Summer/Holiday fashion wish list | 2014

Hello Everyone! 
I hope you are all well and having a good start to June - supposedly the start of Summer!
So today I am here with a wishlist including some fashion items that I have my eye on or am looking to buy something similar too.  As you will see I have taken some items and given a few examples for them as I like a lot of things at the moment.. hahaha.  Now I have a lot of things that I have seen that I love however here are just a few of my favorites which I would love to purchase in time for the summer and before I go on holiday.  
Links to each item are linked throughout!
I hope you enjoy :)

First off is a white leather jacket!
I absolutely love my black leather jackets however I have found myself not wearing them as much as I would in the Autumn/Winter time as I am not keen on dressing so dark in the Summer.  Recently I have seen a couple of white leather jackets on clothing websites that I love however they mostly seem to be very expensive so I have found a couple of slightly cheaper alternatives that I am definitely looking into buying one of on my next pay day! 

First Jacket | Asos | £55
Second Jacket | Topshop | £48


White strappy sandals
 You may see a white trend occurring through this post... aha I absolutely love the white fashion trend that seems to be very popular at the moment - especially as it makes me looked more tanned! I love this style of sandals and have seen a few around but these are my favorites however the ones from boohoo are out of stock in my size at the moment so hopefully they will get some more in soon!

I love every pair of these as they are all different, and the first pair have a nice platform which would be a nice and comfy substitute for heels especially on holiday if you were going out for a meal!

First Pair | Boohoo | £25
Second Pair | Topshop | £22
Third Pair | Boohoo | £22

Summery Dresses!
At college we aren't really allowed to wear shorts... unless they're quite long which I don't really like and they definitely don't suit me! Haha, so dresses are the best thing to wear when it gets a bit hot as I don't really want to be sitting around in jeans when I could be getting a tan. 
 A couple of weeks ago me and Sarah went and tried on loaads of dresses (Including a few of the ones below) and I found that the 'smock dresses' suit me quite nicely and I am looking in to buying a few for college and for my holiday to Corfu in the summer as I think they'd be perfect! So here are a few that I am loving...

My favorite one is definitely the first one and I have already tried it on so that's something I am definitely going to be purchasing soon, but I love them all!  H&M has loads of affordable dresses which are really nice and light for the Summer.

1 | Topshop | £28
2 | Topshop | £28
3 | Topshop | £36
4 | H&M | £5.99
5 | H&M | £14.99

White denim High waisted shorts
I really want some white shorts because 1. They make me looked tanned and 2. They're just so pretty! These 2 pairs that I have found are both from Hollister and I can't really seem to find many high waisted pairs around at the moment.. as these 2 pairs are quite expensive I am hoping that somewhere like Topshop comes out with a nice pair soon!

1 | Hollister | £42
2 | Hollister | £42

High waisted 'Washed Black' Joni Jeans | Topshop | £36
I dont have a pair of these in grey yet and the other day I tried Sarah's on and I really liked them! Although they are not very summery they will still be great for when it's not so warm here in England!

Elephant Charm Choker Necklace | Ebay | £3.75
I've seen a few people wearing these and I used to wear things like it when I was little! I think they look really cute though and I've been loving shorter necklaces recently so this is pretty cheap and I would love to see if I can pull one off!

White 'Push em up' Bikini | Gilly Hicks | £34
(They also sell this on the Hollister website) Again... white makes me look tanned!  And a bit of push up is always nice when you don't have much hahah. 

And... that's everything!  Geeez, I'm going to be skint!
Let me know what your favorite thing on my list is, and what's on your wishlist for this Summer.
Also.. where are you going on holiday this year (If you are) let me know in the comments below!

I hope you enjoyed this post,
lotsa love

Were Back! | Bargain Hunt Haul

Hello our lovely followers and readers! long time no see. 

Were incredibly sorry for our lack of posts, haven't posted anything since Christmas?! As many of you know me and Alanah are both in our first year at collage and we've both had a lot on our plates with coursework and revision. But were back, and although we may not post as much as we used to, we don't ever forget about our blog and were here for now, so lets get no with the post...

I have been looking for a few bargains in shops recently and yesterday me and a few girls, went to Portsmouth, Gunwharf Quays for a bit of shopping, as it was my friend Sophie's birthday. It was a lovely day out thanks to the nicer weather we've been having in the UK recently. If you've never been to Gunwharf Quays, you may not know it is an outlet shopping center, so many of the shops have their old seasons collections in for much cheaper prices and I found myself some great bargains. 

I am unable to link many of these items, as they're usually not available to purchase in stores anymore.

Superdry | Cord Jacket

RRP | £54.99

Outlet | £32.99

(also available in other colours)

I'd been looking our for a jacket that I could also wear in the spring and summer, and many jackets I currently own are coats or leather jackets. I do have a denim jacket, but its layered with fur, so you do become very hot in it. When I saw this in Superdry I was very pleased, as its perfect for the spring and summer for the UK, as it doesn't ever get overly warm, so i do normally take a jacket with me anywhere.

Calvin Klein Underwear

RRP | £10-£13.50

Outlet | 4 for £25 or £7-£9

 So I needed to pick up new underwear, though i thought it'd be a bit inappropriate to show you those, so here's the bag, haha!

Ralph Lauren | Marin White Canvas shoes

RRP | £75.00

Outlet | £34.99

(also available in other colours)

I feel everyone needs some white shoes in spring or summer, whether they be converse, vans, or the cheap Primark plimsolls. They just seem to go with everything, though with them being white they do get dirty quite easily and quickly so i didn't want to spend loads, though as I knew I'd wear them a lot, I wanted to purchase a nice pair. I saw these in Ralph Lauren and fell in love. Though the search for my size took around 30 minutes, (I am not exaggerating!). I needed a size 3, and they only had a 2.5 or 4, so i tried both on, and could get both on, but I went for the 4, as I'd rather they'd be large and i can do the laces up tighter, than having smaller ones that hurt so i wont wear them.

That's everything I bought in Portsmouth, but I thought I'd share a few other items I'd purchased these passed months as, I thought they were quite good bargains.

Sorry the trousers don't match, they were just what I was already wearing.

H&M | Floral Crop Top

Price | £6.99

(other colours and styles available)

couldn't find this online, but is still in stores

Topshop | Yellow Floral Crop Top

Price | £20

(available in other colours)

purchase here

             

Topshop | Lace Crop Top

Price | £16

Topshop | Strappy Crop Top

Price | £8

Christmas wishlist 2013 | Alanah's

Hello! So.. we haven't posted for a couple weeks - we have both been very busy with school so we apologize for that.  Now we are on our christmas holidays hopefully we will be posting more often! 5 days to go til christmas aaaaah!

Anyway, here is my christmas wishlist - I haven't really asked for a main present this year, just little bits but I hope I can give you inspiration (even though I know it may be a little late now!)

Enjoy!

Beauty

1. Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette | £37

I have never tried a Naked Palette but always wanted to, I think that the third one looks really pretty and I love the pinky colors in it.

2. Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Flash Extensions Mascara | £10.50

I absolutely love Soap & Glory mascaras but haven't tried this one so fingers crossed it's good!

3. MAC Lipstick in ‘Sandy B’ | £15

I mentioned this in my makeup wishlist a while back and haven't got round to buying it again, so christmas is the perfect excuse!

4. Sleek Face Contour Kit (Light) | £6.49 
 Looking forward to trying this kit it looks beautiful!

5. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter (‘Sweet Tart’ and ‘Sorbet') | £7.99

I've only had one of these and I loved it, so why not ask for a couple more ay?

6. Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm (‘Pink Punch’ ‘Peach Kiss’ ‘Mint Fresh’) | £2.99 

I had 2 of these.. and then left them in The Harvester (restaurant) aha, I loved them though!

7. Rimmel Exaggerate Automatic Waterproof Eye Definer (Noir) | £3.99 

Just my everyday eyeliner!

8. Jimmy Choo Perfume 40ml  | £33.50 

Perfect smell! I've tried a few samples of this and I love it so much. 

 

Fashion

1. Bershka Fur collar jacket (Medium Grey) | £69.99

I haven't actually asked for this for christmas because I've only just found it, but I am planning on buying it after Christmas because I absolutely love it!

2. Gilly Hicks Red Plaid Bra | £14.99 at the moment!

I love this pattern so why not have it on a bra? Also Gilly Hicks bras are so so comfy and I recommend checking them out - they are all for sale at £14.99 at the moment!

3. Black Timberland Boots | Around £120 I think

I love Timberlands and have wanted them for aaaages. I decided to opt for the Black as I tend to wear much more black than brown. Also they're different to the original brown Timberlands which I like.  I think they will go with a lot of things and I am really looking forward to wearing them (If I get them)

4. Jewelry | Varied prices

I have asked for jewelry and given my mum a few examples of what I like just to give her an idea.  I just need a bit more really.. not too fussed what it is. (Necklaces, Bracelets, Earrings, Rings...)

5.  Topshop Textured V Neck Top (Bottle) | £16

I have a grey one of these and I love it, it's not too cropped and the pattern is very pretty. The green one looks lovely too.  I have also just asked for 'tops' in general because my Mum is usually pretty good at picking things out for me.

6. Deena & Ozzy New Strappy Satchel | £30-£40 (Now out of stock)

I needed a smaller black bag as the one I have is pretty big, so this one will be great for going out shopping etc..

Random!

1.  New York wallpaper | Around £40 on eBay (but you can bid on them too)

I am wanting to redecorate my bedroom and I think this would look soo cool on a bedroom wall, I also love New York so why not!

2. Gift Cards (Topshop, Gilly Hicks etc)

There are a few things I would like to pick out myself so from other family members I thought it could be nice to get giftcards and then I can chose what I like.

3. Earphones

I just need some more because I keep breaking my old ones.. woooops!

4. Guitar Capo and Strings

Just need some new ones!

5. FOOOOD! 

Mainly M&M's because they're my favourite, but I have also asked for some Lindors and Nerds.  They will make good stocking fillers I think.

6. Blonde highlights

Obviously I can't get these on christmas, just maybe a gift card or something - or a booking to get them done in a salon.  

7. TV box for my TV

I have a TV.. but no box for it so I can't actually watch anything on it at the moment haha..

 

Okay so that's everything!

Now obviously I am not going to get all of this, but I like to give a lot of options and this is for my whole family I presume.  Also, my Mum likes to give surprises at christmas so she doesn't get everything on our lists.

I hope that you can get some gift ideas for other people my age (16) from this, and also maybe some things for your list (even though it's a tad late now!).  I hope you enjoyed, 

Happy Christmas!

Alanah

OOTD | Rag Week Day 2 | Occupation

Hello, so for our second day of rag week, the theme was occupation and as we are both feeling very festive for Christmas (its only 36 days to go!) we thought we'd both go as elves.  Before you ask... yes an elf is an occupation!

We did wear the same today

Sarah                                                                                                                             Alanah

Hats!

We both wore the same 'Santa's Helper' hat (obviously)! These were from The Party Shop which is located in our local debenhams but I'm sure they have independant shops too.  I think they were on sale/clearance for about £1.30 which we thought was a great deal!

Bottoms

So we are both wearing leggings however they are both different so

Sarah | I am just wearing some plain basic leggings from h&m, you can find them here

Alanah | My leggings are quite thick and they look a bit like jeans actually haha, but these are from Topshop for £25 and in my opinion - a great pair of leggings! You can find these here.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Tops

So our tops are from Primark! We tried to get bigger sizes so they were a bit baggy but that didn't really work out as you can see.. they're pretty fitted.  They were only £5 and there were a few other designs such as Santa and Reindeers. I am pretty sure that they will still be in store, probably until Christmas!

Shoes

So we wore the same shoes as yesterday and they are pretty similar but a tad different.

Sarah |  Double tongue white converse (view similar ones here)

Alanah | Original white converse still in-store (view them here)

Jackets 

We both wore leather jackets (because it was very cold today..) - but not the same ones

Sarah | My leather jacket used to be my mums, but she never wore it, so she let me have it, I think its from Dorothy Perkins.

Alanah | Mine is from a boutique near me, I honestly can't remember what it is called right now but it was about £25.

Thank you for reading, hope you liked it!
We will be doing a OOTD each day this week for RAG week, so make sure you check out yesterdays post and keep checking tomorrow for our 'outfit beginning with your first initial' outfits!

Alanah + Sarah
