Currently Craving Wish List: January 2019

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 My Currently Craving round up posts are something I look forward to doing near the end of every month! There’s always items that I see and want as the weeks go by, so I make sure that I save them for this blog post and can share them with all of you. My tastes and likes have changed yet again and I’m currently really feeling various different items, mostly that I haven’t worn in ages, or that I was never that much of a fan of to begin with, but it’s funny how our opinions change over time isn’t it? I’m not surprised though since our cells turnover every month, we eventually become a brand new person so it makes sense that our likes and dislikes grow with us. So, let me get to the list! At number 1 is a Valentino studded belt. I’m really feeling my belts lately and have a collection of five at the moment (3 designer, 2 high street), but a neutral beige one has always been missing. I love how simple this one is, and how elegant while making a statement. At number 2 is a set of cute, gold paw earrings, and given how much I love animals, they would be ideal! Number 3 has really taken my fancy as I love anything coral related, so this muted orange coat from Topshop would make such a cute Spring addition to my wardrobe! It’s very chic! Now getting to the high waisted legging…

Raindrops of Sapphire Christmas Gift Guide

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 Since I am seeing so much Holiday content everywhere online, I thought I would keep my Christmas Gift Guide this year to a minimum so you don’t get bored or sick of it. Last year I did a combination of my own, Adam’s, and my mum’s present ideas, but this year I am just going to combine a few things, with a complete mixture of prices, for both men and women, in one gift guide so there’s something for everyone. I’m usually all about unisex items, but I have colour coded the men’s pieces in blue, and the women’s in red, so you know what’s what, but obviously if you think any of these suit the other gender, by all means, go for it! I’ve not chosen any clothing this year and have pretty much gone for accessories mostly, as well as decor items and stationary, so you don’t really have any worries about fit here, which I know can always be a scary point, especially when it’s a gift! So, for the men in your life, and since socks are always a common practice at Christmas, I’ve included a gift box from the London Sock Company and I think it’s amazing. If you don’t mind splurging, these snazzy socks could be cool! At number 2 is a device that I find so intriguing, it’s a little stopper you stick to the back of your phone so you can hold it…

Currently Craving Wish List: November 2018

0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 It’s time for me to round up my favourite items from November again in my Currently Craving Wish List! There’s so many things that I am loving right now, and four of them I have already purchased from the collage above. I will be doing a Christmas gift guide for both men and women in early December too, so stay tuned for that one! So, what’s on my list for November? The first knitted jumper is from Zara and I actually own it in both the white and red (you saw the red here), it’s so thick and cosy, and since it’s acrylic, it’s not itchy! I definitely recommend them for a thick winter jumper. Next up is a scarf from Joules that I got and showed you in my November life update. I saw this lace black Topshop body and thought it’s really sexy! I’m in love with this blush metallic pink knit from Allsaints too, it’s so pretty! How cool are those Rag & Bone skinny jeans in metallic red? So festive! Then I saw the Anya Hindmarch eyes bag and thought it was just adorable, then the gemstone rings are super pretty too! I think those would finish off any outfit around this time of year. On the second row, an eye shadow palette is always on my list as I love experimenting with the colours, and the Sam Edelman loafers might just be a great alternative to the Gucci Brixton that…

Currently Craving Wish List: October 2018

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 If there’s one thing you take from this month’s and last month’s Currently Craving Wish List, it’s earrings. I’m really into my jewellery and earrings at the moment and have recently ordered about 4 different single ones from Zoe Chicco as I’m in love with the elegance of her designs. I got the moon and star studs here, and the moon and star huggies in the previous post. This is in preparation for getting my ears pierced for a second lobe stud. I like the idea of wearing a hoop/drop earring and a stud at the same time, so I figured two sets is the way to go. Hopefully I can get it done soon. At number three it’s a gorgeous ombre scarf from Reiss which I think is beautiful as it would go with so many things! Fourth and fifth is a beautiful Bareminerals lip matte in OMG which I really want, and a highlight palette. I definitely recommend the lip mattes though! I have other shades and they last for hours. At number 6 and 7, there’s a gold blazer and a teal leather trench coat, again from Reiss, and they’re so cool! I think they would be ideal for the Autumn right now. Then 8, 9 and 12 are earrings, again they need no explanation as I’m into cute little studs right now! Then number 10 is a ring with rainbow stones, and I think it’s stunning! Again, it’s from…

10 Must Have Allsaints Leather Jackets For Autumn Winter

Allsaints Dalby Leather Jacket in Brick Red As you know, the Autumn is my favourite season – ever! Being able to wear leather jackets, coats, layers, over the knee boots… who wouldn’t love it? It’s no secret that I’m a huge leather jacket lover too, as it’s somewhat my uniform when I wear my jeans with one, and I think I own around 10 leather jackets all in all, 8 of which are from Allsaints, so I thought it would make sense to do a roundup of the 10 hottest new and must have Allsaints leather jackets for Autumn and Winter! Of course I’ve already got my eye on a few of these to add to my collection, I’m just waiting for a sale! First up above is the Dalby in Brick Red and it’s stunning! I have always wanted a burgundy shade leather jacket from Allsaints, but they never had one. This one might just be perfect! I love the Dalby as it’s a great fitting, sleek and classic leather jacket which is incredibly flattering, and in this colour? Who could say no?! It came in stock this week and it’s a must have in my opinion! *To purchase these jackets, click the text under the images. Allsaints Balfern Leather Jacket in Tuscan Red Next up is the Balfern in Tuscan Red, and even though it looks like a dark brown in the photos, it’s actually an oxblood burgundy with red undertones. I’ve seen it in the store a couple of times and tried it on, and it’s perfect. It’s literally the shade of burgundy I have been looking…

Currently Craving Wish List: September 2018

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 September has almost come and gone, which is crazy, and we are fully in Autumn now, which I love. As always, towards the end of the month, I create my Currently Craving Wish List and I include the items I am loving and obsessing over at the moment. When it gets to this type of weather though, narrowing down my selection is almost impossible as there’s so many things I want! I’ve already been on a small shopping spree at Victoria Secret and Topshop, stocking up on some amazing new items (which you saw on my Instagram – it’s in the outfit highlight at the end if you missed it) and most of you loved the new pieces. Number 4 and 10 are two items I got – obsessed! There’s numerous other pieces on my wish list too that I ‘need’, but hopefully in time! I can never include everything in one post, there’s just too much in September, ha ha. First up, two little adorable earrings from Zoe Chicco which I think are just perfect! I’m into gold jewellery at the moment and can’t get enough of things like this. Next up (at 3, 5 and 9) is make-up, I’ve heard amazing things about Laura Mercier and I’ve been sampling a few of them, trying to decide between liquid or pressed powder as I’m usually a powder girl, but the liquid seems to be amazing from the sample I have and I’m in need of…

Currently Craving Wish List: August 2018

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 Can you believe another month has gone by? We’re entering September and that’s one of my favourite months! I’m excited that the weather has started to cool down and I’m looking forward to wearing more of my boots and jeans now that it’s not roasting hot, but before we head off into Autumn, I thought I would share my wish list for August as there’s so many things I want at the moment! Usually I have items in the mail by this point, but after my Bicester Village splurge, I haven’t bought anything and it has to stay that way for a while, ha ha. Since I bought and did my Stuart Weitzman Tieland Boots review, I have been obsessing over their boots! The burgundy pair is a must have for me so I am patiently waiting for a sale! I’ve always loved MCM and when I saw the photo of the cream backpack with the brown bear (bottom of this post), it made me want both the bag and charm as it’s so cute! I’m always in need of new lipsticks and Bare Minerals make amazing ones. I actually do own those FRAME Le Skinny Jeans pictured at number four and they are truly amazing! I cant wait to wear them this weekend, I hugely recommend them! Both of those Swarovski Remix bracelets are a weakness of mine right now too, I saw them in the boutique last weekend and fell in love! Then how amazing are those…

Currently Craving Wish List: June & July 2018

Allsaints Coral Red Balfern Jacket  |  Allsaints Blaze Top Due to having a super busy June, I’m sure some of you noticed that I missed my Currently Craving Wish List for that month. Rather than completely disregarding it, I’m doing July’s a lot earlier in the month and combining it with June so you have an even bigger roundup! I’ve included 14 items here in total and every single one of them I absolutely love! There’s so many options here from the sale as well, so I recommend acting fast if you want any! The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is happening in a few days too, and I’ve included two items from them, so be sure to check back here when the sale happens! It would be a huge benefit to me and my blog if you purchase through my links to help keep it running as most of my links in this post are affiliated. Anyway, lets get to it! I don’t think the two Allsaints items above need explaining as you all now I love Allsaints! The coral leather jacket was one I tried on in the store a few months back and thought was really pretty, now it’s got 40% off! Then the tank top is so floaty and pretty, I’m eyeing it to buy for sure! Especially since it only costs £46 now in the sale! The sales this season have been incredible! Michael Kors Slim Runway Rainbow Crystal Watch When I was in Wales, I spotted this gorgeous Michael Kors watch with rainbow crystals in the boutique and couldn’t take my eyes off of it! It…
