Super Lazy Day | Wishlist
3 August 2016
Ilkley, West Yorkshire
The T by Alexander Wang tank top looks like it's the perfect tee for lounging around in. I don't tend to explore colour when it comes to a lazy day because I don't really have anyone to impress, nor do I need to stand out - so the simpler the better. This sleeveless piece is a linen blend, which means it's guaranteed coziness. Similarly, the Old Navy shorts look crazy comfortable! I've had them in my 'liked' list on Polyvore for as long as I can remember, and have always decided I will one day feature them in a wishlist. Although I have heard a few bloggers and vloggers discuss Old Navy and buy from there, I've never bought anything from the site myself. After having a brief browse, I think the store has the potential to be a new favourite! The clothes look to be a of really high quality, and are available for amazing prices. As much as I adore tracksuit bottoms and leggings, shorts are an ideal alternative because it means I can totally and completely surround myself with blankets upon blankets.
Anyone that follows my blog, knows that I am totally and completely obsessed with stationary. It's actually kind of scary. I once considered even signing up to a stationary subscription box, but sadly £40 a month was just a little too high for me. The Campus Gifts notebook is one item I would love to own. I think the font is really cool, and stands out well against the darker text. The phrase is unique and something I've never seen printed before; the large book would be amazing for jotting down blog post ideas or even write out posts on a snug day at home. I'm a huge fan of UGG boots, despite knowing a lot of people don't like them. Personally, I don't mind the style and love how warm they keep my feet. When I spotted the UGG Australia Knit Slippers, I knew they had to be featured on a cushy-themed wishlist. From wearing UGG boots for years on end, it must be made certain that these slippers must be crazy cosy. The colour suits this overall wishlist brilliantly, and although the price is high, I'm sure I could make an exception.

Dark Summer | Wishlist
10 June 2016
Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire
It’s wishlist time again! Shopping is one of my favourite
*cough cough* ‘exercises’ and I absolutely love to create wishlists on Polyvore full of luxury and high
street items. It’s one of my favourite networks for discovering new items and people
to follow. Creating sets is extremely relaxing, especially when you create
something that’s aesthetically pleasing to the eye. One thing I’ve noticed with
my style is that I tend to go for darker colours and I’ve decided to sometimes
embrace it! Of course, there are occasions where I need to brighten up my
ensembles every so often, but I think all-black is so badass, I just love it.
Wearing all-black in the sun is a pretty brave thing to do, but I don’t think
there’s anything wrong with a little… ‘dark
summer’.
The first thing on my list is the Black Spaghetti Top by Romwe.
I have been on the lookout for cute summer tops to wear, because sometimes I’m
so warm I barely want to wear anything at all (obviously I would never scar the
world by doing that)! The straps on this top turn it from a basic tank top to a
unique bralette that will subtly pair well with (literally) anything, and still
stand out. It’s a cotton top, and fits perfectly into my theme. To pair with
the top, I chose the Black Button Front Skirt from Topshop.
I don’t wear a lot of skirts, simply because I don’t have much to pair them
with. It can be really hard to find a skirt style that suits your body shape
and this is still something I struggle with. Luckily, it means more shopping to
‘experiment’ with my style and what suits me. I usually play it safe with an
A-line skirt, and I think this denim utilitarian piece fits well. No wishlist
is complete without one high fashion item! The Sac De Jour Nano Leather Tote by
Saint
Laurent has always caught my eye, it’s so chic it hurts. I think this
handbag would be the perfect investment, and joins the many others I have waiting
on my list. I love the simple style, and think it projects pure elegance and femininity
without being OTT.
Another luxury bag I liked is the "Totes Amaze"
Tote by 3.1
Phillip Lim. Devastatingly, it’s out of stock everywhere but I couldn’t
pass up the opportunity to include it in my Dark Summer Wishlist. The Harlock
Platform Sandals by Jeffrey
Campbell are one of the few white items in this list, but luckily they do
come in black. For this look, even though it is based on embracing all-black, I
really liked the monochrome contrast with white sandals. I think they will
stand out even more, and help the outfit to look different too. Along with the
White Hardware Belt from Yoins,
adding a little splash of white is creating monochrome with minimal effort (see
what I did there?)
Finally, the Tether Skeleton Bracelet from Marc
by Marc Jacobs is one of my favourite items in the entire wishlist. It may
be tiny, and difficult to see from a distance, but I absolutely adore the
style. It’s so simply unique, the design behind it is genius. I find that
watches like this are pieces that get the most attention without any effort. I
love these little gems, as they pull a whole outfit together despite their
size. This luxury piece is completely black and may stay near the top of my
wishlist for a very long time.

She Could Fly | Wishlist
22 May 2016
Skipton, North Yorkshire
Today is being spent in the lovely town of
Skipton, one of my favourite places in the whole of Yorkshire. I have so many
memories here, from visiting Bolton Abbey to lunch at the castle. Last summer,
I loved visiting Skipton for an all-out girls' shopping day, so today's
wishlist is inspired by those kind of summer outings.
I think playsuits are crucial for summer. They’re
not an item I’m really invested in, but yet again, multiple Instagram accounts
and fashion magazines have swayed me. I really like how simple they are and easy
to wear. Despite the unable-to-go-to-the-toilet-without-getting-complete-naked
aspect, they’re super cute and fun to play around with. I chose the simple
black Monki
playsuit (similar),
and there’s no doubt the high street will soon be filled with them.
The Maurices denim jacket really
caught my eye (sadly, it’s out of stock but I found a similar one here).
The medium wash is really versatile for summer style and has a cute cropped
style that compliments the waistline. I think a cropped jacket is a summer
essential, and denim will never go out of style. The jacket can be used as a
layer, making it the ultimate wardrobe staple. Similarly, a simple tote is necessary.
I absolutely love the Cuyana
tote because it’s just a classic. It comes in a large array of colours, but
I chose caramel to brighten up the look and contrast against the dark playsuit.
The great thing about high quality bags are that they are lightweight and made
to last!
If you haven’t noticed, I’m totally obsessed with
phone cases. I recently had a post featuring my latest custom case
(plus the discount code “ANIKA20CA” to receive 20%
off from CaseApp). Today, I’m adding the white marble look to my wishlist with
a phone case from Casetify
– it’s super chic, very slim and would fit my iPhone perfectly.
Ankle boots are my weakness. I have too many
pairs and I shouldn’t be longing after any more but I just can’t help it. Acne
Studios is also my weakness but that’s something that I’m willing to live with.
I absolutely adore their Pistol Short Boots
despite the high price. The large stitching is unique for leather boots but I
really like the classic style. They’re effortlessly chic and can be worked in a
casual look, biker ensemble or formal outfit. The heel is the perfect size the
lengthen legs without looking strange and black pairs with absolutely everything. To finish the look and theme of simplicity,
I chose the Top Coat
polish by Nars and Quay
Australia sunglasses with a cool mirrored effect!

Super Suede
3 March 2016
I'm so excited for summer. Like seriously, embarrassingly excited for the sun to finally appear. In Yorkshire, all I can see at the moment is snow, and as fun as snow can be, I just love summer style. Wrapping up warm is great, but being cold really isn't. I have Pinterest boards dedicated to both summer and winter style, but a great summer wishlist will always be number one in my heart.
