Dream Lust List

Hello there!
Well its an unusual Friday for me. Due to the snow my poor little car got stuck on the drive and I was unable to make my 35 mile commute to work. Today has been spent mostly in my PJs watching daytime TV whilst browsing for a cute Sunday-Bank-Holiday-Outfit. No luck just yet.

I thought I would make a dream list for you guys to see items I would LOVE in my collection. The beauty of Ebay is that most of the below items have dupes available, but if I did have a bit more bank to my balance below are some of the items I would purchase.




1. Alexander Mcqueen Union Jack Purse
2. YSL Arty Ring ...please can I have one please please?
3. Alexander McQueen Silk Chiffon Scarf I love how summery this is, such a staple scarf to have in your wardrobe
4.  Mulbery Willow Tote
5. Missoni Crotchet-knit bikini
6. Hottubs? I have a few friends that are lucky enough to have their own hottub. Maybe its because I'm obsessed with the weather warming up I don't know. But If I could plonk one in the garden I certainly would! Shame its snowing outside today...


What would you have on your lust list?

January Lusts

January is always a little pants, to keep myself sunny I have thrown myself into work and working out. The week has literally flashed by. I have my summer plans pretty much cemented in the form of a 7 week adventure with my man travelling Malaysia and Thailand, and I am so exited!
It will be my third time to South East Asia and each trip is nothing short of a love affair.

Unfortunately being an "independent woman doing it for herself" these things don't pay for themselves so I am being even more careful than usual, but that doesn't mean I cant look right.

Below are a list of little things I will almost certainly purchase this year but cant justify to myself at this very moment. Do let me know what takes your fancy....!


  1. Its been snowing for days now and getting up for work in the cold is becoming a drag. With the weather being as chilly as it’s been it seems a no-brainer to invest in this onsie. It looks so cosy and the perfect item to keep warm around the house of a weekend drinking tea and blogging. Burgundy is still really doing it for me over Autumn/Winter but the Ebay buyer has a range of different colours available.
  2. It was looking at Victoria’s (VIPXO) post that these really grabbed my attention. I really like the idea of a luxury pair of flats and I love the Vivienne Westwood logo on the toes. If I were to treat myself these shoes would certainly be the first port of call.
  3. Now this is an item I am DYING to get my hands on but it is out of stock EVERYWHERE. After days of stalking the MAC website I am yet to see Stereo Rose in stock. Stereo rose is an MSF that gets a lot of positive press and I would love to get my hands on this.
  4. Before Christmas I had a mini spend in the Yankee store and after agonising over whether to purchase a jar or a few minis, I got myself a few Christmassy minis. Vanilla cupcake is such a sweet scent and I get completely caught up in its deliciousness. There’s nothing better than lighting a sweet smelling candle on a cold winters evening.
  5. Ever since I saw Rhianna head to toe in Boy London on Jonathan Ross over a year ago I have wanted one of their vests. Completely inappropriate unless under a multitude of layers in the current climate I anticipate purchasing myself one of these over the Spring/Summer months, I really like the edginess and simplicity of Coy London’s brand.
  6. After nothing but love for Benefit’s Hoola I would really like to try Nars’ Laguna. I have heard nothing but good reviews on this bronzer as a contour colour and have read a multitude of reviews proclaiming these as comparable. I have a few Nars products and despite the initial price tag I really like the quality of the brand. There’s nothing better than giving washed out pale skin a kick with a sweep of bronzer of a morning!
What are you lusting after?

In Other news
This is my last week before signing onto the good old 9-5 life.
Ive got mixed emotions as I have working shifts for years and my new job is a totally different role to what I have been doing up until now. Baring this in mind its given me a brilliant excuse to go shopping for work wear which Ive been loving. So expect some work wear relates posts/hauls.

Wishing you all a great week

Dream Birthday Wishlist

Hello there you lovely chaps!

With my birthday is well on the way (this Monday) I thought it'd be apt to compile a list of dream birthday lust items. Of course in my true spirit it is a compilation of bits which contribute to my deepest desires in a 'no budget' sense so allow me to indulge!





2. Alexander Mcqueen Scarf
3. Marc Jaobs Dot Eau De Parfum
4. Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre Natural Finish Loose Powder
5. Alexander Wang Rocco Bag
6. Micheal Kors Rose Gold Watch
7. Zara Plaited Shopper Bag

  1. Weirdly I am currently saving for some Chrisian Laboutins for my graduation. I worked through the entirety of my years of university and I guess they will be a present to myself. My poor boyfriend doesn't understand why they are more special than any other shoe bless him and thinks I am a deranged woman!
  2.  I would love an Alexander Mcqueen scarf because I think it is one of those investment pieces that can be worn over a multitude of outfits and is a very iconic accessory. 
  3. Silly with the Dot Marc Jacobs perfume I am just fascinated by the packaging it is such a lovely bottle to have in my collection.
  4. The Chanel Poudre Universelle looks like a fabulous product. When I start my new job I will need my makeup to last all day and I think a dusting of this would help in elongating the durability of my makeup....and who can resist its luxurious packaging?
  5.  The Alexander Wang Rocco bag is one of my biggest lusts. Especially with an autumn obsessed with studs this bag is the epitome of this trend. I know Laura aka Buy now Blog Later has recently bought one, and ever since her faux purchase I have been consumed with lust ever since.
  6. I feel a bit naughty putting this watch in my lust list because I already have a lovely Michael Kors watch...but I just love the idea of owning a beautiful rose gold version.
  7. I have asked my lovely boyfriend for this bag. Apart from being a complete cult blogger bag I love its structure and of course that its huge. I am a big bag woman at the end of the day.
So there it is!
What items would be in your dream lust list?

Sunny Autumn Sunglasses.

Oh the irony Autumn has hit and so far its been gloriously sunny and still quite mild.
Heaven.

When it comes to expensive sunglasses I give them a big thumbs up.
I treated myself to a pair of Carerras last summer, similar here and they are still a treasured and essential piece kept in my car to this day, and I plan to keep them for years to come. I think when it comes to expensive investment pieces you have to consider their longevity, the more classic you go the longer you will get good wear of them.

It goes without saying that Wayfarers are rocking at the top of the sunglasses consortium at the moment, and they look to stay at the top over the coming sunny Autumn months. Below Ive had a good search and found some styles I believe to be versatile investment pieces.



I have to confess my absolute favourites are number 5. I have always fancied some D&G sunglasses and I think this particular style is incredibly classic and something that would remain stylish for years to come. I also love no.2 Ive never really had Vivienne Westwood sunglasses on my radar before but this pair are feminine with beautiful rose gold detailing. I came back from Thailand with five RayBan replicas and I love mixing those up. I owned a pair similar to 3 and unfortunatly broke them :(

Will you be wearing sunglasses over the autumn months?
