Apologies for being a bit quiet on the blogging front lately. The past few months have seen me working at several festivals, so when I wasn't sat in a tent or dancing about in various weather conditions, I spent my days recovering from the muddy, smelly mess they all eventually turned into. But, I digress, I'm definitely back with a list of things I've been lusting over lately. Since my last published wish list (which was some time back in May I think....?) I've been definitely veering more towards more boho and hippie pieces than I used to.

Partly to blame for that is my discovery of Free People. While their clothes are definitely not on the affordable side of the spectrum (at least for me), everything they make is just so. damn. beautiful. Please can I just have every single item on their website?

As it's now definitely getting colder and darker outside by the day, it's also time to think about pieces that will keep me warm and cozy. The Topshop cape is sold out online, but I've seen it stocked in a few stores, so all is not lost. I feel like this winter I'm definitely going for a cape over a traditional coat or jacket. Who doesn't like an extra element of swishiness (technical term) added to their outfit? And yes, those are slippers you can see up there. Possibly the only thing that can get getting out of bed on cold mornings halfway bearable.

Of course, my wish list wouldn't be my wish list without a few prints thrown in for good measure. Unicorn sweater? Snoopy jumper? Psychedelic demon eye shirt? Count me in!

And to top things off nicely, this Dior nail polish in Massai is the perfect grown up autumnal red to embrace the golden lights that September brings.

New Look Haul

The warm and sunny weather we've had lately has made me realise that I don't have any nice summer dresses to swish around in, so that problem had to be solved with a quick trip to New Look. I find it so much easier to find clothes I like in summer than in the winter months. Everything is bright and colourful and happy - perfect for somebody like me who doesn't do "muted" or "understated" when it comes to clothes.

I love the loud, bold print on this dress and the cut is also incredibly flattering for my hourglass figure. It ties in at the waist and the foldover V-front gives amazing cleavage. I made it as far as the pub toilet after buying this and had to put it on straight away! The material is nice and feels cool and airy even in hot temperatures.

What do you do if you can't decide between two dresses? You buy them both! I wasn't too sure at first about this because of the longer sleeves, but it looks so much better when worn than it does on the hanger. The material is very stretchy, so it hugs every curve, while the loud print hides any bulges in places we'd rather not have them. When you come out of the changing room and your boyfriend says "This dress makes you look like Lana Del Rey" it would be criminal not to buy it.

I wasn't too sure about this floral headband at first, but now I'm so glad I got it! This is what would be considered a festival essential, but then I like to look every day as if I'm at a festival, haha.

And finally, no summer outfit would be complete without a matching pair of shades. I love the unique yellow colour on these and the amazing palm tree print on the sides of the frame. I feel like I'm instantly being transported to Miami wearing these!
