1. Evissa dress
www.wantherwardrobe.com
This dress is really floating my boat at the moment. I love the way it has cut outs but they’re not actually too revealing. It has quite a sports luxe, Alexander Wang vibe – simple but with enough detail to keep it interesting.
I spotted this featured as part of an article where they had the reporter copy Kim Kardashian’s outfits for a week, to see if they were practical in every day life. And while some (latex bustier anyone?) didn’t work, she really rated this dress for comfort and elegance.
Kim can wear some really bizarre things, but there are also elements of her style I love, like the leather pencil skirts and crop tops. I’d be tempted to style this down with leggings and pointed flats and wear it as more of a tunic.

2. Real Techniques Rose Gold Contour Brush
www.boots.com
Every single blogger in the world wants this, because lets face it, its beautiful. It did feel a little weird to me when a brand that had always provided incredible quality for a reasonable price started introducing a premium line, but honestly?
I really prefer RT brushes to Mac ones, so even if this range is more in that price bracket I think its worth it. I might have to give in on payday. My cheekbones demand this!

3. Richard Ward Keratin Rehab Ultra-Moisturising Treatment
www.waitrose.com
My hair has put up with a lot over the years and the ends are not in great condition due to being ombre-d in the past and then dyed over, and the fact that I use heat stylers every day. So a decent deep conditioning mask is a must for me.
I like the idea of this line because it contains keratin, which is a wonder ingredient for rebuilding damaged tresses. Of course Richard Ward is Kate Middleton’s hairdresser, so he has the most pampered tresses in the land in his hands – he must know what’s good!

4. Nip+ Fab Dragon’s Blood Fix Plumping Serum
www.nipandfab.com
I’m always up for trying some new skincare, and this serum caught my eye last time I was in Boots. I really love Nip + Fab products and I couldn’t do without their exfoliating pads.
All the products are developed by Maria Hatzistefanis, who I admire hugely. She founded luxury brand Rodial, and you’ll often find that Nip +Fab products come out with similar formulations to their more pricey cousins.
This serum contains super-moisturiser hyaluronic acid, velvey flower extract, dragon’s blood, a botanical extract that forms a protective film on skin to protect against environmental damage and a complex to absorb excess oil.

5. Loco Dark Gold Pointed Flats
www.office.com
Really loving flat or chunky heeled shoes at the moment – I am so over discomfort when I’m trying to walk! So I’ve been looking for interesting flats that will do for evening as well as day.
I love the statement colour and mirror finish of these, they’d light up any outfit but would look especially good with dark skinny jeans or a sequinned mini. And best of all? No crippling foot pain!

6. White oversized shirt dress
Acne
Current obsession: large oversized white shirt dresses, and this is the best of the bunch. The price is a little high for me, so I’m definitely on the hunt for a decent high street alternative -hoping Toppers or H&M will deliver something similar soon! T
his would be great for now with leggings and ankle boots or amazing for summer on its own with a chunky belt. Divine.

7. Gold ampersand sign
Near And Dear via Etsy
This is something I really want for my house! I’m enjoying buying little bits and pieces now that we’re decorating, and I love the idea of hanging this over the bed.
Its really quirky and the metallic finish would pop against my soft grey walls.

Winter gloom is still all around us, but somehow my thoughts have turned to brighter days. The sale items are finally being cleared off the shop floors (paradox: I love a bargain, but I HATE a sale. There's just something so off putting about the racks of sad remnants of a past season that seems to suck all the joy out of shopping!).New stuff is finally filtering filtering through and I seem to want it all.Perhaps its the effect of the first payday after the horrible month of January, but I am so in the mood to shop! I keep seeing stuff that catches my eye and puts a spring in my step. So here is my 'lust list' for this month.
Chunky Agate stone ring - Love Hearts & Crosses (http://shop.loveheartsandcrosses.co.uk/)
Lime Yellow Blouse - H&M
Cream Quilted Leather iPhone 4 case -eBay
Chunky Agate stone ring - Love Hearts & Crosses (http://shop.loveheartsandcrosses.co.uk/)
I'm not generally much of a ring wearer (other than my wedding bands!), but I do love these gorgeous rough-cut stone rings. They're all delicious, but the pink is catching my eye...
YES YES!
YES YES!
Lime Yellow Blouse - H&M
Something about this bright yellow/lime colour is really floating my boat at the moment. It's just so punchy and vibrant. It SINGS. I nearly bought a dress this colour last month, but I chickened out at the last moment. But I think this top is a much more wearable way to wear it, and I'm hoping the shape will work for the office or for play.
Barry M Lip Paints - 147 and 129
Okaaaaay...I am really late onto the whole Barry M thing. I know a lot of blogs go wild for their stuff, but it's never appealed to me at all. I think it's the packaging. I'm shallow and easily seduced by a pretty bottle or tube - indeed, I have bought many products that turned out to be crap, just because they looked so shiny and appealing in the packet. And I do really hate the Barry M packaging and name....just looks so cheap and drag-queeny. However, I had to overcome my aversion, because when I went out on Friday, one of my friends had on the most amazing peachy-pink lip colour (147) that I fell instantly in love with. I had to have it. I also purchased the lilac bubblegum-my pink, (129) as its a colour I have been wanting to try for ages, ever since Nicki Minaj/Lady Gaga rocked it. So, I guess you could say I'm feeling a louder lip for spring!
Cream Quilted Leather iPhone 4 case -eBay
I haven't changed my iPhone case in forever. I've always kept it in a white leather slimline flip case, but this was getting annoying as the mechanism of the case prevents me putting it into the speaker or charger docks I have. And I fancied a change, of course. I found this gorgeous cream leather quilted clip-on back browsing on eBay. It's so Chanel, dah-ling! Actually, I saw a magazine feature a couple of years ago on this company that did 'pimp-my-iPhone' style upgrades, with diamonds etc, and they had one with a grained leather back that I loved- but it was so expensive and out of my league. This is my cheap homage to that!
This girl's outfit/style/life - Morven http://morven-catsandrockingchairs.blogspot.com/
This girl's outfit/style/life - Morven http://morven-catsandrockingchairs.blogspot.com/
I have a serious girl crush on this outfit, and this lady. What can I say? It's the kind of thing I would love to be brave enough to wear. I'm not nearly stylish enough and when I try to be more edgy, I always look kind of stupid and mis-matched instead. Plus, I think I am guilty of that ultimate crime, dressing for boys and to look pretty rather than for other girls and to look 'fashion' (ouch...that hurt to admit!). I love fashion but it doesn't love me! Whenever I try something more directional, I look silly and don't have the confidence to carry it off. BUT....this is what I dream of looking like. Morven is drop-dead gorgeous and high-fashion. She's a style goddess. I can only dream of looking as great as she does, but I do like to dream!! This is an outfit she put together for an ASOS styling competition - you can vote for her to win via her blog (linked above). Which I think you should do, because this is a beauty of an outfit.
