Wish List Wednesday - Gay Paree

Next Friday I am off to Paris for a long weekend - excited much?!

I haven't been there for absolute years and I cannot wait to stroll around the Parisian streets, gorge myself on patisserie and swoon over the designer stores.  Oh and maybe fit in a sneaky trip to Disneyland too...well it would be rude not to right?

I'm on a strict budget so rather than a pre-trip shop I will be raiding the wardrobe, but this is what I would love to be wearing next weekend...



Sequin poodle sweater, £290, Marcus Lupfer at Glassworks Studios

Black pleated leather skirt, £95, Topshop

Cream jewel neckline dress, £60, Topshop

Black quilted leather jacket, £150, Warehouse

Black strap detail boots, £65, River Island

 

Croc embossed leather clutch, £60, ASOS



Black studded gloves, £25.99, Zara


   
Oh that's a lot of black! What's on your wishlist this week? Do you have any Paris tips for me? Let me know!

Wish List Wednesday

What a conundrum.  I start to stock up on pieces for my autumn wardrobe and the weather finally heats up, relegating my long sleeved dresses, trousers and knitwear to the back of my wardrobe.

So this week's wishlist is all about transitional items, that can be taken from the humid 30 degree heat we're expecting today, to the cooler climes of September and October....


Sailor blouse, £39, Miss Selfridge


Perfect teamed with jeans or tucked into a skirt, this blouse is light enough for the summer months and the long sleeves and soft colour ensure it will 'work' well into the autumn.



Pink chunky knit sweater, £35.99, Zara

 Ok, so this may not be suitable for the 30 degree daytime heat, but I think it would be the perfect sweater to chuck over a delicate summer dress for those evenings spent lounging in a beer garden.  And as it gets cooler, how lovely would it look over a little skirt and black opaques, or teamed with jeans and pumps?  Definite must buy for me.

Burgundy jersey maxi skirt, £25, River Island

The maxi skirt is one of the best transitional pieces you can get.  Worn with sandals and a vest when it's scorching, or teamed with a leather jacket and ankle boots when it's cool.  And I love the colour (and price) of this River Island number.

Silk printed midi dress, £80, Warehouse

This midi dress is stunning, and would look just as good teamed with sandals as with ankle boots and a leather jacket.

Gem heel pumps, £50, Topshop


Love these shoes.  I'd never really considered mid-heel's before, but these immediately caught my attention.  The black patent leather, bow front and chunky gem encrusted heel adds up to some rather lust worthy footwear....almost begging to be teamed with an a-line dress, 100 deniers and big hair.

Studded leather bracelet, £9.99, Zara

I've got a real thing about stacks of leather, studded and woven bracelets at the moment, and this would look perfect wrapped around my wrist, contrasting perfectly with the existing sea of brown and beige.

Red skater dress, £42, Miss Selfridge

I searched high and low for my size in the mustard version of this dress, so am now delighted to see it in red.

So that's my wishlist for this week....what's on yours?

Wish List Wednesday

Since the weather cannot seem to make up its mind at the moment, my focus has turned to accessories...namely statement shoes and bags that are new in.  From the bone printed pumps at Topshop to Zara's stunning sequinned courts, there is enough to keep everyone happy...except our bank managers!


Black bone print pumps, £18, Topshop



Patience platform heels, £45, ASOS

Black sequin courts, £59.99, Zara



Love suede platforms, £65, Topshop



Leather studded bag, £59.99, Zara

Burgundy leather satchel, £45, Miss Selfridge

Wish List Wednesday

Leopard print dress, £89.99, Zara

Red polka dot dress, £80, Topshop Boutique

Mustard dress, £42, Miss Selfridge

I appear to have developed a penchant for structured skater dresses. But then, who wouldn't? The nipped in waist and flared skirt creates a fabulous silhouette and suits just about every body. If I could have all of these that would be great, thanks :)
