What is it about bank holiday weekends that seriously mess up your body clock? That extra day at the weekend means I've spent a lot of the day wondering whether it's Tuesday or Thursday when in fact it's Wednesday! I like to keep Cagney and Lace a positive space so I'll not dwell on this next sentence for too long - today should be Beyonce day for some of my favourite girls and I but sadly I've had to bow out as I'm at home recovering from a little stint in hospital. Don't worry team, I'm going to be as good as new before you know it and fingers crossed I should be mobile enough to attend a Space NK Beauty Event next week. Sadly outfit posts may not be as frequent for a while unless I figure out how to disguise khaki green surgical stockings....all suggestions welcome.
When any self respecting blogging babe is ordered to rest the consequences on ones bank balance can be dire (hello on-line shopping) but rest assured I haven't done any damage, yet. As I'm getting excited for my holiday in June here are just a few items that have caught my eye, someone better hide my Paypal password.
1. Sundress With Cut Out Back £22 - I know I'm not the only one who has visited Rosie's blog and swooned over how well that girl can pull off a simple sun dress so with this in mind I'm planning on rocking this to dinner on my fast approaching Greek adventure. I've never really been one for something so understated but the peek-a-boo back provides just enough something something to keep my usual outlandish taste appeased. Disclaimer - super cool London lifestyle does not come with purchase of this dress.
2. Longline Olive Bikini £25 - How chic and sophisticated is this high waisted olive bikini from Topshop? I can already envisage myself sat by the pool, caipirinha in hand wearing huge cats eye style sunglasses and an elegant straw sun hat with this little olive number. Unsurprisingly I'm usually the gal with the craziest printed bikinis so this high waisted solid colour pick is a refreshing change.
3. Dior Skin Nude BB Cream £30 - Lisa Eldridge is the queen of make-up maestros, the ultimate enabler if you will so when this BB cream popped up in her latest video it immediately went into the notes section on my iPhone along with all the other beauty booty I'm coveting. I've only ever dabbled with Dr Jart when it comes to BB creams so I'd love to try a high-end option, all in the name of research of course.
4. Ombre Roll Down Shift £46 - I'm quite tempted to lock down this beauty and frame it in my bedroom as modern fashion art. I adore the simple shape of this ombre sunset print dress and it's roll neck gives more than just a nod to the sixties. The romantic in me can imagine wearing this bare foot on the beach with a sixties style blow dry, in reality my hair will probably resemble a lions mane but hey a girls gotta dream.
5. Bumble & Bumble Surf Shampoo & Conditioner £18.50 and £20 - Speaking of hair I'd be amazed if you haven't seen these two newbies pop up whilst surfing (get it?) the bloggersphere. I've loved the Bumble & Bumble surf spray for as long as I can remember - I actually think it was the first thing I ever purchased from Space NK so you know I need these in my shower. Anything that creates messy, textured bed head hair is alright by me.
6. YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick in Fuschia £24 - So you know that ultimate enabler Lisa Eldridge I mentioned earlier? Well she only went and used this YSL lipstick in the Dior BB Cream video. I've got my fingers crossed that such a bright hue will suit my English rose complexion but if not I may just have to purchase one of the other delectable shades, after all I feel by twenty five you should own a YSL lipstick and shockingly I don't. This must be rectified, pronto.
7. Fluffy Texture Ombre Cardigan £45 - Yes the sun has been shining in good ol' Blighty but you know it won't last forever. To ward off those May winds I'm suggesting rocking this grown up pastel cardigan with everything from high waisted J Brands to micro shorts and a plain tee - guys, it's time to embrace the fluff.
Which of my Wednesday Wishlist picks are you lusting after? Do you find yourself enabled to splurge by fellow bloggers?

I am so getting the surf shampoo and conditioner as soon as I have money! I would also like to try the bb cream x

Ditto Zandra! Sadly my current base product has just run out so I reckon I can justify purchasing the Dior now, swings and roundabouts eh?
DeleteI love that bikini. I'm a sucker for classic styling and, while this isn't a colour I'd normally go for, I really really like it. Also love the landscape style roll down ombre shift.
ReplyDeleteBloggers are such enablers haha xx
They're the worst aren't they?
DeleteThank you lovely, I'm so tempted to order the bikini even though I really don't need another and as for the shift dress....it may already be on it's way.
That purple lipstick is amazing! I don't know why, but lately I've been going crazy for this type of colours on my lips!
ReplyDeleteI followed you, I love this blog! xx

ReplyDeleteDon't tell me that Kim...I'm definitely going to have to make a purchase now.
DeleteGo for the Olive Bikini from Topshop, I agree it's a winner :) paired with a nice sun hat and red lipstick? Hahahaha! I also love the white dress with the cutout back. The prices seem so friendly as well.

Thanks Christina, I'm glad you get the Summery vibe from my wishlist. It certainly doesn't feel like Summer at the moment though, it's far too cold!
