Colour Crush: Burnt Orange

1  |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |  6  |  7  |  8  |  9
*Will add the links to 6, 7, 8 and 9 when Dorothy Perkins and Topshops websites are back up!*

Here's another Colour Crush post - thanks for all the lovely comments on the Burgundy one! It took me quite a long time to find enough items in the colour I wanted but here it is! I was also thinking picking out some of these items and putting them into a sort of 'How To Style' post? What do you think?
Hope you all had a good weekend :)

Wish list #10

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
I've been trying to write this post for ages but I keep getting distracted (I've just come back after saving an innocent mouse from my cats evil jaws!) This post was actually going to be a DIY too but I mucked it up so I'll have to rethink that one. Anyway...

1. Mustard body con skirt: I don't have anything mustard in my wardrobe, I wouldn't mind a mustard shift dress either...
2. I've wanted something with stars and stripes on for a long time and I was thinking of buying just a plain black bandeau for the summer, but hey, why not meet in the middle?! 
3. I love these bracelets! They disappeared from the website for a while and I was pretty distraught, haha! I already have the red one, I want to get all of them though :) I seem to be cocking everything up recently so I thought it was appropriate ;)
4. I've always liked the infamous Topshop flag shorts, but they're so sought after so many people must have a pair by now. Definitely going to have to try them on :D
5. Not completely sure about this ring but it's got the YSL arty ring feel to it.

Lastly, how cool is this Danielle Scutt jewellery? I doubt I'd wear any of it but I like the idea!

The Magpie

Magpie - Fountain pen and Indian ink
 I'm currently doing part of my art project on nests. I'm looking at magpies and the way they steal jewellery and the folklore surrounding them. Recently I've been a bit of a magpie myself - stalking a good majority of the jewellery in the shops at the moment! I went to Primark in search of nail foils - I was unsuccessful and instead ended up finding these earrings:
6 pairs for just £2!
Back in the Summer, I nabbed these from Topshop for £2 (in the sale) as well. Spot the difference anyone?! I'm quite please I can have pairs now :)

I think these will end up being some of my most worn jewellery - I've got to sort out the backs for them though, they are so tight! On that note, here is some my favourite jewellery!
