Bon Prix Wishlist

Bon Prix Dress*

The image above is one you may recognise from a previous blog post.  The blog post was about the Bon Prix clothing line and the beautiful glitter dress I was sent. When I wrote the post I admitted that Bon Prix wasn't my first choice of shopping destination and that I regarded it as an 'older woman's' store in the past, however upon receiving that dress my outlook had changed and I fell in love with quality, the fit and the style. The dress is not only one of my favourites, but that post was one of my most popular on the blog, still getting a high amount of page views. It was this reason that I decided to have a look at Bon Prix again and see what I could next purchase.



I've always had a lust for leather. Leather trousers, shorts, jackets and even t-shirts - I have to have it. Whilst browsing Bon Prix, I decided to make a wish list and it comes as no surprise that this dress was first on the mood board.  The thing I like the most about it is the fact that it isn't all leather. It looks more sophisticated this way and even could double up as a work outfit. Sometimes a little bit too much leather can be over the top, but this combination looks great and very fitting with the autumn colour scheme and I could easily see this becoming one of my favourite party dresses coming up to winter.


My future brother-in-law is always having a go at me saying my bags are massive. I admit it, I love my oversized bags because they fit all my shopping in without me carrying around the extra hand luggage. However, I freely admit that it may be time to purchase a few smaller bags so I can attempt to look a little more sophisticated. I think this little tassel tote bag is absolutely adorable. Beautiful colours, lots of detail and for £30 its a steal. If there's one thing I love the most on this wish list, that is it.


Finally, they're not quite Jeffrey Campbell spiked Loitta's, but I think these spiked back patent court shoes look really snazzy and complete my 'rock'n'roll' vibe outfit. I can easily image wearing these on a night out or to a gig and the heel looks at a comfortable everyday wearing height. As much as I love my stilettos, since my knee operation I do have to be slightly careful with what I wear on my feet. One slip and I could end up reversing all the months of physio I've had in the past. Then again, if I was told I'd ever have to give up heels, I would cry like there's no tomorrow, sobbing endlessly into my favourite Kurt Geigers. 

So there's my Bonprix wish list, what do you think of my choices?

Wishlist

When you're sat in bed on a Monday evening and feeling pretty unwell, your mind starts wondering. Often, my head is full of pretty, feminine items that I wish would suddenly appear in my wardrobe. My wishlist is full of amazing pretty items from stores such as Mulberry, Jimmy Choo, Ted Baker and Gap. There are currently some  great deals on Gap items with coupons if you long for the jacket below or any other pretty items on your wishlist.

Right now, these are the items that I would love to own:

                                

Jimmy Choo Sunglasses



The upcoming Mulberry 'Del Rey' handbag. Named after the beautiful singer, Lana Del Rey, the bag will be launched in May. I may have to get saving.

Kandee Shoes - Rolla Cola.


This beautiful NARS  highlighting duo.
Ted Baker Dress

                                                   

Cute leather Jacket from GAP. 


Valentino Perfume - Valentina


As lovely as it would be for Angelina to stop by my wardrobe, I doubt that would happen, but right now I would love my hair the same colour as this photograph. She happens to be one of my favourite actresses and right now, I have total hair envy again. 

What would you love in your wardrobe right now?

♥ 2012 Wishlist ♥



2012 is supposed to be my year of saving, not splurging and to control my spending habits, I have created a beautiful wish list. Hopefully in creating my wish list, it will point me towards the items I would actually like to buy, rather than impulse buying, but I can't make any promises on that front. I also hope to save at least £1000 of my University loan, so that in the future it can be invested into work experience or something career related. This University year so far, I've already managed to save £500, so I'm hoping I'll be a good student in 2012.

Going back to the wish list, the items I have chosen are classic pieces that I'm sure will look brilliant in my wardrobe for the next few years, providing I don't gain or lose too much weight. 


The first item I would very much like is this coat from Urban Outfitters. This is a timeless design that very much reminds me of the 1940s. I'm obsessed with old Hollywood actresses and I could really imagine seeing this coat. The fur cuffs and neck trim make this coat all snuggly and warm and provide a vintage-esque appeal. At £135, this coat isn't exactly cheap, but I'm sure it will remain in my wardrobe for years to come.



In 2011 I lost almost six stone and reinvented myself. The only bad thing about this experience is renewing my wardrobe. It is every girls dream of shopping once you have lost a lot of weight, but it can be quite pricy in the long run. Ever since I started my weight loss, I told myself I would treat myself to some lovely expensive underwear once I had lost the weight and I've always wanted to try the 'Agent Provocateur' brand. I can now say that I have purchased some underwear in the sales and it's making it's way to me as I speak and I'll be doing a review once it arrives.


I have to say that as of late, New Look have really upped their game in the shoe department and not only do they create beautiful shoes, they are really comfy too! I would love to buy these shoes from New Look as they so elegant and have a beautiful Christian Louboutin style. These babies are £59.99, but on the plus side, I can get student discount...



White is such a classic colour and admittedly, I barely own anything that is cream or white, so this dress would be perfect. Every dream dreams of having a Marilyn Monroe moment and this dress could be the one for me. I have many dresses in this style, so I know that it will suit me. This dress is from River Island and it's £35.



I know these days it seems that every girl and her dog has a Louis Vuitton handbag, but the design is classic, the handbags are beautifully made and to be honest, it is something I could see me using on a regular basis. This April will be my 21st birthday, so I'm hoping to treat myself to this beautiful bag with my birthday money and savings. 


I'm currently on a make-up ban after realising my collection is taking over my bedroom. I still have many items left to blog about and i'll probably do a collection post very soon.

What's in your 2012 wish list?
