Next Wishlist

Hello lovelies, today I have Next Wishlist to share with you all!
Once upon a time Next used to be a clothes shop that I saw as a somewhere my mum and other 35+ years shopped at but, the past few years I have been wanting more and more pieces by them! I totally wish I had money to buy everything on the wishlist below but, alas I don't *sad face*.
Here are my favourite finds from Next:

1. Denim Dark Blue Pinafore - £30  |  2. Navy Broderie Ruffle Dress - £50  |  3. Navy Slogan Shirt - £34  |  4. Nude High Neck Lace Top - £32  |  5. Lipsy Polka Dot Ruffle Dress - £38    6. Blue Stripe Off Shoulder Shirt - £30  |  7. Off The Shoulder Ruffle Sweater -£18  |  8. Blue Ruffle Shirt - £28  |  9. Tie Shoulder Cami - £16  |  10.  Navy Broderie Ruffle Top - £38  |  11. Black/White Check Trench Coat - £90

1. The dark wash of the denim is really nice. I think it would look lovely with a shirt underneath, a pussy bow blouse or even your favourite band t-shirt and some metallic ankle boots or for a more casual look some trusty converses.

2. This navy broderie ruffle dress would be perfect to transition from Early Spring too Summer! 

3. I really like the 'Au Revoir' embroidery on the back of the blouse, the white piping around the edges and the Peter Pan collar. I think this blouse would look cute tucked into maybe a nice midi skirt.

4. This nude/blush lace blouse would go well with most bottoms, you could wear with an A-line mini skirt or tucked in to black skinny jeans with a pair of ankle boots. I think it's such a pretty colour!

5. I think this such a cute dress that could be worn during winter with tights or without during the summer!

6. I love how it's styled in the photograph with the navy midi skirt there's something very Audrey Hepburn-esque to it and the style of the top is super elegant looking. 

7. Another striped top? Erm of course! But, this has a RUFFLE!

8. The ruffle on this shirt is such a nice detail a bit like a cape (maybe it's just me).

9. ohh my goodness how cute is this top?? I'm actually so tempted to buy this top! I would live in this in Summer time especially. I love the gingham pattern, the frill and the cute tie arm straps.

10. This is the shirt version of the no.2 broderie dress I would probably style this with a pair of skinny jeans or dungarees and converses. 

11. I really like this gingham trench coat I think it's a lovely, unique take on the classic camel trench. I have seen it in store and it seem 

From this wishlist I have learnt that at the moment I love anything navy or with frills! 

They have so many lovely pieces in stock at the moment, you should definitely have a look! 

What are your favourite pieces from my wishlist?

Thank you for reading!

Vintage Inspired Party Shoes

Hello lovelies, I hope you're all well! I haven't posted in a week mainly because I'm in the process of setting up my own online shop to sell prints of my drawings which takes up quite a bit of time. 
Today though I have a post all about Vintage Inspired Party Shoes, yet again mainly 60's & 70's inspired. Whilst I was creating my last post on Jazzy Boots Perfect For The Festive Season I saw so many amazing heels when I was looking at the online clothes shops. So I thought I would share my finds with you lovelies! Once again I have featured shoes that are under £100 because for my budget that's a realistic amount to pay.

Honestly, River Island is the place to go to for all your party shoe needs!

1. Gold Crocodile Effect Strappy Block Heel Shoes for £45
I'm a massive fan of these shoes! I don't know what it is in particular, I think it's a combination of the colour and the style of the heel. I like that there are two straps.  

2. Embroidered Floral Platforms from Topshop for £34
These shoes aren't very glitzy but, the floral embroidery would definitely add something to your outfit! The style of the shoes are platforms so they would add a touch of vintage to whatever you are wearing.

3. Sadly I can no longer find this on the River Island website so, I have a feeling that they have all sold out.
I loved the jewel details on those shoes, they made them look expensive.

4. Gold Textured Block Heeled Sandals from River Island for £30
There is just something about these heels that makes me think of 70's disco, if that makes any sense...(probably not). I'm huge fan of the style of the heel, which is the same as the Black Embroidered Heels (no.6). 

5. Glitter heeled shoes from New Look for £24.99
Now these are definitely the most festive heels of the lot, with the metallic colour (silver) and the cheeky glittery heel. They make me think of Twiggy at Christmas because of the Mary Jane style to them, very Sitxties!

6. Black Embroidered Oriental block heel sandal from River Island for £48
These Oriental inspired embroidered heels are so nice and I think are very unique looking. They would look nice with a midi skirt and a turtle neck.

7. Velvet Block Heeled Shoes from New Look on ASOS for £24.99
I had to get a bit of velvet in somewhere didn't I? I like the addition of the single strap because I find when I wear any shoes without straps that they fall off the back of my feet, plus I think it makes the shoes look even cuter.

8. Metallic Strappy Mary Jane Shoes from River Island for £35
If you want quite a party shoe that has a bit of glitter these would be perfect for you, in the images on the website they seem to be quite subtly sparkly. They also look like they are a nice height especially for people who aren't very confident walking in heels. Also, the glitter heeled shoes from New Look (no.5) that would would be perfect for that too.

My next post will be all about my winter fashion essentials, I might even include a quick drawing

Thank you for reading!
