Zara Wishlist.

We all love Zara, they never fail us high street junkies!

I bought these white ripped boyfriend jeans in the sale for like £10 or something silly! I LOVE them. This was the first time I have worn them as the weather hasn't really permitted it. This day was freezing but the sun was shining and no rain was forecasted so I bit the bullet! I teamed them with a simple black vest top, my black fluffy cardi, and h&m jacket, with my roshes. I was going to wear my black ankle boots, but was going to be doing a fair bit of walking, so I'll save them for next time. 



 
 

So, I went into Zara last weekend to see their new collection. There were many items I tried on and wanted to purchase but the bank balance is a little tight at the moment. Not the greatest of photos to follow-  especially as my mid-drift is out! 



This jumper - no words to describe my love for it. Probably not the most practical of tops, and it would be one of those items I buy for the sake of owning it and not actually wearing it. Come on, you all have at least one of these items in your wardrobe?! (Usually shoes?) But this jumper - bang on for the 'sheer trend' (afterthought - thats going to be my next blog.)



 
Since starting this post I have been on the Zara wesbite - I know why do I do this to myself? But I work at a computer and have my lunch at my desk - only means one thing... online wishing/ dreaming!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hurry up warmer weather - it is too cold to wear these and then they will be sold out by the time the sun is out!
 
Ugly but so right!
 
 
 
 
I'm not even going to post the clothes I saw online or else we will be here for even longer! Whats on your Zara Wishlist?

How I'd wear #1

How I'd wear Bambi...

I saw a Givenchy style sweatshirt in primark. I bought it but then couldn't bring myself to wear it, so returned it.

I would never be able to afford the real thing, But here is how I would wear it...
Sweatshirt: Givenchy
Jeans: Paige Verdugo
Black Trousers: Balmain
Printed Joggers: Topshop
Grey Skirt: J.W Anderson
Tartan Skorts: Topshop
Cream Skirt: Carven
Black Boots: Alien
Trainers: New Balance 574
Heels: Topshop
Bag: Michael Kors
Earrings and Midi Rings: Topshop
Red Lipstick: Lancome 
Pink Lipstick: Victoria's Secret

The majority of the above, I also wouldn't be able to afford! ha. However we can all dream of how we would wear these items, especially for inspiration when shopping on the high street and online! 

How would you wear yours?

There's no excuses...

...for my absence, apart from the fact that I  have joined the gym, so have literally lived there all this week. I think I'm nearly settled in my new Edinburgh flat. The house share isn't perfect, but what is?

I'm getting the hang of my new job, I have already traveled down south to visit stores and their visual merchandising. I have finished one cool project and in the process of organising another one - which is creating a display for a display case in a shopping centre.  This is something I have really enjoyed doing, and still enjoying, hope I get the next one. I put it into action in October and will definitely take a pic of my handy work. So will pop in in post somewhere!

Not really got that much of a social life atm, (not that I had one back at home!) but I managed to see the end of the Fringe Festival. Which was fun. I would deffo recommend it to anyone that was thinking  about going next year. (Maybe see you there?) This was the first time I had been to a comedy show. I've always been worried I wouldn't get the jokes. There were only like two that I didn't get. Ha.

I've eaten out at this amazing place... 56 North


Yes. It was as good as it looks: mushroom, pepper, mozzarella and pesto burger. NOM. I absolutely love how the fries came!

Jumper: Urban Outfiters (not that much of a jumper really, as its not thick or warm, but looks great thrown over anything!)
Dress: White Chocoolate from Asos
Boots: Schuh
Necklace: Zara
Choker: Topshop

My first week in the flat, me and the boyf did quiet a few walks, getting to know Edinburgh etc. There are so many beautiful buildings - and this is from a girl that never thought she'd say that. Ha. There's also lots of hills and stairs! 




My jumper obsession: Zara (of course its Zara, you can just tell right?!) 
Skirt: River Island from Asos
Coat: Topshop (old) 


Pink is everywhere... I like it... so pink made it into my wardrobe. I do want a pink coat, I've seen so many that I can't afford, and a really nice one in Topshop that I can afford. But I'm just thinking it is not going to be practical in rainy Scotland! I bet it would get grubby quickly. Eugh - when did I start to care about practicality. It would look so pretty in my wardrobe tho. My hair has also gone back to being pink, well 'candy floss' so not as bright as it was before. I did try to take a 'selfie' but i suck at them. (Jumper is from Primark, bought 2 sizes too big so that it was wearable!) 

Some random shots:

My Schuhbie night out outfit, originally I wanted this jumpsuit in black but they didn't have my size, so my friend talked me into buying the orange! and I loved it! 
Jumpsuit: Topshop
Heels: Schuh
Choker: Topshop
Black Slip Dress: Topshop
Black Heels: Topshop
Clutch Bag: Zara (sale)

Tartan and cut out hype.
Skirt: Zara
Shoes: New look


Attempting a changing room selfie. I totally regret not buying this detailed Topshop jumper. I may have to return for it.

I'm so glad I bought this beauty before I left Derby, well in fact its from a vintage shop called COW in Nottingham. When I'm back home I will deffo be taking a trip to check out what other goodies they have. 

I can't believe how quick time is going.
