March Must Haves

So March is here and Spring is on it's way, which definitely calls for a wishlist! I'm really loving coming out of work at 5 to bright sunshine instead of pitch black, meaning I've got so much more time to enjoy the nice weather (when it decides to turn up), so this collection of Must Haves definitely sums that up! It's laid-back and casual, and fits my mood perfectly at the moment...


1. Sleeveless Boyfriend Jacket // Fashion Union     2. T-Shirt // River Island     3. Training Shoes // Nike   
4. Bleach Boyfriend Jeans // Boohoo
I've been lusting after this longline jacket for far too long now! It's just so gorgeous, and is casual yet so classic at the same time. While it is quite a statement piece, I could see myself wearing it so much now that the weathers getting a bit nicer, What I really love about it is the jersey style material which makes it so cool. The only reason why I haven't bought it yet is because it's £36, and while that's not reeeally expensive, it's still a bit more than I'd want to pay for one item, so I'll give it a few weeks until the regret kicks in and I go ahead and buy it anyway!

I'm not usually a really casual dresser, it's a rare occasion that I just go out in a plain t-shirt, but this super cute slogan tee from River Island might persuade me otherwise, Plus, it says Donut, I mean, it doesn't really get much better than that considering how much I love donuts! 

Words can't describe how much I love these trainers. I always love a nosy on the Nike website drooling over things I can't afford, even more so now I'm trying to build up my fitness - a New Years Resolution which seems to be lasting. I customised these trainers myself on the site (which I probably enjoyed a bit too much) and thought it was ace how you can personalise the trainers, making them just perfect for you! These would certainly help me wake up a bit quicker for my morning jog, as they are so stylish. There's always a downside though, as they cost a not so cheap £115, ouch! 

My love for boyfriend jeans has gone from strength to strength, and while I do have a pair now, I still can't help myself at looking for another. These high-waisted bleach jeans from Boohoo are really summery, but I don't usually go for high-waisted styles as they emphasise my tummy area, so maybe in a month or two when I've shifted those last few pounds, these will be top of my list!

What spring buys are you lusting after? Do you have any must-haves for the new season...?x

SPRING WISHLIST // VERSUS

One of my favourite things to do when I have a free moment to myself (which at the moment is very rare!) is to have a quick 'on-line window browse' on all my favourite websites. I love looking at new styles and trends, and picking out what I thinks going to be popular, as well as creating outfits in my head that I'd love to wear. While the downside to this is that I have a 'one day I'll buy it' wishlist about 10 miles long, it is always nice to dream!

I've picked out two really different outfits, both of which I love! While one has a much more casual 90's urban grunge feel, the other is well and truly polished pastel perfection...

1. Skater Dress // Lavish Alice     2. Statement Necklace // River Island     3. Perspex Clutch // Boohoo   
4. Metallic Sandals // Zara

I spotted this dress a couple of weeks ago on one of my favourite online stores, Lavish Alice. I've been shopping there for a good few years now, and have seen it get better and better with each season. I am in love with all their new SS14 clothes and accessories, but this Mint Green contrast collar dress has to be my favourite piece. Pastel shades are already huge for this season, and although I don't own any clothing in candy-coloured shades yet, when I finally invest this will definitely be my first choice! 
To do this dress justice I felt like it's endless prettiness needed to brought out, and what better way to do that than with a lovely flower cluster necklace? I'm so obsessed with statement necklaces at the moment, that I've fallen in love with almost every style, and this beauty from River Island is definitely no exception. I think the pastel hints mixed with bright colours are perfect to match with the dress.
The minute I laid my eyes on both this perspex clutch and metallic strap sandals, I knew they'd be so perfect for the dress. The bright cobalt blue colour complements the mint green so well, and small block heel on the sandals would be perfect for a summer night out!
Looking at this outfit and thinking of all the places I could wear it is getting me way too excited for the sun to come back, summer, hurry up!


1. Smock Dress // Boohoo     2. Gold Hoops // New Look     3. Barrel Bag // Zatchels     4. Platform Boots // Missguided

My second wishlist, it has to be said, is completely different to the first. Gingham checks are massive at the mo, with my local Topshop store literally being Gingham galore. While I'm not sure the gingham check leggings are quite my thing, this shirt smock dress from Boohoo is definitely something I'd love in my wardrobe, and at only eighteen pounds, it's definitely one of the first things on my list to purchase! Plus, as if I didn't have enough excuses, it's named after me! If that isn't a sign I don't know what is ... :) 
As well as being a statement necklace hoarder, I'm just as bad (if not worse) with my earrings, and these uber-cool gold hoops would be a welcome addition to my collection, as they would go with so many other outfits.
I've never been much of a 'bag girl', but just recently I've taken a bit more interest in arm candy, and this Denim Barrel bag from AMAZING bag brand Zatchels is just so lovely, I would literally take it everywhere with me!
These grungy platform boots from Missguided are definitely another item that I would wear almost anywhere, they just look so comfy, and they are the sort of boots that would be so easy to just slip on when you're having an outfit crisis kind of day. 
This outfit would be perfect for the wet-weather transition between now and spring, and I could easily see myself wearing it over and over again!

What pieces are on your wishlist for Spring/Summer? Are there any websites you're really loving for new styles at the minute...?x
