The Fashion Femme Summer Wishlist

Hi Babes,
If you still remember who I am, great! Second year of uni has been taking over everything at the moment. Studying a fashion degree the workload is pretty tough, so unfortunately I've had to abandon my little blog which has been such a shame, a lot of things haven't gone things haven't gone this year how I had planned them to go but hey ho.

I've made a little wishlist for summer, okay, it's technically still April, but it's definitely not too early to start getting excited for summer! I have a feeling Summer 2019 is going to be a good one.

- Missguided Honey Bunny Top
I'm currently obsessed with anything with stripes. I love the pink and white stripes on this top, whilst it's a crop top and would look in sunny days, you can add layers too it for chillier days.

- Missguided Light Wash Blue Skirt
Denim skirts are an ESSENTIAL for summer, and I definitely don't have enough of them! I love light wash blue denim and the moment, it looks amazing with a summer tan.

- England Women's Away Kit Shirt
As you may know if you follow me on twitter, I'm a huge supporter of women's football, and the women's world cup is coming up this summer! When the world cup away kit (the first kit specially designed for the women's team, fyi.) was announced, I wasn't sure of it at first, but now I'm obsessed. I love the pretty subtle roses design. I think once I'd seen Lucy Bronze in this shirt, I realised it was actually cute. Side note, I will be getting this in a children's size, the adults sizes are way too expensive!

- NYX Ultimate Edit Eye shadow Palette
I'm on the look out for a new eyeshadow palette, and you can't really go wrong with NYX, all their eyeshadows are so pigmented and very high quality. And their stuff is so reasonably priced as well, can't recommend them enough. This is simple palette but all the shades are so bright and pretty!

- Pretty Little Thing Pink Holographic Rain Mac
I've wanted one of these for ages, the colours are just so shiny and pretty! You can never rely on the British weather, so it's always handy to have a rain mac, too.

- Simple Biodegradable Face Wipes
As someone who has very sensitive skin, Simple products are basically the only skincare products I can use at the moment. Recently I have become a lot more conscious of the environment and how face wipes are actually very damaging to the environment. I'm hoping to test these out as they are made from more sustainable materials.

- Boohoo Holographic Scrunchie
I love pretty scrunchies, and as you can probably tell I'm a sucker for anything holographic.

SkinnyDip London Bag Collection

Hi babes, welcome back to The Fashion Femme. So, pretty much everyone who knows me, knows how much I love the brand SkinnyDip London and their bags. So much so, I've started collecting them and I just keep buying them! They are seriously my babies and the cutest things I own. Here is my collection (so far, there's so many more I want to buy!) and why I love my favourite ones.

- Talk to the palm bag (£15)

This bag was on sale and I thought it would make the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe. The palm tree embroidery on the bag is so delicate and beautiful and I'm a sucker for anything with shimmery iridescent material! 

- Mermaid shell cross body bag (£28)

Mermaids are basically my style icons, I wear a lot of mermaid style outfits comprised of sequins, holographics and crop tops. It's a real statement piece and one of the pieces I get the most complements on. However I sadly can't wear this out any more as the zip inside the bag is broken. Hopefully I will manage to fix it so I can start wearing it again!

- Holo bum bag (£18)

I bought this as a holiday bag right before I went on tour (read all about that in my previous post!) and it's definitely a must have for a holiday or a festival. You can easily store your phone, keys, money and ID without worrying losing or more likely, getting stolen, or more likely, drunkenly dropping them. Plus, it's the most gorgeous material, and your friends aren't gonna lose you!

- Rainbow cross body bag (£32)

If you've read this blog you'll probably know that I am obsessed with rainbows, not only because they are the symbol of lgbt pride, I just love bright colours, the more colours the better! This goes well with so many different outfits because it is multi-coloured.

I can't wait to expand my collection (Maybe have a wishlist post on the way soon?!) Do you collect anything? Do you own anything from skinnydip? Tell me all about it!

Favourite Magical Bags and Accesories

I will admit I'm not big on Accesories, however I think a small few statement pieces really brighten up an outfit and help you to stand out. I thought in this blog post I would share with you my absolute favourite bags and Accesories that look really magical. So here they are....

- SKINNYDIP mermaid backpack

Okay, I'm a little obsessed with SKINNYDIP, as you will soon find out in this post. I couldn't resist this bag such a unique stand out piece that I've had so many compliments on. The colours on it are so pretty and it's the perfect backpack for summer days.

- Zara shoes

I found these shoes in the sale at Zara, they are super cute and smart. I'm really drawn to oxford flat type shoes, they work great for pretty much any occasion; formal wear, nights out, causal days and probably also work well for going to aldi to buy cereal and avocados. (not that I do that every day. okay I do I just said the night out stuff to sound cool..)

- Topshop unicorn necklace

I don't love jewellery that much, but I just thought this necklace was absolutely beautiful. Just so tiny and subtle. I am one of those people that will literally buy anything if you stick a unicorn on it, I will buy it. Even if it's tacky, I still will think it's cute.

- SKINNYDIP rainbow bag

Shockingly, another skinnydip item is featured here! This bag is my go to night out bag, despite the fact that half the time my passport gets all crinkled up and I struggle reaching for my lipgloss, It's still so cute and the bright colours are amazing. Plus it's gay as hell, so what more could you want.

 Special mention goes to my unicorn bag from missguided, and my skinnydip (I know?? can you believe it?? shell bag. You guys are so cute but I couldn't write full paragraphs.

That's it for today, what are your favourite accesories? Any others you have your eye on at the moment? Let me know!
