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

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

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

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

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 ASOS Wishlist: March Fashion Favourites

ASOS for me is a one stop shop, where I can find all my fashion needs. First place I look if I’m in need of a wardrobe refresh is my always loyal pal, ASOS.
Every month, I like to reassess my wishlist, looking at items I’ve kind of got over and delete them, and set aside items that have been there the longest, using these as the items I know will stand the length of time in my wardrobe.
Here is March for you.

It’s a confusing time. The days here in Melbourne are ranging from 10-35 degrees Celsius, which means your body and your mind can’t decide what items it wants. So you will see a nice array of fashion pieces here that I was loving all this past month.

Miss Selfridge Petite Check Gingham Top Co-Ord

Gingham is going no where fast, investing in a few gingham pieces will never be a bad choice. This top is beautiful with its eyelet lace details. As part of a co-ord it is beautiful too, but I’d love to punk it up a bit and put it with distressed skinny jeans and buckled boots. Don’t tell me you can’t see how great that would be.

2. Santa Cruz Boyfriend T-Shirt With Screaming Hand Back Print

Graphic Tshirts have always been a love of mine. Some of the skate brands have some of the best graphics on the market. Trends are great for making a certain style more accessible. Santa Cruz screaming hand graphics can be epic, and this one is a definite winner. Perfect for a lazy day where your graphic tee does all the hard work for you. Some sneakers and jeans in any style will make this tee a simple winner.

3. ASOS RIDLEY Skinny Jeans in Washed Black with Skater Flame Print

These jeans were an instant love for me. I’m noticing myself pick items with something extra going on. Who wants two dimensions when you can have three?

Give me flame covered jeans over regular jeans any day!

4. ASOS 90S Round Sunglasses With Yellow Coloured Lens

Yellow lens are channelling this 80’s vibe that has been around a lot this season. Whether you want to go all out and team these with a band tee and flared jeans, or a sweet summer dress, it doesn’t matter. They do a lot of the talking for themselves.

5. River Island Denim Trucker Jacket With Poppy Embroidery

This baby was in the new in section of ASOS and sold out very quickly. You can check out River Island’s online store here to try and snag this baby. Otherwise let’s all wait for this perfect combination of feminine and masculine style come back in stock shall we… Let’s hope there are some more of this limited edition greatness coming back soon.

6. The March Strappy Heeled Mules

Mules are another trend that just doesn’t seem to be disappearing. I’ve got my eyes on these because the patterns caught my eye, the black and white will make them effortless to style and not to mention, they can be dressed up and down.

They are almost making me forget the fact that winter is on it’s way and soon enough open toe shoes will be almost a no go.

Thanks for stopping by,

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.

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 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.

SHOES: Leather sandals by Zu

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!)

DRESS: ASOS Kimono Flippy Dress with Stitch Shoulder Detail at ASOS

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.

CLUTCH: Calla Envelope Clutch in black/gold

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.

RING SET: Textured Fine Ring Pack in gold

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.

NECKLACE: Thick Knot And Tassel Necklace in gold

Another cheap buy that will look great even with a casual summer outfit!

My Wishlist: The First of Many…

My Wishlist by pippa-macey

Since discovering Polymore I have been in love, my obsession with compiling lists and collaging has met and allowing me an outlet to share whatever I want.

Here is my current wishlist. I call it a wishlist, not a shopping list, because while most are within my price range most will only end as a dreams not actually in my possession. Sigh…

BRA: For Love Lemons Black Bralette
As if my obsession with For Love and Lemons wasn’t enough, I also love these bralettes, no matter who makes them.

HEELS: Black Heeled Sandal

Thinking ahead to the warmer weather I think these will be my go to shoes. I’m so short I need the height but fear not, with a thick heel like this I can wear them all day long.

SNEAKER: Converse Black Sneaker

I’ve always loved the faithful converse, unfortunately mine are far past loved and I’m need of a new pair!

BACKPACK: MANGO Drawstring Bag
Uni is hard enough without having to cart around my books in a tote bag. I’m in need of a sturdy yet fashionable backpack for carting my goods.

WATCH: Larsson Jennings Black Watch

While the brand of the watch of my dreams doesn’t bother me I do love this style! A black band feels like a must for me!

BRACELET: White House Black Market bracelet

If this shopping list was actually me shopping this would have been an impulse buy. I’m needing to update my jewellry collection and there is no doubt this wouldn’t have caught my eye and ended up mine!

SUNGLASSES: Oversized Black Sunglasses
Black sunglasses. I don’t need a reason.

LIPSTICK: Matte lipstick by Estee Lauder

Lipcolours for every mood. For me and for everyone

HAT: Silver Haze Fedora
Lack of Color have the nicest fedoras on the market. My favourite is this grey hue with the short brim. It’s my pick for my spring wardrobe.

Which is your favourite?
