I think wishlists are a really cute feature but I want to clear something up before I write one - this list is what I like at the moment, but a 'What I like list' doesn't sound all that great.  I'm hoping to make this a regular post so please let me know if you like it! 

  1. A Claireabella Jute Bag - I know they are only simple but every time I see someone with a Claireabella bag I feel a pang of jealousy and want one myself.  Such a handy bag for the summer in so many ways, you can take it on a plane as hand luggage, take it to the beach, the pool, everywhere! While I was looking at the bags I also noticed they do phonecases which are absolutely amazing, I may have to invest in one/both after my birthday...
  2. Yellow Lemon Print Topshop Bikini - My aim for this year is to finally get a high waisted bikini and despite the (a little extortionate) £34 price tag I absolutely adore this one.  I'm thinking I'll find a cheaper alternative this year to test run when I go to Barcelona and see if I like it, then perhaps invest in another if it serves me well!
  3. Cat Eye Sunglasses - SO MUCH.  I literally adore cat eye sunglasses, and if someone could point me in the direction of some reasonably priced ones I will ever be in your debt, I have found some but I am never sure if they are up to much, help please!
  4. Essie Nail Polish - Just all of them, must I pick a favourite?  Blues and pinky/coraly colours are my favourite at the moment.  Also from Essie, I would love to try some of the strength and growth treatment polishes as the moment I apply fake nails, mine are not the same for weeks, so I am stuck in a loop of putting falsies on because I want them longer and not wanting to because they are short! Not good.
  5. Summer Shoes - Kinda gross, slightly over sharing, I only have nine toenails, I had an unfortunate few years with an ingrowing toenail, we will resist going into detail, what I am trying to say is that I do not particualrly like wearing open toed shoes because of the lack of nail situation, meaning I am struggling to find shoes.  Despite my open hatred of creepers I absolutely adore flatforms and am tempted to get closed toe flatforms from Boohoo, although I may settle for another pair of trainers.  Who knows.  


So, since Call Me, Maybe hit the airwaves (with a little help from a certain spoof video by Jelena, Ashley Tisdale and co) Carly Rae Jepsen has been flung into the spotlight quicker than you can say "is that really her only song?" and oh yes, she's done it in style.
I wrote about Jepsen previously here when she attended the Teen Choice Awards, she looked a m a zing!  I thought the time had definately come where she deserved a post of her own.  She's got a face to rival a porcelain doll, the voice of a pop star and the personality of any girl next door.  Jepsen is like the Disney star that never made it past the callback.

STEAL THIS
This is one my favourite looks by Jepsen, and it's a high street one! This gorgeous dress from Topshop (it's on sale - hurry!) looks really lovely on her, and now you've got the link, what are waiting for?!
COPY THIS
Really simple look here from Jepsen, worn while she films her next music video in Manhattan.  Incredibly easy to copy, too.
These shorts from Etsy (post to come on Etsy)
This shirt from River Island.  To complete the look a trip to Primark will find you a belt, vest and plenty of jewellery on a purse friendly budget.













WANT THIS
Now, I don't know about you, but I love Co-Ords.  Topshop have some stunning ones in at the moment, especially those from guest designer Ashish (who provided a lot of my inspiration in GCSE textiles).  This is of course, Carly Rae Jepsen at the Teen Choice awards.












Have we decided that Carly Rae Jepsen is one stylish lady?  We have.

Thank you!
