River Island Loves

All Clothing - River Island

Red Velvet boots - Rocket Dog or New Look

My Necklace - Miss Selfridge

My Earrings - Primark

Myself and mother went for a little stroll around Swindon town center today to look for homey things to go in my family's newly cleaned house. However it may have turned solely into a shopping trip. Maybe.

Still having not been paid I had a little cry inside every time I found something wonderful (which always happens when you have no money!) Especially when I arrived at River Island! 

I've never been the biggest River Island fan as, although I am a little out-going with my sense of style, their clothing has always been a little TOO out-there for me. However today, I found myself wanting everything they had in! So I had to take myself a few cheeky dressing-room snaps, to remind myself what I HAVE to purchase when I receive payment.

As we all know, burgundy is a massive colour this season and when I spotted this super soft cardigan I fell in love! It had tiny little golden beaded studs all over it, and more-so on the cuffs. However, it was £35, which I though was a little steep, but maybe that's just me. Please make it £25 River Island, please.

This Floral skater skirt I also fell in love with. This print and colours are gorgeous and I have had a real big thing for skirts, and especially skater skirts lately. I feel they are really complimentary on my figure. Actually, my mum bought this for me because I kept repeating how much I loved it, I love her!

These Velvet Rocket Dog boots weren't actually in River Island but I found them in Treds for £40 and were the ones from my wish list! Pay day come soon. 

And Finally this adorable Pleather skate skirt. I have been after one of these for ages and this one was such a fab fit! If you do not yet own one of these, I suggest you go grab one up! They are so cute and fashionable  and definitely in my good books at the mo!

Extremely sorry for the essay, Sophie xxxx

October Wish List

Having just started a new job, I do not get paid for another month therefore, am a very poor girly. So I do what the best of us can only do, lust over beautiful things on the internet. So here's my October Wish list!

1. This beautiful Leather Look Skirt is from Lavish Alice and is £20. I have been lusting over this ever since it entered their site, about a month or two ago. Considering that I have had a gander at this skirt every day since I first laid eyes on it, you'd have thought I'd have somehow pulled together the brilliant price of £20 to buy it. But trust me, I'm that poor I cannot. However, it will be my #1 thing to buy as soon as I can! 

2. I have literally only just come across this Romwe Dress since it's not a site I tend to visit every day. No reasons why, since they have beautiful things. I am in love with skater-style dresses as I find they really compliment my figure as I'm not the skinniest of girls, and I need to try and embrace my curves with what I wear, otherwise I just look like a potato.  I also adore Collars as I think they're a simple yet beautiful detail to any dress or shirt.

3. This Denim Shirt is just my kind of shirt! Denim and a dark acidy kind of wash. However, I haven't been a biggest fan of studded collars as they seem to be on every girl I pass by in the street. But that doesn't mean I don't think they're not great on some things, but only the right things!

4. This Skeleton Key necklace is both pretty yet semi edgy. Can give any outfit a slight gothic look. 

5. I have wanted a scrabble tile ring for YEARS! And once again, I mention I am too poor to even afford £2 on a ring. Okay, that's a lie, that's the average I spend on wine per day, but still. I will get round to purchasing this on pay day. 

6. Oh my dear God aren't these beautiful! I found these Burgundy Velvet Boots on the New Look website but they are in fact Rocket Dog. I never spend enough money on shoes, I have a fair few pairs but they're always cheapy ones from Primark. Not that I don't love Primark, but they fall apart after a few months. I would love to just go all out and buy a buy that cost my £60, not £5. Now, these boots have everything I love about shoes- Laces, ankle support, Burgundy and VELVET. Anyone who knows me knows my wardrobe consists of far too much velvet, but that can just be my one little wardrobe vice!
