eBay Wishlist #1

Watch || Pumps || T-Shirt || Boots || Bag

I have definitely jumped on the bandwagon in doing an 'eBay wishlist' post, however eBay is usually the first place I look when I need a new outfit, and my saved list is at least 3 miles long (you think I'm kidding!). At the minute I'm trying to look for more spring/summery items as my wardrobe is over run with black and navy. 

1. Cat face watch £1.85 -  I will admit, I fit into the stereotype of every other blogger in the fact that I LOVE cats. I just think they're so cute, and this cat face watch is just me all over.
2. Converse Style Pumps £7.99 - Converse are my go to footwear in the summer. I just think they go with every outfit, even a pretty summer dress. I bought some real ones last year for around £35 and they just about lasted me through the summer. This year I decided I'd just go for an unbranded pair and save myself £20+.
3. Labyrinth t-shirt £19.99 - Anybody who read my last post (here) knows how much of a Labyrinth fan I am, so when I came across this on eBay it went straight into my watch list! 
4. Heeled Biker Boots £22.99 - I do already own 3 pairs of black ankle boots, I think I'm obsessed. Now I definitely don't need these but I think they look so much more expensive than their price tag! I think they would look good again in the summer with a floral dress just to grunge it up a bit!
5. Pink Bag £20.99 - I just think this bag is gorgeous, such a pretty summer colour and the style of it reminds me somewhat of the Zara City Office bag! I will almost definitely be snapping this up very soon!

I hope you enjoyed my first eBay wishlist post and thank you for reading!

Winter Wishlist

Autumn/Winter is my favourite time of the year! I love chunky cardis, big stompy boots and wrapping up in 20 layers. This year I'm absolutely loving most of the trends; Tartan, boyfriend jackets and of course cut out boots. So my wishlist is never ending! Anyway, I've managed to narrow it down to my 5 favourite things.

Shoes / Bag / Coat / Dress / Hat

1. Boohoo.com Chelsea Boot £25 -
 I wasn't actually looking for any boots for this winter as I already have my Dr Martens and 2 pairs of black boots but when I came across these on Boohoo.com I knew I had to have them! They would look soooo nice with almost everything I own!

2. New Look Boyfriend Coat £39.99 - 
 This is a gorgeous dupe for the Topshop/Zara Boyfriend coats, I absolutely LOVE the colour of it!

3. Primark Pork Pie Hat £8 -
These were in Topshop a lot last year and I nearly bought one for around £20, but I'm so glad I didn't! I think these look so lovely for a night out just with a dress and a pair of  boots.

4. eBay Bag £21.99 -
 I actually just bought a similar one to this today, I'll have to feature it in a OOTD post at some point. I really needed a bag big enough for all of my uni books but I also wanted it to look smart enough to wear it out if I wanted to. Like everyone else I LOVE the bags in Zara but just can't justify spending £50+ on one.

5. Primark Floral Dress £8 -
 I'm pretty sure 99% of people own one of these so I suppose I don't need to say much about it. I'm going to go into primark Liverpool and pick it up at some point, it's just lovely!

What's on your winter wish list?
Thanks for reading!

Summer outfit

Ditsy Owls Jewellery

Hello!

Today is a review of a little jewellery and accessories shop called Ditsy Owls. Ditsy Owls sell unique and handmade jewellery, hair bows and other accessories on their Etsy shop. The lovely girls who own the shop, Khanada and ES, sent me out some items to review for them.

 1// Set of 2 hair bows £3.50  2// Pink grapefruit stud earrings £1.00

3// Silver Eiffel tower earrings £2.00

 This is what I received from the girls, 2 hair bows and 2 pairs of earrings. I didn't manage to get a picture of the packaging because I ripped it open in excitement, but the parcel was wrapped up so pretty and I also got a handwritten note which I thought was very sweet. Onto the pictures anyway!

I've never worn a hair bow before so was unsure of where/how to use them but I eventually decided on using them as a bun decoration. I think they look so adorable and are perfect for the summer. I reckon I'll be wearing these a lot because my hairs so boring and these are just an effortless way to jazz it up a bit. There are loads of different designs on Ditsy Owls' Etsy site so if these ones aren't particularly your style then I'm sure there will be some on there that you like.

This is what the earrings look like worn. The pink grapefruit earrings are like a hard plastic material with a silver metal stud,  they stock all different types of fruit and even googly eye versions! So cute and the neon colours are very on trend for this summer. The Eiffel tower earrings seem to be very well made too, I've worn them a couple of times out and have had no problems so for £2 I cant fault these at all. In fact I cant fault any of the items Ditsy Owls sent me, they're all really well made and such a bargain!

If you like the Items I've reviewed you can visit Ditsy Owls' Etsy shop here, view their facebook page here and follow them on instagram @ditsyowls.

Hope you like this review :)

P.S. Got an exciting giveaway coming soon so keep your eyes peeled!

** I was sent these items free of charge for review purposes. However this does not sway my opinion.

Idollina festival style

I discovered these bracelets by Idollina about a year ago when I won a stack of four bracelets in one of their competitions. Below is the stack that I won. I love the bracelets they're really good quality and the beads are a lot heavier than I expected. I've worn them at least twice a week since I've won them and they're still in perfect condition. I've also had a LOT of people asking where I got them from and telling me they love them, and I've ended up buying most of my girl friends and my Mum some for Christmas. 

Idollina stack 4025 £17

They have a section just for edgy festival stacks (here) which are bang on trend for this summer. These are just two of my favourites;

 

                                            

Pastel Festival Stack £18.50                                              Boho Festival Stack £16.50

They also sell stacks of 2,3,4 & 5 bracelets and also single bracelets which you can customise and decide exactly what colours you want and also add charms/words to your bracelets. There are over 10,000 variations of bracelets you could choose from. I've decided I need to add a couple more to my collection so I will be buying these two (below) as soon as I'm finished with this post (yay!) .

Cream skull bracelet £4                                                           White love bracelet £4

 

Idollina regularly run competitions on their Twitter and Facebook pages so I would reccommend following/liking them. They are currently running a competition for bloggers which you can found out how to enter here.

What do you think of Idollina's bracelets?

Motel Rocks Night Time

Motel Wispa Cut Out Dress £45 / Cambridge Satchel £100 / Jefferey Campbell Litas £120 / Topshop Frilly Socks £3.50 / Disney Couture Bangles £70 (Similar £25) / Boohoo Studded Headband £4.00 / Essie Nail Polish in Lovie Dovie £7.99 / Bowie Belt £20


Hello hello! This is my entry for the Stylist Task - 'Dusk til dawn in Motel'. Im getting in a really summery mood at the moment so I thought I'd make a summery night time outfit. Monochrome is really in at the minute but I've not been a fan so far, I always feel like I'm dressed for work or an interview when I'm wearing no colour. Anyway, I spotted this black and white dotty dress on motelrocks.com and absolutely fell in love with it. It's so pretty and floaty and summery! However I couldn't bear the thought of wearing it as a full monochrome outfit so added some bits of pink in there. I think it makes a very cute night time outfit, but you could also dress it down by putting on a pair of flats and maybe a denim jacket! Hope you like it!

If you've entered, please send me the link to your entries :)

Motel Daytime

Motel babydoll dress, $68 / Monki glitter socks, $7.70 / Dr. Martens black shoes / Zatchels leather satchel, $150 / Topshop / Rare London wool hat, $18 / Models Own nail polish, $7.58

This is my entry for the Stylist Hunt Task - 'Dusk til dawn in Motel'. I don't consider myself to be a 'stylist' but I thought I'd enter it as I quite enjoy making Polyvore mood boards anyway!

Hope you like it! Please link me to your mood board if you have entered :)

Wishlist...

Hi again!

So it's been a while since I posted anything, I've had a lot of Uni deadlines in the last few weeks but the majority of them are done so hopefully I'll get into the swing of things. Anyway I thought I'd do a wishlist, I've got my eye on a lot of things at the minute so I'm gonna have to get saving!
- This has to be the poorest attempt at a wishlist and I do apologise, I'm new to Polyvore!

1. Dr Martens Caryn Shoe - I think these would look so cute in the summer with a pair of white frilly socks and a girly dress loveeeee them!

2. Ted Baker Bow Shopper Bag - I've just wanted one of these for ages, they're really handy because they're big enough to put all of your Uni stuff in, but they look really pretty at the same time! 

3. Topshop Oversize grey check shirt - Good as a top to keep you warm in the winter, also good to use as a jacket in the spring/summer.

4. River Island Acid wash shorts - Basic Pair of denim shorts, everyone needs a pair of these!

5. Topshop bowler hat - Think these look really nice with a grungy dress and a pair of biker boots/heels.

6. Rock n Rose vintage cross necklace

7. Motel Pow dress - Pop art is coming back in fashion for s/s this year, this would look really cute either dressed up or down!

8. Topshop pink tye dye socks - I think would look cute with my black converse.

9. Motel Smoke skater dress - I've actually just bought this so I'll do an outfit post as soon as it arrives :)

10. River Island aztec print skirt - Again, think would look really pretty in the summer, could tram with the bowler hat :)

11. Ebay Creeper shoes

12. Motel Doesn't sell these anymore but I'm determined to find them :(

Thanks for reading :)
