September is here, and that means food and shopping

Anyone else excited September is here? Autumn is my favourite season and I'm super excited about going back to uni and seeing my housemates. The arrival of September also means that I'll be heading off to France on Holiday with my boyfriend soon, so if I'm not blogging thats why.

Today I went to Bluewater Shopping Mall with the female members of my family. The first stop (like always) was lunch at Wagamama. 

I had Chicken and Prawn Udon Noodles. It was delicious. One of my favourite meals at Wagamama. My sister had never had it before so she went for it too. My sister and mum both had noodle soups.

Sadly I was on a budget (student saving) so I only bought a few neccessary items. The first were some Leigh jeans from Topshop to replace my ones that are ripping, and the second was a jumper from H&M to keep me warm. Sorry, I can't find a link

I also found a beautiful skirt in Urban Outfitters which I'm in love with and think might find it's way onto my birthday list. Again, I can't find it online, but whilst looking I found these beautiful ones: here, here and here

And I also bought a present for my friend's birthday which is coming up this month, though I can't share what it is incase he reads this. But here's the teaser photo I sent him..

Not the most exciting trip in terms of shopping but I had a great day with my sisters and mum. Hope you all had a good beginning of September too.

'One Day' wishes

There are certain items, classics if you will, that I am desperate to become the owner of. Unfortunately, my current lifestyle or budget doesn't allow for such splurges, but that doesn't mean that one day I won't be the owner of own of these beautiful items.

Christian Louboutin

Can you get anything more sophisticated and classic than a pair of black Christian Louboutin shoes? I'd love to own a pair of these to wear to nice parties and dinners, but seeing as my social life mainly consists of night clubs with sticky floors and broken glass under foot, maybe I should wait before splurging out on a pair of these.

Burberry

 A Burberry trench coat. I can't explain to you why I love these so much, but I think they are so elegant and beautiful. I have to have one in my life at some point.

Mulberry

And lastly, what woman isn't complete without a stand out beautiful bag. Choosing just four to put in this collage was tough. They have so many gorgeous bags, it was so hard to pick. 

So here are some of the things that I will own one day. What about you? Is there anything that I haven't mentioned that you've been dreaming of, or hope to one day own?

Blog your dreams

So…my spending ban didn't go to well..

But how cool is this bag? 

I bought it from Bershka and as soon as I saw it I had to have it. It's quite a big size, so I wasn't sure exactly what I'll use if for yet, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Anyway, now all of our university work is out the way, my housemate and I have been enjoying living in Malta to the full. We've been to the beach (the backdrop of the above pictures) and last weekend we went on a boat party. It was AMAZING. Free drinks and food plus great music, what more could you want? The only bit I was slightly worried about was jumping in the water at 8 o'clock at night, brrrrrrr.

However, the water was actually really warm (the copious amounts of sangria I had might have helped) and jumping off the boat into the water was so much fun, I loved it!

A Skint Student's Wishist

Being a student pretty much means your on a limited budget. And no matter how much you really really want to go shopping to buy that amazing top that you can't get out of your head, you have to accept that you can't afford it. So instead I've put together a summer outfit wish list. Last summer it was all about pastels, but this year I'm really liking monochrome with a splash of bright colour.

Hat: Topshop
Lipgloss: Superdrug
Bag: Forever 21
Skirt: Forever 21
Cropped Top: Topshop
Necklace: Accessorize
Shoes: Zara

What do you think of my outfit, anything you would change? I love to see how different people style items of clothing.  What colours will you be wearing this summer?

Tag: THIS or THAT?

I always get so excited when I get tagged to do a post. So thank you Holly for asking me to do this one. If you haven't checkout out Holly's blog Holly Mixtures then you HAVE to. Fine, I can't force you, but really, you should. She's very funny and gorgeous. Ok enough sucking up :) but really, check her out

So the tag I've been tagged to do is the Beauty 'This or That Tag'. Here are the questions:

Make Up:

Blush or Bronzer? 

If you'd asked me a couple of months ago I definitely would have said blusher, but recently it's been all about the bronzer. I change my mind a lot, what can I say :)

Lipgloss or Lipstick?

Lipstick. The only time I use lipgloss, is over the top of lipstick

Liner or Mascara? 

Mascara, I think it opens up your eyes and makes you look more awake

Foundation or Concealer? 

Normally I would say foundation but as Malta is getting hotter and hotter, I don't really fancy putting foundation on, just to have it run off my face in a clumpy sweaty mess (nice image Georgia). So I've just been using a touch of concealer where I need it most. 

Neutral Eyeshadow or Colour? 

Neutral all the way

Pressed or loose eyeshadow?

Well seeing as I've never owned a loose eyeshadow...

Nails and Body:

OPI or China Glaze? 

...Essie? Barry M? Maybe even No. 7

Long or Short Nails?

Long, but my nails are sooo crazy flimsy I can never get them to grow particularly long. Maybe I should try fake nails?? I think my boyfriend might have a fit.

Acrylic or Natural? 

Oh, well I kind of answered this question above..maybe I should have read these through first..

Brights or Darks? 

This depends massively on the time of the year. Right now, the thought of lazing in the sun wearing black sounds like a form of torture. But during the winter months, I couldn't get enough of it

Flower or No Flower?

I'm going to have to agree with Holly here....what does that even mean?!

Perfume or Body Splash? 

Perfume, though it does attract the mosquitoes :( 

Lotion or Body Butter? 

Body lotion, I prefer the texture

Body Wash or Soap?

Body wash all the way

Lush or other bath company? 

I need to admit something...I don't like baths. I know, I'm sorry, I should be kicked out of the blogging community, but I just don't get it. Why would you wanna sit in your own dirty water for 20 mins? I just find the whole experience stressful and uncomfortable.

Fashion:

Jeans or Sweat Pants?

Jeans!

Long Sleeve or Short Sleeve? 

Right now? As it hits 25 degrees? I think I might have to say short sleeves...

Dresses or skirts? 

Both :) (is that cheating?)

Stripes or Plaid? 

Stripes, but I prefer a floral pattern if there's an option for that?

Flip Flops or Sandals? 

Sandals. I always manage to trip over in flip-flops 

Scarves or Hats? 

Scarves, I love them!

Studs or Dangly Earrings? 

Studs. I have a really small head (weird thing to say I know, but it's true) and I think dangly earrings emphasise this. 

Heels or Flats? 

Heels :)

Cowboy Boots or Riding Boots? 

If I had to choose...riding boots

Jacket or Hoodie? 

Jacket, unless I'm chilling in the house, then it's all about the giant, two sizes too big for me hoodie

Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe?

Forever 21. I really like the Birmingham Bull Ring branch but am not too impressed with the Bluewater one (which annoyingly is my closest one). Sort it out F21

Abercrombie or Hollister? 

Hollister, because I own a hoodie from there and LOVE the fact that the sleeves are so long. 

Hair:

Curly or Straight? 

Straight

Bun or Ponytail?

Either

Bobby Pins or Butterfly Clips? 

Bobby pins. But all my housemates call them hair grips and laugh at me when I call them bobby pins. Who is this bobby person anyway? 

Hair Spray or Gel? 

Hair spray, not that it does anything. I have really silky hair so nothing, and I mean nothing, holds it in place

Long or Short? 

Long

Light or Dark? 

Dark, though I currently have light tips

Side Sweep or Full Bangs? 

I currently have no fringe whatsoever, just a middle parting, but I am thinking of having a sweepy one cut in when I go back to England

Up or Down? 

Down

Random:

Rain or Shine? 

Shine, nobody prefers the rain surely?

Apart from ducks, they go crazy for it

Summer or Winter? 

Winter

Fall or Spring? 

Autumn! My favourite of all the seasons 

Chocolate or Vanilla?

 Vanilla? Depends what your talking about. If it's ice cream then neither!

East Coast or West Coast? 

I think this is more for America, but seeing as I am in Malta, I'm going to answer it for here. The west coast has all the sandy beaches, but I live on and love the east coast for it's busier towns and beautiful rocky beaches, (plus the nightlife).

I hope you enjoyed this tag. If you liked it and want to do it yourself then please do, but make sure you put the link in the comments so I can have a read :)

Here's a couple of people I'd love to tag,

Alice from The Cup and Saucer

Amy from A Little Boat Sailing

Fran from Been there, Done that, Got the lipstick

Em from Highland Fling

and my current favourite blog, Rosie from Cider with Rosie. Check out her blog, her dog is seriously cute

Christmas Wishlist #1

Hope you all have had a lovely week. I know I have as my boyfriend came out to Malta to see me. I haven't seen him in three months so it was amazing to see him!

Anyway, here are some of the things on my Christmas Wishlist :)

1. Stone pendant necklace from Urban Outfitters.
This necklace is so pretty. I love the purple colour, and have been wearing lots of gold recently, so it's perfect. It's very wearable and will go with loads of outfits this winter, whilst still looking lovely come spring/summer over some pastel colours or light floral patterns. £18

2. Mac Quad Eye Shadow Palette
I have been lusting over some Mac eye shadows for ages now, so this has been on my Christmas list since waaaayy back. The two colours that have caught my eye are Satin Taupe and Smut, as I think the purple-y shades will  go beautifully with brown eyes. £6.50 for Palette and £10 each for the eye shadow refill pan

3. Lauren McCalmont 'Love My Winter Warmers Glad The Boiler Broke' Scarf from Asos
This scarf is on my wishlist, and I'm pretty sure that's where it will stay with this hefty price tag. I like how the bright pink looks against the darker colours, and think it's a really fun scarf, but for £55! 

4. Topshop Leigh Skinny Jeans in Dark Khaki
I already have these jeans in a different colour and LOVE them. I tend to live in jeans, so like to have different colours giving me more choice. A perfect colour for winter. £38

5. Ribbon Hair Ties from notonthehighstreet.com
Pretty colours, plus they aren't supposed to leave that kink you get in your hair when you have a hair band in for too long. Useful! £10

I hoped you liked the first of my Christmas Wishlists. Let me know if you have any of these items, or if they're on your own list? If you have written a similar blog post about what you would like for Christmas, then please link it below as I find it interesting reading what other people want this year (plus I'm nosey).

October Wishlist

It's been a bit odd being in Malta this autumn. Normally at home I would be getting my boots out, and putting my scarves on. Cups of tea in front of the fire. And many other things lots of other bloggers have been talking about.

But over here in Malta it is still about 27 degrees. And it's hard to get excited about Winter and Christmas when sunbathing on a beach!

I have been told it will get cold in a month or so though, so my wishlist reflects what I would like as the weather gets a bit cooler. (Plus I am going home for a couple of weeks for Christmas so will need some bits then)

So here goes:

1. Essie nail varnish in the colour 'Carry On'
2. 'Live Laugh Love' Cushion from Next
3. Jumper from Mango
4. Black Bag from Zara
5. Lipstick from Topshop in the colour Beguiled
6. Flask from Cath Kidston

Olympics OOTD

Yesterday I went to the Olympics! It was such a good day. My family and I went to go and watch the basketball (Dad's choice), but how could I pass up the opportunity to soak up the Olympic spirit in the Olympic Park.

My youngest sister and me at the Olympic Park

I thought I would do an OOTD post for you and I was quite pleased with the outfit I chose in the end. I think it looks pretty and girly without being too dressy. Plus most of the items are new and I was desperate to wear them :)

Top: Zara

 The top I wore is from Zara and I am totally in love with it. It's a white/cream colour, slightly sheer and has beautiful detailing on the shoulders and cuffs.

My new jeans are from Topshop. They're the 'Leigh' design, super skinny and have a dappled effect on them.

Jeans: Topshop

I kept the accessories simple, so as to not over crowd the outfit. The belt I wore was from h&m and is a gorgeous rose gold colour. I have a feeling I'll be wearing this lots over the next couple of months.

Belt: h&m

 The watch I wore was from Asos. It has a dark leopard print strap and a gold watch face. I wear it every day and feel lost without it. I also wore some beautiful stud earrings that were a present from my boyfriend. Sadly I couldn't get a picture of them as my iPhone wouldn't focus on them properly and all the pictures turned out blurry, but there are white gold, yellow gold and rose gold.

Watch: ASOS

I had loads of fun, and it was a brilliant day out. Go team GB and congrats on hosting such a wonderful event (oooh, aren't I getting patriotic).

Latitude OOTD

Dress: H&M
Scarf: Primark
Socks: H&M
Necklace: Topshop
Watch: Asos
