Winter Clothing Wishlist

As the colder months are definitely upon us, I've been loving the Autumn/Winter wishlists that are popping up more and more frequently at the moment. So I wanted to share my own Winter Clothing Wishlist with you.

My winter coat is getting very tired looking as I've had it for a few years now.. I'm not really the type of person that just buys coats on a whim as I tend to think "I won't need that for months!" until it gets to Autumn and I realise that my coat is a little more ragged than I initially thought. These two coats instantly caught my eye, mostly because of how warm they look. The one of the right is the Faux Fur Lined Short Parka Jacket from Topshop. I love how the faux fur runs all the way through the coata and the navy blue colour would be so versatile. The coat on the left is the Chestnut Brown Faux Fur Trim Hooded Duffle Coat from New Look. I think I have a slight obsession with faux fur this winter., The colour of this coat is gorgeous and is so different from anything I have - it just reminds me of Autumn. I also love the Burgundy version.

I would love a pair of big, chunky, platform boots this winter. I'm pretty late to the party with this one as I originally hated them and thought they were ugly but they have massively grown on me recently. Both pairs I found whilst scrolling through Asos. I love the gold detailing on the left pair - River Island's Para Concealed Platform Boots - and I think the would really dress up an outfit with the suede across the front of the boot. The right pair - Asos' Empire Chelsea Ankle Boots - I would definitely wear day to day because of the Chelsea Boot style and I think they would look better once they'd been worn in a bit.

Asos Check Cord T-Shirt Dress  Asos Oversized Square Scarf in Check  New Look Red Check Wrap Skort  Asos Tartan Check Culotte Shorts

Anything tartan. Honestly, I would be quite happy to live in a mix of tartan throughout the winter. There's just something about it that screams cold weather, wrapping up warm and Christmas - maybe it's the Scottish connection?!. And I just love the way a tartan skirt or dress looks with some woolly tights and a nice pair of boots.

That's everything I'll hopefully be wearing throughout winter, what's on your winter wishlist?

Non-Beauty Favourites

This is my first Non-Beauty Favourites post! It's not going to be a monthly thing though because I can be quite picky with my favourites. I love reading about other peoples favourites so I figured that I would do my own!

Floral Kimono // New Look

I love this kimono! Admittedly, I jumped on the kimono band wagon pretty late but I am so glad I purchased this. I have literally been wearing it with everything - jeans, shorts, dresses - it just instantly dresses up an outfit. And it is so flattering on.

Company Magazine

I love Company anyway but recently it's been the only magazine I've been reaching for. Their summer fashion articles are on point and I have been loving their recent 'blogger related' pieces. It sounds soppy but it's so inspiring and motivating to see someone who was in my position maybe a few years ago featured in a successful magazine.

Sunshine On Leith

If you're after a lovely, heart-warming, cheese-filled musical than you need to watch this. I for one love cheesey muscials so I knew this was going to be a win. This film features the music from The Proclaimers and despite only knowing the ol' classic 'and I would walk five hundred miles' it was so good! 

Orange A4 Notebook // Paperchase

I bought this earlier on in the year and it has come in so handy recently. It literally holds everything going on in my life whether it's mundane shopping lists, blogging schedules or my random 3am thoughts - I'm not the only one that wakes up still half asleep and scribbles nonsense down, am I?

What are your non-beauty favourites?

Mini Haul

Again I am so sorry that I haven't been consistently posting but things have been pretty chaotic at home at the moment. But my exams are all finished and now I've finally got some time to myself so I figured I'd show you all what I've been buying recently. So here's the goodies..

The largest, and probably my favourite, purchase here is this bag from Tesco which you can see online here. This was such an impulse purchase as I was racing around my local Tesco picking up snacks for a day trip to London recently when I realised that I didn't have a bag to take. Luckily this beauty was in the very small collection of bags in the clothing section and it was only £15! I love the light tan with the gold hardware and it just goes with everything really well. It's a lot bigger than it looks and fits so much in there which suited my habit of packing too much stuff which I probably won't need (I'm a massive believer of 'just in case'). I can just tell that this is going to be my go-to summer bag.

My second purchase was John Green's An Abundance of Katherines which you can buy from Amazon here. I love John Green books and with a trip to London coming up I wanted an easy read for the coach journey and I knew John Green wouldn't disappoint. I am yet to finish this but so far it's amazing. I'm considering doing a book review once I've finished it if it's something people would like to see? 

I actually bought these last bits whilst I was in London at the Paperchase shop at King's Cross Station. I was in need for a new diary as I've always used July - July diaries (don't ask me why, it's just habit). I'm the kind of person that likes to write everything down and see it in front of me. This A5 sized diary caught my eye instantly because it's just the perfect handbag size and I like to cart it around with me everywhere. I also bought this orange A5 notebook. I never used to like the colour orange but since I've had my little orange Punto the colour has really grown on me. I needed a new notebook to organise all my blog posts and this is just what I was looking for. And it's also handbag size!

So that's everything I've been spending my pennies on recently. What have you been buying?

April Wishlist

I end up wanting a lot of clothes and make up that I then forget about and never purchase. It doesn't help that I never have money because of Cornwall's seasonal jobs and extortionate car insurance. So I decided to keep a little note of all my fashion and beauty wants in the form of a blog post as this way I can also let you know what I'm loving at the moment.

Topshop MOTO Tile Print Leigh Jeans
£40.00

I love these jeans! I think they'd be amazing in the summer with a simple, baggy white t-shirt and cute sandals.

Boohoo Lauren Double Buckle Cut Work Block Boot
£25.00

I think these boots would be so versatile throughout all the seasons and would really toughen up a floral dress. I think the colour would work so well on those summer days when you want to wear something other than sandals or flip flops.

Topshop Lips in Petal
£8.00

This would be my perfect spring/summer lip colour as it would give a 'your lips but better' effect.


I hope you enjoyed seeing what sort of things I would love throughout the upcoming seasons. What's on your wishlist?
