- September Wish List -

1. Boohoo tartan dress (buy here)
2. Topshop handbag (buy here)
3. Topshop pleather shorts (buy here)
4. Chicwish jumper (buy here)
5. Topshop leigh jeans (buy here)
Firstly I would like to apologise for the majority being Topshop, I ,like many, am guilty of loving topshop too much even with the sometimes unreasonable prices. The first topshop piece is a replacement pair of black leigh jeans, I got a pair around 3/4 years ago and I have worn them so much that they are now more grey than black so I think its time to get a new pair as I know I will wear them a lot now its staring to get colder. Continuing with topshop, the next thing I'm lusting over is this pale blue tote, I love that its so simple but the super pretty colour makes it such a great piece. The last topshop item is this pair of black lazer cut pleather shorts, these are such a cool piece and would look really great with a contrasting pretty jumper like the Chicwish one also on my wish list. I recently discovered Chicwish through watching a sunbeamjess video on youtube where she had picked up a few pieces, I instantly checked out the website because I love finding online shops that I didn't know about, as I try not to wear all high street stuff that everybody has, its such a good site and I literally love everything! Lastly I picked out this tartan dress from boohoo, its bang on trend but in a quite subtle way due to the navy and green pattern as apposed to the classic red pattern which can be a little out there and more difficult to style in terms of the colour scheme.

I hope you like my picks,

Talking Trends - "Any colour ... so long as its PINK"

According to this months British Vogue, pink is the colour of the season, there is a lovely 12 page spread featuring 'model of the year', Cara Delevingne looking stunning in various pink designer ensembles, with pieces by Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton. I have put together a collection of my favourite pink pieces from the high-street and online to make the trend more affordable and accessible to those of us who can only dream of designer labels.



1. Topshop dress (buy here)
This is such an adorable dress, actually quite designer looking in my opinion, its perfect for a wedding or formal party. Style it with white pumps like these, and a cropped white blazer like this (to show off your waist) then add a simple silver necklace for a pretty, classy look.
 
2. Topshop lipstick in macaroon (buy here)
If you don't want to make quite such a statement but still have a subtle hint of the trend, a pink lip is a great way to go. Wear with a super minimal make up look and simple outfit to really make the lip pop. 
 
3. EBay sun jellies in cherry (buy here)
I was loving my pair of navy jellies this summer, and I think this pink pair are super cute! Pray for some sunshine and wear with some denim shorts like these and a plain white cropped tee for a Kylie Jenner style look, or if you live in England like me and its starting to get cold trade out the shorts for mom jeans like these and add some white ankle socks.
 
4.Nasty gal dress (buy here)
I'm obsessed with this dress its so stunning! Its perfect for a evening out on holiday with some pretty metallic sandals like these and a light cardigan if it gets chilly.
 
5.American Apparel hair bow (buy here)
This little bow is so cute and is another way to wear the trend subtly, I feel like the colour is the cornflower blue of pinks! It would look really pretty against light blonde hair with a girly white dress like this and the look could be toughened up with some Jeffery Campbell's like these.
 
6. Topshop mom jeans (buy here)
Another way to wear the pink trend is by mixing it with another trend such as mom jeans, this baby pink pair from topshop would look awesome with a baseball style tee like this (which I would buy 1/2 sizes too big then tuck in the jeans for a slouchy look) and some white supergas.
 
7. River island stilettos (buy here)
Im not sure if I would be daring enough to wear these however I do think they a very cool and very kardashian/jenner-esque. Since they are such statement I would go with a dressed down approach to styling them with some boyfriend style jeans like these and a white tee.   
 
hope you like my picks do let me know what you think in the comments!
