October Wish List

I am constantly scanning the web for new products and clothing, I always end up creating a huge shopping basket of my dream closet and then end up not buying half the items. So, I thought that I would create a list of the things that I have been lusting over this month, in case it inspires any of you.

1. The leather skirt

I had been looking for a good leather skirt for some time, I think they are perfect for autumn/winter, however I hadn't found one that fitted my budget, without looking cheap. So when I found this little beauty from River Island I was ecstatic!

River Island - £25

This skirt is the perfect A line shape, and if black isn't your thing it comes in a variety of different colours (blue, pink, grey, white and yellow)! 

2. The Shoe

I saw these white leather Converse- there is definitely a leather theme this month!- in store and fell in love... 

Office - £54.99

I am a Converse gal and have been wanting to get a new pair for a while now and these are perfect! Almost all my shoes are canvas- not perfect for the British weather- which is why I was so excited to see the leather version of these Converse classics.

3. The Coat

I do now own this coat, that is how much I love it! I am very particular about my coats, I have a weird issue with wearing my coat done up- don't ask- and often find myself just not bothering wearing a coat at all. However, I think this coat is perfect both undone and buttoned up. The shape is flattering and very on trend, whilst the fur hood adds something different. Also, the hood is detachable which comes in useful as the fur can sometimes get a bit bulky. 

Topshop - £65

4. The Watch

I am not a huge watch person, I have one from Urban Outfitters and that's it. However, I  think this Olivia Burton watch is stunning. The baby blue, the rose gold... I couldn't ask for more! But, at £72 I think it is one for the Christmas list!

ASOS - £72

5. The Dress

I think this dress from Missguided is perfect! It shows just enough skin, whilst being warm enough for this season. I really like the scuba material of this dress... it just gives a really nice fit. I am definitely going to be getting this one in time for the Christmas season!

Missguided - £22.99

I love everything on this list but the one thing I am looking for is a good pair of jeans, high waisted but very skinny. If you do have any recommendations, please let me know. I hope you like this type of post and if you have anything in particular you want me to post about do leave a comment below x
