September Wishlist


This month's wishlist features a combination of high end and high street pieces- working in a designer consignment shop has really opened my eyes to a lot of expensive pieces! As Winter approaches, I'm lusting after lots of leather and chunky knits. I lost my trusty leather jacket last week, so I'm on the hunt for a new one- this Acne studios one is the dream. As I'm starting college at the end of the month, a MacBook Air would be extremely useful (and for blogging too) so that's the first thing I'll be saving up for this season!

It's official- Autumn dressing has officially begun. The denim skirt has been doing the rounds for a while now, particularly the A-Line mini one. Whilst in Lisbon, I picked up this gorgeous midi length one from Stradivarius. I always head there when I'm on holidays, because the prices are amazing! As an avid skirt wearer, it may come as a surprise to some that I actually don't own that any midi skirts. Honestly, I'm not sure why- they make me feel great. Don't you just love clothes that do that? Clothes that make you feel special, that make you think hey, that was definitely worth the money!

Seeing as it's been over a week since I lasted posted, I figured a small explanation for my absence was due! My only reasoning is that: life happened. These past few weeks have been insanely busy for me- I got my exam results, got offered a place at university, and most recently had my debs last night (or prom for you non-Irish folk!). Not only that but my laptop has been extremely slow lately, I'm still interning three days a week and I've also had a few press events and nights out with friends. I've been fairly quiet on social media as a whole, really, but sometimes that's ok. As someone who is utterly obsessed with the likes of Twitter and Instagram, it's nice to take a step back every now and then!

Thankfully I'll have a lot to blog about next month, as September is when the new season collections come in, which I'm so excited for- I love Autumn so much, eek! I'm also looking forward to starting college, and seeing Florence + The Machine in early September. Basically, I have a lot to keep me busy!

I'm not entirely sure why, but lately I've been loving that minimal, thrown-together look. Basic pieces, lots of grey and black and layering- I love it all! This Autumn I'll be trying to incorporate a bit of minimalism into my look by purchasing pieces that can be reworn in Winter too. Shop my favourites below...


In other news, my laptop is being extremely uncooperative lately hence the lack of posting.. Not only that, but you may have seen on Instagram that I received my exam results last week, and to say I'm delighted would be an understatement. I exceeded my own expectations and got 75 points more than what I need for my course!

Today's outfit post is a short one, simply because my camera died after 10 minutes- what's new? August is shaping up to be a very busy and hectic month for me- from exam results on Wednesday, university offers five days after and debs (prom) in two weeks. Not to mention the press events, family time and interning on top of that! So today I'm spending my lazy Sunday blogging and watching movies- might as well relish in my free time while  have it. 

I'm feeling quite anxious about my results, purely because the Summer seems to have made me lose focus. I can't recall how good my performance in the exams were, and I have no clue whether or not to start college this year, or defer for the year. Hopefully everything falls into place over the next few days!
