Here in England this post may be wishful thinking (I'm currently looking at a slight flurry of snow) but I wanted to use it as a pick me up! Don't get me wrong, I love Fall/Winter and layer up, but enough with this ice cold wind.
This is just something I put together to give me some ideas for Spring/Summer outfits. We will see if I pick some of these bits up over the next couple of months. I've been lusting after these metal toe slipper shoes since seen Lilly wearing them in a number of outfits.
Are you lusting after the summer feeling?

Top 5 - Blushes
Honestly, I'm not the biggest blush fan. A lot has to do with the fact I'm a bit hit a miss with my application. My cheek bones are pretty high, and I tend to struggled with blush placement. I some how end up looking like a dirty tramp. Not good. I have however managed to obtain a rather larger collection, most MAC with a few other brands thrown in for good measure.
I picked this up awhile ago, I think when Topshop first released their Make-up range. There was quite a lot of hype surrounding this blush so I thought why not. I must say when I first saw it and swatched it I thought there was no way I was going to wear it, it was so, Neon (duh). But when blended out it gives a really natural and life like hue to the cheek. It's differently a staple in mt collection, it always goes with me.
Well I'm sorry that this blush is looking in such a state, I managed to crack it while depotting and had to repress it. This blush is sadly well discontinued, it came out with the Barbie collection way back in 2007 (!!!). I picked this up in a sale some time last year and haven't stopped using it! I love everything about this blush, the pigmentation is amazing as is the color and consistency. It's a bright blue based pink, with a slight frost.
The name on this is a little deceiving, it leans towards the pink side rather the the peach. Saying that it's not the most unique color ever, but still, I love it. It's just so easy and simple to wear. I'll throw this on when I can't make my mind up and it will work with any eye and lip combo. It's pigmentation is perfect, not to make but enough that you know you've got it on. It gives my skin a gorgeous glow and color, and is perfect over Neon Rose by Topshop above.
4. MAC - Pretty Baby
itWhile this is not technically a blush it's a beauty power, I use it as a blush (what else you would use it for, I'm unsure) so I'm including it, so ner. Another discontinued product, sorry! This came out with the much talked about Hello Kitty Collection in 2009. Again I snatched this up in a sale, mostly for the packaging. I will one day when I get round to it put my face power in here to keep in my purse, as it's duper cute. Anyway, the actual product. It's very light and sheer baby pink with a tiny sheen. I use this on nights out or when I've got a bright pink lip as it gives a subtle glow and it actually last a really long time on the skin.
You do not need to adjust your computer screens, the blush really is this bright. A bright pink/fuchsia it may not seem like everyones delious cuppa tea. However once blended into the skin it gives a youthful flush. It's super pigmented so a little goes a long way, so this will last forever.

| Cross Drop Earrings | ABLAZE Super High Wedge | Kitson Heart & Charm Bracelet |
Crosses make up a large section of my jewellery stash, as they do with a lot of people recently. They seem timeless. I've no idea why I love them so much, they just seem to work with anything I wear them with. I do however draw the line at wearing rosaries. Just no. When I wear my hair up, which is not very offten I like to wear big earrings to offset my giant face/head. The length of these is really fun, owning nothing like these I know really want them. Don't laugh, I kinda did the first time I saw these and I think that's why I want them. They are just so ridiculous, way to high. I also think my great-gran had curtains with the same pattern. Watching TheCurretBobbies is not good for my health. Having seen Lorein wearing the Chan Luu wrap bracelets I've been lusting after one. Sadly I can't warrant spending that much money on a mainly fabric bracelet, so I'll settle for this look-a-like. Eurgh settle for, how first world of me!

New Look will always hold a place in my heart, I don't think I've ever been in and not bought something! It's my go to shop if I need a particular outfit. Anyway, enough praise. First, these types of dress have always been around and I've just never been that interested. Wearing cardigans almost constantly, come rain or shine means long sleeved dresses pose a problem. This may be the first sleeveless dress in this style I've seen. Color isn't my 'thang. However I really like the color blocking 'trend', and I think the second dress will work without me looking like pixie sticks. I've always been a floral fan, dress, shoes, bags, anything. And this was just another dress that caught my eye. I loved this dress the moment I saw it, it reminds of 90's school discos. No idea why. I most likely layer this with some kind of sheer shirt or long jacket.

Topshop

| Grey Drape Front Blouse | Pleated Neck Dress | Grey Floral Print Snood |
I was disappointed with how little I wanted from Topshop, normally I find around 10 things I believe I need. But alas, better for my bank balance. The blouse is the most amazing colours, that slight dirty purple grey. Well I hope it is actually that colour compared to just a plain grey. The shape of it is really intresting and unusal, it'd probaby layer is with the Sparkley Tunic from New Look above. Wine colours are everywhere for Autum/Winter and this is one of my favourite dress so far. I'm always a fan of layer sheer materials, to be honest I just low layers! The tan belt really pulls the whole thing together. Pastal colours are a staple in my waldrobe, but I don't actually have many iteams of clothing in this color range. I feel they make me look larger. However I own many shoes, bags and scarvles in a range of pastals. So this snood would fit in perfectly!
