Wishlist: Zara, Handbag Edition

As much as I love clothes in general I think I'm more of a shoes and handbags person, I'm not sure why though, I just think they make an outfit complete. 
I don't know if anyone else has noticed but lately Zara has had some beautiful handbags in, so beautiful in fact that I felt it necessary to share my favourites with you here (the best part is, they are all very affordable)...

My NYC Wishlist

So this Saturday I'm going to New York for five days and I'm so excited! As well as shopping on Fifth Avenue being a dream come true, it's also Fashion Week whilst I'm there, definitely be creeping and celeb-spotting! 
I plan on doing a loooooooot of shopping whilst I'm away so I thought I'd share my wishlist with you all...

Michael Kors satchel, 'Sutton' medium. 
I am in love with this bag! So classic, not sure whether to get this nude colour or black though.. hmmm. Wish I could get both!

J Brand jeand, Indigo Sateen Maria in 'Atmosphere'.
Skinny jeans are my favourite and I've wanted a pair of J brand jeans for years. The pricing in the US is so different to here, so excited to finally get some!

Urban Decay Naked2 Palette.
I've become obsessed with everything nude, whether its lippy or eyeshadow so I need to add this to my growing collection.

NARS Lipstick in Fire Down Below.
I want a really dark burgundy red lipstick and I think this is the perfect shade for Autumn. 

Kate Spade New York watch.

Last year my boyfriend bought me a gorgeous gold Vivienne Westwood watch. I love it but I think I need a silver watch now too (I know, such a shopaholic!). I really like this Kate Spade one as it's so big but not chunky.

iPad Air.

Carrying a laptop around at uni is such a hassle, so an iPad is perfect! 

Tiffany 1837 ring in silver.

It's my birthday at the end of September so my boyfriend is giving me some money to buy this ring for my birthday whilst I'm away. And I didn't even have to hint anything to him... 

There are sooo many more things I plan on buying in New York, especially from MAC, Benefit and Sephora, but these are the main few I'll be looking out for especially. I'm sure I'll come back with lots of clothes too, looking forward to visiting Barney's 7th floor! I've also been told the Forever 21 and H&M on Fifth are really good. I really can't wait to go now! I'll be back next Thursday so look out for some NYC themed posts next week!

My Lavish Alice Wishlist

Lately I have become obsessed with everything Lavish Alice has to offer. The clothes are so bang on trend it hurts and I'm finding it so hard to restrain myself until pay day! Therefore I decided I'd share the items I'm currently lusting after with you all, at least this means I can look through the website again!

Mustard Roll Neck Cropped Sweater, £28. I'm not usually a person who wears yellow but there is something about this sweater. Also, I love the styling here, kudos to the Lavish Alice team for this one!

Electric blue dark floral tailored co-ord, £64 if bought together. I am a huge fan of the co-ord and I'm so happy they are being carried through to AW. This dark floral print is perfect for the new season and the tailoring dresses the whole outfit up.

White sheer dipped hem long sleeve shirt, £36. The classic white shirt gets an update her with sheer panelling. Probably one of the most versatile pieces you could own.

Purple suede court heels, £14. These shoes are the perfect Autumn hue, and at a mere £14 it would be silly to refuse! 

Navy Cropped Jumpsuit, £58. This jumpsuit exudes class and sophistication. 

Navy Crossover Wrap Culottes, £48. This season I think I'm going to invest in trousers, instead of living in my skinny jeans. I love the unique wrap style of these.

Oxblood scuba sheer insert midi, £38. I cannot get enough of the midi skirt right now, and I love the volume of this one. Also, can we all just admire the colour?!

Which is your favourite item from my picks? Anything from Lavish Alice you are loving lately? Leave me a comment! 

My Current Topshop Wishlist

As mid-August draws nearer, the AW14 trends are trickling through to high street stores. I know most of us do not want to give up our sliders and shorts, but the weather here in the UK is telling us otherwise! I do love Summer, but I'm sooo excited for fashion this AW and currently I'm really loving Topshop! 
With that being said, I thought I'd share the pieces I'm currently coveting and hope to buy; some of which have already nearly sold out! I thought I was quick to transition through the seasons!

MOTO Borg Jacket, £58. Every year Topshop do these fluffy lined denim jackets and every year I say I'll buy one, this year I will!

Rose Cigarette Trousers, £42. A definite must-have trouser shape this AW and I love this dark floral print.

Lace Bralet, £22. I have loved these bralets for a while and I really wanted the burgundy one but it sold out soo quickly! I was gutted, hopefully they will be re-stocked soon.

Merit Leather Ankle Boots, £85. I love black ankle boots and every year I add to my collection. Lately I've been obsessed with nudes and neutrals so these boots are definitely on my wishlist. 

Quilted Heart A-line Skirt, £38. One of my favourite new season trends is the sixties (ermm  hello Mad Men) and anything A-line fits right into that. I love the quilted pattern on this skirt.

Wrap Front Jogger Trousers, £30. These trousers are so versatile! Look out for a blog post with my 3 ways to wear them. 

Hearts Motif Jumpers, £38. Kitschy pattern, pastel blue. This jumper is too cute! 

Slim Pocket Detail Coat, £58. This year I am feeling an intense need to invest in a camel coat... Say hello to this beauty. Such a classic.

Blanket Stitch Cape, £32. I want to channel my inner Suki Waterhouse, but I cannot afford her Burberry cape! This version is a perfect dupe!

Lipstick in Armour, £8. Described as a 'rose gold', I think this lippy is a gorgeous colour. Great, cheap way to test out the metallic beauty trend.
