Guest Post - Flo-bella's christmas wish list

Check out my guest post on my best girl's blog! Click the image below to view the post! 

November Wish List

Image definitely reflects your personality, and I think creating a wish list gives people an insight into the ideal you. I already have my christmas wishlist ready, but this is about showing you my ideal self!

    1. The first thing on my list is Ted Baker's botanical bloom bikini:

http://www.tedbaker.com/uk/Womens/Clothing/Swimwear/TTEMM-Botanical-bloom-print-bikini-top-Pale-Pink/p/115603-59-PALE-PINK

As some of you already know, I will be spending December/ January in South Africa and having this to wear on the beach would be a dream come true! The print is so delicate, plus the colour would look fab with a tan! I love Ted Baker's collections, especially the printed products. 

    

    2.

http://www.felicefabric.com/simoes-tribal-fit-flare-bodycon-dress/

Recently I have been lusting over this Felice Fabric Tribal fit and flare bodycon, I spotted the dress online when researching brands and completely fell for this beauty! The design is perfection and the colours are super pretty. 

    3. Most people know I LOVE white shoes! Which is obviously why I chose these to go on my wish list! 

 

http://www.harrods.com/product/tribute-croc-sandal/saint-laurent/000000000004542014?p=4542014&cat1=new-shoes&cat2=shoes-women-all

Saint Laurent shoes are timeless, and this pair is gorgeous! The subtle crocodile texture could be easily matched with anything and the style is super diverse. 

    4. Jeans are a staple piece for everyone's wardrobe, and ripped pairs are totally in right now!

http://liquornpoker.myshopify.com/collections/shop/products/liquor-n-poker-mohawk-white-ripped-mom-jean?variant=1005977280

I would 100% pair these with the Saint Laurent shoes and a simple white top. All white = my fave. I really love how the ripped detail isn't large holes, just distressed; which means they can be worn casually or dressed up.

    5. PJ's are an essential, but finding the perfect nightwear can be a challenge! 

http://www.bouxavenue.com/cynthia-spot-teddy--pink--mix/201349-20px

Boux Avenue's Cynthia spot teddy is uber cute and definitely feminine - not your average pair of comfy pyjamas. Garments like this always make you feel confident, fabby for a movie night with a special someone. I'd definitely wear this with cosy knee high socks (cute and warm).

    6. Makeup brushes are definitely an important base to your makeup collection, and having a good set is worth the money. 

http://www.bobbibrown.co.uk/products/2286/Brushes-etc/Organisers/Brush-Sets/index.tmpl

Bobbi Brown's basic brush set has every brush you will need to complete any look. I love the design of these brushes and the simplicity of them. 

    7.  I adore a good matte lipstick, they can last all day and give an edgy finish to any look. I experiment with colours and I think this Illamasqua number is lush!

http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/products/lips/lipsticks/matte-lipstick/corrupt-lipstick

The shade is corrupt and is described as 'warm bright pink', the swatches look fab and the packaging is amazing!

 

    8. My 18th birthday is coming up in a few months, and I've already dropped a few hints to my parents about this little gem. Which girl wouldn't love to have something from Tiffany & Co.?

 

http://www.tiffany.co.uk/Shopping/Item.aspx?fromGrid=1&sku=GRP01703&mcat=148204&cid=287466&search_params=p+1-n+10000-c+287466-s+2-r+-t+-ni+1-x+-lr+-hr+-ri+-mi+-pp+107+14&search=0&origin=browse&searchkeyword=&selectedsku=22993771

They have sooo many amazing designs, but I love this simple band with the brands name on it!

    9. Fur is fab for any occasion, casual or dressy. ASOS never disapoints when it comes to the latest trends, and these metalic shoes with fur detailing are gorgeous!

http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-HOW-WE-DO-Heeled-Sandals/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4331538&cid=19903&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=204&sort=-1&clr=White+mix&totalstyles=1040&gridsize=3





I love how the detailing is at the back rather than over the toe, it offers something different to other pairs available (not that I don't adore them too). But this design is super different and unexpected,they could easily be worn with some jeans or a dress.

    10. Okay the most extravagent item on my wish list HAS to be from my favourite fashion house; Dolce and Gabbana. Their collections are insane and definitely began my interest in fashion.

Owning a piece of their clothing would be completely surreal!  The lace detailing and cut of the dress is utter perfection. The colour is obviously a bonus for me, simple but stunning!

 

Autumn Florals

This post is soo overdue but I've been super busy recently as i'm currently in Ipswich visiting family. Sorry!! The weather is getting slightly gross (not a huge fan of the damp and cold) and it's getting darker in the days so I thought i'd use today as one of my last chances to go bare legged before going away at christmas. Cosy florals was my overall ensemble today; whilst still attempting to pull off the in-between seasons look.

I chose a mix of pastel pinks and charcoal to give that autumn feel. By layering a cropped jumper over a strappy cami dress the outfit was cut into perfect proportions of top, skirt and leg; I didn't want to make my legs look too short as I wore socks under my shoes.

My fabuleuse jumper from H&M has to be one of my faves as it is really snug but doesn't itch like some jumpers can. The sleeves are slightly too long so I tend to roll them up a bit - this adds a nice touch. And the hem is loose so hangs really nicely over anything. In winter this style jumper looks fab with high waisted jeans or a knitted/ leather skirt. 

Floral has always been one of my favourite trends as it is constantly reinvented. This year has seen a lot of watercolour style florals, including this Miss Selfridge dress. When I bought the dress it was actually suggested for festivals, however it is great for any season as it can be layered with knitted or black tights and a long sleeved top underneath when it gets colder. 

This coat has to be the best AW coat I have ever purchased! It's a wool blend lined with a satiny fabric. I love the length as it comes to about half way down my bum and doesn't feel restrictive or too short. The photos make it look more pink than it actually is; its more of a pale blush colour - super easy to match with anything. 

I risked strappy shoes instead of boots today, they helped to elongate my legs and they are less chunky than my cut out boots. Usually I wouldn't wear socks with these shoes but sheer ankle socks actually look quite pretty (especially with the shimmer). The petal design matched my dress quite well, but even plain sheer socks could look really nice if recreating this look. Just be careful with sheer socks as they can ladder really easily! 

If pink isn't your colour you can easily recreate this look using different coloured florals/ garments. I reckon this would also look fab with a slick topknot on a night out (ditch the coat and jumper obviously). And for makeup I would do a smokey eye and keep a pale lip colour. 

Accessory wise a black or white bag would look best with these colours to avoid an overload of pink, or you could pick out a colour from one of the flowers to match accessories with.
