October wishlist!

In Britain at the moment the lovely Summer weather seems a distant memory. I wake up greeted every morning either by a cold blast of wind or a lot of rain. I love winter, mainly just as an excuse to wear knitwear all the time, I love log fires, Halloween and Bonfire night, drinking cosy hot chocolates whilst watching a film and the pinnacle of Winter in my opinion; Christmas!


I have devised a little wishlist of some things I'd like to get for the Winter months. I found everything using the very handy app on my phone Mallzee. If you haven't heard of Mallzee, where on earth have you been hiding haha!? This app has been beautifully described 'like Tinder but for clothes' as you can swipe left if you like something or right if you don't.




 You can add friends via FaceBook on the app and you can ask their opinions on things as well which I think is great as sometimes if you like something yet you aren't entirely sure it'll suit you asking someone else's opinion can influence you massively. It has a list of over 200 different brands and you can whittle down your choices of brands and what you're looking for and it'll find those things for you. 




It's a great app if like me, you could spend hours traipsing around hundreds of different shops and looking at very similar items yet not purchasing a thing. I would definitely recommend anyone to download Mallzee, it is a free download as well and takes less than thirty seconds to sign up, I find it really useful just to have a browse at different clothes, shoes and accessories that I like from the comfort of my own bed. 

Anyway, here's to my October wishlist! 


I love everything about these boots. I am a big fan of black chelsea boots anyway but I really love the croc effect and gold detailing. These boots are £45 from ASOS here

.
Similarly I really like these Black triple strap boots from New Look. As a tall girl I shy away from heels which is annoying because they all look really pretty but I'm very self conscious of my height. I find ankle boots with a little heel make me feel very on trend and will look good dressed up or for a casual look too. These boots are £27.99 from New Look here.


Are you noticing a slight black theme going on here? It's such a versatile colour to wear and you can wear anything with it. I love this 3/4 length sleeve bardot neck dress from New Look. I think it looks very slimming and chic. It costs £12.99 here.


Moto leigh jeans, Topshop £38. I want to get myself a couple of pairs of decent jeans that will fit well and keep the shape. I've been eyeing up a few pairs and Topshop ones feel and look the nicest. 


Similarly from above I like the look of these Intense Blue Leigh jeans also for £38. 

I really like this Deena and Ozzy mock Croc effect backpack from Urban Outfitters. It costs £42. 


I really like this navy cord shirt also from Urban Outfitters. I think it would look cool buttoned up with a pair of jeans in the daytime or even undone and worn over a dress for a casual look. This is £30.


I think this leather jacket from Dorothy Perkins is great as I've been on the lookout for a leather jacket like this for a while now. It is £49.

Backpacks

I love bags as much as the next girl but recently due to my love of carrying oversized bags and popping every little thing in there, I have been suffering a bit with aches and pains in my arms, shoulders and back. It wasn't until I opened my bag and saw I was lugging two bottles of water, a heavy coin purse and a waterproof coat crammed in when I thought I may need to purchase a rucksack (and stop taking all my possessions out with me when I pop out for the day!!)

I have found some of my favourite rucksacks from the highstreet or I found online.


From the top right: 
ASOS boxy oversized pebble backpack £35
New Look black daisy backpack £19.99
Topshop clean pocket backpack £34
Urban Outfitters Ecote mini convertible backpack in red £42
Boohoo.com Victoria studded pocket front rucksack £15
Motelrocks.com rucksack in silver iridescent £35
New Look white structured backpack £24
New Look Black metal tip croc panel backpack £17.99
Pull and Bear patchwork backwork £29.99
River Island coral quilted backpack £30

Primark also do some really nice, cheap backpacks and I really like a black acid wash one they do in there too.

Shopping in Bath

Hello!


On Monday I went shopping in Bath with one of my best friends, Vicki! I thought I'd share some photos with you of my day and some things I bought. 
We caught the train which only took half an hour. It was really scenic journey there. 

When we got there we went for lunch at GBK and this was my first time going there and really enjoyed it. Vicki had a cheeseburger and I had a chicken burger and it was really tasty. 

The fries we ordered were skinny fries and they were so so tiny! This picture doesn't really show how mini they are. The fries also came with Hei Hei salt which was really nice, different, but nice! It smelled a bit like curry powder. 
I got these two scrunchies in Urban Outfitters for either £4 or £6 I can't remember but I do really like them. It really reminds me of the 90's not only because of it being a scrunchie but also the red tartan and black velvet material too. 

I got this skater skirt in New Look for £14.99. I think it would look really nice with a collared shirt tucked in or even in the summer as well. 

I gave in to temptation and bought some Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I got my sister two strawberry glaze ones and I had a caramel macchiato one on the way home  on the train. 

I may have spent a little bit too much in Lush too! 
I bought the bath ballistic tisty tosty because I think it smells really nice and looks pretty too. It has a lovely floral scent. Costs £3.25

Ahh! I purchased the Golden Egg as well which is a beautiful mix of a bath bomb with a glistening bath melt outside. When melting it should leave a delicious sweet/toffee scent. Holding this in the shop I felt like Harry Potter in the triwizard tournament! I can't wait to use this, even if I'll be scrubbing the bath of glitter for hours on end! Costs £3.50

I got two fluffy egg bath ballistic because it looks cute and smells amazing! It genuinely smells exactly like Lush's Snow Fairy shower gel with its gorgeous candy scent. Delish! This costs £2.95

The second Fluffy Egg I purchased, I'm really looking forward to using these. 

I also picked up Honey Bee for £3.25 which has a sweet, honey fragrance hence the name. The honey and aloe Vera in this also helps to soothe and cleanse the skin. 

I got this yuza and cocoa bubble bar for £3.25. Usually I don't like chocolate orange flavoured things but I really liked this! 

I really like the architecture in Bath. I think it's a really beautiful city and would love to live here. 

Bath weir. Whenever I go to Bath I always like to go here.
