STUFF I'VE PINNED ON PINTEREST IN JANUARY

One great thing about Pinterest is it's one of the best places to curate content. The boards are awesome to pin stuff to like style inspiration or home decor inspiration. I tend to use it to pin stuff I like e.g. anything Marvel related or a ton of Alexa Chung pictures because her style is amazing.

So I thought I'd show you a few of my favourites images I pinned this month.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily Collins is one of my favourite actresses at the moment. So much hair inspiration here I have super long hair down way past my waist and I really want to cut my hair this short.

The 70s are back in style for spring. Although as I'm quite short flared trousers don't really suit me at all my legs look like they're drowning in material but I love this 70s style dress from Topshop.

I love white walls and I love brickwork so this is basically my dream bedroom.

And this one is included because it made me laugh way too much. Cards Against Humanity is the best game ever.

I'm thinking of making this kind of post a regular feature on my blog as I always use Pinterest.

If you guys have a Pinterest account put the url in the comments and I'll check it out!

THE FASHION POST | MINI SUMMER WISHLIST

This post is an entry to a competition held by Excel Clothing in conjunction with The Blogger Programme to win £500 to spend at their online store.

For me most of the time I wear quite monochromatic colours and a lot of black but when it's summertime I do wear slightly brighter colours like blue which is the focus of my mini summer wishlist.

I love the camera motifs on the dress.

Most of the time I am wearing a collared shirt if I'm in a skirt or trousers this one is quite unique.

I've been eyeing up Michael Kors bags for a while but they're slightly out of my current price range.

1. Sugarhill Boutique Ching Ching Skater Dress in Green. x

2. French Connection Holiday Block Classic Shirt in Yellow. x

3. Michael Kors Hamilton Large East West Satchel in Navy. x

If you want to enter the competition too go to this link here to see the rules and how to enter.

I'll be making another wishlist with no restrictions on brands and not as a competition entry soon.

THE FASHION POST | JULY WISHLIST

I love tea dresses but even though I tend to go for dark colours I absolutely love this dress. 

You can get it here.

For me I tend to wear boots regardless of weather I have so many black ankle boots already but I have been lusting after these for weeks now. You can find them here

I have been looking for a good faux leather skirt for ages and I am definitely buying this when I go on another shopping spree. You can find this here.

My designer pick in my wishlist this month is this 3.1 Philip Lim leather satchel. At nearly £1000 it's out of my price range but a girl can dream. You can find this here.

What is on your July Wishlist?

Note: Most of the clothing in this post are in the petite ranges.

THE FASHION POST | WIMBLEDON FASHION INSPIRATION

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

So the Wimbledon season is over and I am very happy that Andy Murray was Men's Singles Champion, incredibly proud to be British at the moment. We've had a sudden heatwave in Britain and I am making the most of the sun. I was a little inspired by the tennis and summer so thought I would put a little outfit together.

I love this white sundress it has flowers in it's embroidery and is incredibly feminine which is somewhat different to the usual clothes I would wear you can find this here

I would pair it with this straw boater hat to give my outfit a classic summer look. You can find this here.

Because I can't resist a minimalist pair of high heels I would finish the look with these ASOS Hoxton's (which are very similar to some Zara heels I've been lusting after) you can find these here

What would you wear to Wimbledon if you had the opportunity to go?

THE FAVOURITES POST | APRIL FAVOURITES

Clothing

This has literally been my staple item in my wardrobe, I've worn it so much I may need to replace it soon. Every girl needs a good faux-leather biker jacket.

Miss Selfridge Petites Black Seam Detail Biker Jacket x

Make-up

Of all the eyeliners I have used before and I have used a lot this is quite possibly the best so far. I've always been a fan of Max Factor's make-up and this was just another addition to my favourites from them. Honestly it is the only waterproof eyeliner I have found that stays on all day and the black is so pigmented.

Max Factor Colour X-pert Waterproof Eyeliner Black x 

TV Show

 

I'm not one for gory TV shows let alone crime thrillers or horrors but I have been enjoying Hannibal so far.

Hannibal x

Film

Well what can I say I adore Comic Book movies and I loved this one too.

You can catch my review of IM3 here

Iron Man 3 x

Magazine

I never used to buy Company I had always stuck to reading Empire, Total Film, Kerrang or Glamour but I really have been liking this magazine. It's nice to see such an emphasis put on street style and bloggers.

Company x

Book

I have read this so many times its getting ridiculous and my book is getting such a bad state I've resorted to reading it on kindle instead. I love a good old classic novel.

Pride and Prejudice

Music

I've been a fan of Paramore's since 2005 and I've bought every album and loved them all. This album is a completely different direction for them but there are some great tunes on this album. My favourite songs are Ain't It Fun & Last Hope.

Paramore (album 2013) x

Tell me your favourites if you like.
