Summer Wish List

I'm very aware that recently I've been doing a lot of photo heavy posts and there are still more to come from the rest of my holiday, so to break it up a bit I thought I'd do a post about my current wish list.

I am currently coveting crop top/skirt combos, the matching kind. I see them everywhere on pinterest and blogs and I WANT! I've got a 'generous' hour glass figure so I always just assumed that crop tops were not for me, nobody wants to have to see this muffin top. But upon closer inspection of this latest trend, I realised that with the right style and fit, I too could rock the midriff! I was catching up with pinterest earlier today and came across this wonderful set that is just the perfect balance of fitted, flattering and sexy.

Throughout this summer I have been shielding my eyes from the sun with a pair of old, cheap sunglasses that are more scratch than lens now. I really like the simplicity of these Le Specs Ziggy Shades and I'm a sucker for a retro look round lens.

Next up is something I've been interested in for a long time, but only recently became fully sold on. I've read about Lime Crime's Velvetine lip colours several times on various blogs, but it wasn't until my friend, Julia, raved about their lasting power and non-transferability(?) that I was fully convinced. I can't decide which colour I like more though: Suedeberry, Red Velvet or Wicked?

Next is something a little more practical, I recently bought my first big handbag (I've always been a little bag kinda gal) and love how much stuff I can keep in it! But, when I want to bring my camera along too, it is way too cumbersome if it's left in its own bag and I'm worried about damaging it if I put it in there loose. So, I would love to have a compartmented camera/handbag that is both safe and practical and doesn't leave me digging around blindly for something tiny lost at the bottom. I love the style and colour of this bag by Darby Mack Designs and it looks like it would be incredibly useful to have all those pockets!

One thing my wardrobe is really lacking is a pair of mid-height heels that I can comfortably wear throughout a day. I have plain flats and sandals and winter boots, but no nice summery heel that I can dress down or up in. I love the current trend of chunky, wooden heeled sandals. They look durable and easy to style in any number of ways. I especially like these NANCY sandals by Topshop!

So, this is my list of things I will probably never own but desperately wish I did! Something I thought of adding to it is coconut oil, but I'll probably go pick up a jar for a couple of euros in the next few days, so it seemed unnecessary. I'm really interested in trying it as a skin and hair treatment. I've read several bloggers recently who are complete converts to its magical ways and as it's so cheap and supposedly multi-purpose I'm keen to try it for myself. I'll let you know if there's any news on that front!
