weekly wishlist #9 - miss selfridge



1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Miss Selfridge is a shop I always seem to forget about when shopping. I tend to go in as few shops as possible otherwise I'll know I'll be out all day! However, looking through their website last night, I found some gorgeous pieces that I NEEEED in my wardrobe!

The shorts are perfect for summer, paired with a plain tee or a patterned vest, they scream festival! They would also look great with tights underneath, which is handy in England with our unpredictable summer weather.

You've probably noticed my obsession with dip hem skirts, I have 3 already but i want more! I've been searching for the perfect patterned skirt to add to my collection and I think this might just be it. The pastel colours are so lovely, and I know it will go with so much in my wardrobe.

The coral shoes are so so gorgeous, and I really need them in my shoe cupboard. I'm not ridiculously short (5ft6) but I have some really tall friends so when we go for a night out, big heels are a must so I don't get towered over! haha

Is there any shops you've recently fallen back in love with?



Barry M 52 - Shocking Pink

Barry M - Shocking Pink (52)

I bought this lipstick back in April as a present for my best friend as she was throwing a 'rubix cube' themed party. I thought the colour was so bright that it would only be used for those sorts of events. However a couple of weeks ago I went out with my friends while they were all back for easter and I borrowed it to match my bright pink skirt and at that moment I fell in love! I bought my own after visiting 4 different Boots/Superdrug stores and finally hunting it down. Anyway enough of the boring story, here's some facts.

This is a blue-toned BRIGHT pink with a matte finish. However I find the Barry M finishes always vary as when I used my friends it made my lips look so dry, yet my lipstick glides on perfectly and doesn't really need any lipbalm underneath. It stays on for hours and I never need to touch it up on a night out, however this turns into a con as it always stains my lips after wearing it.

Overall, I think the colour is amazing, I have yet to find a pink lipstick this vibrant with the same staying power and for only £4.49! The only thing I'd worry about is that if you tend to have dry or cracked lips, make sure you exfoliate them first and use then a lip balm, making you sure blot off the excess product before applying this to your lips.

lipstick - barry m 52

I've thrown this on quickly before going to uni today, this skirt is so comfy so it's perfect for sitting in a lecture all day. I'm definitely going to throw on some tights before I leave because it's really windy outside and theres a high chance someone will see my underwear if i don't cover up haha.
I'm trying out this new lipstick I bought last week, it's a gorgeous colour, but so so bright! I wonder how many weird looks I'll get on the commuter train before I get paranoid and change it back to my nude? It's fair to say that this colour is 100% out of my comfort zone but I love it too much to not give it a try.

This is only a quick post as I need to go otherwise I'll be running for the bus! I'm currently writing this instead of eating breakfast, a perfect excuse to buy greggs on the way to uni haha.
