THIS WEEK | Topshop Wishlist #5

    Being an absolute sucker for the onesie trend that may not be as prominent now than two months or so ago but still floating around, I couldn't help but add this to the wishlist. Personally I already own a crocodile, dinosaur and monkey onesie but why not have another dinosaur one. Compared to the onesies I own, this is quite expensive but the material inside is more fleecy like Topshop's sweatshirts which I would be willing to pay for a warmer onesie because the soul purpose of them is to be warm isn't it. The detailing is limited to the top of the hood with felt 'teeth' and kooky facial details making it more playful.

    Next is something that was either loved or loathed and its the beanie hat. I'm a big fan of hats and have worn them for 4/5 years now, when the trend first came out I liked the type of hat but because I have jaw length hair I avoided wearing them because I would resemble a boy. Going into autumn last year my hair was at a reasonable length and I've not stopped buying them since. The neon greens against the blacks make it a statement piece that could brighten up a simple all coloured outfit. It also fits into the new trend for SS '13 of sports related clothing items.

    Continuing with the green theme, this simplistic pencil skirt is the perfect versatile piece for the temperamental weather (especially in the UK). This could be styled however you deem fit, I would personally wear this with on over sized jumper up to my hips I do this already with a fitted slip dress I own which teams up as a pencil skirt as well. Hopefully Topshop might do this in a Tall version as being 5ft 9 I feel sometimes knee-length skirts end up above my knee and can look quite silly.

    By far these chunky boots are my favourite from the entire selection this week, and their price is quite reasonable. They're also a walk-able height with the heel being only 2.5" which I would consider the average height for a heeled boot. Being brightly white pairing these with black tights or a denim wash would make them stand out from the crowd more than any pair of heeled boots. Because of their price I'm considering on saving up for a pair of these, you could also pair these with frilly socks the give your outfit some texture.

    The next piece is something that personally I wouldn't wear as the A-Line shape of this skirt is something that is not flattering to my figure but nevertheless the print is what caught my eye. I have a body-con skirt that is extremely similar to this print, that I had to do a double take when scrolling down Topshop's page. I find this pattern is quite flexible as there's a wide variety of colours, the heavier base of grey also contributes taming it down if you have a louder piece up top.

Magical sparks

    If we go back a couple of months to 2011 everybody will remember the craze of onesies, with celebrities such as Jessie J and reality TV stars going out in public wearing such things high stores began to stock them. Primark were one of the first to pick up on this new fad, with monkey, tiger, devil and plain onesies selling for around £12 a piece, a lot of money could be made from these crazy creations.

    It then progressed to more higher branded stores such as Topshop and River Island, at this time the onesie craze exploded out of proportional. E Bay were providing unique onesie designs that became very popular - the main offender the pokemon onesie. Being sucked into the hype I decided to take it upon myself to buy one from Primark before everything sold out and with that I purchased a monkey version. I will not go back ever on that purchase, it is one of the most comfiest items of clothing I've owned.

    Wearing my onesie to gigs as I have a habit of queuing for unearthly hours this has been something essential, keeping me warm and making me more recognizable towards other people and the singers/band I'm watching on that particular day. After many months of having my one, onesie I decided it's time to invest in something new and that is the Unicorn Onesie. Being one of the more expensive onesies at £40 I believe the investment will serve it's purpose very well due to the amount of concerts I attend over the year.
