Wednesday Wishlist


I've wanted a big felt hat for ages, but they're all the same really aren't they? But this one is just enough Western for me, with the mega cool cowboy type badges adorned to the edges. Need.

The 90's isn't going anywhere.

Because I think you should always try and dare yourself to wear something out of the ordinary. I've been crying over how much I love flares and how short my legs are (baaad combination) but I might just have to purchase these from Zara as a test. 

I might have several (hundred) black tees, but this one has kimono sleeves and a high neck. And a zip on the back. So...

Again, no reason, just because.

You can never have too many stripey shirts, and I love the Oxford style simplicity of this one.

I've never had a good watch, so this changeable strap one by Timex looks perfect!

So shiny. I'd wear this with the following shoes and cry with happiness I think... 

Errr, hello, because who doesn't want to wear these shoes all day every day? They're going to make every outfit, even jeans and a black tee look mega.

Croatia Style File #5


I have incredibly fair skin, so apart from picking up a few freckles here and there, my tan is unfortunately pretty non-existent! But at least I didn't burn. I did, however, get eaten alive by the mosquitoes of Croatia - repellent wipes didn't even work!

This oversized, vintage shirt is maybe the best thing I ever bought. I love ASOS marketplace but I hardly ever purchase anything from it - this was a complete impulse purchase and I'm so happy with it! It's just the right amount of Hawaiian shirt without me looking like a complete douché (I hope!)

Croatia Style File #4


Another day at the beach, another beachy outfit. I'm obsessed with crochet at the moment and had been searching everywhere for something white and pretty, when I remembered that I'd picked up this Zara number in the sale a couple of years ago! I love finding things in my wardrobe that have been forgotten about, and restyling them with a fresh mind. 

I think it's my summer staple, and I can't wait to wear it out for drinks with big gold hoops and a black slip dress underneath!

Croatia Style File #3


We drove down to Zuljana on our third day for a day at the beach. Most beaches in Croatia are pebbled so we thought we'd just stay for an hour or two! We discovered a tiny cove, off the beaten track, up a lot of very steep steps and through some bushes and ended up staying there a good few hours! 

The thing I love most about travelling is discovering parts of the world and different countries you'd never normally see.

I wore this out for our first proper 'meal out', mostly to disguise the three hundred mosquito bites on my legs! Joking aside, this is probably the most un-me thing I've ever worn, but I'm completely in love with my Waiste vintage skirt! 

I used to wear these type of skirts all the time when I was about 7 or 8, so this is a total throw back. The loose linen fabric and tie waist makes it the perfect holiday piece, and paired with my fringed suede boots I felt like I was off to the wild-west!
