Rachel Comey Giveaway entry for Solestruck

So here's my entry which I sent to Solestruck.

I'm not going to lie, it took me about an hour or so to get it to this. I was initially planning to do a grunge-ish version of the Alexa Chung-inspired outfit I wore to one of my friends' birthday parties around the Rachel Comey shoe in the bottom left corner, but couldn't find the perfect white skater dress, so I ended up with this.

Hot Chip's I Feel Better
Black High Waisted Shorts by River Island
Hail Sweatshirt by Unif 
Super Sheer Over-the-Knee Sock by American Apparel
Jeremy Scott x Linda Farrow Mickey Mouse sunglasses
Styletto Opaque Black lipstick by Limecrime
NYX in Black Crust by Rachel Comey
Alexa in Black Soft Buffalo (Oversized) by Mulberry 

I didn't read that it was for Fall/Autumn, so I kind of brushed it off and convinced myself that people still wear sweatshirts in Fall. I know I would wear sweatshirts in Fall, if I owned some.

Here's a fun fact: I want this whole outfit in my closet, because I actually like it, and I'd probably wear it.

Fingers crossed I win and if you want to enter, here's the link. If you enter, good luck to you! As said on the blog post, it ends on the 10th of December and is open globally, so yay!
The prize is a pair of Rachel Comey shoes that are on Solestruck and a pair of Rachel Comey slip on socks and ten random entries get a pair of Rachel Comey slip on socks.

Until next time!

Christmas/Birthday/Forever Wishlist

As Christmas is coming up, I reckon it's a perfect time to get my core wishlist out in the world.

It's not exactly because it's Christmas time and I'll get these gifts (I get gifts but not like these because they're not from direct family aka mainly because we don't celebrate Christmas because Muslim) but because sales. 

As I said before, it's not like I'm going to get these gifts at Christmas, but maybe for my birthday or maybe the next time some these things aren't out of my budget.

So I'll cut to the chase. 



Here is my wishlist - 

 

American Apparel. According to most of the reviews I read on the American Apparel site, these jeans are apparently worth it. I didn't get to try them at the Oxford St store last time I went, mainly because it didn't hit me that American Apparel sells apparently great jeans. My pairs of jeans are disgustingly flimsy on my knees and calves and fit pretty well on my thigh. Hopefully I'll try these on soon and find a cheaper place (ahem ASOS) to buy them from... when I get money.

American Apparel. It's just a really pretty bag that looks conventional and made for someone like me. It's unfortunate that on either side, though, that Sydney's not featured on the white or black variations of the bag.

Lomography Australia. I have the Fisheye 1 and it's great. As it's summer and I'm forcing my friends to bring me to the beach with them, an underwater case for my beautiful camera would be perfection.

Unif. I've wanted this, or the tank top variation of this for an extremely long time. Probably for the reason that this is like the only thing, other than their shoes, that I can buy from Unif. Whatever. This is a beautiful sweatshirt.

Unif. If I go on a holiday and I own these shoes, these will be on my feet when I get on the plane and when I go through the airport and everything. Trust me.

Urban Outfitters. When I go to admire these shoes, they're normally on Karmaloop but they're kind of out of stock, so Urban Outfitters it is. I don't know. There's just something cool about these shoes that makes me really want them.

  

Black Milk Clothing. I've been a fan of this brand for a long time and ever since I saw this on This Is Why I'm Broke, I've kind of needed these. Slightly expensive, but it looks really pretty ugh.

 

Nikki Lipstick. Nikki is an absolute darling and her brand is kick-ass. When I went to her site for the first time, I was drawn to this sweater. How adorable is it? Extremely.

 

ASOS. I bought a pair of Doc Martens a few weeks ago but they were low cut and patent. My mum wants me to get a pair of these for when I wear dresses and to look like a "happier version of Daria". Thanks mum.

 

Lush Cosmetics. I love Lush and was so excited when they released FUN. I actually don't mind which colour I try, but this one catches my eye. The smell seems really great. Next time I walk into Lush, I'll pick one of these rolls up for sure.
 


So there's my wishlist... so far.

I have to jet because my dad's telling me to finish watching Red Lights (YAY CILLIAN MURPHY) with him. Hopefully if I remember what's going on in the next few days, I'll write a review.

Shall be back soon!
