewellery! A funky t-shirt and a pair of petite trousers which are in the wash!! So couldnt photograph! They are just skinny grey jeans.

Necklace £16.99
T-shirt £20
Jeans £35

Next I went to River Island which I find is a hit and miss shop, I either love a ridiculous amount or like nothing at all! I found a gorgeous blue lace dress!

Lace dress £30

I purchased a dress on MissGuided, a tie dye hot pink midi length pencil dress £14.99 and a oxblood short peplum skirt £9.99.

Finally in Sainsburys I got this lovely tablet floral case for £9.99! Love it!

What have you purchased recently?

OOTD!

Hey gorgeous beauty kings&queens! So here is a OOTD which includes my younger brother! This was on a eve out last week on holiday in Devon.

So I was wearing a Topshop Drop Down Hem dress in a blue shade which was £40, teamed with a tan belt that I got years ago in New Look and my tan high heeled shoes from New Look which were bought a couple of years ago at I think around £22.99. A Casio retro watch from Urban Outfitters which I cant remember how much as was a while ago!
My lovely brother was wearing a jacket and military boots from River Island with a brooch he added also from River Island. Under the jacket he had a Rihanna t-shirt from Topman, a scarf from H&M and his jeans were Next.

Hope you like our outfits! A x
