Spring 2011 Wishlist

Okay so there's a few trendsthis spring that I've seen everywhere; on te catwalk, in shops, on people. Here is my Wishlist for the next few months:

- OPI San Tan Tonio
- Nude Brogues
- Black Espadrilles
- L'oreal Studio Secrets Primer
- John Frieda 3 Day Straight
- L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Waterproof Mascara
- Jane Norman Sheer Sleeveless Blouse
- Topshop Camel Sleeveless Shirt
- H&M Black (American Apparel Inspired) Skirt
- Miss Selfridge Petites Camel Peg Leg Trouser

As you can see I'm really into the camel/tan/burgundy trend, epsecially camel. I think it suits everyone, and can be worn in a way to look casual or classy.
Espadrilles are EVRYWHERE. The specific photo of these ones are from New Look, and retail at £6.99, but you can find them in High Street shops from £3 - £13.
 Okay, so I've been on the hunt for a new mascara recently, specifically: waterproof. I tried out the original  L'oreal Volume Million Lashes at a mates house once and I LOVED it, so I think this  waterproof mascara will be pretty good.
Staying with L'oreal, I tried out a sample of their Studio Secrets Primer in a magazine a few months ago, and I loved the finish it left on my skin - incredibly soft, keeping my makeup on for a long time. And considering you only need a tiny bit every time you use it, the price of £11 is quite reasonable.
Now onto one of John Frieda's latest products: 3 Day Straight. I have reasonably straight hair, and I don't often straighten it (due to the fact I dislike my straighteners.) If I blowdry it straight after a wash it will generally look decent for a day or so, but the next day I have to start over and create a new school-suitable hairstyle for the day. I LOVE the idea of this product, meaning that you won't struggle to put your hair uniquely the next day, and it will stay frizz-free. After reading many reviews on blogs and watching a few videos on it on youtube, it seems as if it does exactly what the label says as well.
Now onto the sleeveless shirts, the Jane Norman sheer blouse is gorgeous; I tried it on yesterday when I went shopping. It fits really well as well. The Topshop one is in the on-trend camel colour, and the cut is really smart yet feminine and flattering. I tthink it could go well paired with denim shorts, jeans, skirts, everything - one thing I love about it.
Now onto the £7 H&M American-Apparel Inspired skirt - I love it. The American Apparel version is probably sturdier, and has pockets, but the £25 price tag is offputting - I'll happily settle for the £7 H&M knock-off.
Lastly are a pair of trousers mentioned in yesterday's post - Petites: Topshop & Miss Selfridge. This fabulous pair are retailed for £38, wayyyyy to expensive for me but gorgeous nonetheless. Those size 4 beauties will just stay in the shop.....screaming my name evry time I pass them.

That's all for now, I hope you enjoyed reading this post!
