Wishlist ⎟Craving staple

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great week. Mine has flown by so quickly, I can't even get how sunday is about to be over soon. The weather has been rather poorly so I couldn't take any proper blog picture. Today I went to the movies to see The Little Prince and oh boy, It was so good! I cried, laughed and was absorbed by the story throughout the two hours! I read the book when I was younger and the movie definitely do it justice. Such a strong, beautiful story.

Now, I'm just here watching TV with a glass of wine while online shopping. Currently, I'm craving staple items. I feel like my wardrobe lacks some good staples for fall. My first staple items craving are dresses. I lack some serious dress game. I just have ordered this white victoriana dress - after seeing it on Laura - I just knew I HAD to have it too. It's a bit on the gaudi side but if you tone it down with a little leather jacket, it is really gorgeous. The other dress I really have my eyes on, is this gorgeous midi black & lace piece. How stunning?

Boots wise, I'm craving more and more black booties. I already got one pair from Zara last month, and now I feel like these would fit right in in my wardrobe. Black, classic and with a little edge- the silver buckle or the croc print.

Other items I really need to stock up on are stripped and white t-shirts - because that's all I seem to wear these days -  a black pair of jeans - this one is perfect because it has the girlfriend cut which gives it a more laid-back feeling -and I absolutely need a khaki hat for this fall. Then, in the makeup department I think I'm all set : I just need some more nude lip colors which is what I wear every single day. I have tried the red lips look, but I always come back to my nudes!

Last on the list, is my dream bag. This is the staple of all staples : Chanel double flap bag, caviar leather, medium size with silver hardware - haha I know exactly the one I want. I have started to save money to buy it before my 30th birthday (I have some time ahead). It's my new life goal basically, haha!

5. Victoriana Dress: Topshop (here) // 6. Girlfriend jeans: Topshop (here) // 7. Black dress: Topshop (here)

Floral for fall

The weather got me like : fall fashion mode ON. No but really, I think I have been so over this weather that I can't stop but dreaming about fall. Even though it seems like sunny days have come back where I live, I think my brain just turned off any summer vibe and just want to buy all the fall stuffs. I spend hours online looking for all the new fall collections - and then sh*t happens and I click "confirm order".

I can't even think about buying a bikini or little white crochet beach dress. The excitement of summer has just dropped like a failed soufflé. Onto my early fall wishlist now:

Just a little grey knits (2, 4) - here - , just because it's what you live in during fall.

I already bought this Kimono (1) - here - and it's the perfect day time little piece. You could easily dress it up with a statement necklace or a red lipstick and heels. I have been living in this and my girlfriend jeans (8) - here - 

The fall floral dress (3) - here - . Paired with a leather jacket and little boots... walking in the crisps leaves with a cup of Starbucks. I can't wait!

The black little plaited skirt (5) - here - which is my number 1 winter staple. It always look good with a leather  jacket or an oversize sweater and boots.

Talking about boots (6, 9), here's two of my favorite so far  - here - and - here -

And finally, my dream bag, still to this day is the Phillip Lim Pashli (7) - here - but I am waiting patiently in case they release it with nickel hardware, I'm over my 'gold' obsession so now I only want to wear silver!

I can't be the only one day dreaming about fall fashion already....or I am ? haha

A few summer basics

Hello girls! Summer is just around the corner and here's a few things I have order lately. I have been feeling like wanting to spruce things up in my closet lately. Out with the old stuff, in with the new! I even did a closet sale on saturday and it actually wasn't that bad to get rid of some of my 'old' - last year - favorite items!

 I needed a lot of new basics, so here's what I got so far:

 Ripped jeans - these ones are the Lucas from Topshop, I got them today and they fit so well! They're  a straight leg jeans and they look super laid back. Add a little pair of mules and a lousy top for a perfect evening summer look.

Grey tee - I got this top in white, black & grey. The perfect everyday long sleeve ribbed top.

White blazer - Nothing screams more summer than a white long line blazer. This one is so perfect as it has a bit of a masculine vibe to it but it's still super chic. Perfect to dress up or for a more casual day look. 

Espadrilles - the perfect white pair from Asos. Espadrilles + a good pair of ripped jeans = the perfect summer combo!

 Leather black bag - I needed a new shoulder everyday black bag and I have found this one on the tiptop website. I love the leather material and the two zips on the sides, it gives that extra edgy look. 

Highlighter - You need highlighter all year round but even more during summer. That extra glow is always welcome! One of my favorite lately has been the 'Glow' in Gleam by Topshop. Look at that rose gold packaging! 

Mules - If you haven't already...you need to get yourself a pair of mules! They're my new favorite heels for summer. So easy to walk with and really comfy. It also adds an extra edge to any of your outfit. Love!

Denim shorts - The ultimate summer look. To be paired with a white shirt and some espadrilles. 

These are kind of items you can wear over and over again during summer time, for a comfy day out or just add a pair of mules and you're good to go for drinks at night with your girls. 

You may have noticed that I added a little extra on my wishlist, the Balenciaga wallet. This wallet is the ultimate basic. It's pricey but it's also timeless. To get or not to get?

 4. Denim shorts: Zara (here) // 5. Mules: Nelly (here) // 6. Jeans: Topshop (here)

Wishlist ⎟ Floral for spring? Groundbreaking

This is my blogging walk of shame, yes.... I haven't blog in a month and a half. This is a new record!! I'm going to spare you the usual 'Life has taking over....winter is never-ending' and just let you know that I'm back to blogging more regularly. I have been online shopping A LOT lately and most of the things you can see on this wishlist are already on their way to me, haha! I have been buying every single pair of jeans Topshop has to offer and stocking up in spring sandals and white t-shirts. 

This year I don't feel in the mood to buy pastel or floral skirts - and I usually am a sucker for anything floral. No...this year my heart belongs to anything black, white & denim. I just love to wear a good pair of ribbed jeans with sandals and a white tee. The monochrome look is so effortless and let's be honest very safe as you can't go wrong. No prints, no colors, no risks taken haha!


First thing first...I have a new love affair with the Hayden jeans from Topshop, I'm telling you!  After buying basically every pair of Jamie jeans available, now that spring in here, I just want to wear boyfriend jeans. The Hayden from Topshop is THE perfect boyfriend jeans shape. I'm obsessed!  

After looking for ages for the perfect cream blazer, this white blazer from Zara has been on my mind since I read this post from Monikh (here), I adore it but I'm not sure how I'll be wearing it. I just know I need to get it before it gets out of stock. I feel this might become one of Zara's "must have" item and everybody will try to find it on Ebay by this summer. Go get it while it's still available, haha!

On the shoe department, yes I actually want to wear mules! I find them so feminine, chic and edgy. I'm still not over the fact that I didn't get the gorgeous pair Zara did last summer but I have my eyes on two pairs: one from on the chunkier side from Topshop and the other one, much more delicate from Asos. 

Last on the list, is this biker leather jacket from Zara. My oh my.... I'm considering splurging 200€ on this little gem, yes I AM! - Can we mention how Zara is going crazy with their price range lately too?   -I have tried it on last week and it fits me like a really gorgeous glove. I have been thinking about it since then and I know I will regret it forever If I don't get it before it's gone! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break, this weekend has been so full of naps and food I now feel ready for the week to come. I promise I'll post something else than wishlist and instagram recap very soon, haha!

Wishlist ⎥Monochrome

Hey everyone! Here's a little monochrome wishlist. Black and white is all I seem to wear these days.
I even got called as a waitress in a restaurant this weekend, that's how embarrassing my love for monochrome has gotten haha! I am really excited with the new spring collection, I basically spend an hour every day going online and looking at all the new stuffs. I'm DONE with winter and with wearing massive coats and boots. All I dream about is flats, leather jackets and a tee. No scarves, no gloves. Just bliss.

My hours at work have gotten so crazy that I'll be getting home even later than before. I'll try to post as much as possible...it can't be worst than my posting habit during january anyway haha.

I hope you're all doing good!

Wish list ⎜ Christmas

Hi girls! Happy sunday. I'm really tired from a long week of working and learning how to drive. I'm already mid way through my driving  cursus so by the 11th of December I should be able to drive by myself and this is a rather scary thought haha!

Here's my Christmas wish list. I had to add a little bit of Chanel, a little bit of makeup and a little bit of tech. I don't have any particular need this year except maybe a new phone as mine is getting quite slow. Also, I know that the Lorac Pro palette is not new but I never purchased it back it the days and I suddenly feel the need to have it as I'm getting a little tired of my Naked palettes!

I'm off to practice my driving skills and then I'll be cooking all afternoon long. This how I roll on sundays! Have a nice day :)

Summer wishlist ⎪ Pastel envy

Yesterday was amazing, I had such a great day off. Relaxing, napping, blogging, eating in front of the TV and a lot of window shopping on my favourite fashion websites - Asos, Topshop, Zara and H&M. I have a major pastel envy at the moment, I feel it's super girly and adds a lot of femininity to an outfit. I hope I'll find that baby blue dress at H&M, it will be perfect for a wedding I have to attend in september!  The sunnies are a bit over the top but I can't resist a good old floral. I also am on the hunt for the perfect nude flat shoes for this summer and these topshop ones are gorgeous! 

Time to go back to work after a wonderful three days weekend, not gonna lie it's a bit hard but as long as I get my Starbucks I'll be good :)

Skirt: Topshop // Dress: H&M // Top: Topshop // Sunnies: Asos

 Earrings: Asos // Ballerinas: Topshop

Monday wish list

H&M trench coat  // Asos midi floral skirt (here) // Topshop ripped jeans
Zara bag (here) // New Look nude heels (here)

Hi lovelies! Here's a quick wish list with some gorgeous items I've had my eyes on. I have been shopping my life away recently, giving my wardrobe a fresh makeover. From skirts, to basics, to jackets, shoes and of course bag, I feel like I needed to get some new things as my style has changed a lot from student at uni to working girl - sounds very mature writing this haha.

I do still like wearing over the top skirts when I prefer the longer length now, it's much more work appropriate and it's so elegant too. I feel so ridiculous wearing mini skirt, like a little teenager which I'm clearly not anymore! I'm obsessed with that Zara messenger bag, it's such a good running errands bag when you don't need to carry a lot of things with you.

The nude heels from New Look are to die for, totally work appropriate yet no kitten heels and still wearable for a night out after work! Score! I find them so hard to find though, they're sold out everywhere.

The next item is that trench coat from H&M. I actually already got it but I had to put it on my wish list to show you guys how pretty it is! It's a very soft material so it doesn't look too 'police officer' and it's very light weight as well which is perfect for summer nights. I also have my eyes on some ripped pairs of jeans from Topshop and Zara. They're not very work appropriate but I'm just obsessed with anything ripped, it gives such a cool laid back vibe to any outfit!

I'll try to film so of my outfits this week to make a weekly lookbook 

of what I wear to go to work or to go out. 

Have a lovely monday until then!

Wish list ⎥ Put your party hat on!

Hi girls! I have a little party outfit wish list for you today. Summer is just around the corner and so are summer parties! I know that in the UK girls go clubbing in those summer outfits all year round but personally I just can't go out in the freezing winter with a tiny dress. That's why I love summer, you can look good without the shaking legs from freezing! I'm pretty much hibernating all winter long from clubbing and partying then as soon as the weather gets better I'm all over buying dresses to party!

 There's nothing like a good night out with your girlfriends, although I used to be a big party club girl I have now settled a little bit but I still love going out and dress up. I just love how over the top you can dress, bring on the lashes the heels and the sexy dress! For a perfect night out I would wear this gorgeous co-ord from H&M. How edgy is that trend by the way? I just love it, it's super sophisticated. I love the length of the skirt it balances well with the crop top tummy showing! With that co-ord ensemble I would wear some super edgy shoes like those Asos transparent heels. As a clutch, I would dare the blinged one from Zara although it could be a little too matchy-matchy for daytime, for night time it's just so cool in my opinion! 

Makeup wise, I would definitely get my voluminous false lashes on - my favourite ones are the Katy Perry for Eylure in Oh Honey!  - and also a little bit of glow is super important to look good in the pictures the morning after hence the Topshop glow stick. As a lipstick, I would go crazy bright with those topshop lip cream & cream bullet. Nothing screams more party time than bright pink lips in my opinion. It's sexy and feminine, definitely up my alley!

I can wait for summer to arrive to get my party hat on!

The travel outfit

1. Monki Cardigan (here) / 2. Topshop sunnies (here) / 3. H&M blinged sandals (here)

4. Zara black shopper (here) / 5. Topshop white tee (here) / 6. Topshop boyfriend jeans (here)

Hello girlies! Here's a quick inspiration for a future travel outfit I will be wearing very soon, I'm still waiting for my orders to arrive haha. I'm so excited to be heading to Madrid in May for a few days. I really need some days off, visiting a city, eating great food and shopping my life away. I love city trips, they're my favourite kinda trips. I do love a good old vacation on the beach, don't get me wrong, but it's so exciting to visit a new city. I'm half spanish so I'm even more excited to going back to my 'roots' and eat some delicious tapas and gambas a la plancha. I'm not gonna lie, the fact that Zara is much cheaper in Spain is also a huge part of my excitement haha. 

That black shopper from Zara is the most gorgeous bag, not only for travel but also for a daily basis. It's quite roomy so you can fit all your life in it. Nothing can beat a good long cosy cardigan with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a white t-shirt. It's such a comfortable and effortless look to travel in style while not looking overdone or anything. To add a little glamorous touch, I'll wear that pair of blinged crossover sandals by H&M. They look so pretty, I already have the black version but these are to die for. I hope I'll find them in store in time. To finish the look, I will be wearing some sunnies of course as I won't be wearing any makeup - except the BB cream, the lipgloss and the concealer of course. 

Have a lovely day,

XO,MARILOU
