Wednesday wishlist #25

Another week means another wishlist. I'm always reading other people's blogs and getting inspiration for new things to buy myself. Regarding make up, I have a high-end make up wishlist as long as my arm. I treated myself to a Nars foundation recently and I've come to realise that you really do get what you pay for, so I'm going to treat myself every now and then to some more expensive products for my face.




As my love for silver rings has grown, my hate for cheap rings that leave your fingers green has grown. I've started to treat myself to more expensive rings that will last longer and have more meaning. So far I have a couple of Pandora rings, but next on my wishlist is a ring from The Great Frog. I've mentioned them on my blog before, and definitely featured some of their other rings in a wishlist, but this one is a definite favourite currently.

Empty Casket Crescent Moon Lariat Necklace - £9.00 
I've been a huge fan of Empty Casket jewellery for years. Their owner Lucy is so gorgeous (definitely check her out on instagram also @lucymagill_) and their cute witchy jewellery leaves me drooling every time I see a new product being uploaded to the site. I decided to place my first order the other night, for this gorgeous crescent moon necklace. I don't really need any more jewellery as I have loads already, but I loved how different, yet incredibly simple this was. I can't wait to wear it out :)

I only have one Tarte product, which is a blusher I won in a giveaway years ago. I must admit though, I do love it, but I've just never actually looked up any other Tarte products to see what they have on offer. I say this palette on Helen Anderson's July Favourites video, and then went on to watch some tutorials and fell in love a little bit. It has a highlight and bronzer, blusher and eyeshadows all in a really cute little palette with a mirror. I can't seem to find where to buy it in the UK though, so if you know then please let me know!

Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream - £25.50
I've been after an eye cream for a little while now and I've heard nothing but good things about this product. I use lots of Benefit make up but I've never tried a skincare product so I'll definitely be trying this out next time I'm at a counter!
I've said this before, but I only really tend to shop in Topshop if it's something that I really think is worth the money. Their stuff is always good quality so £12 for a basic top is a good buy as it won't shrink and have to be thrown away after one wear like some cheaper stores, but I can never really let myself spend £50 or £60 on a dress. This top though has a really cute detailing and I'll definitely be looking out for it next time I'm in town :)

 Topshop Feline Ankle Tie Sandals - £39.00
I like to get new sandals in the Summer and these ones are lovely. They're a little bit expensive for what they are, so let me know if you see any cheaper versions anywhere else! I love sandals that tie around the ankle though and would really like to find some this Summer.

Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon Colour-Morphing Eyeshadow Pencil - £19.00
The shade I'd like this pencil in is 'champagne diamonds'. I can't remember who's blog I saw it on, but it looks like such a quick and easy alternative to eyeshadow. This particular shade is gorgeous too :) 
This corduroy button-up skirt trend is one I've liked for a little while, but I wasn't sure which colour I'd like to go for. I bought a similar tan one from New Look recently in a more suede material and I love it, so I think this burgundy one would be perfect for the colder months. I love a bit of burgundy during Autumn and Winter, and this would look so fab with a black turtle neck sweater.

GoPro Hero4 Camera - £279.99
There's always some sort of gadget on my wishlist, and now that I've saved up for my Macbook - this is next! I've borrowed people's GoPros before and I've definitely decided I need my own. Now that I film 99% of the fun things I do, a GoPro is a must for those adventure and water scenarios.

La Moda Supa Dupa Fly Make Up Bag - £7.99
I've always had a thing for hamsa hands as my mum used to wear a hamsa hand necklace every day when I was growing up, but I've never really been that fussed by the print on any clothing. Saying that though, this month I managed to find a lovely Asos hamsa hand crop top (which I featured in a blog post here) and now I've found this make up bag from La Moda! :)


Thanks for reading :)
Are any of these on your wishlist too?

Wednesday Wishlist #24 - Download festival!

This weekend I'm off to Download festival and I cannot wait! I may have already purchased a couple of these things (they're totally necessary for the festival), but I do have lots of lovely clothes already to wear! There are so many amazing bands playing this year and I can't wait for a long weekend of sun, beer and chilling with friends! Is anyone else off to Download this year? If not, which festivals are you off to? :)
 

The Lair Leather Jeff Buckley Bag - £293.92
I have been obsessed with this bag ever since I laid eyes on it. Okay so realistically you wouldn't want to take it to a festival with you as it would probably get ruined, but I may have to treat myself to it on a payday soon! I love the Western feel with silver concho detailing - gimmie gimmie gimmie!

Regal Rose Night Chant Coin Suede Necklace - £24.00 
How gorgeous is this necklace?! I have lots of lovely silver necklaces already to layer up for Download, and this black suede one would be a perfect addition to my collection. It goes so perfectly with the bag and belt too!

Topshop Embroidered Square Neck Crop Top - £22.00
I go through stages of being obsessed with Topshop and then avoiding them for a while as their stuff can be quite expensive, but then I find a little gem like this and it makes me remember why I love Topshop again. It's a lovely simple little piece and I love the embroidered details.

Asos Black Ornate Jet Stone Belt - £18.00 
I've actally already bought this belt - I put it in my Asos basket the second I saw it! I've been after a Western or concho style belt for months now, and this is the first non-vintage/non-sold out one I've found!

Sienna X Instant Bronzing Gel - £12.00 
I've been after a good fake tan to use regularly and I've heard a lot of good things about Sienna X recently. Have you ever tried their products? They don't break the bank so I'm definitely going to give them a go! :) Also, do you know of any fake tans that would be particularly good for a festival? It would have to last a few days, not get streaky in rain etc!

New Look White Leather Ankle Strap Sandals - £24.99
I need some new sandals for Summer and these are so simple, yet so lovely. They might not be perfect for Download (the forecast includes lots of rain) but they'd be a great little pair of shoes for the rest of the Summer!

River Island Felt Oversize Fedora Hat - £28.00
Last Summer I got brave enough to start wearing fedora style hats... this Summer should I get brave enough to wear oversized fedora hats?! You can never have too many black floppy felt hats, can you?

Topshop Cherie Cateye Sunglasses - £18.00
Okay so I probably don't need another pair of sunglasses, but I don't have a cateye pair yet, and these are sooo gorgeous! :) I love the intricate little floral detailing in the corner of the frames too!
 
Dixi Sacred Moon Ring - £28.00 / Dixi Night Wall Fiery Labradorite Ring - £28.00
I've been a fan of Shop Dixi jewellery as long as I can remember, and each collection they bring out is even more gorgeous! I wanna end up with two hands full of their intricate silver and gem rings!

New Look Black Jersey Flared Trousers - £9.99
I've been after a pair of black flares for a little while now and I can't believe how cheap these are! You can wear them all year around - with a leather jacket and fur scarf during the Winter and with an embroidered crop top in the Summer! What are your opinion on flares? At first I wasn't sure, but now I love them! :)

Wednesday wishlist #23 - Now that I have a new job!

It's been a busy January this year, and even though I haven't actually 'done' much, there's been lots of things for me to do! I've been Spring cleaning my bedroom of clutter including clothes, university gear, old make up etc and it's time for a total overhaul. I've also been job hunting and I'm determined to get myself a full time job so that I can have some structure back in my life, as well as a decent pay check at the end of the month (I've had a couple of interviews for a job I really like)! To motivate myself, I've created a little wishlist of things I'd like to treat myself to when that first Payday does come, including some slightly higher-end and expensive items which I'll finally be able to afford!

Edit: This post was called 'The one for when I get a new job', but I've just had a phonecall to offer me the job I've been interviewing for! So yay, I'm now employed full time and starting Monday, I cant wait! :)



Benefit are launching a new mascara and I'm so excited about it! I'm in love with their They're Real mascara, although sometimes it is just a bit too much for a normal day, and it's really hard to get off in the evening! This mascara is launched in March and is based around hair curlers, so it curls your lashes without the need for eyelash curlers, and is less thick than They're Real. I've heard that you can pick up a free sample size of this in Elle's March issue so I will definitely be doing that! :)

I've been meaning to try this little magical product for a while now. Ever since I treated myself to the Naked 3 Palette I've wanted to buy some sort of eyelid primer to keep it in place all day and I've heard such good things about this particular one. I've managed to find the sample size on sale at Feel Unique for just £8 so I'm going to order that and see how well I get on with it!

Right so this product I'm literally 50/50 with. 50% absolutely love it and want to buy it, but 50% thinking 'Oh hell no, that price is ridiculous!' It's part of the Real Techniques new Bold Metals Collection which is a new luxury range created by Sam & Nic Chapman. I literally swear by the original Real Techniques brushes and they're basically all that I use. I just don't like the idea of spending so much on just one brush. Either way though, I know that this brush would be good, and the design of the new brushes is so gorgeous, so I'll have to think about whether or not I want to take the plunge! :)

Okaaaaay, I know that every man and his dog has this lipstick, but that doesn't stop me from wanting it also! I've been a lover of Mac lipsticks for years, and have built up a nice little collection, but nothing too ridiculous as no two colours are similar. My mum recently bought me back Faux from her trip to New York which is similar to Velvet Teddy, but I'm IN LOVE and have been using it every day. I want to get Velvet Teddy to see the difference between the two and decide on my favourite for future purchases :)

Right I actually need to ask one thing about this, can it be worn as a sports bra?! I absolutely love it either way and would definitely buy it as a bra for a lounge-y day (including the matching panties to go with it!) but I've just realised I'm actually not sure whether it's sportswear or not! When I eventually get a job, I'm hopping straight back over to the gym and signing up again. And obviously I'll need to buy myself some new gym-wear to motivate myself! :)

I have such a weakness for black shoes. In the past few years I've collected many black shoes, boots and sandals but no two are the same! I've never bought any black peep-toe boots before and I really love these. They're just a bit quirky and different to anything I own. You can't see properly in the picture but they have a chunky zip down the side too, and I'm in love!

Do I really need a small copper wire basket? The answer to that is probably no. Do I really want a small copper wire basket? The answer to that is definitely yes! I've been so inspired by Pinterest recently when it comes to home decor, and rooms with simplistic designs and a pop of rose gold or copper just do it for me! This is quite a bargain for what it is, and I'm just loving H&M homeware at the moment, thank goodness there isn't one near me or I'd have no money! You can follow me on Pinterest here if you're a pin-a-holic like me! :)

This would actually be the first ever high end foundation that I've purchased. Apart from a Mac foundation that my mum gave me once as it was too pale for her haha! I've heard nothing but good things about this foundation and I need to give it a go for myself. Have you tried it before, is it worth the hype would you say?

Ever since I went to Amsterdam this January as a Christmas present from my lovely boyfriend Joe, I've wanted to get the Pandora windmill charm to add to my bracelet. I don't have many charms on there as I like to get them when it's a really special occasion, and I feel like this was as we had such a fun time and we'd been planning the trip for over 5 years! Luckily for me, this charm is one of the cheaper ones as it's plain silver :)

Macbook Pro - £899.00 - £1399.00
What a very scary price range! I'm in need of a new laptop and I'm deciding to take the plunge and get a Macbook Pro. Obviously I wouldn't do it until I have a secure job and have been earning for a few months, but I've been thinking about this for so long. As I've mentioned in previous posts, my current laptop just can't handle Final Cut Pro, and I need to be able to edit my YouTube videos! Can anyone suggest which one I should purchase? I'd be using it for editing on Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, streaming and general laptop purposes. I'm very new to all of this!

Well I'm going to need a new watch to keep me on time aren't I?! I've never treated myself to a proper watch before and I'm toying between this gorgeous Marc Jacobs one and the Daniel Wellington one with a rose gold edging! Both are gorgeous with big round faces and simplistic detailing. Rose gold watches are so popular at the moment that there are loads of other options including this lovely one by Emporio Armani, but they're not the cheapest so I'm gonna need to do some proper thinking before I make the decision!

Although this seems like quite a lot of money for what looks like quite a thin unit, this is exactly what I need in my bedroom to just give it that final bit of organisation. I've been really good at sorting out things I need and don't need, but I have so many beauty products hidden in random places, and this would just fit them all together in organised shelves and drawers. It would fit the white theme in my bedroom perfectly and just tidy up the last few messy spaces!

Wednesday wishlist #22

Another Wednesday means another wishlist! Apologies for not posting much over the past few weeks, I've currently been interning for one of my favourite brands which has been really fun and exciting, and I will definitely be blogging about it this week! :) But now I'm back to reality and can do some blogging (and hopefully YouTubing) catch up before Christmas! This will probably be my final wishlist of the year, and it can also be used as a last minute gift guide, so I hope you find something you might like, or something you can buy for others as gifts :)




How gorgeous is this watch?! I've been obsessed with Olivia Burton watches for quite a while now, especially the pale pink straps and the hummingbird designs, but this one definitely tops them all! The white and gold design with the floral pattern just works so perfectly together! *heart eyes*

I've been on the lookout for a cute little eye mask for a while now and this one is super cute with the lace trim! It might not be totally necessary right now as the whole day seems to be pretty dark at the moment, but in the brighter months this is exactly what I'll be needing :) I ocassionally pop into Peacocks, but this year they have a fab Christmas gift selection so it's worth checking it out!

I absolutely love my Pandora charm bracelet and adding charms to it! I don't add them too regularly, only if I'm bought one as a present, or I really like one so I buy it myself! I know this charm is particularly expensive, I think it's because it has the gold centre, but it would be a lovely charm to wear through-out the Winter and colder months!

These Mac glittery cameo packages are literally my dream come true. I love anything cameo related and these are just so perfect! This one I've chosen contains a beige eyes eyeshadow palette, a mirror and a double ended brush... the perfect Christmas gift, or cheeky little gift for yourself! :)

I've tried (and loved) my fair share of candles, but these Diptyque ones keep popping up everywhere and I haven't had the chance to try one yet! They have a lovely simplistic look to them so they would look perfect on your dressing table or window sill. The scent of this one is described as 'a sophisticated blend of rose, ideally balanced by the cool fruitness of blackcurrent leaves' which sounds to die for!

I'm a massive lover of Mac lipsticks and have an ever-growing collection, and since I've seen these limited glitter casing edition lipsticks, I knew I needed to own one! The colour I've chosen is an oxblood/burgundy which is perfect for the Autumn/Winter season, and can be worn by any skin colour or hair colour!

This dressing gown has actually been in my wishlist since last year! I wanted this but decided to go for the £10 Primark version which is all white and obviously a cheaper material. I have loved it all year round (the added teddy ears make it the cutest item I own), but I've decided that I've worn it enough that spending the extra £30 on a more luxurious one would 100% be worth my money! :)

You've gotta love anything to do with pineapples and this little gold frame from Paperchase is no different. I found this in store when I was Christmas shopping recently and I can't stop thinking about it, which means that I most definitely need to go back and get it!

I've been wanting to try this concealer/highlighter for a while now as I've heard such good things about it! My eyes are generally very tired looking haha, and we all get dark circles, but sometimes even my higher end products don't seem to work as well as I'd like them to! I'd love to give this a go and see if it really is worth the hype :)

Lastly, but definitely not leastly, is this gold pineapple iPhone case from Skinny Dip. As I mentioned before, I really like anything to do with pineapples, but I've also really wanted to get an iPhone case with a see-through back so you can see your white iPhone and the little apple symbol. This iPhone case is a mix of the both, and doesn't break the bank, so is perfect for me!

Wednesday wishlist #21 - First of the Christmas wishlists!

As soon as Halloween and Bonfire Night are over, it's the start of the countdown to Christmas in my eyes. Even though I'm not feeling particularly Christmas-sy yet, I am secretly getting excited for the presents, and food, and spending time with my family! I'm gonna be writing a few Christmas wishlist and gift ideas posts, this doesn't mean that I'm expecting any of them, I just like listing down things I'm loving at the moment, and it might inspire some of you guys for your Christmas list. They're also a fab thing to send to my mother as Christmas present ideas! :)

I'm still obsessed with turtle neck jumpers and my collection is growing since last year when I first bought some. I have them in black, grey, cream, fluffy, short sleeved, long sleeved etc, but I actually don't have any patterned one. I love the simple stripes on this, and it would look so lovely with a plain black high waisted skirt. It's quite good value as Topshop sell high quality clothes :)

 Dixi Moon Child Bracelet - £16.00
My collection of silver jewellery is constantly growing but it mostly consists of necklaces and rings. I only have one silver bohemian style bangle that I wear so I'd like a few new ones to mix and match it up! This 'Moon Child' one by Shop Dixi is gorgeous! I love anything celestial and to do with the sun or moon so this is the perfect gift idea :)

I love chocolate orange. Terry's Chocolate Orange. Costa orange flavoured hot chocolate. I just love the taste and the scent, it's one of my favourite things ever. Last year I bought my first Whittard product and that was the white hot chocolate (which is also incredible) so when I realised that they also did an orange flavoured hot chocolate I knew it had to be on this years wishlist!

This is probably the only thing on this wishlist that I genuinely really want. I'll be a VERY lucky girl if I end up getting this and it'll be my main present from both my mum and my dad, but I've wanted this camera for sometime now and it's just been reduced from nearly £400 to £269. It's the perfect vlogging camera as it has a built in flash, microphone and flip up screen, and it's just generally a really good and aesthetically pleasing camera! :)

Charlotte Tilbury Mini Lipstick Charms - £29.00
I've only heard about Charlotte Tilbury recently and now I have a wishlist of her products as long as my arm! You may have seen that I featured a few of her products on my beauty wishlist here, and that included a lipstick. She revealed this week that was bringing out this gift set, which includes 3 miniature versions of her famous lipsticks - perfect for keeping in your handbag!

Dan and Phil Shop Whiskers Mug - £6.98
Okay so which of you watches AmazingPhil and Danisnotonfire? They're by far my favourite YouTubers, I could just watch them for hours on end and they bring me so much happiness! They've recently added some new bits to their online Dan and Phil shop, and I knew instantly that I needed this mug. It's super cheap and when you drink from it you get instant whiskers!

Topshop Tweed Lace Hem Mini Skirt - £38.00
This skirt is such a cute idea! I have quite a few tweed skirts to be honest so I might just sew some lace onto the bottom of one as this is kinda expensive for what it is, but how cute would it look with a little black turtle neck jumper during Winter?!

Lush Melting Snowman Bath Melt - £2.25
So now the Halloween lush products have been and gone, it's time to start getting excited about the Christmas ones! I have loads on my wishlist as I'm sure you'll see as the weeks come, but this little guy melted my heart (that sounded like a terrible pun!), how cute is he?! I'd feel really bad melting him in my bath haha! :)

I've been a fan of Flamingo Candles for ages now. They have the cutest little packages in their square jars with big flamingos on the front in so many colours and scents. I wrote a blog post about some I already own here, and then when I heard they were bringing out a Christmas range I went to go have a look, and I saw that they had a chocolate orange flavour! Oh my goodness, I need this in my life along with the Whittard chocolate orange hot chocolate... wouldn't that be perfect!?

Wednesday wishlist #20 - A beauty edition!

I've been incorporating beauty posts more and more into my blog recently and I'm really enjoying it. Since blogging, my small collection of beauty products has turned into make-up bags and make-up bags full of exciting products, and my wishlist just keeps on getting bigger as I'm hearing about bigger and better things! I decided that this Wednesday I should dedicate a wishlist specifically for the beauty things I've been lusting after recently, as there is quite a few! :)



Bleach London in the shade 'Rose' - £5.00
Ever since Bleach London launched a year or two ago, I've been itching to try out most of their range, but specifically the pink shade 'Rose'. But that was kinda impossible at the time as my hair was a dark brown. Over the months, I've transitioned into a blondie and think that now might be the right time! I've wanted pinky/purpley hair for years now, but this shade of Rose seems like such a gorgeous washy pink colour!

 Lush Blousey Banana Shampoo - £18.00
 When I was first looking in Lush for a shampoo to suit my hair, I was looking for the well-known and well loved 'Big', but after reading into it I decided that 'Blousey' was probably more what my hair needs. It's been made for dry hair like mine and is about moisturising and nourishing the hair, which my hair definitely needs after going blonde, and it smells of bananas which I love! :)

 Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette in 'The Vintage Vamp' - £38.00

 I have heard ridiculously good things about Charlotte Tilbury products recently and I would definitely like to try some out for myself! I'm in love with the shades in this quad eyeshadow palette, they're the perfect Autumn/Winter colours. The price is slightly off-putting though as I know that I could get another Naked Palette for this much, but the colours are so pretty!

 Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover - £4.99
 When it comes to painting my nails, and then removing the nail polish from my nails, I am super lazy! I like to leave them all chipped, haha not really but that's often what they end up like! I've heard really good things about this Bourjois nail polish remover. You simply put your finger into the sponge soaked in polish remover, twist your finger, pull it out and the polish has been removed! The perfect product for a lazy girl like me!

Benefit They're Real! Push Up Liner - £18.50
I'm a lover of a big old black cat flick when it comes to eyeliner, and I'm forever looking for the perfect product. I've tried thick felt tip pen styles, I've tried pot and brush styles, and now I'd like to try this Benefit push up style. I love their Benefit They're Real! Mascara so I have a feeling I'll love this too! You can get this product for free in this month's Elle so I'll definitely be picking that up! :)

Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter - £24.50 
My next lust is another product from Benefit. I've only really started using a highlighting product on my face in the last couple of years. I started off with Benefit High Beam but it isn't as noticable as a powder form, and then I've been using the MUA powder highlighter daily. I really want to try out this product, all the pictures I've seen where the person is wearing it, make them look so lovely and shiny!

Tanya Burr Individual Lashes - £5.49
I was a big fan of Tanya Burr's Lips and Nails collection, and I definitely want to get my hands on some of her lashes collection now! I've never tried out individual lashes before so I think these would be the perfect ones for me to invest in first, but the whole range looks lovely too!

 Lush Candy Mountain Bubble Bar - £2.75
The name of this bubble bar makes me laugh so much, it just reminds me of Charlie the Unicorn! (Anyone else? No?) I love the whole Christmas range that Lush brings out, and this is just one of many products I would like to try this year! With pink being my favourite colour, I bet this leaves the loveliest colours in the bath tub

 Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum - £43.50 
I've never really been one for expensive perfumes, I've been more than happy with my Britney Spears bottles (which still get me a surprising amount of compliments), Kate Moss and the occasional fancy bottle of something for my birthday, but this one is most definitely on my wishlist! I first heard of it through Sammi from The Beauty Crush, and I've since been in store to smell it and it's gorgeous!

Yet another Charlote Tilbury product has crept its way into my wishlist. I have quite a large lipstick range, covering from nude, to pinks and red, to dark burgundys, but I've been on the lookout for a 90s brown and I think this one is the PERFECT shade.



Thank you for reading :)

Wednesday wishlist #19

Another week, another wishlist! I am starting to get SO excited for Halloween, and Winter and (dare I say it...) Christmas! Okay I'm sorry, I know it's only October, but the cold weather makes me so excited for mince pies and sitting indoors with your favourite people! This week's wishlist is accidentally a bit of an expensive one, so some of the items will probably never be mine, but a girl can dream eh!


Right so I may as well start with one of the most expensive items! I saw this duster coat along with the gorgeous fur stole, also included in this wishlist, in Niomi Smart's latest YouTube video, and I knew that I wanted them both instantly! I'm hoping to find a cheaper dupe for this coat somewhere else, but a midi duster coat in black is at the top of my wishlist currently!
It's nearing the end of October and I couldn't have a wishlist without one of the Lush Halloween products! The one that looks most appealing to me is this cute little glittery pumpkin! I love pumpkins and can't wait to carve one this year, so I'm hoping I can get my hands on one of these guys next time I'm in town! :)
 
How lovely is this oversized fur stole?! I have a couple from last year but they seem so small in comparison. This one is really long and I've decided that I need it in my life! It's slightly more than what I would usually pay for a scarf but I know that I would get a lot of wear out of it!
 
 This is probably one of those wishlist items that I'm never gonna own, unless I get an amazing job or win the lottery, but I've fallen in love with this Daniel Wellington watch! I wear my gold Casio watch a lot but it doesn't go with everything. I would love this for my more formal outfits and occasions, the rose gold detailing is gorgeous!

 I'm all about the chunky heel at the moment, whether it be on boots, going out shoes, sandals... the chunky heel is the way to go! I need to invest in a new pair as I wore my beloved Topshop boots to Reading Festival and they got ruined. These ones really remind me of the Vagabond Dioon boots which I really wanted but could never afford, so these are a much cheaper alternative! :)

(Only £30.40 with discount code 'FloralDanielle')
I used to be obsessed with tea dresses and anything with a collar, but I haven't seemed to wear anything like that in a little while. When I came across this dress on the Motel Rocks website though I instantly fell in love. It's less girly and more grungey and I think it would look so lovely with the black duster coat, chunky boots and fur stole!

I need some new Autumn/Winter nail polishes, and I need some that will actually last! I kept browsing all the Essie polishes until I found two that I really liked the colours of and these two seemed like the perfect options. Dark burgundy and dark navy, the two loveliest of Autumn colours, I will definitely be ordering these two!

This is a bit of random wishlist item for me as I'm not much of a reader. I don't know if you ever noticed but I actually have a Bucket List tab at the top of my blog, and I'm trying to tick things off one-by-one. One of the items on there is to read 15 books, which I really want to start doing now that I've finished uni (ironic), and I'm going to be asking for a few books this Christmas! This one though, I've heard so many good things about. As you can probably tell from the title of the book, it's a self motivation book and I can't wait to see what it's all about! :) Let me know if you've read it!

Wednesday wishlist #18 - The first A/W wishlist of 2014!

Last week I wrote a guest blog post for the lovely Gem over at Flutter and Sparkle. Despite it being the end of August/start of September, the weather is already starting to feel like it's properly Winter. A few weeks ago I was fine in a tiny dress and kimono, and now thick black tights are still making me feel cold! I'm starting to browse Autumn/Winter clothes online more, and I'm definitely liking what I see, lots of lovely pieces I'd love to add to my wardrobe! :)


If you'd like to see where all these lovely bits are from, then head over to Gemma's blog for my full blog post including prices, places and what I think of them :) do remember to let me know what you think too!



Thanks for reading :)

Wednesday wishlist #17

Another week, another wishlist. This one is looking rather dark and gloomy seen as it's basically Summer, but we all know I don't really like to wear colour whatever the weather! I'm so glad that uni is all over now so that I can start getting into a proper blogging routine again, such as posting my Wednesday wishlists weekly and just generally being able to blog as often as I like. I'm also enjoying actually having the time to read my favourite blogs again which is nice :) Either way, here are my picks from this week:

I literally feel like the only blogger who doesn't have a Naked Palette set. Now I've finished uni and I'm gonna be earning some money again I've decided I'm gonna treat myself, but I don't know whether to go for the 1, 2 or 3, does anyone have any suggestions on which one is better? I have blonde hair and green eyes, and I wear anything from a golden nude to a black smokey eye, but I really can't decide on which one to go for!
This past term at uni I've gotten really lazy with dressing and just been chucking on loads of my old band tees, and I've really enjoyed it! I've decided that I really like wearing boyfriend tees again so I've been on the lookout for a couple of own-brand t-shirts to buy. I feel like independent brands are so much more original than Topman or H&M mens, and I came across Blitzed Clothing which I really like and they don't break the bank either! I love the black with the white font and the little daggers, it would look fab with a leather jacket and black skinny jeans!
I've been a massive fan of Regal Rose for years now and I swear their pieces are just getting better and better. I'm so in love with this necklace (and I noticed it even made a cheeky little appearance in Made In Chelsea last week too!) It would look so lovely toughening up a summer dress and a leather jacket or kimono.
New Look have definitely pulled it out of the bag this Summer with their S/S range and I want it all! It's making me really miss my New Look staff discount, there are so many lovely crochet pieces! This playsuit in particular could be dressed up or down so easily and I know I'd get loads of wear out of it this Summer! It's such a bargain price too! :)
How cute are these little cactus candles?! There are three in a pack and would make the cutest little gift, I don't think I would want to ever light them though!
Just like every other blogger, or person my age probably, I've been on the lookout for some Birkenstock dupes. I can't quite afford the real thing yet as I haven't got a job yet since finished uni, but these ones I've found from Next seem to be the next best thing, and for only £20 I might have to get the black and the white pair! :)
This is another product which I have just heard non-stop about through the blogosphere and I really need to try it out for myself! It's supposed to take off your eye makeup really well, and also works as a cleanser too, but is so cheap! My housemate has started to use it and she swears by it too :)
Oh God, the further I get down this blog post, the more I realise that I'm influenced so much by what other bloggers and YouTubers say! The final product is also one that I've heard non-stop about recently and I would really like to try them out myself! This is also something I'd have to treat myself to when I get a job - the gorgeous set of Zoeva make up brushes! They're supposed to be amazing quality, and they're Rose Gold which is my favourite! :)



Thanks for reading :)

Wednesday wishlist #16

Hey guys :) yet another Wednesday wishlist, as I wish for way too many items and never have any money! I actually wrote this wishlist post a few months ago for a fellow blogger as a guest post but it never ended up getting posted so I thought I may aswell post it on my blog instead! :) I ended up buying the candle, kimono and Tangle Teezer, and they were all so worth it!




Get 20% off MotelRocks.com using discount code 'floraldanielle' and making the dress only £28.00 :)
I am still so in love with this print! I have already bought myself the long sleeved crop top and pencil skirt in this pattern, but I think I'm going to have to invest in this dress too! The skater style is really flattering, and the back is tied up with an open lacing detail!

How cute is the detailing on this candle case?! They do them in all different colours and flavours, but for Christmas I think the warm vanilla sugar flavour sounds gorgeous! I'd also love to get my hands on the Pink Lemonade scent!

I don't own many Mac products (a few lipsticks and one foundation to be precise), but after trying my friends concealer, I've decided to take the plunge! It was so thick and covered up any dodgy areas on my face, and you barely need to use any so it would last for ages!

I absolutely love the Kate Moss for Rimmel lipsticks. I wear the red shade 01 and the nude shade 08 on a daily occurrence, and this purple/burgundy shade is next on the list!

During Summer I was on the look-out for a nice kimono, but I just couldn't seem to find one anywhere, so I came to the conclusion that I was just going to have to make my own! I recently stumbled across this one on Select, which I have to admit I never shop on, so I was really pleasently surprised! This is literally the exact type of kimono I was looking for! Burgundy velvet with a lovely pattern and fringing - perfect! And such a bargain price too :)

I already had Tangle Teezer in pink but it seems to have ran away! I'm sure it's either at my mums, dads, boyfriends or at uni, but I haven't been able to find it in months, and I need it to keep my hair under control so I'm going to have to invest again! I really can't explain how good these are, I didn't understand the hype until I bought one myself, it really does untangle your hair so gently, whether it's wet or dry!

Lastly, but definitely not leastly, is this gorgeous ring from Dixi! If I could afford to buy all of their rings, I definitely would as there are so many lovely ones! I particularly love this one as it has a really boho feel to it, and I love the three different coloured stones in it :)





Thank you so much for reading guys :)
