Watch-lemma

Recently I've had my mind set on the perfect gold watch, but have never come across anything that's really taken my fancy! I can be quite a lazy Internet shopper at times, always re-visiting those fail safe websites and brands, and when it comes to (affordable) watches, Michael Kors is a one-stop-shop. However, I already own a silver MK number so I thought I'd mix it up a little and explore some other well known but maybe slightly less obvious brands.

I think it's fair to say that Nixon have come up with the goods. I've whittled my options down to these three lovelies so now all I have to do is decide which one to buy! Decisions, decisions...

Rainy day lustings

Getting mega fed up of the rainy May weather, however it does give me an excuse to stay in doors and lust over lovely things! At the moment I'm pining over Acne 'Skin' jeans, Acne vest, T by Alexander Wang classic pocket t-shirt, Rag & Bone neon striped jean (white could end in tears though), Isabel Marant wedge sneakers (this colour would be perfect for summer if it ever arrives), Luv AJ cross earrings and the Elizabeth & James matte onyx ring.

My boyfriend also treated me to these Zara sandals as a finishing uni gift, but thanks to the rain I've not had a chance to wear them! Hopefully it's a dry weekend and I can take them out for a few cocktails.

Lust list

Supposed to be saving money and writing a lit review that's due in tomorrow but instead I'm making lust lists on Polyvore. Isabel Marant knit, Madewell white shirt, Wang back-pack, Nike Chukka Go's, Balmain biker jeans, denim shorts, neon bag, buckle bracelet shoes and cuff by Werelse for Mango. 

Summer Essentials

(Jackets: Acne/Topshop, Jumpers: Isabel Marant/Alexander Wang, Vests: Madewell/Victoria's Secret, Shorts: Erin meets Zadig/Sass & Bide, Jewellery: Low Luv necklace/ Elizabeth & James rings, Bag: Balenciaga)

So here's the kind of 'looks' I want to be sporting this Summer. The Acne denim jacket is pretty much my ideal summer cover up! It's a shame I'm on a saving spree and can't justify spending £340 on a denim jacket that is definitely DIY-able. As for the little brown leather number from Topshop, I NEED! Been after one of these for a while now and this one is slightly longer on the body as well, which is exactly what I've been after. The Isabel Marant and Alexander Wang jumpers are just perfection, but I'll probably be buying a slightly more affordable alternative! Moving on to vests, racer back and slightly sheer all the way, and I can't wait to get my paws on some Isabel Marant inspired football jersey motifs. The bronzed Low Luv necklace would be perfect for layering over longer chains and the Elizabeth & James rings, well, you can never have enough rings in my opinion. Finally, those bleached hot pants AGAIN and the Sass & Bide mega, embroidered, silk DREAM shorts would make my summer complete!

Oh and how can I forget the Balenciaga Giant City bag with rose gold hardware. I will own this bad boy one day, and hopefully that day will be in 2012!... I'm not very good at waiting you see.

This ones for you Mr Claus

Alexander Wang 'Brenda' camera bag in leopard print, 3.1 Phillip Lim Bralet (absolute must for my tiny boobs), House of Harlow necklace, Zara snake print purse, Gucci Guilty fragrance, Wang & Erin meets Zadig tanks and of course the Pamela Love arrowhead ring (you WILL be mine).

P.s. Sorry for my disgraceful lack of posts recently, I've been snowed under with uni work for the last few weeks and plan on being so for the foreseeable future. On a lighter note I'm taking this weekend off to celebrate my friends birthday, oh and I bought the most amazing shoes that I have to share with you all! I promise to try and find the time...there really aren't enough hours in the day.
