My ASOS Wishlist: May Fashion Favourites

Okay, when did May even end?

It may have been in the flurry of final assignments so I do apologise for the slight delay of this post. However, as always, you will find my lust list, items that will either be me grasping at the memory of warmer weather or items to get me through the windy, rainy days that now consume my mid year holidays.

Shall we?

1. ASOS Padded Jacket in Fluro Jacquard

Papped Jacquard

Winter is truly here, after the challenge of finding something warm enough is trying to get it in a colour other than black, grey or navy. I am a huge fan of the all black outfit but it is beautifully refreshing to see some colour and patterns on a brisk winter morning.

2. Reclaimed Vintage Inspired Straw Tassel Clutch Bag

TasselClutch

So, I do love a tassel. It’s definitely more of a summer staple and rarely comes out in the winter but when you see something you love, it might not always be the perfect situation for it to enter your wardrobe. I will keep this in my wishlist for a while longer and if I still lust over it, even when I’m far away from my computer, I’ll buy it in anticipation of a warmer time.

3. Tommy Hilfiger Denim Multi Colour Sweatshirt

Sweatshirts are now far from being a just something you wear around the house while eating a bag of chips. If it was up to me I’d have a sweatshirt in every colour, to wear over jeans, over a ditsy floral dress or to go sports luxe and put on some trackies and crisp sneakers (a look I wish I could get away with wearing).

4. ASOS Stripe Beanie

Accessories are part of what makes dressing in winter so much fun. Layering up coats over jackets, as well as hats and scarfs, makes each of your outfits individual and exciting. This beanie I could see seamlessly fall into my wardrobe, especially with it’s pink+red combo which are the colour bff’s of the moment (in case you didn’t already know).

5. ASOS Highwaist Cigarette Pants

Pink pants

The fact I don’t already have hot pink pants almost makes me sad. Sad until I see how much of a bargain these are and how flattering this style is and then I think, maybe, just maybe, they should just jump out of my wishlist and into my basket.

6. ASOS PETITE CASTILE Pencil Straight Leg Jeans in Mono Stripe

Stripe Jeans

There is some part of my 90’s childhood wishes in these pants. I dreamt of jeans like this for such a long time and I just can’t seem to recall exactly where the obsession came from (Lauren Graham in Gilmore Girls definitely had a similar pair but is that the only place it stemmed?). The point I’m trying to make here is that it was an instant want with these. The array of punk inspired, 90’s grunge outfits that come to mind make me think these guys won’t be in my wishlist for long.

Plus, have you noticed how you need some pants other than denim as winter rolls in? Denim is always a good idea, even though it isn’t the warmest, but we need something to mix things up with the weather getting too killer for bare legs. Some pants, trousers and coloured denim are all I really need to mix things up.

I’m going to encourage you to subscribe and check back in on the blog soon because I’m in dire need of some winter attire and I’m going to do a nice Winter Clothing Haul blog soon, where I can show you all some of the things I’ve been investing in for Winter. This is going to be extensive (months worth of buying) so I look forward to sharing it with you all.

What’s on your Wishlist at the moment?

My Top 4 Ways to Wear the White Sneaker

Trends come and go: The classic white sneaker looks like it’s here to stay.

And here are my top looks for wearing comfy white sneakers any day of the week- every day of the week if you like.

1. Winter Layers – We are seeing a lot of winter layers on the streets for fashion week. By teaming your winter threads with some tight pants and sneakers you’ll be giving yourself the ultimate look of effortlessness, complete comfort and street style goddess vibes.

2. Jeans – ripped, skinny or boyfriend. Whatever form they come in, jeans are a girls casual best friend. How could you be more comfortable or fashionable than in your favourite jeans and white sneakers. This is not a look that will fail you.

3. Dress – I personally love dressing down a feminine item like a dress. Nothing is more playful than a dress and sneakers. Cool and feminine while also casual and chic.

4. All white – All black is always an amazing look, and everybody knows that. But pairing a white sneaker with an all white outfit is just the cherry on top for an amazing go to look.

Street Style Envy: Spring Inspo

Spring doesn’t feel far off now, in fact it’s only 5 days away, and this means big things for my wardrobe (and yours)!!

Spring to me means more colour, light layers and patterns. It’s also about fun accessories like sunglasses and hats, some of my favourites. Spring also means, no skipping a leg shave day, trying not to look like you’ve never seen the sun before and pedicures are practically a must. Extra work, but it’s all worth it to feel the sun on your skin and to invest in some new great accessories!

Here is some street style inspiration for you, so you can start thinking about what you want to see in your wardrobe in preparation for spring!

See you in the warmer weather

What to Wear to a Beach Wedding…how to look formal, but wear the pieces again!

Beach Wedding

Beach Wedding by pippa-macey

With the invitation for a beach wedding coming in the mail for the end of spring, it brings joy to me for the chances for my future shopping endeavours. Unfortunately I don’t have the budget at the moment to go all out and buy all amazing things that I may not get a chance to wear again. So my plan is to try and get some versatile pieces that after the wedding I can dress down and be able to wear again. Here is my current plan for the wedding and my guide on what to wear for a beautiful beach wedding!

I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for (to a degree) but when it comes to jewellery and accessories that I won’t get a lot of wear out of (I don’t go to many weddings, why…do you?!) I won’t break the bank in order to wear them twice or maybe three times. We need to prioritize. Pay more for the items you will get a lot of wears out of and pay less for items you know you won’t get a lot of wears out of.

My choices for this outfit are an effortless yet chic summer look. With a palette of red, gold and black, my make-up and hair inspo will be subtle but a little special.

We need to think about these things. These leather sandals have a thick heel so they won’t sink into the sand too much, plus they are already on my shopping list so this way I can justify the purchase! (Yay!)
This lovely flow-y dress can be dressed down quite easily with a light knit and/or converses. This means it won’t just look summer chic, it will be a versatile buy and plus this baby is under $100! Win-win.
While the choice of carrying a clutch tends to only happen on more formal occasions I’ve opted for a a colour combo I would wear a lot! This gold and black envelope clutch is only $30 and it would look perfect with a LBD as well! My go-to.
I chose to go with gold accessories with this dress as it felt more summery and warm, plus I’m not a big jewellery wearer (something I want to change) and this ring set is only $10.
Another cheap buy that will look great even with a casual summer outfit!

Street Style Envy: Winter Layers

As winter draws to a close, I begin to become sentimental as I think about the beautiful winter items in my wardrobe I will soon be saying goodbye to for another 6 months. I’m hungrily looking forward to the summer sun and dresses but I will miss the potential to make beautiful outfits out of winter layers.

Which is your favourite?
