Autumn Wishlist.

Autumn is here, the weather is colder (much much colder) so we have to adjust to dressing for the cold weather again. I LOVE dressing for the colder seasons. Anyway, here are a few things on my Wish list for autumn.





1) Mini Ipad (white) - I would really like one of these, For several reasons! 1 - it would be useful for my photography work. 2 - they are cool. 3 - I just think they are really useful.

2) Knitted Angora Cable Cardi Topshop - I am such a lover of knit wear. They look great with everything - jeans, shorts, skirts and wooly tights. Plus they are warm!

3)  Zara City Bag (black) - I came across this bag a while ago, but they didn't have it in stock when I wanted in, so for my birthday I got the older version of it, that you will of seen if you read my last post here. I know it's a classic bag amongst bloggers so have ordered it, and very excited to try it out!

4)  Parka With Fur Hoo Pull And Bear - So it's that time of year when you need a good warm winter coat. I have always loved Pull And Bear coats so checked out what they had in and I really liked this.  I like the colour and fur detailing. It also looks pretty snug!

5)  MAC Shy Girl Lipstick - I'm always searching for a neutral, light peachy shaded lipstick, and this one looks lovely.

6) Full Floral And Bird Print Skirt Pull And Bear - I love wearing skirts and little floaty dresses with thick wooly tights and jumpers. I found this little skater style skirt and thought it would go great.

7) Zara Mini Office City Bag Burgendy - Ok, So I know that I already have the original version on here but I love this colour, I think it's gorgeous. For days when you don't need to lug around your bigger everyday bag, this size is perfect to just throw in your essentials.

8) Amelle Ankle Strap Boots Topshop - I love little ankle boots and have wanted some with a small heel. I always feel 'nicer' in heels, but being a country bumpkin, I don't feel I can walk around in a full on heel everyday. So the size of this one is perfect.

Bag Mad | Zara Favourite

Happy Rainy Sunday! <3

I must admit, I am a sucker for wrapping up warm in winter woolies, going for a long walk then coming home and snuggling up on the sofa! Theres just something I love about it, it makes me feel warm and cosy. Plus, sometimes we just have to come to terms with the fact that summer has come and gone again...

Anyway, i'm blabbering. My post today is about my current bag. I have to admit, if I had to choose between being a shoe girl or a bag girl, I would have to say bag. I have always loved handbags, and do have a growing collection in and around my cupboard. They are one of those things that when I buy, I get stupidly excited about. There are so many different bags, of different shapes and sizes, for different occasions, smart, casual, every day, holiday, and the good old all rounder bags.

Back in July it was my 21st birthday, and I was after a new bag. Zara is probably my favourite shop. I think everything in there is gorgeous and fun. But everything still seems to have that sense of elegance - which I love! So needless to say this was the first place I looked. I found the Zara Office City Bag (but in brown) and I instantly loved it, it looks smart and classic. I am a real sucker for a nice tan/brown hand bag. So was gutted when the next day I went to find it to show my Mum, and it had gone.

So anyway, my birthday came and a big box shaped present was there. I opened it to find a big Zara box. Inside it was what I think was the previous version of the City Bag, and I fell in love again! I even preferred it. The leather was so soft, and I loved all the details on it.









There is just something about Zara bags that always look so timeless. The layout inside the bag is pretty similar to the current one. There are 3 big compartments inside, the middle one being a zipped one. There are also small side pockets on the inside of each compartment. It's very spacious, and although I don't have an Ipad and I am sure you can fit them in. I think it goes with pretty much anything I wear as well.

I am also very excited to of ordered the current City Bag in black. I'm sure I will give you a post update when I get it.

Thank you for reading and enjoy your Sunday evening.
