Ted Baker Wishlist

I have a little confession to make. I am absolutely besotted with Ted Baker. Every time I hit my local shopping centre it takes every fibre of my being to stop myself spending all my money on their local concessions. At the shopping centre in Milton Keynes there are concessions within the John Lewis and House of Fraser so I always have plenty of choice when I feel like treating myself, and with my third installment of my student loan making its way to my bank account soon I'm getting itchy palms and desperate to treat myself!

1. Floral iPad Case - £39.00 - I have so many iPad cases but I usually buy cheap and they fall apart quite quickly. I absolutely adore the multicoloured floral print and I'm pretty certain I will be buying this in the next few days. 

2. Coral Tote Bag - £139 - Confession time. I already have this handbag in two other colours! One was a Christmas gift and the other I brought with my loan back in January, but I love how summery and cute this colour is! 

3. Pink Purse - £75 - My current purse has definitely seen better days. I got it from New Look a while ago and it's pretty much falling to pieces now.  Whenever customers come into work with a Ted Baker purse I always ooooh and ahhhhh over them! 

4. Starfish Friendship Bracelet - £19 - I love cute little friendship bracelets and this one just screams summer to me! I think its so adorable and it's incredibly cheap as well! 

5. Blue Washbag - £29 - How adorable is this colour! Its quite different to usual Ted Baker colours and as soon as I saw it I instantly fell in love!

Weekly Wants #7

1. Ted Baker Kassady Purse - £75 - I've been lusting after a Ted Baker purse for what seems like forever, but after spending that sort of money on a purse I'd have none left to have a use for it haha! But this one matches my TB bag I managed to grab in the post-Christmas sales so once my Student Loan goes in for the Summer term I may have to treat myself!
2. Black and White Striped Dip Hem Dress - £19.99 - New Look - I haven't really been that interested in New Look recently but a new stored has opened a few shops down from where I work so I thought I'd have a nose on their website and I've fallen in love with this dress
3. Urban Decay Beauty Balm - £23 - I've been having a massive crush on Urban Decay recently, and I'm wanting to try something a bit lighter in the hope that summer will eventually appear so this seems like the ideal choice, right?
4. Benefit Sun Beam - £18 - I am a massive fan of Sun Beam, and my mini is slowly getting more and more over-loved, so it's about time I replace it! However I've recently purchased Urban Decay's Naked Flushed palette (Review coming soon!) and I've found myself reaching for that over my Sun Beam so I'm wondering is it worth buying a full sized or repurchasing another mini?
5. Blazer - £24.99 - H&M - Got this Blazer from work a few weeks ago in the baby pink and I love it, so I'm really considering getting it in the grey as well.
6. Spike Platform Wedges - £14.99 - Daisy Street - Any of my wishlists wouldn't be complete without a pair of my much lusted after 'BangBang Shoes!' I am in desperate need of a new pair of black wedges after my last pair sadly saw their end after an evening of Sambuca shots on Valentine's day evening :(
7. Lip Crayon in Secret Party - £7 - Topshop - I'm a massive fan of Topshop make up and I have loads of their lip products, but since spontaneously dying my hair pink a few weeks ago I've ditched my trademark red lippy in favour of something more complimentary of my hair colour! I love this shade and haven't tried any of Topshop's Lip Crayons yet so this seems like a pretty good choice to start!
8. Dragonfly Necklace - £6 - Accessorize - Dragonfly's are really symbolic to me and I always wear a dragonfly pendant on a chain around my neck but saw this in Accessorize recently and I'm kicking myself for not picking it up!

Weekly Wants #6

Hello my lovelies! I have been so bad with updating my blog recently but this week has been so insanely busy I haven't had two seconds to myself! But I have some exciting news to share with you all soon which I can't wait to tell you all about! But for now I'm gonna be all secretive but I'm sat here with a massive smile on my face mwahahaha!

I'm having a bit of a cop out and treating you all to another weekly wants! I've spent so much time browsing shops without actually buying anything recently but it's not too long until I get paid so hopefully that will all change soon! 

Sleep-In Rollers - £19.50 - I recently read about these rollers on Beauty Thrill's lovely blog and I've been determined to get them ever since! I recently tried Boots own brand sleep in rollers because they're a bit cheaper and they were a massive disappointment! I saw these in my local Boots today so will be picking them up when I'm next there! 

Studded Bag - £16 - I saw this bag online this morning and I had every intention of going and buying it but I got completely sidetracked with something else and didn't get the chance to! But I need a new bag to go back to Uni with and this is definitely my top choice.

Hudson Onesie - £24.99 - As soon as it gets colder I spent the majority of my time in my onesies, and Newlook are probably my favourite as they're reasonably priced and good quality (compared to the horrible fleecy Primark ones!) and I love the colour of this one, and I reckon I can sneak out to Tesco in it without having to get changed when I have late night ice cream cravings. WIN! 

Topshop Lipstick in Whimsical - £8 - Saw this on someones YouTube channel and fell in love with it, but it's not in stock in my local store, boo :(!

iPhone 5 - I admit it, I'm definitely on the iPhone hype! I'm beginning to get a bit bored of my iPhone 4 and I know 5 is gonna be practically the same but I really want one! My contract ends in January so might have an early upgrade! 

Clarins 3 Dot Liner - £18 - Really like the idea of this, but I'm a bit worried about how to use it? I'm hoping a more high street brand will release a cheap alternative to this so I can practice using it before spending so much! 

Is there anything you've been lusting after? Let me know! X 

Weekly Wants #5

1. Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation - £27 - I've been lusting after this foundation for quite a while now but I didn't want to spend £27 without being sure it'll be perfect for me but I've read a few reviews now and I think I'm pretty much sold on this but I'm still a tiny bit worried about matching a perfect colour! 

2. MUA Brow Palette - £3.50 - It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of MUA and I was so pleased when I first heard they have released a Brow Palette, I was originally going to try the Fashionista offering but I'm sure this is going to brilliant quality, and I will definitely be picking this up next time I'm in Superdrug.

3. Shell Pink Dip Hem Dress - £29.99 - I saw this dress in my local New Look last week and instantly fell in love with it, but I feel like buying it will be a bit pointless as I have nothing nice to wear it to :(!

4. Navy Blue Vans - £40 - I need a new pair of Vans as my grey ones are getting a little bit worse for wear but I don't want another pair of greys so I might go for Navy Blue instead 

5. Striped Jumper - £10 - I'm looking for things I can just chuck on and be comfy at uni, because I'm commuting this year and I'm going to be spending lots of time on buses and trains so I want to make sure I'm going to be comfortable!

6. L'Oreal Perfect Blonde Creme Maximum - £6.29 - I'm thinking of dying my hair completely blonde and this is what I used for my Ombré hair so I will probably use this again, although I'm also thinking of dying my hair red for the autumn so can't really decide! 

7. Watt's Up! Highlighter - £24.50 - I've been umming and ahhing over this Highlighter for most of 2012 and I love the look of it but it's a bit costly for my tiny student budget :(! However it is my birthday next month so this will definitely be on my wishlist!

Weekly Wants #4 - Bedroom Buys!

Hi guys! Today I was planning on sharing with you all my haul from today's trip to London, but it's pretty much non existent! I picked up a few pairs of shoes and a shirt from Primark in Oxford Street but there really isn't much exciting to report back to you all! One of the pairs of shoes was on the wrong hanger so I picked up a size too small and the only top I wanted the smallest size they had was a 12 but I picked it up anyway! 

So this evening I've decided to create a different twist on my Weekly Wants and focus it on bits I want to pick up for my bedroom. My bedroom has quite a vintage shabby chic feel to it but I'm always searching for new bits and pieces to add to it, and here's the things I'm currently lusting over!

1. Owl Cushion £14.95 from www.sassandbelle.co.uk - How cute are these cushions?! I saw them in Camden Market earlier but didn't pick one up and now I'm really kicking myself for it, definitely ordering one of these cuties, although after browsing their website there's so many lovely cushions!

2. Birdcage £9.99 from Dunelm Mill - I swear no-one my age should love Dunelm Mill as much as I do! This Birdcage is just so lovely and I think it'll look gorgeous in my bedroom, so I'll be keeping an eye out for this when I next pop in

3. Teapot Lamp £30 from Next - Love the Kooky, Alice in Wonderland style lamp I think it's brilliant! It's definitely a statement piece!

4. Heart Shaped Mirror £39 from www.beau-decor.co.uk I haven't currently got a mirror in my bedroom and it can be quite frustrating at times, but I'm quite picky and I need 'the one' and I think I've found it! The heart and shabby chic feel to it will fit perfectly in my bedroom!

What do you think of the pieces I've picked out for my bedroom? Would you like to see a tour of my room and my vintage-esque finds? X 

Glamorous UK Wishlist

Forgive me for saying but up until recently I wasn't too familiar with Glamorous UK, but I've noticed quite a surge in popularlity on blogs and Twitter, so I quickly followed their Twitter and liked their Facebook page to keep up to date with their products. Having spent what feels like hours browsing their website I have complied a list of my favourite items, most of which I will be definitely hoping to buy when payday arrives!

1. Black Disco Pants - £29.99 - EVERYONE is talking about Disco Pants and I'm desperate for a pair, but I don't want to spend too much on them so these are a brilliant alternative and I can't believe they're so affordable! These are at the top of my payday wishlist! I love the Gold ones Glamorous do as well but I don't think I'm brave enough to wear them, so I'll stick with black for now! 

2. Bird Print Dress - £29.99 - I have obviously once again chose bird print as I absolutely adore anything Birdy haha! I love the dip hem and soft feminine print of this dress, I instantly fell in love with it the second I saw it! 

3. Studded Jumper - £36.99 - I'm appalled at the fact that a jumper is featuring on my blog a day before August, but I have found myself reaching for my Jumpers and Hoodys the past few days! I think I'll probably buy this a size bigger than I usually wear and have it for lazy days, I love the studded shoulders! 

4. Sleeveless Top - £13.64 - I love the summery paisley contrast to this top, and it's quite versatile to be dressed up on nights out, or dressed down with skinny jeans or leggings, I've got quite a few top's like this already but I just cannot get enough! 

5. Cream Playsuit  - £29.99 - I love love love love love the vintage feminine print of this playsuit, and it's so summery and cute! It's perfect for warm days

 6. Peplum Vest - £24.99 - I love Peplum finishes at the moment and I love the lace detail and the sheer fabric of this vest, this would look lovely with the Black Disco Pants so I can feel that I'll be having quite a large order come payday! 

All of the above products are available on the Glamorous UK website, and all prices are correct at the time of publishing! Since browsing the Glamorous UK website I have definitely fallen in love! Have you seen anything on their site which you are lusting after? <3 X 

Weekly Wants #3

1. Fox Necklace - £8 from Accessorize - love this cute little necklace, and I really don't have much statement jewellery so I might give in to this!

2. Victoria Rose Wellies - £38 from Cath Kidston - I love Cath Kidston products but I usually head straight to the home ware bits when i'm browsing and I tend to overlook the clothing and accessories, but I thought I'd try something different and I looked at all their different shoes. Most of them are plimsoll style trainers which I never really wear but I love the wellies and I'd definitely get a lot of wear from them with this horrible weather! 

3. Skull Print Dress - £20 from Boohoo.com - love love love this dress, can't decide whether I prefer the black or the white, but I chose the black as I think I'd probably get more wear out of it, but last time I went down to Camden market they had loads of dresses like this, so might wait until I'm next in London and have a look around! 

4. Pink Cardigan - £22 from Matalan - Love the different tones of Yellow and Green weaved into the Pink of this Cardigan, and it's perfect to throw on in the colder weather, is it snobby to think that £22 is expensive for Matalan? Really like this though so hoping it is in stock in my local store! 

5. Tailored Trousers - £12.99 from New Look - Bit of a cop out with this one I'm afraid! I need new trousers for work, but I really struggle to get comfortable formal trousers, and I need something that's gonna be comfy as we're coming into our busiest time of the year.

6. John Freida Lightening Shampoo - £5.89 from Boots - as you probably all know I've recently bleached my hair to create an Ombré effect, but it's still looking a bit on the ginger side, so I'm considering other options. One thing that has been recommended to me lots is a toning Shampoo, but I'm a bit new to all of them so not sure what to use! I currently use the John Freida full repair range which I adore, so hoping this will do the job for me! 

7. imPRESS Press On Manicure £8.99 from Boots - Seen that these have created a bit of a hype recently and since I rather stupidly picked off my professional fake nails I want to give these a try and see how they compare, I've read some really good things so I really hope they live up to expectations! 

Sorry I haven't posted a Weekly Wants in quite some time,  it always seems when I have money there's nothing I really want, but now it's coming towards the end of the month for me and I'm broke everything is catching my eye! I'm thinking about splitting these types of posts into fashion and beauty wants, what do you guys think? X
