I neeeeeeed it!

Between magazines and perusing various blogs, this week I have found a few things I would like to stuff in my wardrobe or add to to my makeup bag.

The first is actually something I saw last week in All Saints. Now, I love this shop, but the last time I went it had all become a bit 'samey' with over done designs that were ridiculously expensive and I hadn't been in ages. I went to spend a giftcard I had for my birthday and actually re-fell (word?!) in love.

I actually brought this sequin bow t-shirt to add to my staple wardrobe of long t-shirts and leggings.

I love the little detail and it's so different from anything else I've seen in there.

Anyway, on the way out I saw this yeehaw vest, there aren't any pictures on the website of the vest but this is the t-shirt. I love it. I love the length and the quirkiness. I think you love it or hate it, but it's something I need in my wardrobe.

At the moment there are loads of summer t-shirts that are a little different, some I'm not too keen on like the skeleton family portraits, but the floral zebra dress and all of the men's t-shirts are really different. I think they've stepped it up a little since other stores, including Asda, have been producing similar skeleton and rams skulls printed tees. So that has a thumbs up.

Moving on, a little visit to MAC may be in order. When I was 17 I had a nude lipstick and loved it, it was a little concealer lips for some but I didn't care. My lips are really pink and I'd like to tone it down a little bit. On the other side, I want something 'poppy' for a night out. I want a colour totally different to what I normally wear (which is actually just a MAC lipgloss) and a little bit summery.

I've been leaning towards snob, but it will just depend when I'm there as it'll probably look awful.

Next up, I've been coveting a new satchel style bag for a while. My favourite Marks and Spencer failed me picking my little brother up from school, when the clasp snapped on the playground. I'm sure there's something I can do to fix it, but I'd always be wary of using it.

I saw this bag a while ago in a magazine trend column and it has now finally arrived in Next stores. I'm a little apprehensive about what it actually looks/feels like in reality, and with all the Mulberry imitations out there at the moment (Peacocks and Internacionale) I'm concerned it's a little like jumping on the fake bandwagon. Time and a good mooch will tell.

And finally, exfoliator. I need one which won't react with my skin but will do a decent job. My skin isn't overly sensitive, but it really doesn't like some things. I generally go for these things either by good review or smell, and it's all trial and error. I'll let you know when I've found a hero product.
