The Wishlist: Spring 2014

The warmer weather has me craving bare legs and short sleeves. I'm usually a lover of autumnal type dressing, but prospect of summer has me excited for once. I've been loving the sport luxe trend more than ever, and some of these pieces would create the perfect balance of laid-back and chic for warmer-weather ensembles. 

1. Sport Luxe

Mesh, numbers, panels and striped sleeved everything is on my wish list. I'm not the biggest fan of the "chic tracksuit pants" aspect, but when it comes to jersey style tops I'm obsessed. There are so many offerings at the moment it's hard to narrow them down and make a decision, but you can be sure to see me rocking these pieces in the warmer months.

2. Sliders

I'm absolutely in love with the pair I already own and I find myself wearing them daily, so I've been wanting to extend my collection. They are much cuter than thongs and look much more put together, yet are just as comfortable if not more so. I would love some funkier ones like the holographic style featured above, but I'd also like some Birks for ultra-comfiness. 

3. Crystals 

I've always loved the aesthetic of crystals and geodes, and now that they're becoming a common feature in jewellery I couldn't be happier. I would love a pointed crystal necklace as I think there is just something so cool about them, especially worn around the neck.

4. Marc Jacobs Holographic Pieces

I would be over the moon with any of them, and while the silver collection is largely sold out, the coloured are just as pretty. I really need a new smallish pouch just for my cards and one of these would be perfect! 

5. Cateyed Sunglasses

In Australia sunglasses are necessary all year round because even in the winter the glare from the clouds is blinding. I have so many oversized shades, but am lacking in the cat eye department because I haven't been able to find my ideal pair. 

6. Phone Case

This kind of counts as an accessory in my eyes. I've been eyeing up the Rifle Paper Co 'city' themed cases and have my heart set on the Paris one. I would honestly be happy with any of their cases though, to be honest.

Tumblr Inspo #3

As much as I love creating my own photographs and writing about products, this is one of my favourites posts to do. I just enjoy collecting inspiring or aesthetically pleasing images and they really have no use sitting in a file on my computer, so why not share them with others?

I absolutely loved Kendall's look at the Billboard Music Awards, but I love all of her looks so it's really no surprise. Her outfit was to die for and suited her frame perfectly. Obsessed. Also, my coffee and sweets cravings have been super strong this week and I've found myself lurking through the iced coffee and donut tags on Tumblr more than I'd like to admit.

Exams are coming up in the next few weeks so I'm trying to pre-plan some posts to avoid disappearing completely.

My Winter Wishlist

Fashion

1. Sweaters
Sweaters are my absolute favourite item of clothing to wear. They take no thought, look good and are so comfy. Since I wear them almost every day in the winter I feel I need a few more in my rotation to avoid wearing the same one three times in one week.

2. Wax Coated Jeans
While I love the look of leather pants, I don't know how I feel about them on me. Wax coated pants are the perfect middle ground as they still have that edgy sheen, but also have the safe element of black skinny jeans.

3. Black Boots
I love bulky statement shoes, and Windsor Smith are great at churning them out. Any of their black boots would do for the winter, but I particularly love this pair.

4. Holographic Purse
I'm a really big fan of the holographic/futuristic trend. This bag is subtle and would make a monochrome outfit pop.

5. Quirky Flats
Every pair of flats I buy end up being dull and practical. I've seen so many cute designs on the internet and I want some!

6. Scarfs
Okay, this might be something I have enough of already, but I want more! I love dressing up my plainer outfits with scarfs.

Beauty

1. Narsissist Palette
This is no longer available in my country, but the whole point of making a wish list is to go a little overboard.  This palette really has it all colour wise and is perfect for travel.

2. Dark Lipsticks
I love the look of dark vampy lips, hence my last post. I keep going to buy them then realise I don't wear them enough to justify more than one tube of burgundy lipstick.

3. Dark Nails
In the summer I went neon and pastel crazy and now I'm looking for some darker colours. I really need a good black which has been hard to find.

4. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush
The colour of this is just gorgeous and I can imagine how perfect it would look on the cheeks. I really want to try a deeper, plumy blush this winter.

5. Dior Addict Fluid Stick
Something about these just speaks to me. I don't know whether it's the packaging or the product itself, but I want on of these!

6. Nars Radient Creamy Concealer
This is probably the most realistic item on the list in terms of me actually buying it. I am waiting for my MAC studio fix concealer to run out before deciding, though.

7. The Perfect Nude
Nude lips and I don't go together, at least so I thought. I've been loving the look of them on others more and more and am on the hunt for my perfect nude. The Too Faced lipsticks have such a wide range, they all look beautiful.

Random

1. Kate Spade iPhone Case
I love everything about Kate Spade, especially her accessories. They're so quirky, cheeky and fun. I particularly like this "Ciao!" design, navy and gold look amazing together.

2. Headphones
I'm in need of some good quality headphones as earbuds annoy me, but they're pricey and something I don't really want to splash out on for myself. The friends headphones are chic and high quality, making them the best of both worlds.

3. The Fault in Our Stars
Okay, this one isn't exactly a proper "wish list" item, but it's something I'm excited for this winter! It comes out in about two weeks and I can't wait to see it after how much I loved the book. I'm usually worried about movies butchering something I love, but if John Green loves it himself it must be amazing!

4. Makeup Bag
I have my daily essentials spread out over three small cosmetics pouches which is an issue. Make up bags can be kind of pricey so I've been waiting for one I love instead of buying the first one I see. I adore the Charlotte Tilbury one, but it's not available where I live!

5. Leather Banded Watch
I have a beautiful rose gold watch, but I've been loving the simpler look a black leather banded watch gives. I especially love this one from Marc Jacobs. It's a very classic yet chic design.

5. Leather Bound Journal
Ideally I'd use this to write down my thoughts, but even if this weren't to eventuate I still want a leather bound journal. There is just something about them I adore.

These are all items I've been looking at non-stop online or in store. It is definitely a fantasy wish list, but I decided to have fun with it  and not limit myself to a realistic amount of items.
