What's in my shopping basket? Wishlist

Hey my lovelies
So was just doing a spot of browsing/shopping online for "Others..my other half siblings etc" and mid shopping I just realised I never did a "What's in my basket" for this month. It also dawned on me, that I have the most expensive taste, actually I lie, I've always had expensive taste, just not a big enough bank account...
So I was trigger happy with the add/buy button on all websites...(actually the majority are below)...its so much fun pretending you're loaded and adding the most ridiculously expensive clothes/shoes/jewellery into a basket. (I went a bit easy with this post as I don't think anyone could afford something in their €1000's..well me anyway)..in fact the quote below sums it up nicely..my better half throws confused looks across my way when I erupt in laughter at spontaneous moments..I think he thinks I'm gone mad..he'd definitely think it, if he saw the total price totted up in my online shopping basket!
So on that note lets get started...(excited tone) this is so much fun! I love doing this type of post...
As you know I have a serious Girl crush on the lady above..Love the makeup range she did for Ciate, very classy packaging and gorgeous colours, I definitely have this in my basket & on my wishlist..think I'll be placing these images around the house for the next few weeks for Hubbie..poor man he's broke already..hair's gone grey from me haha! Top left; The Smoldering Eye palette €39 in Arnotts or available online here, The cheekbone cheat bronzer blusher duo in Seaside Park €28, Lipstick Satin Kiss Velveteen, €22, Smokey Suedes eye palette €39 again all these products are available in Arnotts or Stockist details here, and online here
I'm a magpie seriously love all things sparkly, even my wedding dress had sparkle in it, I remember asking my mother when I tried it on did I look like a Christmas tree haha!! So here's my current favourite sparkly bits Top left: Dress in Vanilla Boutique (025 33000) and they have a wine version too..also available in Bow and Pearl (01) 4967408 €165,  adore this virgos Lounge dress €165. Its called Veronika and Rubyrouge.ie have this in black and a number of Irish Boutiques or buy it online here.  Embroidered Shoes Zara €69.99 available in stores and here. Adore these Miss KG heels, my sister Jill has them and they are amazing €90 available in Debenhams here.
Can never resist Jewellery particularly Michael Kors.I used to own a piece a long time ago but I had the misfortune of breaking my lovely Michael Kors Bracelet and watching the balls scatter all across Dunnes Stores floor! Wasn't pretty, having said that it was an elastic flimsy type band with balls on it and the MK disc(expensive mind!) so maybe avoid that type of bracelet as the elastic wears very easily! But these ones are definitely on my list Top left to Right MK Rose Gold earrings €69, Michael Kors Tortoise Shell Belt Bracelet €119, MK belt bracelet €99, MK Crystal Bangle €149, MK Cubic Zirconia Padlock Bracelet €129, Silver Diamonte Earrings €69, and MK Disc Chain €99. You'll find them all from Fields here
Ah Zara, every month they kill my bank account, love everything from this place..so reasonable too, although as you add to your basket its amazing how quickly the total becomes hundreds! I always want everything! So here's what's in my basket at the moment, Left to Right: Grey Flouncy Skirt  €49.99 available here, Sleeveless Fur Waistcoat €99.95 available here, Sequin Skirt €39.95 available here, Bottom Left to Right: Grey sweater with black embroider €29.95 available here, Cut Work High Hell ankle boots €49.95 available here, and finally always have my eye on this Leather skirt with lace top €49.95 available here.
River Island is always a good one too and my current favourites are these above. From left to right Pink Jersey Jacket €87, its flying out the door but some available in store and online here, Love this skater dress too, Its navy €50 and available here. Bottom Left; I tried these Over the Knee boots on and they are to die for ..Loved them €95 here. Love all the collars in River Island, they are super handy and avoid bulkiness of shirts under jumpers, this tie one I love, €17 find it here.  And finally another bit of sparkle This top is €55 and available here.
I love Topshop, there's always great pieces available, My favourite at the moment is this dress |Top left, I don't know where id wear it but it is fab, pricey at €220 find it here, next to it is an embroidered dress, gorge too, pricey at €170 but it is a wishlist after all, find it here, Love this "two in one" velvet playsuit find it instore and online here.

Couldn't leave my favourite boutique out ...From top to right; absolutely lusting after this coat..I have enough coats but this one sure is unique. Love the feathered embellishment, see top pics.. Its €129 and available here, centre pic is some belts available from Folkster, love these as they would dress up any plain dress or skirt always a handy one to have in the wardrobe, these are bridal but don't think it matters ranging from €29-€49 plus.

A Brown Thomas splurge has to be done...It is a wishlist after all..now there was plenty of dresses I would only love from here mainly in their thousands but I will never have the cash to spend that kind of money on a dress...so although its a splurge list above, its not too bad really considering what I could buy haha! Top left to right Three Floor Dress €275 (love these dresses, live in the one I have ..size up girls as the sizing is small) buy it here, Centre dress is amazing love halterneck's and this is so me, price is €340 and you can buy it here. Next dress is by another fab brand AQ AQ, this little red number is €270 and available here. Bottom left: This brand is called Sumcoo and for Brown Thomas is seems to be a little more affordable, this skirt is €110 and available here, Oh the bag of dreams apart from Chanel!! Love Kate Spade bags this one is €335 and available here Not a great pic but this Marc Jacobs watch is divine, for €249 you can buy it here.

Yes I have expensive taste, my biggest downfall, but its nice to pretend Ive lots of money and spend hours of fun and pure entertainment adding ridiculously expensive items to my basket
And after all that adding to shopping baskets ..Ill be doing a lot of this next week!!!
Have a great weekend guys

Christmas day looks

So when I posted the last few blogs on Christmas party looks, I got a lot of requests to do a Christmas day look...so I said "Why not!".
I,for one, get completely overdressed on Christmas day...that's only because it was always tradition during my childhood we got really dressy new clothes religiously every year for Christmas day!! I'm sure it was the same for all of you, along with having good Sunday clothes which under no circumstances were allowed to be worn mid week! (haha how Irish of us!)
(Pic Source; Unknown)
So I have pulled together some looks that I would possibly wear on Christmas day...I've always gone for dresses that you can wear a pair of opaque tights with ..for fear it could snow....now when in gods name in the last decade has it snowed on Christmas day?? delusional I am!!...but you never know right? So here it goes ladies, let me know what you guys wear on Christmas day..I know some of my friends have PJ days which is just as nice...as all we'll be doing is eating eating and drinking..well in my case anyway!
I adore this dress, this pic does not do it justice. Definitely check it out online and that coat..white coats are just perfect at this time of the year (lets not think about how we're going to keep them clean as practicality literally flies out the window during silly season..)
Dress Lipsy.co.uk €78, available here, Zara Black courts €49.95 available in store and here, Topshop belted Wool Blend Coat €125 available here.
