Striped Sweatshirt, Pull & Bear, £17.99 // 3D Globe Pendant Necklace, Urban Outfitters, £12 // Heart-shaped Print Pink Skirt, Romwe, £18.12 // Coins Bracelet, Asos, £6 // Reve de Miel Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm, Nuxe, £9.50 // MOTO Faux Leather Fronted Leigh Jeans, Topshop, £42 // MOTO Folk Embroidered Hotpants, Topshop, £34 // Origami Animal Earrings, Love Hearts and Crosses, £10 // Pink Tribal Print Friendship Bracelets Pack, New Look, £6.99 // Geo Darling Boxy Tee, Forever21, £11.50

Slowly but surely the spring collections are seeping into shops (the first month of the year is over now, after all) and I'm all over them! I always struggle to find clothes I like in the winter months, as everything tends to be black and grey and really, really dull. 

And just because it's still winter doesn't mean I can't start looking for a new pair of shorts. That's what tights were invented for, after all!

I also couldn't help but sneak in a Valentine's themed item, either. The heart print Romwe skirt looks like it's the perfect cut to do an awful lot of swirling and swooshing in.

The Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm was featured on pretty much every beauty bloggers 2013 favourites and as I'm in dire need of an intense over-night lip balm ever since I finished my last tube of 8 hour cream, it's about time I give this one a go.

Two other items on this list are also completely down to other bloggers. First of all, we have those faux leather Topshop jeans. I've always wanted some leather trousers, but was a bit weary about pulling the look off. Then I saw these over on Lily's blog (click here for the post) and fell in love with the half denim, half leather design. Unfortunately, they seem to have sold out online, but you might be able to still find them in stores. Over on Sailboat (click here for the post) Jenny introduced me to Love Hearts and Crosses and I want pretty much everything from the site, but I settled with the Origami hummingbird earrings for now. The site seems to be slightly temperamental with direct links, but they're definitely still there, so you might just need to search for them manually.

The globe pendant necklace holds special meaning to me, as one of my goals for this year is to save some money to finally go travelling. It would be a constant reminder that I need to get out and see the world!

I've also seen a similar bracelet to the coin one above a few months ago, but then I couldn't find it anywhere and regret not having made a purchase when I had the chance. I'm not doing the same mistake twice!

June Wish List

Asos Freefall Leather Sandals £45 (€61,09) // Topshop Aztec Dip Dye Skirt £32 (€42) // Alpha-H Liquid Gold Revita and Firming Solution £31.50 (€38.40) // Forever 21 Floral Fit & Flare Dress £18.75 (€21.75) // Forever 21 Plated Chain Necklace £7.40 (€8.90)


I thought it would be impossible to find flat sandals that I like, but lo and behold, Asos have managed to make the impossible possible and I actually quite fancy this pair. Of course they would be completely useless for a summer spent in the city as the white leather would get mucky very, very quickly, but I guess you can't have everything... *sigh*

I recently noticed that I have no skirts left apart from two or three businessy ones, so that's a situation that has to be remedied quickly! I love the way this Topshop one taps into Aztec print, but without looking scary.

Alpha-H Liquid Gold is something I've wanted to try for a while, just because so many people are raving about it and I'm also quite curious if a chemical peel would make any difference to my skin.

Finally - and I can't believe I'm saying this - but I think Forever 21 has taken over from Topshop as my "shop where I could buy everything". Their clothes, their jewellery, hell even their pyjamas... I'm just in love. I love how summery this dress is whereas the necklace would be perfect to jazz up a plain top or t-shirt.


Ich dachte, es wäre unmöglich, flache Sandalen zu finden, die mir gefallen, aber seht her: Asos haben das Unmögliche möglich gemacht und dieses Paar finde ich sogar recht hübsch. Natürlich sind sie für einen Sommer in der Stadt total ungeeignet, da das weiße Leder sehr schnell schmutzig werden würde, aber man kann ja nicht alles im Leben haben.... *seufz*

Ich habe vor kurzer Zeit bemerkt, dass ich keine Röcke mehr habe, bis auf zwei oder drei "Büro-Röcke" und diese Situation muss schnellstens behoben werden! Ich liebe die Art, in die dieses Topshop-Stück auf Azteken-Print andeutet, ohne aber zu überwältigen.

Alpha-H Liquid Gold ist etwas, das ich schon seit längerer Zeit probieren wollte, weil so viele Leute davon begeistert sind. Es würde mich auch interessieren, ob ein chemisches Peeling irgendwelche Veränderungen auf meiner Haut hervorrufen würde.

Und zum Schluss - und ich kann nicht glauben, dass ich so etwas sage - denke ich, dass Forever 21 Topshop die Rolle des "Geschäfts, in dem ich alles kaufen könnte" abgenommen hatte. Die Kleidung, der Schmuck, ja sogar die Schlafanzüge sind alle ein Traum. Ich liebe das Sommerfeeling, das von diesem Kleid ausgeht, während die Kette ganz einfach ein simples Top oder T-Shirt aufpeppen würde.
