The Simple & Risky Want List #2
Risky, you say? Yes, I hate jeans and tops that are waist length... I'm a freak, I know. Confidence issues suck, but I love this outfit!
I'm loving River Island recently, I haven't been shopping in a couple weeks and I fell in love with everything in sight. There was so many different patterns, colours, styles, and this top caught my eye, it's so colourful! Paired with some simple black jeans, the ones I have picked are from Topshop, something of which has never been on my legs before. I just hate jeans, how tight they are (I say that, but I wear leggings all the time, which doesn't make sense) and uncomfortable and I don't like how they look on my legs - I'm yet to try how amazing Topshop jeans are. I want these shoes, I actually love ALL the shoes at Urban Outfitters right now, I just hate the price tag. I think they have similar shoes in Primark at the moment (I can hear them calling me) which most definitely won't be £80.
I'm also finally on the Michael Kors watch bandwagon, I want this watch so bad! I'm not a fan of the massive rose gold jewelled style but when David kindly sent me the link to the Amazon deals on Michael Kors watches and I actually saw a couple which I really liked. I can't believe the prices either, most of the watches are 'more affordable' than I thought they were. Dammit now I need to find a spare £140...

着物 = KIMONO CRAZE
Kimonos are a traditional Japanese garment and which are a must have item this Spring/Summer and an essential piece of your 2013 festival wardrobe!
Here are some of my favourite I've picked out for you, tell us what you think...
They are perfect over a bikini or swimsuit, or try one with a pair of denim shorts with the boots and bag as shown above too pull off the perfect festival look!
They also look great with wellies for all you festival goers or even carry it off all year round with a pair of jeans and flats!
Are you attending a festival this year?
Will you be purchasing a Kimono?
What do you think of the ones I have picked out?

S/S13- Leather
LEATHER
Firstly I think a good leather jacket is a staple in anyones wardrobe and can be worn with practically anything! Secondly I love this bag, (2) this is the smart/ sophisticated look I was talking about above, it is perfect for everyday wear whether you are going shopping or going to work and again an over sized bag is something I believe everyone should have in there wardrobe (maybe more than one).
Why not try something new on a smaller scale with the Nails inc. black leather nail varnish as worn by celebs, it really does work and can be bought in a pack with skulls to give that edgy look and something a bit more fun and different with the recent rise in the nail art craze!
The CHANEL bag is on my wish list, a long with lots of other CHANEL items! Although it is not currently in my price range as a student, it's definitely something I will be purchasing in the future, and hopefully more than one!
P.s. When Charlotte is back in Leeds we will tell you all about our trip to see Queen Bey!
Leather is bang on trend this Spring/Summer and can be worn by absolutely anyone. It can give you that cool edge or a rocky relaxed vibe, even a smart sophisticated look can be achieved with leather depending on what you wear it with and how you accessorize around it.
1. Topshop £52 Collarless biker jacket // 2. Topshop £75 Plated leather tote // 3. River island £75 Black leather look chain long jacket // 4. Topshop £70 Leather loafers by J.W Anderson for Topshop // 5. Nails inc. £19 bling it on black leather & skulls // 6. CHANEL

Passion for Fashion?
Hey lovelies!
Moneysupermarket.com are holding a 'Passion for Fashion' competition and to enter all you need to do is write a blog post and show them how you would find an outfit for under £200 for each of these categories; Casual wear, Party wear and Holiday wear! Obviously I had to this, I love a good challenge and creating my own outfits even if it makes me really upset that I can't buy all the nice things I want. The closing date of the competition is 8th April 2013, so you have loads of time and for more information check it out here.
So here are my outfits!
This outfit took me so long, I'm not quite sure why, but it was definitely time well spent. I saw this Miss Selfridge dress in the store not so long ago and it's been on my wishlist since, I love it, it's so adorable and I have such a weakness for an embellished collar.
Originally I was going to use the Mini Sienna Padlock Bag from Topshop as the colour matched so well with the brogues and the belts however with the price tag of £75 I thought that I could find a bag just as good for cheaper, after all we all love a good bargain, and I think this bag looks just as good if not better.
The socks actually come part as a 3 pack, therefore for £8 I didn't think was so bad because then you can mix and match the socks with other shoes to create a whole new look and the belts also come as a 2 Pack for £4.99 which is brilliant as both belts would really go with the whole outfit.
I love the neon trend at the moment. My original plan was just to have a neon clutch, however I've wanted a bow clip from AA for ages now, and when I saw they did it in orange, it just would look so cute at the back of my hair and I also thought that the dress would look great with a chunky statement necklace and when I came across this chain one from Topshop, it was like it was meant to be.
I really want these flatforms from Riverisland, I don't like wearing heels because I just tower above everyone else so I normally wear flatforms and I think that these shoes will last a good while as the tread is pretty big!
If you've not already guessed already, Coral/Pink is my favourite colour, I have so many Coral items in my wardrobe, and this summer I will probably buy a whole lot more, I hope. Coral looks great with a tan and when I found this Topshop Cover up I was in love, no matter what swim suit you pick, you could probably pair it with this cover up. The Sandals are just made for the sun, apparently as they are called 'easy tan summer sandal' and there is nothing worse than tan lines, especially embarrassing ones.
This AA bag will be perfect hold all for the beach, you definitely will be able to fit everything in like a towel, dry clothes, books and camera, everything you need!
I love River Island Sunglasses, they suit me a lot better than most sunglasses and for £13 they are a little price to pay. Unfortunately I lost my last pair when I was in Turkey in this beautiful flowing river, nearly cried when it happened and was hunting for ages to find them but as soon as they fell off my head, they were gone *sigh*. If we ever get a summer again this year, they are definitely the first purchase!

Watch time is it?
Hello Lovelies,
Been busy past couple of days trying to fit everyone in to say bye before going back to Uni at the weekend. I went out Saturday afternoon to take some Theory 59 band photos. They only gave me 30 minutes to photograph their pretty faces in a bitterly cold, windy field, I've not looked at them yet nor edited them so I'm not sure what they are like, I will post them when they are ready.I also watched Dynamo, Magician Impossible series 2 last night, I really am just mind blown by Dynamo and it frustrates me that his tricks are impossible? Surely? I will be first to get tickets if and when he does a Live show, I need to see it for my own eyes!!
A brown simple watch would be perfect like the ones below that I've had my eye on
1) ASOS Rabbit ears watch £20I really wish this was a Cat not a Rabbit, the Cat watch isn't as cute and it has a black strap which sucks but I think that this Rabbit one is adorable
2) Casio Mini Digital Watch £30
A Casio Watch was on my Christmas list however I forgot to tell both my Momma and Papa, so Santa didn't know hehe. You can get these from various places like American Apparel which are slightly more expensive or you can get a good deal on eBay
3) River Island Vintage Style Patent Croc £15
This is sold out on both the River Island and ASOS website, I can totally understand why, This has to be one of my favourites out of this bunch. I love the Roman Numerals on the clock face.
4) Classic St Andrews Lady £166ish
This is my favourite watch out of the Daniel Wellington collection and what I would give to get one, just a bit out of my student budget at the moment, booey!
5) Brown Skinny Floral Watch £15
I like the simple floral design on the clock face and its such a good price
6) Brown Antique Watch £20
This is also one of my favourite watches, again I love the Roman Numerals on the clock face and I really like the colour of the strap
I will definitely be purchasing one of these in the next couple of weeks, need to get my save on!
I currently can not stop listening to the Foals. They're releasing a new album, Holy Fire which is out on the 11th February, and the two songs they have released already are just fabby! Give them a listen and definitely buy their new album, I will be...
