Boden Wishlist May 2015

In recent months I’ve come to really love the Boden Clothing website. I don’t exactly remember anymore how I came across it in the first place but I fell head over heels in love with the brand and haven’t looked back since. I love how classic, yet stylish and fun all of their pieces are and find myself perusing the website way too often. One of the best features on the site is the ‘Outfit Maker’ which is super handy to create outfits and see how the different items look together.
Unfortunately it also makes me want to buy EVERYTHING and makes me long for an entirely new spring and summer wardrobe. For now though I made this wishlist of some of my favourite pieces, some of which I will definitely add to my wardrobe soon.

What do you think about Boden? Have you tried the Outfit Maker yet? Believe me it’s great 🙂

Have a nice day

Currently on my wishlist #3 | Autumn Edition

1. Riding Boots

I’ve been on the hunt for some nice leather riding boots for ages now but I find it incredibly difficult to find some that I like and that are at least halfway affordable. I very much like these Tory Burch ones but they are more on the pricey side and also hard to get hold of in Germany. But I will definitely keep an eye out for the perfect pair.

2. Longchamp Le Pliage Bag

Although everyone and their mother seem to own one of those these days I still want one because I like that it goes with so many different outfits and that it fits all my stuff.

3. Barbour Jacket

In my book Barbour Jackets are the epitome of autumn and I can see myself wearing one for a nice autumnal walk in the country as well as running errands in town. I like how they look somewhat “put together” and classic while being very functional aswell. (oh how I dislike getting wet)
One of these jackets will definitely end up in my wardrobe one day.

4. Checked Skirts

I don’t know what it is but I love checked skirts (well checked everything really ;-)). Maybe that’s because schooluniforms are very uncommon in Germany and I feel like I missed out on that.
(although I’m aware that people who were obliged to wear them don’t share that feeling)
This season I will definitely invest in a skirt like the one above to wear with some thick black tights and boots. I can’t wait!

5. Cable Knit Jumper

I’m a big lover of cable knit jumpers, particularly those with a crew neck. I already own a few but I still miss a nice bright red one in my collection.

6. Jo Malone Earl Grey & Cucumber Cologne

I love Jo Malone products and now have my eye on their Earl Grey & Cucumber Cologne which I heard and read loads of great things about. Next time I get the chance I will definitely give it a good sniff and probably buy it aswell 😉

7. Joules Wellington Boots

How adorable are these wellies! I haven’t owned a pair of wellies since I was a child but when I saw these I wanted them immediately. I love the fun print and I can picture myself wearing them on a nice walk (together with my Barbour jacket hehe). They are quite affordable too which is always a plus in my book.

What’s on your wishlist this autumn?

New in: Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

I’ve finally done it! After lusting over the Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac for almost a year now I finally treated myself to it and made it a christmas present to myself.
I had been looking for a good quality crossbody bag for some time and when I came across this one I immediately wanted one for myself. I decided to get it in the colour Taupe because I think that it fits with most of my outfits and can be dressed up aswell as down. I also wanted a colour that is wearable in all seasons so I wanted it to be neither too bright nor to dark.

I really like that the chain is adjustable which means that I can wear it across my body or as a shoulder bag like on the above picture. The leather is super soft which makes it feel very nice but at the same time makes it a bit delicate which is ok for me. The golden hardware is good quality too and I just love the black and blue lining.

 

 

 

Although it was quite an investment for me I’m sure I will get lots of use out of it for many years to come. 🙂
You can get it from saksfifthavenue.com

Floral Spring Tops

A few weeks ago I went to Primark, one of my favourite shops for basics such as plain t-shirts, nightware, flip flops and even the odd piece of jewellery.
Although I’ve been quite familiar with Primark because of numerous trips to England, it’s fairly new in Germany and certainly not yet a shop to be found on every high street.

The problem I sometimes have with Primark is that the quality and sizing of their stuff fluctuates. Anyone who’s shopped there has probably come across that aswell at some point.
Since the changing room queues are usually waaaay too long for an impatient person like me I tend to not try things on unless I really need to make sure that the size I picked actually fits me. I find this particularly difficult with trousers because there doesn’t seem be to just one right size for me…
Most other things like tops are easier to find in the right size even without having to try them on.

Anyway let’s get to the actual topic of this post. I was on the “look out” for some cute spring-ish pieces and I was lucky and came across these two adorable floral tops.
I had been looking for something like this for some time so these two beauties had to come home with me 😉

Although they might look a bit shapeless and creased on the pictures they both fit very nicely and I love wearing them. Also the price was quite good which is always a plus (I love finding bargains).
They were both something between 7-9 Euros as far as I remember.

 So all in all I’m very happy with my purchases and I hope to find more cute pieces like this for spring and summer.
