June'13 Wishlist

Hello y'all!

It's the time of the month when I get to dwell how to find funds for all the things that I want/need to buy  and all I want to do is sit in the corner and cry, because it's simply impossible. I just want unlimited amounts of money so I can buy all the things that I want. I always find myself in the situation whenever I don't have any money to spend suddenly all the places have really nice things in stock. It's just like they plan it and they plan this game with me... Anyway,  here are some bits and pieces I'm planning on picking from the shops this month, I just need to paciently and quietly wait for payday. As I mentioned there are a lot nice pieces I would like to get this month, these are just some of them I just didn't want to make a very big and boring wishlist so I decided to include some things that I think you might find interesting. Maybe I'll make another wishlist this month... who knows! Let's hope this month won't drag and the time when I can live my life and spend all days shopping will come soon enough before I end up being diagnosed with some sort of depression. 



I came across this cover or eBay and well.. I kinda fell in love with it... I don't think it will be a shock to anyone, we all know how much I love my dip dye. I also think it looks super nice and summery. The bright yellow will add a little more summery touch to my phone and make it more interesting. At least I will have the sunshine on my phone as we probably won't see the sun, here in the UK this summer. The seller also has few other, alternative colours if you don't like the yellow one. 

I get weirdly attached to wallets, therefore I don't tend to change them as often as I would like to. Mainly because I don't see many nice ones for guys.  I need a wallet that will have a lot of space inside but is not physically big. Which could be quite a challenging to find, let me tell you that. This one from TopMan has drawn my attention and I really like it. I love that it's so simple, also because it's black its neutral and will go well with everything. The studs make it more appealing and up-to-date. 

I've been eyeing up the Casio Classic for so, so long, but then I realised there is no point spending £50 on yet another watch as I already have two very good ones. Plus I only want one as a little extra thing to finish off my outfits. I really like watches, I think they are perfect, they add to an outfit this nice finishing touch and elegance. So instead of spending £50 I decided to check out eBay and my dear friend didn't disappoint me - once again. I found this perfect alternative which looks very similar to the Casio just A LOT cheaper. 

Yes, it is indeed another t-shirt, but how could I not have a tee on my wishlist? I just have to, okay? I love how simple it is. Just white and red, I think it would go perfectly with a pair of dark blue jeans combined with white converse. Just like a casual, summer outfit. 

I knew that sooner or later I would end up wanting a pair and there we go. It didn't even take me that long to convince myself to the New balance trainers. They look so sleek and basic and this is what I'm loving lately. It's the simplicity that made me fall in love with them.

TOTAL - £114.99

When you're somewhere warm and most of the time you will spend partying you want to feel comfortable in what you're wearing and at the same time you obviously want to look fashionable. That's why I went for a tie dye tee which is a massive trend this season, to keep me cool and comfy but at the same time it will look super cool and trendy. I paired it up with dark denim shorts as I love denim shorts. I feel good in them and they are a basic piece in my wardrobe for summer. Because the t-shirt is very bright and colourful I decided to go for a dark denim to create a balance between the colours. This colourful tee gives you a lot of different possibilities, due to a lot of colours you can play around with the whole outfit and mix it with a lot of different colours. Thats why I decided to go for red vans to underline the whole outfit and give it a finishing look by choosing a darker colour. For accessories I picked a pair of sunnies which are essential for me in the summer, especially when you're in Ibiza right? And a set of bracelets with different shades of brown and red which go really well with the whole outfit and the shoes.




TOTAL - £199.99

While you're visiting Paris you must be prepared for the heat, large crowds, walking long distances and streets full of people who put fashion in front of everything else. That's why I decided to put my own spin on this look, to stand out from the crowd and be noticed for what I'm wearing. Dungarees, without a doubt will grab others attention, they add a different dimension to the outfit and at the same time look trendy and you feel comfortable wearing them. I decided to go for more casual look, as you will be walking long distances. I pared up the plain dungarees with a busy pattern tee which goes perfectly with them and a straw hat to protect my head from the sun and at the same time creating a funky, fashionable look. Spending all days walking you want to pick a pair of comfy shoes that you know they won't kill your feel, that's why I picked a pair of white converse. They go really well with the light denim dungarees, t-shirt and the hat. In my opinion creating a perfect outfit for sightseeing in Paris. I also added a big brown bag to break the colours and create a bit of a contrast between the light and pastel colours, which adds more life to the outfit. Of course I also included a pair of sunnies, I decided to go for a black pair because black sunnies are more classic and easy to pair with anything. 




TOTAL - £172.94

Going for cocktails in New York you want to look stylish. I picked this yellow blazer and paired it with a pair of simple black jeans. This season is all about bright and bold colours, pairing this blazer with black jeans creates a huge contrast. You will look stylish and trendy. Fashion is about taking risks, not being afraid to mix colours and be bold. Therefore I think this blazer is a perfect if you want to impress someone with your style and show that you're not scared of fashion and bright colours. To tone the outfit down I paired the bright blazer with a calm, toned pastel shirt. I think it's a perfect composition as it tones down the brightness and matches perfectly with the jacket. Adding a pair of brown and navy boat shoes and finishing the look with a gold watch and brown sunnies you are ready to turn heads and rock in New York! 




TOTAL - £159.24

As I mentioned before spring and summer 2013 is about not being afraid to mix colours and contrasts. That's why this outfit is featuring a black and white theme. To make it more interesting I chose a pair of light, ripped jeans from Asos. I decided to go for them to break the contrast between the black and white and I also think it makes the outfit a lot more interesting. Also when you're shopping in busy London it's all about the comfort and I feel most comfortable in jeans. Pairing the jeans up with white Homies sweatshirt and a black beanie and Nikes creates a massive contrast and that's what I love about this outfit. It's simple but trendy and at the same time super comfy. Because what's better than a baggy, soft sweatshirt and a pair of trainers? To finish this outfit off I decided to add this funky, gold, studded necklace. I think it goes really well with the theme and adds more colour and different dimension to this 'street' look.


Which look is your favourite? I would love to find out!
Good luck to everyone who entered the competition :)

Mini Haul

Hey y'all!

Today, I have for you my very first haul! WOOP WOOP! Erm... is it just me who's that excited? Yeah... probably, awkies! Oh well, anyway I went shopping few times last month and this month and I picked up few items so I thought I would share them with yah. So here they are! 

POLKA DOT SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT - Primark



I am an absolute shirts lover, no a month goes by when I don't treat myself to a new shirt ( or two ). Quiet surprisingly I also love the shirts in Primark... they are very affordable, trendy and really cool. They also have a lot of different styles and patterns. Maybe not the best quality, but come on, where else am I gonna get a shirt for £7? BARGAIN! 

I'm in love with this shirt, it's short sleeved, which is perfect for summer, and I just love the pattern on it. So if you're a fan of shirts like me or you're looking for a new shirt I would recommend checking Primark!


This is another shirt I picked up from Primark. I love the colors on it. When I look at it, it just makes me think of summer and just makes me happy. Patterns and bright colors are in right now as well, so if you're looking for a trendy/summery shirt this is perfect option. 

BLACK TEE - Primark






Yup, another item from Primark. This one however was customized by me! I did a little DIY on it. I went to Top Man and I found this perfect black, studded tee there. However the price was really steep. I wasn't prepared to pay £20 for a simple black tee! CRAZY RIGHT? So I decided to purchase a simple black tee for £2.50 from Primark and add the studs myself. (If you're wondering how to DIY your tee check our my tutorial HERE)

NEW YORK T-SHIRT - Top Man



While I was in Top Man, and even though I managed to stop myself from buying the black studded tee I couldn't contain myself from buying this one! I love this tee, it's very comfy, and loose fit and fits me perfectly. LOVE IT!

COCAINE & CAVIAR - eBay



Yup, i did follow the crowd and ended up getting yet again another tee. I'm not a big fan of slogan tees, but I found this one very interesting and different. I just feel like I can style it in many different ways and wear it with literally anything. If you would like me to show you how I style this tee let me know in the comments down below :).

NIKE TRAINERS - Nike



I basically shouldn't be allowed anywhere near shoes... because this is getting ridiculous. BUT HOW could I have possible NOT got these beauties? Especially when they were only £35, I mean COME ON? I love them, I'm not really a fan on red, but I love blue and I just thought the colors in this pair worked really well! I wear jeans a lot and I feel like these shoes will go with any jeans I put on. 

So that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this haul and I shall do another, bigger one soon! I wasn't really sure how to show you the products because I don't think they are looking the best on the hangers, but I literally gave up on my tripod, so I wasn't even going to attempt take takes of me wearing these items. I hope you don't mind them being presented like that and you like them. 

Also, be sure to let me know in the comments what you think about all these items! I's dyeing to hear your opinions! 

Until next time!
