SPRING / SUMMER WISHLIST 2016 | WHOISJOSIEWHO

So, Summer is around the corner and I've crawled out from underneath my rock to get a sun tan. Most of my wardrobe is quite suited to summer and I can always find nice little bits in Charity Shops but there's a few things I'd really like right now!

Leather Strap Shoes

£25.99

Pull & Bear

I just totally love these! They look so easy to slip on and off, which is something I love in a shoe. They also remind me of some sandals I had in my teenage years that I wore to death! They'll go with everything. LOVE.

Retro T-Shirt

£10.00

Pull & Bear

Need I explain this? It's awesome. The printed T-Shirt trend is awesome & Pull & Bear are killing it with their affordable designs!

Post Mid-Volume Backpack

£60.00

Herschel Supply & Co

Summer makes us all extra lazy & at the moment I'm lugging all of my overnight things to my boyfriends in a Fred Perry Holdall which is absolutely killing my shoulder. I need a new backpack because hands free to eat crisps whilst walking plus even weight distribution. win-win I'd say. 

Classic Black Backpack

£65.00

Fjallraven Kanken 

Okay yes. I'm blogging about this flipping backpack again. They're everywhere I go and I want one! Also to solve my shoulder bag dilemma. Back Packs are COOL. Say no more.

Black High Tops

£47.99

Converse

So my Boyfriend had a wee moan at me for constantly wearing my £1 Boots all of the time but they're just so damn comfy! I've taken a boot hiatus and started wearing my converse again. I really want a black pair because I already have white & Black goes with everything too. 

Oliviah Leopard Print Chiffon Maxi

£15.00

Pretty Little Thing

This skirt is my spirit. It's fabulous. Imagine it with a strappy crop-top and the Black converse. Sunglasses. Sunshine. Want. Need. Pls Gooby. 

That's all for my wishlist! I'll try really hard to get back into blogging more! I really will!

A/W Wishlist. | November 15 |

I could honestly say that 2015 has been my favourite year yet for trends. The summer 1970's trend absolutely killed it. So much suede and floaty chiffon, All of the things I have loved since falling for vintage Fashion at the age of 14. 

Spring transitioned to summer, bringing Flares and Micro mini skirts.. then Autumn crept in and brought Ankle boots, Knee boots & 1960's gogo fashion. Team a mini dress with ankle boots and a winter coat? TRANSITIONAL PERFECTION. YES YES YES. 

Here's a few favourites that I WISH I could afford right now...but since my last blogpost, you can imagine I can barely afford a Freddo.

A GIRL CAN DREAM :

PETITE Poppy Print Dress

£48.00

Topshop

I love a little bit of floral for the winter. This dress is slightly peasant style with the long sleeves and frills but the colours are autumnal and very pretty. Tights + Wooly Scarf + Boots = Perfection.

PETITE Textured Bell Sleeve Dress

£42.00

Topshop

This is just a simple Little Blue dress. I love love love it. Need I say more?

Juni Coat

£65

Monki

I've been looking for another long-line winter jacket. Something keeps pulling me into the idea of a trench coat. This cream/off white number is so gloriously chic.

Sleeveless Utility Denim Dress

£20.00

Miss Selfridge

Can we just? I am so in love with all the Denim dresses I've been seeing this year!

Marc B Bella Across Body Bag

£35.00

ASOS

The perfect little bag for every outing! Granted if I had a really good rummage I could probably find a retro lookalike in a charity shop, but for now we have this as GOALS.

Lace Up High Heel Shoes

£29.99

ZARA

Out of all of the suede shoes I've seen this year these have by far won my heart. I would beg, borrow and steal to have them on my feet immediately. I may have to to seek some babysitting work....

So that's just a few things, I could sit here for hours showing you what I love! Hope all is well for you all.

TOPSHOP DENIM STAPLES | SEPTEMBER 15

I can't be the only one who is totally taken by all of the awesome denim Topshop have in there stores at the moment.

I could cry because I can't buy them all... but I can pick my favourites and show you them!

MOTO Denim Western Dress

£42

This, by far is my absolute fave. Every time I go to Topshop I just stand a whimper over it because £42? *cri evri tym* BUT SO PERFECT. MUCH DENIM. WOW.

MOTO Bright Blue Button Front A-Line Skirt

£28

Ahhh, the button down. Seen on.. Everyone this summer? But seriously, It doesn't get better than this! Those Penny Lane vibes!

Petite Slim Dungarees

£48

Gosh I want some black dungarees so bad. They're so sweet and practical, perfect for University or college! Maybe one day I'll cave and get a pair.

MOTO Fitted Western Shirt

£29

Denim shirts are legit awesome, I often question why I don't actually have one myself? Am I mad? But they're great for when you don't feel like wearing a denim jacket but you still want a little suttin' suttin' to keep you warm.

There's my picks! Hey, maybe I'm getting the hang of this blog post lark again?

OOTD | Pastel Basics |

Hey guys! Today's OOTD is really simple! I went Fabric Shopping in London and just wanted to be on trend but comfortable! I was ill yesterday so I've been feeling super gross!

I'm wearing my New H&M Jersey Dress, Found in a Charity Shop for £1 Brand New with Tags! It's a really nice peach colour, although it doesn't show well!

I wore my Topshop crop top under it (£9) which I got last year, I wish I had waited though because Primark brought in the same top for much cheaper recently!

Then on the bottom I've just got Tights (Primark) and My White Dolly shoes from ASOS! (£10 Depop)

Because of where I was going I used my Topshhop Backpack today, Found in Oxfam on Holloway for £6! LOVE.

I didn't catch a picture but with this I just wore a Cardigan and my Black leather Jacket with a Wooly scarf, It's a bit nippy out!

That's all for today, Hows your monday?

Kylijane Review | The Posh One ❤ White Fluffy Bag |

Hello! Today i'm going to review a lovely bag sent to me by Kylijane on Instagram! I was really excited to see she was collaborating with bloggers because the bags are just fabulous!

I chose to review 'The Posh One' which is a plain white faux fur shoulder bag, that goes with literally anything and everything!

If you're not keen on white or Black, theres loads of other colours to choose from and even a rainbow one!

It's currently in the sale for £9.00 which is pretty decent if I say so myself, Most of the similar bags on the highstreet are on sale for upwards of £20 so to get a handmade & significantly cheaper alternative is always nicer!

I know it blends into my wall, WHAT CAN YA DO

My first impressions were *squeak* ITS SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE. 

I mean look at that. So fluffeeehhh. It's really nice soft quality faux fur and although it does malt a little bit it doesn't seam cheap at all.

Opening the bag you get a glimpse of a lining which is excellent! Always good to know you've got a sturdy structure. It's well sewn and I even had a go at trying to forcefully rip it (Sorry Kyli) but it didn't budge! No chance of it ripping, Excellent!

It's metal popper is well attached and keeps the bag shut nicely, Although it would of been nice to of had maybe a Zip or a panel covering the opening, I fear for rummaging hands in my bag! Or perhaps a pocket with a zipper inside to hide your purse etc? Just a thought.

I wouldnt say take this bag clubbing you wont see your purse again whether it's pinched or you do an excellent dance move and fling your bag and it's contents about..

The chain is really well attached I had another go at putting heavy things in it and shaking it about to see if it came loose but it was staying put which is awesome as I usually carry like 2 bottles of water with me!

I love the silver hardware It's really nice next to the white I think if it was gold it wouldn't look as nice, maybe even tacky.

As I said before you can literally wear it with anything! FLUFFY GOODNESS!

I'm really happy with this bag and haven't taken my things out of it since it arrived the other day! 10/10 LOVE IT!

OOTD :✿ The Handmade Shift Dress ✿

Hello loves! Today I thought I'd show you an OOTD including a Dress I made myself! If you may not know, I've been applying to University this year and recently had my portfolio review.

 I made this dress as part of a textiles unit & printed the fabric myself by hand inspired by the 1960's clean cut Mod fashion.

I paired my dress with Tights & My favourite White dolly shoes from ASOS.

I put on my trusty H&M Blazer & picked up My white Leather clutch bag from Forever 21.

Of course in this weather I also put on my Faux Fur collar over the top of my jacket! A must for me in the winter because you can wear it with any coat and its so warm! I got this one from eBay for £6 and it's still going strong!

That's all for today! If you want a tutorial for how to make a simple dress let me know in my blog comments, I'm looking into starting some sewing tutorials on my YouTube channel because I've developed some little tricks to make sweet little outfits!

Have you made anything recently? I'd love to know!
