Spring wishlist

spring wants


So as per usual, Topshop has got me lusting over so many things. I think everything on this list in from Topshop apart from the Essie nailpolish which is available on amazon.co.uk and the Chelsea boots, which are from asos.com.
I am totally in love with gingham but I don't quite know how to wear it without looking like a tablecloth or a little girl going to school. This skort is quirky and structured enough to overcome both of those things which is perfect. I need to snap it up fast as I think it will be going quickly! Pastel blues and greens are my personal favourite for spring and summer. My flatmate always makes fun of me because whenever we go shopping for summer clothes, I always come away with an armful of green things and nothing to wear them with! This jumper is perfect with the transition from winter to spring as it's cosy enough to keep you warm but bright enough to inject some life and a little bit of summer vitality into your day!
I have been looking for a blazer for ages and ages but I've always been reluctant to buy one as they always give me flashbacks to the horrible blazer I had to wear for school. This Topshop blazer is slouchy and laid back and so easy to just throw on over an outfit so hopefully won't send me spirally back into my school days. 
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS WATCH. I think watches may be my weak point. I only have two but I honestly go weak at the knees whenever I see a beautiful watch. I really watch a watch with a leather strap and this white leather one is gorgeous. The face is rose gold which is perfect as I am really into rose gold bracelets at the moment! The watch is from Olivia Burton and it's available online at Topshop.com
Chelsea boots are super popular just now but I think some that are around are just too chunky for me. These asos boots are chunky but also delicate at the same time, which I love!

Sooooo yes, this is definitely what some of my student loan will be going on! Can't wait to hit the shops now!
Love,
Grace
ps, what I'm listening to at the moment is a lot of Paper Aeroplanes. They're a cute little welsh band and I'm going to see them in a couple of weeks! This is one of my favourite songs of theirs. :)

Studying survival pack.

So I finally finally finished my exams and now I can finally start posting! A couple of weeks ago, studying was really getting me down as I was in the library form 9am until 10pm and I had no time to myself! So I ordered a little study survival pack of affordable jewellery and a gorgeous little magazine just to maintain the motivation to keep studying everyday.
Kukee is a small online jewellery shop that I heard about through Amy Valentine's december haul video (which can be found here).
All their pieces are super affordable at most things under £5 and all silver and gold plated which is such good value! I ordered a set of midi rings, a knotted love ring (which I got because it looks like a pretzel!!!!) a gold chevron ring and a gorgeous pair of earrings(not pictured) all for £12.50! what a bargain! What's more, the lovely folks at kukee sent me an open double banded silver midi ring too, which I wear on my middle finger because I think it looks nicer not as a midi ring :) (apologies for my nails, I haven't had time to even get dressed in the morning recently, let alone paint my nails)



The second part of my study survival pack was a copy of Oh Comely. For those who haven't heard of it, Oh Comely is a cute lifestyle magazine that is packed full of quiet and happy moments which is perfect to read with a cup of tea as a lovely little study break. The magazine comes out every two months for the very affordable of about £4. You can order it on their website here
I'm going shopping in Glasgow this weekend with some left over vouchers I got for my birthday so I'll have an outfit post ready soon for you guys.
Love,

Please don't go, I love you so

Hiiiiiiiiiii there! I've been really rubbish at keeping this blog thing going recently but I'm going to try again now. January is my least favourite month because it's still so dark and horrible plus it's filled with awful exams! I've been pretty bad after christmas trying to cheer myself up with shopping so here's a wee outfit to show you guys!


skort - Ebay, Top - Zara, Necklace - H&M, Boots - Urban Outfitters via a charity shop.
 
I absolutely adore this skort. The zara skort was everywhere this summer, but for some reason I couldn't justify it to myself at all, until I spotted this geometric print skort on Ebay one day for only £8! What a winner wooo! The top I snapped up in the Zara sale as I am a suck for tops with any cut out, see-through detail on them.
Sorry about the quality of the photos, I recently got a new camera and I'm not quite sure how to use it and I forgot to install the editting software before I left for uni again!
Hope everyone had a very happy new year
