April Lust List - Look Like An Angel, Play Like The Devil...

The transition from Winter to Spring is always awkward: Too warm for coats, too chilly for bare skin. Awkward wardrobe change aside, what I adore about this time of year is the sudden resurrection of colour - blues, pinks, oranges and purples to be topically correct! I can't get enough of the Ombre Trend right now (which is basically a neat version of tie dye, I'm sure!) as well as the super cute sunglasses that you can grab for such a bargain, too! 

I'm going through a phase where I love to team very feminine pieces with accessories or make-up that add a subconscious attitude to the outfit! Looks like an angel, plays like the devil...

Without further ado let me present this month's Lust List - credit cards at the ready!

Out-Style The Snow

Buses are running, trains are going places, schools are open... has the UK finally realised life goes on with or without snow?! Craziness...

In the meantime, we also have to find ways to a) still look semi-decent smothered in 150 layers, b) stay sane when the snow day is done and c) avoid eye contact with the inconspicuous white sky...

Luckily for us all can be achieved...and pretty much all from the comfort of our own homes:

A) Looking semi-decent and keeping warm!
It plunged to -8 degrees pre-snowfall which is alarming when you're sat at work in leggings and a jumper and not much else << Freezing Fashion Fail!
Changing tactics, today I've opted for Black Jeans from Next teamed with a White Shirt and Jumper from H&M. Not only am I much warmer, I'm rocking that layered look that's hot right now with celebs such as Elle MacPherson, Kim K and Demi Moore:



Footwear is of utmost importance is such severe weather, but that doesn't mean we have to be super boring and wear the classic green welly or a pair of panic-bought snow boots from somewhere random like Aldi... It is 2013 and sexy booties are bang on trend! Simmi Shoes have some amazing pairs of wellies and boots of all heights on their site at the moment...there are even some still left in the sale:



Final features to complete your look are welly socks, gloves and, of course, a faux fur hat! Who said keeping warm had to be dull and dreary?!

B&C) The work day is done...
The commute home was a nightmare with delays running as long as an hour so you had to walk most of the way. Your perfectly prepared outfit from this morning is drenched, your hat covered in ice and your new boots have rubbed your feet. Time for some seasonal maths...

What Are Your Desirables?

Walk into Accessorize and how do you feel? Open a Bombay Duck catalogue, are you just as excited? Does the organised chaos in Paperchase make total sense to you?

 

Then you've found the blog for you. After spending almost 35 minutes in H&M deciding between the beige beanie hat or the red rib-knit hat with the ickle bow detail (and then checking out with both) I realised my need for accessories has gotten a little out of hand.

 

Ornamental bird cages, Thomas Sabo and Christmas Ribbon are among my Most Desired Items today and I'll tell you why...

 

The vintage, Victorian bird cage image has forever been used to 'pretty up' an item, from bedsheets to hanging ornaments, it has always been a popular pattern between the frenzied accessory-holder. With the likes of  Lydia Bright and Dawn Porter consistently looking flawless in quirky, unique styles the vintage style flag is flying high again: 



Today's Vintage Bird Cage 'Pick of the Day' is
this stunning Lulu Guinness Birdcage Umbrella from Brollies Galore:

 

 

My next most desired items come from the Seasonal Thomas Sabo Collection.

 Diamond encrusted polar bears, prefectly detailed snowflakes and a super stylish snow-doll are just some of the lust-worthy collection at Thomas Sabo at the moment. Which is your favourite?



 

My Thomas Sabo fave, and therefore my pick of the day, is a proud looking, sparkling penguin perfect for every lady's christmas list. Absolutely adorbs:

 

Whilst we are on the subject of Christmas (22 sleeps!), have you seen what's on offer in Paperchase's christmas section this year?

 

Let your gifts stand out from beneath the tree by using some of their delightful 'Scandi' patterned boxes and gift wraps, or use their plain brown gift wrap and complete the look using their wonderful selection of ribbons, stickers and patterned tape!







 

 Today's Paperchase Christmas Pick of the Day:

 

 

Their wonderful gift wrap perfect for every present this christmas.

 

Have a stylish one this year!
