WISHLIST WEDNESDAY // DUNE LONDON // CASUAL LUXE

I've never really payed much notice to Dune London before, but over the past few weeks I've had to go in for a quick look every time I walk past it. I've been lusting over their gorgeous AW collection which features deep hues of burgundy, fur and over the knee boots. Dune offer lots of pairs of luxury shoes without the luxury price. Most shoes range between £100 and £200 which may seem a lot, but it's worth it for the quality and high-fashion style. They also offer bags and other accessories which are also gorgeous. There's a lot of things I really would like from Dune but unfortunately I can't afford much right now due to the hectic Christmas period quickly approaching (oh dear Lord help me!!!)... so here's just a few things at the top of my wish list right now. 

Links:

1) Burgundy Over the Knee Boots £149 

2) Black Leather Heeled Ankle Boots £115

3) Black Leather Slingback Pointed Toe Heeled Shoe Boots £89

4) Grey Folded Collar Suede Heeled Ankle Boots £115

5) Faux Fur Cossack Hat £35

Style Crush // Emma Stone

Emma Stone is undoubtedly one of the most influential women of the moment. The 'Easy A' star strikes us with her fiery red hair and loveable personality. 

I absolutely love this sophisticated, preppy look. The a-line skirt suits her figure beautifully and the red shoes make those pins stand right out! The monochrome look gives a sense of simplicity but the burst of colour adds an element of fun.

Emma rocks this look and really makes it work.

Steal her style with Next:

Peplum Sweater £28

Black Check Skirt £40

Patent Point Shoes £28

Post Weekend Superfood Smoothie

(Not so) happy Monday everyone! If you're like me and feeling the after effects of the weekend, then you'll be feeling quite disgusting and sluggish right now. Fortunately, I have created the remedy to revitalise your lifeless body and leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. 

This smoothie is full of the latest craze of 'superfoods' which are beneficial to your whole body as they improve your overall health, boost your immune system and provide many other benefits. It also includes antioxidants which helps prevent disease and potassium, which helps blood pressure and many more.

Most importantly, this smoothie tastes absolutely delicious! It has a gorgeous sweet, fruity taste which is ridiculously addicting and leaves you wanting more.

Recipe

* 1 1/2 cups water

* 1/4 - 1/2 cup of goji berries (the more, the sweeter)

* 1 tsp chia seeds

* 1 cup blueberries (see note)

* 1/2 banana

BLEND & ENJOY!

-note- any fruit can be used in replacement of the blueberries. This recipe also tastes great with raspberries. Experiment and let me know what fruit you used!

BEYONCE x TOPSHOP

Yes... you did read that title correctly and I can't believe it either. The one and only Queen Bee is set to collaborate with Topshop in 2015, producing a range of sports, fitness and dance clothing, shoes and accessories.

Topshop aren't really known for their activewear but now there will be something available for you gym bunnies that will allow you to be active whilst looking fierce.

Although Bey is one of the most powerful and richest women in the world, she absolutely loves Topshop and is a keen buyer of the brand. She says, "I have always loved Topshop for their fashion credentials and forward thinking."

The un-named range is due to be released in autumn 2015. There isn't much info as of yet, but watch this space in the upcoming months to find out more!

Quirky Queendom

Queendom of Oeuf is a newly founded brand which features a series of pieces ranging from tees to scarves, each highlighting a drawing by the designer. The brand promotes quirky and original designs aimed at individuals with an effortless sense of style. 

Each drawing is inspired by philosophical and psychological roots, and features elements of fun and fantasy. Behind each design is a story to be told.

Every piece is aesthetically pleasing and expresses the artist's playful personality and passion.

I find these dramatic designs full of meaning and emotion and they are an extraordinary display of talent. Her pieces are physically and imaginatively idiosyncratic.

If you are an individual who seeks directional and complex art combined with fashion, then Queendom of Ouef is the brand for you. The pieces featured in this post (and more) can be found here on the website.

UPDATE x EDINBURGH TRAVELS

                  

Hey guys! Sorry I've been totally abandoning the blog lately. I'm currently in Edinburgh with my boyfriend celebrating our one year anniversary and I don't have my laptop so I can't really do any proper posts. But don't worry... I have plenty of posts coming up once I'm back. Also let me know what you think of this makeup look and if you'd like me to do a tutorial.
