October Wishlist

October Wishlist by bea-atreides 

COS Top,  / ASOS boyfriend jeans / Miss Selfridge fedora hat / Converse All star ox low navy blue canvas, / Zara leather top

Going on holiday in September meant that I couldn't make any additions to my Essential Wardrobe, however, it did give me plenty of planning time for what I would be treating myself to this AW. 

After having my wardrobe detox/clear out, I have been left with very little, so when I say "I have nothing to wear!" I actually really mean it! 

One thing I am seriously lacking in is suitable winter footwear, and with all the rain we have had this week, what I do have is suffering. You can't go wrong with a pair of comfy Converse (5) for more casual days and I love these Zara knee high boots (2) very Givenchy, Alexander Wang-esque and friendlier on my purse!

As I mentioned here, a Breton stripe top would be one of my first purchases, staying true to this I think I may go for this one from COS (1), I love the shape and COS are known for their quality/tailoring. Another classic I have been lusting after is a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans, I really like these ones from ASOS (4).

Finally, an accessory that I have been lusting after for weeks now, this Miss Selfridge Berry Fedora (3), I tried it on the other day and it is the perfect shape and colour! 

Hopefully, one or two of these items will make it into my bare wardrobe this month!!!

Wardrobe Classic - Breton Stripe Top

September is just around the corner and therefore the busiest month in fashion is fast approaching...

So it is time to start embracing my AW wardrobe, sticking to my Wardrobe Classics list. 

After much inspiration and pinning, I have decided that first on my purchase list is going to be the Breton Stipe top, it's classic, versatile and perfect for the transeasonal period.

Here are my top picks...

Spring Basics

Apologies for the irregularity of my posts at the moment, I'm in the final few weeks of university (minus 3 exams in May), so it has been deadline after deadline... 2 presentations done, just to complete my dissertation for the end of March!  After then, normal blogging should resume, so please bear with me!!!

I was browsing the COS website the other day, I really do love the simple tailoring of this brand.

I thought these pieces would be great basics for a Spring wardrobe.  I'm a massive fan of the basic tee and I love this one with pocket, especially in the mint green. The contrasting denim shirt is lush too, I'm on the hunt for the perfect one.
