Dior CD3222 Glasses

Why? Now these are a pair of glasses. I have both astigmatism and myopia, and so can't really see further than 2m in front of my face any more. Whilst everyday life and up close work isn't too much trouble, reading a blackboard, driving and... you know... seeing far away is a nightmare. These glasses are glued to my face at the minute - I love them. Weighty and yet feminine, I like the chunky frame as it is on trend, without looking like a try-hard hipster. My look of the minute involved a high, bushy ponytail and these frames, peeking out from under my fringe. Lush, lush, lush!

Valentino VAL 5776 Glasses

Why? Because I'm blind. These are my spare pair. I like them, but no where near as much as the Dior pair. They're comfy to wear and I like the shape of the frame, but can't help feel as though the plastic frame feels and looks a little cheap.

Topshop Merrily Open Lace Up Shoes in Orange

Why? I liked them. I've not actually tried them on yet. I hope they fit.

Topshop Mint Ballet Pumps

Why? They were on sale. 

Topshop Nude Ballet Pumps

Why? My usual pair needed replacing. So I replaced them.

Next Mesh Suit Dress

Why? Because I am a grown up, and this is what grown ups wear. Though mine is navy blue.

Next Black Leather Pointed Court Show

Why? I didn't have a court show, and I've got business functions coming up. Also, these are New Look shoes. Mine are the same, but I couldn't find an image. Sodding Next website.

Topshop Fur Shawl Biker Jacket

Why? Awesome black jacket for autumn wear? Mission accomplished. Oh. My. Goodness. I love this jacket. The fur is so soft and the leather such good quality. What's more, it was a present from someone I love very much. I am now rocking Chewbacca-chic. I'm so excited. I'll stop now.

Topshop Spike Necklace

Why? I liked it. Simple. As. That.

Zara Trafaluc Skirt

This is the only item this year that I have bought and not be able to find an online photo of! Skirt is a white printed pencil skirt in a stretchy/jersey fabric.

Why? Because I love the print. Tie dye and space print are two of my absolute fave things to buy at the minute, and the blue/purple colour scheme fits in so well with my wardrobe. I always need more space print.

Lush Emotional Brilliance in Fantasy

Why? Even though this new range of make up at Lush is extortionate (!!!), this shade is really vibrant, fun and sparkly - once I'd tried Fantasy at the launch party, there was no way I was leaving empty handed.

Topshop Oversized Floral Shirt

Why? I cannot communicate how much I love this shirt. It's so me! Floral but dark, so not to be too girly; a beautiful sheer fabric that is both ethereal and sexy and the dip hem for a gorge silhouette!  LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE.

Topshop Knitted Necklace Jumper

Why? Because I'm like a magpie. The necklace collar is beautiful and this picture does not do it justice. It's just so... sparkly!

Topshop Open Shoulder Asymmetric Tunic

Why? I loved the cool shape of these tops when I first saw them a couple of weeks ago. Was highly tempted by the black but chose the green version instead, to brighten up my wardrobe - love how cute the shoulder cut out is!

Topshop Horse Tank Top

Why? Love this print!

Topshop MOTO Black Supersoft Skinny Leigh Jeans

Why? Because I've lost weight and my old black jeans are too big now! #Skinnybitch

Topshop Basic Neppy Tee

Why? I like the distressed fabric. Simple. As. That.

Topshop Burnout Low Armhole Vest

Why? Needed a black vest for layering purposes - also have many printed skirts that this will work with.

ASOS APPLE Ankle Boots with Mid Heel and Buckle

Why? I am a big fan of a slight daytime heel, and as I have a lovely pair of brown wedge boots to match my brown handbag, I sought a black boot to go with my black bag. These are cute and quite comfy too - I especially like them with tights.

House of Harlow 1960 14ct Gold Plated Large Horseshoe Necklace

Why? Expensive jewellery is a luxury I afford myself - my Vivienne Westwood Pearl Orb bracelet is still  the favourite item I own. Having loved Nicole Richie and her House of Harlow 1960 jewellery for years, I am very pleased to add this statement piece to my collection. Think open-toed sandals, biker jackets, flowing skirts and multiple rings - my essential look.
