sets
maybe the best has yet to come

I've noticed it's been a really long time since I've done a wishlist. I usually do these through Polyvore because it's like a portal to every item I've ever wanted - I absolutely love it. I think this set has a little bit of an 'artsy' vibe, it's definitely something I can see an Art or creative student wearing because it's so cool and casual. The Monki Asta singlet is something that's been in my 'liked' list on Polyvore for a while. The back of the top is what makes it unique and stand out because I think it's quite daring, but perfect for the last few weeks of summer left. Similarly, the boyfriend jeans from H&M are ideal for August. The weather during this time can really go either way, and a little breeze makes all the difference so I've added these jeans to this wishlist because they're really cool to wear in the sun, and warm enough when the clouds take over. I've wanted some All Star Low Converse for a while now so they had to be included in today's post. Although I haven't yet decided on the colour, I like the maroon pair. No shoe is more iconic than the Chuck Taylor All star and they're always a summer essential. I've noticed a lot of bloggers and YouTubers using the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera as well as seeing them all over Instagram. I live in quite a scenic area of Yorkshire, and this camera would be absolutely perfect for capturing some amazing landscapes throughout the year. I do actually have a Polaroid camera I found in the 'junk box' which is really useful but incredibly heavy! The Eastsport mesh backpack is an item I saw in another set on Polyvore and was immediately drawn to. The mesh fabric used for the body of the bag is nothing I've ever seen before and it's such a great price! It's very simple like the ASOS rings but the few features differ it from the rest to make a street style look.

CK CITY QUEEN

Today is very exciting. Not only is it a wishlist day which means I can bask in the glory of 'online window shopping' and spend hours flicking through and creating sets on Polyvore, it's also the day I pick up my new tripod which was delivered to the Post Office yesterday, which means I'll have an all new and exotic setting for my photos. It gets unbelievably warm in my bedroom sometimes so it's nice to have a new background.
The paring on my wishlist is the Alexander Wang Cropped Top and the Theyskens' Theory Quilted Skirt. I really like these two simple colours, light colours pair with every colour in a wardrobe and I really like the tone of the pastel blue in the skirt. The a-line skirt also has a saddle hemline which I think is quite unique to many other mini skirts, and the Alexander Wang top has tiny hints of blue in to tie the whole outfit together. I chose the 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Clutch to be included in this wishlist set because of the stunning colour but simple design. This outfit has a very 'chic' look to it so I thought a fold clutch would be perfect, and the colours link well together. I spotted these Jeffrey Campbell Shoop Platforms on the Nasty Gal mobile app and decided they had to be included in my next wishlist. I really like the grey-on-white style and they're a soft leather texture which is always a bonus. Nasty Gal has been one of my store favourite for a while now, ever since I came across the store account on Instagram I have been obsessed with their quirky but stylish pieces.
I have included the CK One Volumizing Mascara because I'm interested in buying a new mascara as I have been using Rimmel's range for a while. The mascara claims it "amplifies, shapes, and lifts every lash for maximum volume" so it's going straight to the top of my list, and going to be my next beauty-buy.
