Weekly Wishes

Anyone who tries to tell me this fringed kimono isn't magnificent needs to go and sit in a corner and think about what they have done.

Weekly Wishes

If there is a present fairy out there that has been keeping a low profile because they didn't know what to get me, it's fine! You can come out of hiding now, I've done all of the hard work! All I want is this...

Put simply it is magnificent... and it is on sale. Oh River Island, how you please me!

Weekly Wishes

Those of you that know me will know that I have moved! I didn't just move house or country, but continent and I have found myself living in Dubai again which is a pretty exciting development!

Thanks to my small 'Relocation, Relocation' my life has been squashed into two cases and is now in chaos, however this has by no means dampened my ever present urge to internet window shop!

I am really into paper bag waist maxi skirts at the moment and although I love these New Look ones I think that River Island have released the best collection. My favourite one is this one with feather print detail (£35), perfect for an autumn in Dubai wouldn't you say?!

Perhaps it is because of the move, but I am also thinking about decorative bits and bobs. I have photo frames stocked full of my nearest and dearest but what I really want to lift my room's plain white walls with is a Charmaine Olivia painting. I am by no means calling for an original (I will be waiting a while for a cheque that can accommodate one) but I would love a couple of her silhouette prints to hang on my walls!  My favourite two are the matching, and very fitting, Little Houses Silhouettes but I also adore this Boat Hat Silhouette.

Charmaine Olivia's work is stocked at etsy.com and in Urban Outfitters if you want to snap some up yourself. I wrote a feature on her for my university magazine back in May and fell a little bit in love, I think it was the tea drinking bit of her 'about me'. I will see if, some how, I can be a technical wizard and get a copy of my article up here.

What are you lusting for this week?

Weekly Wishes

Dedicated and very much back! Here I am again with another edition of my Weekly Wishes. This week all I can think about is what I am going to don for my Graduation Ball. Yes, its not until July but I am considering my dresses now and feel obliged to share it here. Reluctantly ruling out the cracker of a dress worn by Ukraine's Eurovision contestant this year, I have moved on and realised that feather-clawed shoulders are not the direction I should be looking in.

Instead I have narrowed my hunt down to one of these three:

French Connection - Anna Lace Dress (£110)
This beaut comes in royal blue, red and turquoise. I absolutely love it but I am a bit worried it is not "ball" enough, being lace with its fairly high seam.

River Island - Gold Frill Shoulder Maxi (£69.99)
I adore this dress, and the length and colour make it seem much more ball appropriate, but given that it is a River Island Dress I worry that I'd roll up to the bash and see seven other girls in the same dress. Unlikely, but possible.

Jasmine Guinness - Marble Print Silk Maxi (£62)

This dress is a favourite because it has the maxi glamour but is not from a High Street hot spot... plus I have a £30 off voucher for Very, which makes it an appealing choice! 

Decisions, decisions! I'll let you know what I eventually decide on.
