Favourite Items for SS13 (((So Far)))

    It's that time again to discuss my favourite products for the latest season, as always all of these items of clothes/shoes are from Topshop and links to each will be left under each photograph. If you've been looking through Topshop lately tell me your views on their latest SS13 picks!


'Peterpan Flower Flippy Dress' || £48.00
    This first clothing item is not actually featured in Topshop's SS13 collection for 'floral' wear, but the delicate, weightless flowers across the waist really caught my eye. The floral trend this year is extremely patterned  almost reminiscent of the jungle. I personally found the patterns too over powering, so this is the more subtle alternative which is still abiding by the floral trend. 
'Floral Jacquard Trousers' || £50.00
    Next up are another item in the 'floral' category and it's these Jacquard Trousers. With darker shades of oranges, reds and browns these trousers could be universally worn no matter what size you are. The colours and shape of the trousers make your hips appear smaller while elongating your legs, no matter how small or tall you are.
'Embroidered Tiger Sweater' || £32.00
    Bold print as you would of guessed from the floral trend are very big and in for SS13. This is my favourite piece out of them all, as it's vivid but due to the subtle green can be dressed up and down. The embroidery on the the chest is outstanding and you can tell you're paying for a good quality jumper. Piece this with a chunky gold chain and some indigo jeans and you've got an outstanding outfit for SS13.
'Cut Out Boots' || £85.00
    The last item are these bold white boots, these can defiantly be a statement piece to anybody's wardrobe. Whether you're going along with the new trends or not, you can't miss out on some killer white, cut out boots! The cut outs allow you to maybe show off some of your tan in the summer, or a tattoo that's always covered up in winter. Regardless these boots are a hot purchase and go perfectly with the 'white' trend!

OCTOBER | Wish List

    Falling back into sync of blogging, I've seen so many beautiful products that I want to just snap up straight away. Unfortunately I'm pretty strapped for cash recently, so I must admire from afar and why not let you share my pain (joke), admiring them together. A few of these items have come out a couple of months ago but I'm still as desperate to buy them. All the links to the products will be at the very end of the post, in chronological order. Enjoy!



   If you're a fan of Agyness Deyn you will know straight away why her name and these shoes are being thrown together. The British model teamed up with Doc Martens bringing out her own shoe range and clothes collection, these are one of my favourite pieces from the range. Having the grunge 1990's vibe to them, these are a great item to bring into fall which will keep your feet warm and dry in the colder and wetter season. These shoes cost around £150, which is quite expensive for a boot however these bad boys will last you a good 10 years, so you get your moneys worth.


    I wasn't joking about Agyness Dean's collection being beautiful, as another product has made it onto my 'wish list'. It is this long t-shirt/dress combination, which is brilliant for the new season. As you can see from the photo above, there is a longer back to the front, covering your bottom successfully. The simplicity of this piece makes it so appealing to me, as you can wear it with anything in your wardrobe and it'll look great. Again a pricey item at £35 brand new, although the equivalent of this design could cost £5 more in Topshop. Making this more reasonable to pay so much.


    On the subject of Topshop, this t-shirt is after my own heart. All the aspects scream "Buy me Melissa!" the print of a cats face is wonderful as I love cats, the sleeves are longer than normal so it wouldn't be annoying, its black so it matches everything and the oversized shape of it makes me imagine it being comfortable and so wearable. I'm sure you can see a recurring theme of dark, gothic items in this post. Considering we're peaking on Halloween now and Christmas only 60 days away, it only seems appropriate to pull out my grunge self to match the daily weather. This t-shirt is more reasonable, priced at only £20 however the material does seem quite thin, so layering would be required. 


    Now completely contradicting myself on the dark, gothic theme. I've fallen in love for this little rose gold metallic clutch. This can be, and I believe is supposed to be used as a clutch but I would use this as a makeup bag. The bag I have at the moment is filled with pencil sharpenings and is generally disgusting, so this would be a nice alternative to my dark navy blue scalloped bag. Keeping in the the trend of metallic  this piece is simple, with a nice slogan across the front. Being only £10 you could treat yourself (see what I did there) to this, or purchase it as a really nice present.
