A/W 2011 Wishlist!

I love doing posts like this because they are a permanent reminder of the items I need to save up for and buy! I often write lists down on bits of till roll when it's quiet at work and then lose them. But when it is here on my blog, published for the world (hah) to see, I always know where to find my wishlist.

Black high heels

I am in love with a pair of block heeled Mary-Janes from Topshop but they don't have them in any of my local stores and I am not sure about buying shoes online, especially when delivery is £4. So I am on the search for something similar- a pair of shoes I can party in or wear to go out for a meal. I like Mary-Janes because the strap makes me feel secure; I tend to walk out of shoes with no straps! Having said that I love these from Office even if the price is a little steep. I don't really want to go over £60 and I'm hoping New Look will come up trumps, as that's where I got my last pair from- £20 when I was 19 and they lasted me over 5 years. If I can't find nything else these will do, though I would prefer a higher heel.

Fit and flare dresses

I have been in love with this Topshop dress for months. It's quite expensive at £48 but it's such a classic shape and design and excellent quality that I feel I will get my moneys worth out of it. I realised I don't have an all-occasions black dress.
Boohoo have some colourful cheap options too so I might get a mustard one to be trendy.


Brown skirt
I am pretty taken with this pleated brown skirt from New Look. I feel like it really suits the aesthetic I'm going for this A/W plus it's £19.99 and I have a £10 voucher to spend in New Look- everyone's a winner. I'd like to wear it with this amazing body I saw on the Forever21 website:

It's velvet!

Warm Tights Need I explain? Every winter I go on a tights haul- woolly black, sheer black for nights out, woolly grey, woolly purple, and whatever else I decide I fancy!

Boots

Not strictly necessary because I got a new pair of ankle boots last winter but I want some brown ones. They're pretty cheap at New Look and I can't see the point of spending much as I always ruin them anyway.


A coat

Again not really needed but I'm keeping my eyes open for a reasonably priced coat that ISN'T black.

I must not be tempted to buy anything else before I have these basics...wish me luck with that.

To play me out, a suitable tune from The Mamas and The Papas (the leaves are brown and the sky is grey indeed!) I love it when bloggers link to a song with relevant lyrics or a relevant feel to it, and I always mean to do it.
