Payday Wishlist

Hello again! This week's blog post is something different, here's a few things I've had my eye on for the last few weeks while dreaming of payday :)

 
Boohoo Tailored Cape



A cape is something I've had my eye on for awhile but hadn't found anything I liked until I seen this beaut on Boohoo. I like that it still has the blazer lapels and gives it that more fitted look. I don't usually drift towards white as a coat because it so hard to keep clean at times but I much prefer it to the other colours. And it's so affordable at $36! I'm definitely going to purchase it before the end of the week.

This cape is available from Boohoo here

 
The Horse Watch

This watch is has been on my wishlist for a long time now I'm in love with it. It's a bit on the expensive side but I always see watches as an investment it's something I wear nearly everyday. I never heard of The Horse before and stumbled across this brand on Youtube (were I get most of my wishlist inspriation from) when I seen it in someone's haul video. I love the rose gold face with the grey leather strap, the websites offers a various colours for straps and faces if this combination isn't for you. I think this purchase is another few weeks down the line but hey I can still dream about it :)

Available from The Horse website here



Boohoo Pinafore Dress
 


This pinafore dress is another Boohoo item and although we're in the height of winter here in Perth I'm thinking ahead to Summer already. Having just come back from Summer (I use that term loosely) in Ireland pinafore/dungaree dresses are all the rage. I think this will be perfect with a plain white tee or even a striped number for chilling out on the weekend or even more shopping trips!

Available from Boohoo here

The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer
Last up is a make up item, I've have never tried any of The Balm products before I've heard so many people rave about the Mary-Lou Manizer that I'm dying to try it and see what all the fuss is about. It's pretty reasonably priced in comparison to the MAC highlighters so I'm hoping to pick it up over the next few weeks and see what it's like.

This product is available here


That's all for now, let me know in the comments if there's anything you've been dreaming about buying.
Thanks for reading,

July Favourites 2015

Hello everyone! After missing last months favourites due to being on holidays I thought I'd share some of the things I've been loving this past July :)

MAC Soft and Gentle

First up is this AMAZING highlighter from MAC. It's in the shade 'Soft and Gentle', which is kind of a bronze/gold colour and it gives the most beautiful glow to the skin. I've worn this mostly on nights out over the last few weeks and I can't get enough of it. I was fortunate enough to pick mine up in duty free when I was flying home for $38, it normally retails for $47 which is about normal for MAC products but I thinks it definitely worth the splurge

Maybelline Lash Sensational
Next, is a mascara from Maybelline called Lash Sensational and I literally haven't stopped using it since I got it. It spreads out the lashes so well and gives so much volume, I'm not the biggest fan of false eyelashes and with this mascara there's definitely no need for them. I've also read online that it's supposedly a dupe for Benefit's Roller Lash so if you're looking for a cheap alternative this is really worth picking up.

Dotti Nano Lace Up Heels


A fashion favourite of mine this month are these heels from DOTTI that I picked up in the End of Financial Year sales here in Perth. They're a copy cat for SENSO's Riley heels with a croc skin effect on them. These are without a shadow of a doubt the most comfortable heels I've ever owned! I've worn these on a couple of nights out recently and never felt the urge to take them off once like I usually do with some heels. And if you read my last blog post you'll know I have a weakness for any shoe that laces up.

TOPSHOP Joni Jeans


Another fashion favourite of mine is my Joni jeans from TOPSHOP. I had my eye on these jeans for awhile and was delighted with myself when spotted them on sale for $40 in the EOFY sales. These are the most flattering jeans, they are super high waisted and really suck you in in all the right places! I already owned the Leigh jeans and I think they are such good quality they wash really well and don't lose their shape and they can be dressed up and dressed down easily.

So that's everything I've loved this past month,
As always thanks for reading,
