Weekly Wishlist #3

Weekly Wishlist #3 by raalx featuring outdoor wall decor

On this segment of Weekly Wishlist I included 13 items (and tidied it up). The first on my list is a beautiful red poppy on white swing dress, its perfect for spring/summer and match's perfectly with number 2's Cleat Sole platform heel boots in black. Together the outfit is sweet and edgy, a hot combo this year. 3, is a Etro Printed Silk crepe maxi skirt, and I have fallen in love. This year I have really been interested in traveling to India,Bali, that general area and because of that I have started to adore bohemian and very loose intricate designs. 4,is the Lorac pro palette,I was interested in getting the Naked palette until I saw this one and fell in love. 5, a black Skagen Denmark Wristwatch is something I've been eyeing for a while and just rediscovered while I was browsing the webs. 6, another bohemian inspired, Subtle Luxury Native Tie Dye Scarf is perfect for a plain white shirt and dark jeans outfit or you can go bold and wear it with a bright orange/yellow or red Blouse and skirt/jeans. My seventh wishlist item is Stella McCartney Retro Sunglasses that pair well with any outfit.Number 8 is a boohoo grace V crop top in a bright orange, its so pretty and pairs well with 9's dark blue mango skinny jeans. 10 is a pair of cute wedge sandals by soda. Eleventh is a piura lazer cut saddle bag, it's pretty floral cut design and light brown color makes this purse pair well with most anything on this list. Number 12 is a Saint Laurent lapin felt wide brim hat in black, it is outrageously expensive, but you can find many cheaper alternatives on many sites. Wide brim hats are a must for summer. And last on my list, little ole number 13, is a Rosaleza monochrome cropped scuba blazer, though it has a fall feel, you could easily pair it with summery tops and dresses and your outfit be complete. What do you think? Are these as desirable to you as I? I'd love to hear you opinions in the comments below as well as what you're looking forward to seeing posted next!

Healthy Easy-to Make Beverages

It's summer now over in my side of the pond and the heat is rising each day. With temperatures reaching as high as 90's and the sunburn and exhaustion of the day already on top of your stress meter, what better way to cool off with a nice cold smoothie/milkshake? I've put together a list of my favorite cold beverages to make on a normal day, their Delicious, and better yet Healthy and Organic! From Banana Smoothie to Mango Smoothie I have fruits from the whole spectrum of colors and flavors, and at least one of them surely will satisfy your taste buds. For today's post I will be introducing you to some tasty, and easily made smoothies:

What to put in your purse

So you've got the cutest purse and you're all ready to wear it out with an equally to-die-for outfit, but you have no idea what to put inside it? Well, above I have put together a list of items you should most definitely have in your purse and a few extra items for fun! Everyone should have a wallet for their money, you don't want your money floating in your huge purse trying to dig around when your just about to pay. Pens are also a must just in case you have to quickly jot a note down or a number ;) Always pack your phone, but that's a no brainer right? Lotion is a great thing to have if your arms and legs need a bit of nourishment. Extra earrings and a small makeup compact are good for dressing up an outfit if you need to go somewhere a bit fancier. A notebook is optional, but I really like writing when im bored and its great for writing things you need to remember. There are plenty more things you could include in your purse, but I wanted to bring it down to the essentials. I hoped you take this and use it, here's to having a great day!

Summer 2014

In the spirit of summer, I have compiled must have styles and and colors for this bright season.I looked all over the internet for cute and low priced clothing, and these where some of my top internet finds!

Summer Lip: Fuchsia, Matte Red, and Indie Orange Red

Where to shop these lip colors: nyx indie flick, nyx eden, Stila Betsey

Summer Nails: Purple, Cola Red

Where to shop these nail colors: Molly Coddled , Come to bed red

 What's Summer without the incredibly stylish clothing? That's why I've compiled a list of dresses, tops, skirts, and bathing suits for you. If you can't buy it from one of these sites, I always say get the next best thing! Whenever my teen vogue mag comes in the mail I quickly flip through to all the clothing and decide what I love and whether I will be able to afford it. More often than not they are uber expensive, so instead I take the color's and style's and scour the internet for look a-likes. 

These super cute crop top's are from SirenLondon and their price is 27.70 USD

Bonus: Yellow is in for summer, and so are all the other colors they offer these in!

Whats not to love about this pair of High waisted mile high denim shorts?

Denim Is always in for summer and it just so happens high waisted is in as well ( like it has been this whole year and last) You can pick dark or light blue denim as well to match . Tip: You can pair this well with the yellow crop top listed above.

This smart mauve dress is adorable for summer, pair it with a floppy hat, a cute bucket bag, huge glasses, and maybe some wedges and you have the perfect look!






Recognize this swimsuit? If you don't it's time to jump onto the fan boat. These Swimsuits by triangl are at the top of the the trending list, they are all over tumblr, instagram, everywhere! Don't just buy one because they are popular, they are unique and absolutely stylish in all the colors and styles they come in. They are made out of neoprene the fabric found in wet suits and need a little extra attention but they are high quality! Prices average around 70-90 USD Which is a bit high but you get so much bang for your buck!



This Look Out Play-suit is adorable and perfect for this summer 2014 season it goes with so many things, and you are bound to get compliments wearing this!

And that concludes the Summer 2014 Trend post. Wow, aren't all these pieces adorable ? Tell me what you think in the comments below and request what you want to see next! All this clothing i found is from SirenLondon , these are all my personal opinions and not a promotion! Ulta is a great site for finding all the makeup, skincare and hair products you need!
