My Birthday Wishlist | 2nd March

Only 1 day away and I will be turning 23 on the 2nd of March. Such a good excuse to have put together a wish list of some birthday goodies and hopefully give some of you an idea of what to get for a Birthday Girl! *Although of course it is based on my liking*.

. . . because every girl can dream, right?


*Disclaimer: I decided to put this wish list up a day before my birthday because, for those that are aware of my blog - it would mean that this would be more of a hint for what I would like for my birthday and that just isn't my style.*


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
1. I have been on a rampage searching for casual black booties for a versatile wear, because although Spring is nearly upon us I still like to style Spring outfits with ankle boots and most importantly, in black. I am also in love with my River Island gold buckle, cut out ankle boots, so I am in need of a couple more different pairs and these are great because they have silver detailing which means I would then own a gold and silver pair! 

2. Mascaras are a daily wear product for me and I havn't fallen in love with a mascara product since  L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara which was quite a while back where I also did a review post here on all my current mascaras at that time. This product is constantly raved about that I just feel the need to try it out myself! 

3. Perfumes are another daily wear product of course, for me anyway and I think its that time where I need a new perfume as the last time I bought one was December'12 from River Island called Paris. This new scent from Jimmy Choo is divine just like their other perfumes that I also love but with this being the latest edition me thinks it is an edition to add to my perfume collection! 

4. I treated myself to a beautiful black coat last Winter from Dorothy Perkins which was above the £50 mark and it wasn't until I realised that most of my bottom wear is usually black and it doesn't look great to match a black coat with black bottoms all the time (I do own other colour coats though). This is why I am quite annoyed I spent that much on a coat that wasn't really beneficial although I have tried to make good wear out of it. I have been on the hunt to find a grey marl sort of colour because this - I love but sadly its also above the £50 mark. But who knows.. one day maybe.

5. Another product that is continuously raved about is the Urban Decay Primer Potion but I don't really tend to wear eye shadow unless I am going out somewhere different than the casual stroll to town so when I do I would like to go all out and make sure I've got a good base and a great palette to use on top. I would rather love to see the awesomeness of this product and even better, it can also be worn alone! 

6. I have seen these little beauties on Beautycrush on her '3 Date Night Outfits' video on YouTube and although she has amazing legs and I don't these shoes look a m a z i n g and i n c r e d i b l e and I love the shape of the heel and platform and also the nude colour because I find that the nude coloured strap elongates the leg even more!

7. It's not often that I curl my hair as I have natural curls but they tend to frizz out and what not so when I do leave my hair naturally curly I tend to use my GHD straighteners to define some of the curls a bit more. But this isn't fun and its gets get a little irritating so I have been longing for a curling wand because they are so handy and easier to use than curling tongs which I have also experienced. Its just a must to add to my electrical hair appliances! 

8. Big lover of board games but a hater of losing :D I have played this a few times back at University which was so much fun and ever since I have just really wanted it because board games are a must in my life, I mean who doesn't love a good board game. The last board game I got was Logo which is brilliant! However, it only ever usually consists of two people playing - myself and my other half but its still fun until I lose, if I lose that is of course!

9. At first I was pinning for any good nude/natural, matte eye shadow palette and I did have my eye on the Urban Decay Naked palette until I saw some reviews on the Smashbox Palette that I knew I had to have it because honestly I don't rate the Sleek Palettes that I currently have! 

10. So there is a Music Festival coming to Birmingham near me in June '13 called the Wireless Festival - check out the link and see the line up!!! Another must - I have to go! I have never been to a music festival as much as I have always wanted to the whole camping out isn't me I think but this is near me and it means I can still sleep in my comfy bed! 

 11. Last but not least another casual and versatile pair of black ankle boots to add to my collection of boots because I'm non stop wearing out my River Island booties! 


For those March birthday people - I wish you a very happy and fun filled day! And for those who are not - Happy 1st of March!!


Enjoy your weekend !!

Weekend Wishlist #02



This top rated eye cream has been on my wishlist ever since I saw it on so many blog posts and You Tube videos. I have currently been using M.A.C Fast Response Eye Cream, which has done me wonders as can see the improvements where my concealer doesn't crease and become dry. I have now ran out and would love to try this raved about product to see what the hype is all about.

I remember when this Palette was coming out and I mentioned it once or twice to my lovely boyfriend who decided to surprise me with it and even better, it was my shade! I have used it ever since but it was only last year that I began using this everyday rather than just using it here and there. I also put away my M.A.C Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer that at least I thought I loved until I used this. What's even better is that I have used all the shades in this palette making it worth the price - (which I don't think is bad).

I wasn't even merely looking for a Leather Jacket, it was only since I came across this in the RI store and tried it on and fell in love and as I always tend to fall out of love with my most worn coats/jackets I believe it is the time to upgrade. Black leather jackets - so versatile! 

I saw this mug in the Disney Store and I just think I fell for the colour more than anything. I love this Lilac colour, that's all I can say! Oh and that it would be so lovely for soups seeing as I'm not a hot beverage addict. 

Lush always have something exciting when its an occasion! I was searching through the website and found this little cutie but it wasn't even the fact that it was a Valentine special more that it has little hearts inside!

It's a must to have a basic, sort of natural everyday palette in my make up collection because the ones I have currently are not doing anything exciting for me and again another product that is continuously raved about makes me want it more. 




*My bad for the delay. Sorry*

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Weekend Wishlist




1. Waterstones | The Fault in Our Stars | £5.59
I have been searching for a good book for ages and finally I stumbled across a review on this book and I found so many more reviews that loved the book but without the reviews I was taken by the blurb as it reminded me of 'It's Kind of a Funny Story' - By Ned Vizinni.

2. Topshop | Mini Angled Holdall Bag | £36.00
I previously bought a holdall like this from Topshop also in a burgundy, cream and black mix of colours, very similar. I just fell in love with it as they are great sizes and the neutral colours will go with my style.

3. Jo Malone | Orange Blossom Home Candle | £39.00
The Jo Malone products, especially the candles are quite raved about as I have seen many times and it was about time that I purchased one as my love for candles are forever burning ;) so maybe who knows a treat :/ I went for the Orange scent because the citrus smell is one of my favourites.

4. H&M | Black Boots | £24.99
These plain simple and versatile boots will be amazing for casual wear or to dress down an outfit even but even better perfect for the rain but to me an all year round product.

5. New Look | Pink Double Pocket Mohair Textured Longline Coat | £54.99
Pastels for Winter are great, still showing your true colours can be quite fun during the dull season and I own very bright or dark colour coats nothing in-between so this would be perfect but quite expensive as I spent enough on coats last December.

6. Regal Rose | Noah. Antique Silver Rainbow Moonstone Ring | £15.00
Another item I have never owned - a Regal Rose ring I have my eye on many but sadly those of which that are sold out!! *Awaiting to be notified*




What have you been lusting after this week or month?

Cut out boots



Three things I love about cut out boots



  • Edgy look to spice up an outfit *buckles and gold detailing*
  • Comfortable
  • Wear all year round


I am so loving the cut out boots this season, these bad boys are big on trend after making quite a statement in the short summer we had in the U.K. Even better for my favourite season, Autumn/Winter 2013 they are bigger, better and bolder :) so flaunt a bit'a flesh haha. 
I love winter wear because its all layers and more layers but these cut out boots just knock that out the window with its cut out style! 


I've put together a collection of cut out boots from different places on the internet to give you an idea of what is out there, with a little description by me along with my verdict.




£68.00
Suede boots can get muggy in this kind of weather so I try to stay away from these. They are different to the rock and roll look as there more feminine with it being a pointy toe style. I feel like the pointy toe also elongates the front of the shoe making the foot look big from the side. However the gold buckled straps are different to the others that I have seen which are really pretty but again I prefer the bold look. Also unsure of comfortability, looking at the collection this pair do not have a platform heel which I tend to find difficult to wear all day.
 
Verdict: 3/5



  • £65.00
First point > Expensive boots! I think these are a lovely pair of boots again different to some others considering the unusual cut out shape, gold toe detailing, two different buckle straps, and the detail on the back of the boots. I do feel like the gold toe detail elongates the shoe and making the foot look longer.


Verdict: 3/5



The more grungy look! I love it, I love the placement of the gold detail and the fact that they are available on Ebay makes it even better as I am ever so gutted about missing out on the Topshop Anchor cut out boots but these make it that little bit less painful! 

Verdict: 5/5
 * W I N N E R * 



£24.99
Best choice for versatile wear because there are just so many different types out there and so the fact that they are just a pair of the classic Chelsea boots but they are a lot snazzier with cut out detailing and gold buckles. Great in the rain too - fabric wise, not in including the cut out of course and easier to clean then suede.
(Dupe: 7. Shanwee Leather Buckled Cut Out Boots In Black)
Verdict: 4/5


£40.00
A little less crazy than some, very plain old Jane for the price. Again, similar to the classic Chelsea boots with silver pin buckles.
Verdict: 2/5


£30.00

Again, another kind of Chelsea styled boots in Suede material with plain Jane silver pin buckles. I must say I do love the cut out detail and although they are not quite as pointy as the Topshop ones (N.o 1) they give it a much nicer feminine look, very casual but easy to glam up an outfit for evening wear.
Verdict: 4/5


So what is your verdict?



Also, I recently found these two low-heeled pair of cut out boots that I believe are very swanky.

Have you got your eye on any?
