Hello Beauties♥

So, if you follow me on twitter (@labellavida2), you will have seen my latest rant about Primark's rising prices. I know this has been happening for a while but i just feel now, that Primark is pretty much, with the occasional cheap little gem, the same as every other high street shop in regards to it's pricing.

I obviously have noticed the prices going up in there over some time now however looking at their A/W collection for this year has made me realise just now much, and you will see what i mean on the products i show where the prices are known!

Regardless, i still like some of Primarks collection and i thought i would share bits and bobs of it that i will probably purchase throughout AW for myself!

 Shoes:

Strap Boots £18
Buckle Boots £18

Tops:

Sweatshirt £8
Monochrome Jumper
Rose Print Jumper
Bead Blouse £14

Bottoms:

Baroque Shorts £10

Birthday Wishlist!

Hello Beautiful♥

So, it's my birthday next month! And, although i say i don't want to celebrate anymore now that i'm too far past 21, i still want presents, obviously, haha!

Just kidding, i'm not putting this out there for people to buy me presents, i'm just using it as a normal wishlist but as people have asked me what i would like or what i am receiving for my birthday i thought i would just share the things i'm loving at the moment in a wishlist :), so here it is:

I'll go through the items above in order from top left to bottom right and if you love anything and want to buy if for yourself or to buy as a little present for someone you know then simply click the pink writing and it will take you straight to it:

Tiara Charm // Links of London

Passport // Renew or Replace UK here

Crystal Bra // Various places such as Here

Neon Yellow Skater Skirt // Missguided

Mega Platform Shoe // Amazon

MAC Studio Fix Fluid in Colour NC20 // MAC

Chanel Hair Mist // Selfridges

Black Skater Skirt // Amazon

You Can Sit With Us Crop // Amazon

Infinity Type Ring // Various such as Here

So basically, i have liked most of these things for a long time now:

I love my Links bracelet so i love looking through the charms, i like a lot of them on the website just now such as the hedgehog with the apple, the chic handbag and this cute little tiara. Even at 23this July, i still like to think of myself as a princess, haha!

The passport is obviously because i want to go on holiday, i'm planning on bribing my mum into paying for this one for me for my birthday as she has no idea what to get me and it is something worthwhile getting, that i actually need and will use!

Crystal bra, i'm obsessed with these just now, like literally in love. I suppose they could look trashy but i think worn in the right way they are really pretty and can really add sparkle to simple outfits. I just think they're really cute and i desperately need to get my hands on one!

This yellow skater skirt has also been on my wishlist for a while, i love absolutely anything that is yellow just now for some reason and this bright skater has to be mine! Love it and it's so affordable.

These platform shoes are massive, and might break my ankle but i think shoes like this look really cute with skinny jeans and a nice top on a night out and i need a new pair of closed toe black heels to replace my Primark ones which absolutely kill my feet like nothing else!

MAC studio fix fluid is a foundation i love and i just want to go back to it after using Max Factor for some while now, we all need a change every once in a while!

The Chanel Hair Mist obviously isn't essential ad is probably quite a waste of money as i could just use my perfume to mist through my hair, i just thought this was a cool idea for hair lovers and a good present to give anyone you know who likes this kind of thing.

Can't have too many skater skirts and i actually own loads, none of which are black! This one is particularly cheap and well worth a purchase as a wardrobe staple!

You Can't Sit With Us Crop - Literally my favourite saying and movie quote, i've wanted this top for ages and ages so quirky and simple and yet again Amazon have come up trumps! Love it.

Infinity Ring - I look at infinity rings online all the time and i think they are so cute! I have always wanted a really simple cute one maybe with a little bit of sparkle on one side or something and i love the ones that are engraved in the inside, so personal and sweet! Some i have seen online have "I Love You", "Best Friends", "Forever" or some personal sayings engraved inside just for the person you are giving to. Too cute. Probably wouldn't pay a lot for one of these unless it's for something really special, i just really like the affordable cute ones like the one i've linked above :).

So that's basically my July wishlist! Which items do you like from it?

Would you like to give or receive any of these items as a gift?

Weekend Wishing - New Find Fashion Retailers!

Hello Beautiful ♥

Quick Note: Before i begin with this post, i'm sure you have all heard about the end of Google Reader which probably means that GFC will also go, obviously i would still love you all to follow me on GFC if you don't already but, if you like my blog please could you click the little box on the right hand side below my blog archive that says 'follow via bloglovin'. You would make my day and if you leave me your link i will definitely follow you back! Thank-you ♥.

Right, i know in my last post i was moaning about how much money i am constantly spending and my lack of job success however, that shouldn't stop me wishing, right?

So today's post is going to be a wish list post! Rather than go and buy the items i want, i am going to show them, look at them, probably cry that i don't own them, and move on... (or go buy them, the more likely outcome ;)!) 

This wishlist is a bit different however, as it is not going to include any high-street or really well known online stores, instead, i am going to focus it on smaller retailers or online boutiques as i think they sell and array of beautiful things and deserve a lot more recognition than they get! 

By this, i just mean i'm wanting to broaden my horizons from the likes of Topshop, River Island, Primark etc, and have been looking in different places!

Anyway, here is what i want:

First up, is this really quirky top from Birdy's Boutique! I love anything moustache so obviously i want this top! I have seen similar ones around town but i like the font of this one much better! This retails from Birdy's Boutique for £6.99 and you can purchase it by clicking right here. Please also follow them on twitter here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm on a major hunt for cute, quirky crop-top's to go with my new RI high waisted shorts so, if you know of any please pass the link my way, i promise loads of OOTD's are coming with them! 

Anyway, this crop is from Owntherunway.com, i am in love with this print and i already have it in mini-dress form from Karma. It is very similar to body-suits i have seen in Miss Selfridge and it is a snip of the price! Follow Own the Runway on twitter here.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Talking of Karma and Crop-top's, i've fallen in love with this one. I'm so into crazy prints just now and i think this is just so quirky. I may have to purchase this but, i really am trying not to spend money! Cartoon and Monochrome all in one, what's not to love. Obviously you can purchase this clicking here, and you can follow Karma on twitter here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I seriously have fallen in LOVE with the voodoo girl website. It has really different looking items and although i am in love with their voodoo barbie tee, i don't want to feature too much barbie! I am equally in love with this sleeveless shirt and think it would be amazing to dress down with jeans or even wear to the gym! I love everything about it. If you want this you can get it here, and follow them on twitter here.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a few things from SheLikes.com already which i really need to feature in some OOTD's as i've never even worn them yet but, i really love this midi dress. It's simple but has a cute print, will be really cute in S/S13 and will be easy to dress up or dress down. They have loads of different quirky prints and styles and i know you know you want one so, go get one here, and follow them here! 

---------------------------------------------------------------

So, i've only recently discovered Doll Boutique but i am in love with litterally everything they sell! Especially their Mean Girls themed clothing like this 'So Fetch' top, they even have a 'You Go Glen Coco' top, i NEED one in my life, this is why i need money! You can get this top, and their others here, and you can follow these beauties here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This dress, which i cannot stop looking at, needs to be mine. It is so cute! As is everything from thelittledeer, they sell both branded and vitage fashion and have a really cute website so please visit it here, and definitely follow them on twitter here, they deserve way more followers than they have!

------------------------------------------------------------------

This is one of the cutest skirts every from one of the cutest websites ever! ModDolly is quirky website and has a range of different cute, really unique items. I really want this skirt and many more items from their site! You can check out all of ModDolly here and you should go follow them on twitter too, here!

I could list many more cute, quirky websites i have been browsing recently but looking at all the things i want from them and can't have is making me depressive!

If you like this kind of post and you find it useful to see alternative fashion retailers to the usual then please do let me know in the comments as i loved doing this and i love browsing around for fashion pretty much every day so i would love to do more!

As i said above somewhere, i really need to get myself together and get some OOTD's photographed with my new buys so i promise they're coming next!

Lots of Love

Thursday Lust List!

Hello ♥

I've been eyeing up some things online these days spending money in my head as i'm poor! Regardless, i'm going to show you what i'm currently lusting after!

New Look shoe boot which you can buy here.

I adore this shoe! It's a steal at only £29.99 and although i am skint i feel as though i might have to invest in these if i find them in my local New Look. I love them!

Missguided sequin sleeve jacket - here.

Another thing which makes me wish i had a full-time job so i could have this! I love this jacket and it's probably a bit of a marmite love/hate product, but, i'm in love. I recently purchased the Primark Safari jacket with faux leather sleeves which i'm equally in love with and it was so cheap compared to other versions out there!

MUA Artiste collection palette which you can get here. Still haven't been able to get my hands on this through my local Superdrug but i'm sure i will!

Topshop knitted patchwork jumper - here.

So cute and perfect for the winter months!

Miss Selfridge Project #3 Collection lace maxi dress which you can get here.

Couldn't want this dress more if i tried. As always when i love something from Miss Selfridge though, it's out of stock at the moment. Probably a good thing, stops me spending!

I really really want this OPI nail polish in 'The World is Not Enough' from the James Bond Skyfall collection! You can buy this here. My sister has 'Golden Eye' from the collection and it's really lovely. I may have to invest in one myself!

Topshop Aubergine Cross Stitch Hat - here.

I have seen loads of bloggers blog about this hat and i am endlessly jealous! I just cannot justify paying £14 for a hat though! I'm not really a hat wearer but i'm loving this colour and i really want one so if you have spied a cheaper similar alternative let me know where ;).

H&M fake fur collar - here.

Amazing, perfect for winter and goes with pretty much anything. Need it.

Dying to try out Maybelline's new Fit Me foundation. I've had a look online and managed to claim a free mini sample from the maybelline site, they even give you a few helping hints with colour matching which i thought was great! If there's any left head over to maybelline here and get your free sample if you want to try out this foundation too!

H&M studded bag - here.

You all know already how stud obsessed i am if you have read my previous posts so it's no surprise that this makes my lust list. They have it in this black with gold studs or light beige with silver studs and i love them both!

So that's mostly all i'm lusting after lately. 

Do you like or own any of these?

What are you currently lusting after?
