March Wishlist | Hello Spring!

Hello Spring!


Jeans- £36, Topshop
Shoes- £27.99, New Look
Sunglasses- £15, dollybowbow.co.uk
Bag- £136.04, shopbop.com
Lipstick- £4.49, Barry M (Shade: Pale Nude)
Dress- £15, H&M

As we come to the end of winter, despite the snow that's still around for some of us, it's time to look forward to the new season. This year I'm really into bright coral shades for spring and am seriously considering purchasing this floaty dress from H&M. It's only £15 and could be easily styled for both day and night. Sticking with the coral theme, I am in love with these bright, chunky wedges from New Look. Since I play it safe with black dresses and skirts the majority of the time, what better way to add a pop of colour to an outfit than through a pair of statement shoes?

I'm still playing around with lighter lipstick shades this month and as I have a pale complexion I'm interested to see how it works for me. I've read about this shade on a few blogs now and at £4.49 it's worth a try.

I'm really loving these statement floral shades from Dollybowbow! They're a bit daring and I'm not sure how often I would get away with wearing them but it's important to step out of your comfort zone sometimes. I love everything in Kate's shop and everything is so reasonably priced too!

I've had my eye on the Rebecca Mini Mac for quite a while and despite the hefty price tag I do think it's a worthwhile investment piece. It's a perfect everyday bag and the black leather and chunky hardwear will go with just about everything I wear. It might be about time I bite the bullet and splash out!

Finally, I can't forget to mention the Topshop 'Joni' jeans. They seem to become a bit of a cult favourite as of late and as I'm constantly on the hunt for a good quality pair of black skinny jeans, these might be the next pair to try.

What's on your wishlist for the upcoming season?

Beauty News | Hayley Williams for MAC

Hayley Williams for Mac


After successful collaborations with stars such as Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj, MAC is set to release it's new mini capsule collection with Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams on 9th April. The four piece mini-collection consisting of a nail polish, eyeshadow, blusher and lipstick, are all in striking shades of Hayley's trademark orange. 
Not one for orange lips myself, I'm not sure I will be purchasing the whole collection but I am certainly very tempted by the thought of tangerine nails for summer. The powdered products will definitely require a trip to the MAC counter for swatches though! What are your thoughts on this collaboration?
