Bittersweet.

Thursday, May 5, 2011
My absence has paid off, i now have a good sixty pages of dissertation draft, detailing the exciting trials and tribulations of men's magazines. Twenty thousand words later my brain is frazzled to say the least. I really am a worrier, a total stress head. Embarrassingly so, that when a lady stopped me a few weeks back to ask where i purchased my dress, i replied FHM not H&M. Queue awkward looks. 

Alas freedom is still very far off, as i have my final meeting with my supervisor tomorrow to discuss whether any last amendments have to be made. Despite the fact i'm shitting it and feel like projectile vomiting with nerves, i'm so relived to finally say i'm somewhat finished. So whilst i keep everything double crossed and pray that it doesn't need a complete overhaul, i leave you with some lovely lustings. 


Mexicana Embroidered Shift Dress - Topshop (£38.00)

Whilst this dress looks rather basic, the embroidery detail on the sleeves and chest is awfully pretty. A perfect, simple summer dress that can be worn casually with tan sandals and loose curls, or dressed up with wedges and loose up do.. lusting much? 


Red Flower Print Wrap Sundress - Topshop (£36.00)

As soon as i spotted this dress on a mannequin i was instantly drawn too it, surprisingly so. I never tend to branch out to bright colours, preferring to stick with classic neutral tones. But saying that, i'm really drawn to the burnt orangany red shade, not to mention the 50's style is definitely warranting a trying on session for sure!

 Chiffon Side Tuck Blouse - Topshop (£34.00)

I've been biding my time to find the perfect chiffon blouse, some are far too 'shirty' for my liking, and not near enough feminine. I adore the cute gold buttons and the loose sleeves, its simple yet classic - plus it would go with absolutely anything. 

Cream Beaded Jacket -Miss Selfridge (£65.00)

Every season i gaze longingly at the embellished beaded blouses and jackets, but completely thrown off by the price. They had a stunning dark navy beaded and sequinned blouse around Christmas at Topshop,  although i'm sure i would have worn it to death, the fifty plus price tag is just too steep. But i can't help but fall in love all over again with this Miss Selfridge jacket throw over. It doesn't have to be overpowering, simply over a white tee matched with some cigarette pants it could look fabulous. yay or nay?


Orange Blossom Tea Dress - New Look (£39.99)

Another amazing piece from New Look, still seriously upping their game this season. This tea dress is disgustingly pretty, with tiny little buttons adding the perfect touch. I literally need this in my life pronto. Clearly i am not the only one, as this limited edition dress is only available in size 8 for the mean time. This would look perfect with a pair of tan brogues or ballet shoes. 


Scallop Collar Top - New Look (£19.99)

Some while ago i spotted a shirt in H&M, even now i feel bloody angry at myself for not purchasing it. A simple crisp white shirt, yet it had a small black ribbon tie around the neck, in a little bow. Ever since, i have searched high and low for a similar style.Yet this New Look blouse is near enough the same, with an added scalloped detail collar, how many trends can you fit in one blouse eh?

Any items you are lusting over recently? It is pay-day tomorrow!
