Its all about the details: Today's Outfit


Hat- Supertrash
Trousers- ASOS
Shoes- Zara
Rings- ASOS
Watch- Daniel Wellington 
Bracelet- Etsy 

Thought I'd share the details of my outfit which are some of my favourite pieces at the moment. Off for an eye test, and looking forward to a new pair of specs. Sad, I know.. but I have my eye (pun wasn't intended) on a pair similar to those Zooey Deschanel's character has in New Girl. Happy Saturday!

I've decided every week I'm going to share a quote or picture that I find inspirational. Whether you all find this overly soppy or not, I don't know. But personally, I love coming across these beautiful words. So from this week, every Sunday night I'm going to bring you some inspiration for the week ahead. I won't comment on any of them after this, just going to leave you something beautiful.

Wishes and Wants #2

Hey guys! Just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported my blog so far. Its been incredible to speak to some of the lovely bloggers and I didn't think anyone would be reading my ramblings, so the love you have all shown me has seriously cheered a girl up. Anyway, enough with the soppy comments, I've got a few of the things I've been lusting for this week... Hope you enjoy!

Fashion

ASOS Flapper Hair Band- I feel like I've been waiting years for Baz Luhrman's Great Gatsby adaptation, and now its finally about to be released, I feel like I want to release my inner Daisy and get a fringe dress and beautiful hair accessories like this one from ASOS. Not too sure when I'd get chance to wear it, so I think it would become one of those "pretty to look at" pieces, which I could do with more of, right?!
Karl Lagerfeld Glasses- I'm due an eye test very soon and I'm on the lookout for some Jessica Day (If you don't know she is Zooey Deschanel's character in New Girl, Google it RIGHT NOW. I insist you watch it.) esque glasses. I came across Glasses Direct after a blogger posted a giveaway on them, so I had a quick look and they just have the most amazing prescription glasses which you cannot find in the high-street opticians like Specsavers.
Topshop Mono Tapered Trousers- Every time I wear printed trousers I feel like lots of people stop me and ask where my outfit is from, and it gives me the greatest feeling (Thank you to all the lovely ladies who show love for my clothes!) so, I want more. "They just jumped into my basket, the same way I just slipped and typed in my credit card details."
Zara Cowboy Ankle Boots- Every person should own a pair of ankle boots. I personally, own about ten pairs... but I can't stop buying them! I feel like I need a summery pair, and for the amazing price, these fit the bill.
All Saints Walker leather jacket- I have an obsession with biker jackets, but yet do not have a real leather one. This is the most perfect leather jacket I have ever laid my eyes on, and I would love whoever bought me this eternally.

Beauty











Origins Ginzing Energy Boosting Moisturiser- Saw a picture of Nina Dobrev at the launch of this new moisturiser, and being a HUGE Nina and The Vampire Diaries fan, and a huge Origins fan, I feel like I need this. I doubt it'll take long for this one to shuffle into my online shopping basket. I look forward to seeing you Mr Postman... (Revert. I actually ordered this after writing this post last night. Bad Molly.)
Dior Amber Diamond- Why is it that when you can't have something, it makes you want it more?! Well, I'm obsessed with looking for this. I just cannot find it ANYWHERE, and it makes me want it more and more, and more.
LDN: Skins Lotion Tone 2- I already own the Tone 1, and I love the formula, the mitt, the scent, just everything about this tan. I want a shade darker so that I can put one layer on and gain a deeper colour, as the other is much more of a gradual tanner.
Valentina Acqua Floreale Eau De Toilette- Got a sample of this with a Debenhams order, I found it the other day and couldn't stop smelling it, its just so beautiful, not to mention the amazingly beautiful bottle with decorative roses. I tend to only stick to EDP as the scent lingers for longer, but this one definetly has the lasting power of a parfum.

Other











Buffy the Vampire Slayer Complete DVD- I have an undying love for this TV programme, for ten years of my life. So it seems only fitting that I have them all on DVD. I did used to own nearly all of them, but on VHS (HA.. remember them?!)
Jodie Leather effect tub chair- Simple black armchair from Argos. Considering I'm not in college anymore, I want to put my iPad speakers on my desk and have it as a mini TV-area, and to do that, I need to get rid of my swivel chair and put in something comfier. This is just my cup of tea. Hint, family... hint.
Pretty Little Liars Season 3 DVD- My Aunty is actually going to America in about a month, and will be there when this comes out so will be bringing me one home. I'm very impatient, however, and I'm dying to get my hands on this!
Jensen Ackles - Okay, so this post wouldn't be very "me" if I didn't write something a little unrealistic or crazy. So yes, with my obsession with Supernatural bordering on addiction, I'm also falling in love with Jensen Ackles. Aim high, right?!

As mentioned in one of my last couple posts, I'm thinking of doing a few "Collection" posts. I'll probably be bringing you my vast (but still not yet big enough) DVD collection, my makeup collection, MAC Lipsticks and eyeshadows, and Essie Polishes. So keep an eye out for a look into how much of a hoarder I really am....

Birthday gift

Thought I would share this picture with you guys of my Aunts 40th birthday gift. I had planned to do a little DIY hamper style post, but I didn't get enough time as I put this together whilst making her a rainbow cake.

In the hamper is:
Pandora Angel Wings charm
Vampire Diaries Season 1 DVD
Vampire Diaries Book
Twilight Eclipse DVD (She's forever complaining of only having this on blu-ray!)
Mean Girls DVD (Can you believe she's never seen this?)
Hotel Chocolat Caramel Hearts
88 Eyeshadow palette
MAC Brush set
Maybelline Gel liner
Bioderma Crealine H20 Micellar water
Sleek brow kit in Dark
Xen-tan Dark lotion absolute luxe
Bourjois chocolate bronzer
Tangle teezer leopard
Bourjois nail polishes
Leighton Denny 4 in 1 Nail buffer
Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick
Rimmel Apocolips in Big Bang
Loreal false lash flutter
NOT SEEN (Color tattoo in Bad to the Bronze, Amazon mirror with quote "Wine, how classy people get shitfaced.")

As well as these gifts, I thought I would treat her to an amazing homemade cake. I am actually really good at baking, but I just don't like to cook, so my cakes tend to be a rare occurrence. Considering she's such a bloody amazing woman I thought I'd go all out, and make a pink rainbow cake (can you tell what her favourite colour is?!) and a batch of Rosie Londoner's slutty brownies. Both of these were absolutely delicious, so much so that my poor cousin ate so much and so quickly that he made himself sick. Big woops.

Wishes and Wants

My online shopping addiction means I have a never-ending obsession with creating mental lists of things I'd quite like to own. Here a few of the things I wouldn't mind getting my hands on...

Saw this top (or maybe a similar one) on Olivia Palermo, and she's a huge influence in what I buy, so I soon decided I wanted to add this to my vast chiffon white top collection. Another Zara pick, the infamous City bag, revamped with buckles. This version is much more up my street, and don't you think it looks more expensive than its predecessor? I tried this Topshop jumpsuit on in the Manchester Arndale store on Monday, I absolutely loved it, it just fitted perfectly and looked dreamy. I didn't get it however, because, the colour is really light in person, making me think will it become dirty soon as I sit down anywhere, and the price is pretty steep for a jumpsuit, because how much wear will I actually get out of it?! I think I'll be doing a "pros and cons" of this beauty before I make a purchase.

I have two pairs of ASOS sunglasses already, and you simply cannot beat them for the price, quality and the amount of different styles available. Plus, I've wanted some round sunglasses for quite a while, so these seem like the perfect pair.

I'm a big fan of scented candles, but the larger ones simply don't agree with me, as I think I may be slightly allergic so trying to get a clean burn is often hard, because I don't want to have them burning for hours, which makes me feel unwell. A candle with three wicks will surely make a clean burn easier? And with Spring (supposedly) round the corner, a citrus scent seems fitting.

As a huge fan of the Bumble and Bumble surf spray, hearing the news about the new Surf Shampoo and Conditioner sent me into excitement overdrive. These are out on May 1st according to Into the Gloss, who I found the images from. I will be amongst the other fans queuing to get my hands on these, I'm pretty sure they'll be a sell out!

Adding date to calendar. Right. Now.
