eBay Wishlist - Autumn

I've been a bit of an eBay addict for as long as I can remember. I've bought just about everything on there, from vintage dresses to a 50's china cat ornament (yes really) 90's nostalgic toys to the occasional designer item. There's just something about the vast selection of treasures that people from all over the world are selling that really excites me! I do love to bid on the odd gem every now and again, but you'll usually find me browsing through the 'Buy it Now' items as I know I can't loose them to someone else!

It's also one of my favourite places to find fast fashion. If there's a certain trend or celebrity style that I want to re-create, I always head on over to eBay, as so many of the sellers have designer inspired pieces for a fraction of the price, and often sooner than the high street catches on.

As we're quickly creeping into Autumn/Winter, I thought it would be fun to create a wish list of pieces that I'll definitely be putting in my basket! I think my favourite item has to be this tartan scarf. it looks so cosy and warm, perfect for styling up a simple outfit to make it look more interesting. It would also look stunning with this denim pinafore dress which is originally from Topshop. I'm loving denim dresses at the moment, especially teamed with a big, chunky, cream knit jumper underneath or over the top.

I wore my chelsea boots out last year so I really need to get a few more pairs. I'll definitely be repurchasing a black pair but this tan pair are calling my name! I can see me wearing them with this tan sleeveless jacket, I really love these and want one in each colour!

And of course, my wish list just wouldn't be complete with out some berry toned accessories. I'm loving hats at the moment, but I don't have one in this colour so this wide brimmed, floppy hat would be the perfect addition to my collection! As well as this beautiful designer inspired bag which would be big enough to fit all of the endless amounts of 'stuff' I have to lug around with me. And finally a pop of Barry M's Burgundy Crush Nail Polish to finish off the look.

I love the fact that all of these pieces can be worn together, or mixed with other items in your wardrobe to create lots of different looks. Let me know which are your favourite pieces and what the best thing you've ever bought from eBay is?

London's Calling

Top - Primark | Jeans - Miss Selfridge | Jacket - Primark | Bag - Mulberry | Hat - H&M | Shoes - Primark

Last week, Rikki and I headed into London to go and see where he's going to be working. He recently started a new job in the city and we thought it would be a good idea to have a practise of his new route to work! As you may know London is where I feel most at home (apart from actually at home of course!) It's my favourite city and as soon a I step out of the train station I instantly feel happy, calm and alive all at the same time. I can't say Rikki has always shared my admiration for the city, but the longer we've been together, the more he's grown to love it too, and now i'm slightly jealous that he's going to be there everyday.

We had a little wonder around St Paul's Cathedral, and I thought i'd take the opportunity to snap some outfit photos as it feels like I haven't done this in so long and you know what? I really loved it and forgot how much i'd missed it! I think being pregnant for the majority of last year, and having a new baby this year really knocked my confidence and made me feel like I couldn't do look book and outfit posts anymore. But now Archie's turned one, I'm starting to feel more like myself and loving fashion and styling up outfits again. The comments on my latest look book - Autumn Wonders also gave me a huge boost which I'm massively grateful for.

I've tucked this simple ribbed vest top (mentioned in my Latest Primark Haul here) into a pair on Miss Selfridge, high waisted Steffi jeans which I really love as they're very figure hugging but also very comfortable as well. It's a pretty simple outfit but I feel that with the addition of the beige tasseled jacket (a bargain from Primark too) and the H&M hat, it takes on more of a 70's vibe which I hated at first but now I can't get enough of! I also teamed it with some of my wardrobe staples. These gorgeous tan open toed shoes from Primark which are rarely off my feet these days, and my beloved Mulberry Del Ray Bag which goes everywhere with me.

Let me know if you'd like to see more outfit posts on my blog and what your currently favourite pieces are!
