Wednesday wishlist #11 - And an excluse 20% discount off the black lace cami!

This is my second of probably many A/W wishlists as there are so many gorgeous things to buy at the moment! Even though I'm skint and I have nowhere nice to wear any new clothes because I'm a third year fashion student who is constantly tied to my sewing machine, it doesn't mean I can't window shop/procrastinate and make loads of wishlists of the things I plan to buy when I finish uni and get a full time job!


Primark doesn't actually have a website that you can buy off yet, so I just linked to the current website where you can see new products and the prices. I really wasn't too fussed about these tartan dresses when I first saw them, but the more I've seen them on people, the more I've decided I'd actually quite like one!

I've been after a few black staple pieces to go into my Autumn/Winter wardrobe that I can just grab and layer in a rush but that will still look nice. I love the simplicity of this dress yet the lace insert and triangle back are just gorgeous!

Edit - Since posting this blog post, I was contacted by 'In Love With Fashion' who have given me and my readers an exclusive discount code for this black cami dress! Get 20% off with discount code 'floraldanielle' - ORDERED!

I've also been on the lookout for some high waisted tailored trousers for this Winter as the leggings and tights just aren't keeping me warm! I'm really fussy when it comes to trousers and can never find any that I like, and now that I have, they're nearly £50 boo!

I've recently become obsessed with silver jewellery (as previously mentioned here) and I've been trying to start a little collection of real silver jewellery as I hate having to take my rings off when I wash my hands just so that they don't rust! The clear stone is the April birthstone and I actually love how it looks.

So these boots would definitely have to be an investment buy, and I'd have to save up for them, but ever since I've seen them on Lily Melrose's blog, I just cannot stop thinking about them! I have a few pairs of black boots but they don't seem to keep my feet warm in the Winter and always let the rain in, where as these look like they would be warm and sturdy! Maybe one day ;)

Okayyyy so this would definitely be another investment buy, but how cute is it?! I have always loved the rings from this company, but after seeing Sammi from Beauty Crush wear hers, I realised that it's actually a lot daintier and cute than I thought, which makes me want it even more!

I've been lusting over all the lovely fluffy cardigans on the Missguided website for a while now, and I've decided I'm gonna have to take the plunge and buy at least one! I think I like this one the best because it's long sleeved and looks so, so snuggly and warm.

Our final Halloween at uni - Zombie nurse costume!

I hope you all had an amazing Halloween! Sadly this is the last Halloween we'll all be having at uni cos we're in our third year, so we made sure we made the most of it! One of our neighbours had a house party, and we live in four level houses, so they made it into an epic 'Tower of Doom' and had challenges on each level, including pitch black tunnels, wheels of misfortunes and horrible shots! It was literally so much fun and I want to dress up every single day! I ended up going as a zombie nurse and only wore one contact lens which actually gave a really creepy effect!


Nurse outfit - Smiffy's Fancy Dress
Hair extensions - Glam Belles*

I've recently been wearing these gorgeous hair extensions and I love my new longer hair! I shall get a review up on the blog for you guys soon :)

Wednesday wishlist #11 - A French Connection wishlist :)

Once in a while it's fun to do an expensive wishlist. The kind where if you won the lottery, you would go out and buy it all the next day, but right now you'd have to save up for it! With this freezing weather approaching, I've been wearing my leather jacket non-stop with my big fur scarf, and I'd love to get myself some more leather, fur and knitwear!
 

How gorgeous is this coat!? If I had unlimited funds I would buy this straight away. I love that it's half fur and I love all black coats. It looks like it would be so snuggly for the walks to uni too!

I'm absolutely in love with the colour of this jumper. I have lots of vintage granny jumpers but I don't have many nice ones which could be worn for a more formal occasion, and this would look so lovely for a Christmas meal with a statement necklace.

This dress really makes me think of some you could wear to a Christmas party and I'm so excited for the Christmas season! My favourite style of dress on the website are the sleeveless dresses from French Connection

I need to eventually invest in a real leather belt as all the cheap black ones I buy seem to fall apart! I love the simplicity and the colours in this one, and as its real leather it would last forever!

I've always been a bit too scared to even try on, let alone buy a leather skirt, but I have totally changed my mind on them and decided that I love them! I'm gonna keep my eye out for one this Winter and maybe even buy it! I love the matte look of them, and it would look so lovely with the pink jumper!

I'm loving fur nowadays, faux of course. I have a giant brown fur scarf that I wear most days, and I have just ordered a big brown coat from Asos which I'm excited to receive. This is so much cuter than the usual boring black clutch bag I own, now who wants to give me the £100 to get it?!

Sunday summary #6

I haven't actually done a Sunday Summary post since the middle of Summer, which was ages ago! I have been super busy with my fashion course this year, which I'm loving but it really is hard work. I'm only into week 3 but it feels like I've been back and working hard for months! Alot of these photos are 'fashion student' photos so sorry if they're all a bit same-y, but that's literally my life right now haha!


 Me, Amy and all the other fashion girls had a girly food and drinks night at the American Diner :)
The fabrics I found on my trip to London, I love them all, how am I gonna pick the final ones?!
This is what most of my days consist of - fabric manipulating in the studio!


I can't stop pinning on Pinterest recently too (follow me here) and this made me laugh so much!
I've been trying out some ideas on the laser cutter at uni, how cute are these paisley cut-outs?
After a long day of uni work, I love sitting down to a Ryan Gosling movie ;)


Coming up with fashion designs using jellyfish as inspiration.
My little fashion section in the studio, I love my floral apple pin holder!
The new ADTR album has been getting me through the days recently!


Nothing like a freshly made bed! I love my Cable and Cotton lights! (Full review here)
I got sent these gorgeous Bloom and Wild flowers for my uni room. They fit in the letterbox! (Full review here)
Skull mug and dissertation preperation!

Winter is definitely coming! Fur coat and thick black tights!


My lovely little cactus pots from Ikea, such a bargain too!
I've been wearing all my Summer dresses with a long sleeved top underneath!
Eventually got hold of the Real Techniques 'Core Collection' and I love them!


I love my moon and star ring from Dixi, and how cute is my dog haha?
Moomin pajamas, could you get any better?!
Festival fingers from Dixi, Little Teacup, Waiste and Casio watch!


I want to start adding in my favourite songs or music videos of the week into my Sunday Summary posts. I absolutely love the video to the song, it's so cute and funny at the same time!

Wednesday wishlist #10 - The first A/W wishlist this year!

Autumn is definitely here, with the footpaths covered in brown and yellow leaves, so it's probably time I got my hands on some velvet and fur! I've been so busy with uni work that I've not really had any time to go shopping or lust over any new clothes, but I've still come across these goodies and it's making me so excited for Winter and Christmas!


I wouldn't usually spend this much money on a coat, but it would definitely be an investment and could be worn year after year. I've been looking for the perfect for coat for months, and this might be the one! I'm gonna pop into town when I have some time to try it on and the student discount at New Look always tempts me ;)

I'm sure you've all heard of MUA make up by now, but if you haven't they're a super cheap brand exclusively to Superdrug. I have previously invested in a few of the eyeshadow palettes and I'm in love with them. I've been meaning to get a powder highlighter for a while now, as I do love my Benefit High Beam, but I wanted a change. This has been compared to both Benefit and Mac in how good it is, so for only £3 you can't really go wrong!

I am literally in love with this kimono! I fell in love with kimonos over the Summer and thought they would only end up being a Summer thing, but this one is gorgeous and I could see myself wearing it to a nice little Christmas meal. I was obsessed with velvet and devore, but then I went off it, and now I'm obsessed again! I'm not too keen on leopard print though, so I might try find myself a fabric and try making myself one from scratch!

I recently bought a black lace bra from Topshop and now I don't wanna go back! They're literally the comfiest things ever, and not too expensive! I love the colour of this one, it's really Autumny :)

I lalalalove this top! The fringing, the velvet... It's a bit more pricey than I would usually spend on a top so I need to go in store to try it on and see if it's as lovely in the flesh!

I wouldn't usually ever spend £30 on a ring, but this is literally the coolest thing ever! It opens up so you can keep something tiny in it (or some poison obviously!) I really want to try and find myself a cheaper version of something like this!

The shade of this nail varnish looks like the perfect Christmas nail polish. I love the material on the lid too! I found this on the Motel Rocks website randomly, so I might have to make a purchase next time I order from there. (Also, get 20% off MotelRocks.com using discount code 'floraldanielle')
