Happy New Year and welcome to the first Want It Wednesday of 2017; now I don’t know about you but I’m so over the sales – yes I love a bargain but there’s something about the start of January that sees me attempting to streamline my life (and wardrobe) and that means not being seduced by frivolous buys and instead concentrating on pieces that
SO here’s my *think I’m going to get a lot of wear/use out of this lot list* or at least will look pretty in my room… ok I admit I’m a lost cause!
January wouldn’t be January without some new gym gear and these black with mesh gym leggings from Next are just the ticket for the school run to spin agony look I’m hoping to rock a lot this spring. I also spotted this amazing scuba dress whilst I was in Next and I instantly fell in love with it’s cut and structure – yes it may be a bit too cold to wear now but there’s nothing like having a dress that forces you to seek out a spot of winter sun!
Whilst we may be lacking in the heat department for eleven months of the year, that doesn’t mean we don’t need sunglasses, and these brand new Burberry shades are great with the oversized lenses and simple design; and will go perfectly with the this Vacation sweater from Whistles. Can you tell I have winter holidays on my mind?!?
It’s no secret that I’m a big Moschino fan and their recent fun collections are guaranteed to have you smiling about fashion and their Moschino Fresh Couture Eau De Toilette is no exception, although I fear Boo would spritz this within a an hour!
Now I know these aren’t the most timeless of pieces but I’m a big fan of the barely there heels and the Alora nude barely there perspex heel would go with almost any outfit – can you see how easy it was to convince myself!
As I sit and write this post I have three candles on the go in my bedroom and I must admit to a slight obsession with them in recent months and I’m on the hunt for the perfect relaxing scent – the NEOM Complete Bliss scented candle looks to be ticking all the boxes and I doubt it will be long until one ends up in my room.
And seeing as 2017 is set to be a kickass year, this will be year that I finally get round to buying my first Ruby Woo by Mac!
Happy Wanting!
Want It Wednesdays | 21st September
Last week reminded us what a difference a day can make with British weather, on Thursday I was wearing a mini shirt dress with zara sandals and just over 12 hours later I was getting battered by the rain (hello drowned rat look) on my commute into the city.
With today heralding the official start of autumn, I’m all about the boots and these New Look khaki ankle boots with cleated soles are perfect for chucking on perfecting that on the run look, and with the appearance of ankle boots comes the need for full length jeans. As we hurtle towards October, I find myself without a pair of jeans that don’t have ripped or raw hems. Black jeans are the name of the game in the colder months and these simple black jean jeggings from River Island will be long enough to avoid the sock shaming of peeping ankles!
I’m still yet to find a new scarf that’s warm and cosy without itching the actual life out of me; I’m starting to think I may need to bite the bullet and buy a cashmere scarf, and with this one from Uniqlo coming in at a surprising £39.90 it would appear that high street cashmere is becoming more and more affordable. P.s. I’m loving the dark grey, just as versatile as black just a bit more fun.
Talk within the Corriette Clan has turned to my Mum’s 60th Birthday next year – she’s having a fabulous party and we’re already eying up outfits. We saw this Reiss Nessa dress at the weekend and both my Mum and sister said it was such a Rosie dress… The structured and puffed sleeves and ther barely there hue of grey make it the perfect modern classic party piece, it’s definitely made the shortlist.
After a visit to Ikea yesterday with my friend Emma, I admitted that I have far too much make-up after I seriously debated buying a MALM toyboy to house it all. However that hasn’t stopped me lusting after this MAC Trip The Light Illuminating Powder from The Star Trek range; come on just look at it, I know I can’t stop – I love the lustre of different pigments, it’s so dreamy.
Talking of lusting, the minute I saw these Ella pointed pumps from Pretty Ballerinas on Instagram at the weekend I fell in love, i’m not sure if it’s the colour, the suede of the gold love enveloped in a swirl of a heart but these are fast becoming a Rosie need.
And finally, let’s talk about the Louis Vuitton Pallas compact wallet. Ever since I was pick pocketed nearly two years ago, I haven’t had a full size purse, instead using coin purses as I still can’t find ‘the one’. I think it’s fair to say the hunt is over, now to justify a month’s housekeeping on a purse that would leave me with no money to put in it. Ah the quandaries of balancing Louis Vuitton and mothering duties… the struggle is real.
So there you have my wants for the week, Let me know what you’re loving, hating and wanting yourself.
Happy Wanting!
