With October rapidly approaching, I'm thinking about my autumn wardrobe and all the gaps that need filling. Autumn is my favourite time of year to shop for - all the layering, chunky knits and different textures - it's so fun to change up my usual style and have a play with new season pieces. 
Here's just a couple of things I've spotted recently, all relatively affordable with the most expensive item being the beaut Burgundy Suede Jacket from River Island. I have been after a jacket like this for years, and I really do mean years, the only probably was, it didn't exist anymore. I'd seen designer versions for over a thousand pounds and an old season Missguided one that was perfect, but alas they no longer sold it in that colour. With suede jackets being a huge trend this A/W it's good to see brands are catching on and hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on the jacket of dreams.
I've got my eye on all the slouchy jumpers. Oversized, knitted, chunky and comfy - the usual criteria. I'm particularly loving the ASOS Twisted Back Jumper to give a simple outfit a subtle sexy edge and the La Redoute Oversized Cable Knit Jumper for when I all I want is effortless comfort. (I actually had my eye on this last year after spotting it on The Frugality, so think it might be time to bite the bullet - especially with the current 20% off!)
I seem to have worn out every practical pair of boots I own, so a major shoe haul is needed. I'm on the look out for a stylish but practical pair, with a heel that isn't too high, a pointed toe and to come up to just above my ankle, so I don't ask for much...! This pair from TU at Sainsbury's are pretty perfect.

Hello! I thought I'd throw together a little Spring Wishlist as I'd seen so many beautiful things! I always think Spring to Autumn seems like such a big jump wardrobe wise. The sun appears and I suddenly want to dowse myself in pastels and wear flowers in my hair!
(Click the shop link below to view the items)
1. Black Lace Blouse, Sheinside - I've seen any tops like this on the highstreet and with a price like that, it would be rude to say no!
2. Mandala Print Tank, ASOS - I'm obsessed with Mandala prints so this this slouchy tank top is perfect.
3. Beige Layered Dress, Fashion Union - With wedding season, holiday season and, lets face it, 'show a little bit of skin' season coming up, dresses like this one are perfect to dress up or dress down!
4. White Wide Leg Trousers,Missguided- I've got an hourglass figure, so I'm not 100% this style will suit me.. but if Kim K can get away with it... so can I, right?
5. Blue Knitted Jumper, Pretty Little Thing - I've got a thing for coloured jumpers paired with white jeans at the moment. This gorgeous baby blue number
6. Black T-Shirt Dress, ASOS - Perfect to sling on for comfort and then accessorise.
7. Lace Cold Shoulder Dress, ASOS - So dreamy. Festivals, beach days, pub gardens, sunny walks, anything.
8. Beige Wide Leg Trousers - Missguided - Again, another one I'm not entirely sure will suit me, but I'm dying to get my hands on a pair.
9. Blue & White Playsuit, Boohoo - I'm a complete sucker for a blue and white combo. I love the shape of this playsuit too.
10. Floral Print Oversized Shirt, Missguided - I've had my eye on this for a while, I think I might jus thave to give in to temptation.
11. Peach Jersey Top, Missguided - A pretty spring/summer basic to have lurking in the wardrobe.
12. Black & White Kimono, Boohoo - Kimonos are fab when it's warm, but a little too chilly for bare arms! Black and white keeps in simple, but it's made more interesting by a bold print!

There might just be an Spring Accessories Wishlist coming too... What have you got your eye on?
Starting into my wardrobe, I flicked through summer dress after summer dress and decided I needed to pick up a few autumn staples.
I browsed through a few sites and settled on one of my favourites, Missguided!
Normally pretty dangerous for me to go on there as I spot piece after piece I want to put in my basket... but I have to resist and only select a few.
This off the shoulder jumper is suuuper comfy. With a neckline that allows you to have either shoulder out, or even it propped on the edge of both of your shoulders it's very easy to wear.
I love pairing it with jeans and my wine coloured floppy hat from Topshop, chic yet comfortable! You can purchase this comfy jumper here!
I have had my eye on high neck tops for a while, but I wasn't sure how flattering they would be on me. I am so glad I purchased this number from Missguided. It's so flattering! Comfy and goes with pretty much everything. They sell it in a variety of colours too. It's probably best to wear a bra with adaptable straps in you don't like them showing with this top, it looks a lot better (I didn't think about this for these photos...!) Get your hands on it here!
The main thing I actually went searching for were some autumn/winter day dresses. This a-line dress with a turtle neck really stood out to me as I haven't got anything like it already. After a very long time of flittering between the black, teal and grey... I decided to go for black. You can't go wrong with it and everyone needs a little black dress!
Had to defy the rather strong sea breeze...
Now I've got these beauties, it's gonna be hard to get me wearing anything else !
I'll tell you want I want, what I really, really want...
(Couldn't resist a Spice girls reference*, sorry)
'Enjoy The Simple Things In Life' Cushion H&M - I'm collecting up bit for my room in my new flat and this cushion would be perfect on my bed. Lovely little saying to keep me positive.
KMS California Tame Frizz - I have the frizziest hair. Not quite an afro, but pretty frizzy and sometimes it can be a little un-tame-able! I like to blowdry my hair so I need to ban that frizz sometimes! Apparently this stuff is perfect for taming it.
BeautyMarks 'The New Makeup' - These look super cool. Gold foil tattoos. Perfect for festivals and holidays. I bet they look great with a tan.
Missguided Pierina Geometric Print Playsuit - I love the colours in this playsuit, the clashing, yet at the same time matching patterns looks so chic. Also a very flattering neckline!
KIKO Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow - I've really wanted to buy the By Terry Ombre Blackstar eyeshadow sticks, but at the steep price of £28 from Space NK I couldn't bring myself to do it. These KIKO dupes apparently live up to the hype so I really want to get my hands on a few.
Big Spoon, Little Spoon Pillow Cases - Love at first sight with these! Definitely going in my new room in September! I'm sure I can't be the only one whose boyfriend always make them be the big spoon?!

*Apologies for that spice girls reference, I'll admit it was awful... haha!
Hello there!
I really enjoy reading and looking at peoples Wishlist or at what they're lusting after! I thought I'd give it a go myself. Being a student means I can't just buy everything I want when my student loan comes in, I have to spend carefully. So, I shall just have to vent my wants/needs on here!
1. Sweet Cecily's Mojito Lip Balm. I am an absolute sucker for a Mojito (Any cocktail in fact...) but mojitos are a personal favourite! I definitely will be treating myself to this one...
2. Tanya Burr's Lip Gloss (Available online at Feel Unique or Superdrug. In stores soon!) I am dying to try these lip glosses. I'm not usually a huge lip gloss person, more a lip stick kinda girl, but these look lovely and everyone is raving about them! I want to try 'Picnic In The Park' and 'Aurora'. I have way too many nail varnishes to justify buying any Tanya Burr ones, but they may just to be an exception...
3. Deep Sleep Pillow Spray by This Works. Mind traffic seems to be a problem nearly every night with me. I switch everything off, settle down to relax and my mind goes crazy. This sounds perfect and relaxing to me, so I'd love to give it a try.
4. Poppy Strappy Sandals in Floral Print From Missguided. I just think in Summer, with white jeans, a bright, yet plain and simple top with bright nail varnish on your toes these would look perfect. Simple, yet stylish.
5. Smock Dress with Baby Deer Print from ASOS. I spotted this beauty in one of Zoella's recent videos 'How To: Halo Braid' and absolutely loved it. I'm really fond of the interesting print, but I'm not sure if the style will suit me, as I normally prefer things that go in at my waist. I'm willing to risk the purchase though, it's gorgeous!
6. Instax Mini 8 Camera by Fujifilm. Oh boy, I am so tempted. The only thing putting me off is how expensive the film is. I need to think long and hard about this one!
7. Forest Green Culotte Shorts from Topshop. I saw a friend wearing these recently, they looked amazing and they were so flattering! I've got a small waist and big hips, so this style is good for my figure. I like that they're shorts, but do look like a skirt. Might try a pair on next time I'm in Topshop!
