Fall 2014 Wishlist: H&M

Hello Everyone! Today I thought I would write a post on what I am currently lusting after at H&M this season. As fall is rolling in, and as I am realizing that quite a bit of my clothes no longer fit as I have lost some weight over the past year, I have been spending a lot of time at the mall trying to re-stock my wardrobe. I have already done quite a bit of shopping and hope to post a few hauls soon (I get home too late to have natural sunlight for photos, so I'm waiting on a good photo taking day), but for now, here is what I am lusting after from H&M!

1. H&M Black Combat Boots $39.95; 2. H&M Hooded Sweater in Black $24.95; 3. H&M Plaid Cotton Shirt $29.95; 4. H&M Long Sleeve Jersey Top $14.95.

 

 

1. Since fall of last year, I have been trying to find the perfect pair of combat boots that if purchased, wouldn't drain my bank account. And I believe I have found just that. When I went into H&M a couple weeks back, I instantly fell in love with this pair, and when I looked at the price tag, I fell even more in love. Combat boots are the perfect fall boot, and will keep my feet and ankles warm in the cool Canadian fall air, and will last me into the beginning of winter, before the 4-5 foot snow banks arrive. They are trendy, can go with about any outfit, and the price tag is perfect for those of us who can't afford a pair of Doc Martens.

 

2. This is a pretty basic and rather boring item, but I need a simple black hoodie. There are so many times when I put on an outfit and wish I had a black hoodie to throw over top. Immediately I wish I could run to American Apparel and grab all of their unisex hoodies off the shelf, but that would only result in an empty bank account. These look almost identical to the AA ones, but the price tag is much more reasonable. I am specifically lusting over a black one, but will probably grab a few in other colours as well while I'm there.

 

3. Plaid shirts are all the rave right now for fall, and when I saw this in store, I fell in love. It feels absolutely cozy as can be, and I love the colour. It would be perfect to throw on over a plain white tee with a pair of American Eagle sky high jeggings (this pair that I own would look perfect in this ensemble) or to tie around my waist. I don't own very much plaid, and don't wear it very often, but I am totally in love with this shirt.

 

4. As much as I love sweaters, sometimes I get bored of wearing the same sweaters over and over during the fall & winter, and in Canada, you won't catch me dead in fall or winter in just a tee shirt. Therefore, I have been looking for the perfect loose long sleeve tee, and have had my eyes set on these basic long sleeve jersey shirts. I could pair these with a simple necklace and a pair of light wash skinnies or boyfriend jeans for a casual, everyday look, or pair them with a pair of leather leggings and a statement necklace for a night out.

 

Well, that's all for what I'm currently lusting after at H&M and let me know if you would like me to do more fashion/style related posts, as I haven't delved into that area much as of yet, and love shopping as much as the next girl!

 

Hoping you are all having a fabulous day, and let me know in the comments what you're currently lusting after for fall!

Wish list and Products I'm Excited to Try!

Hello, today I thought I would post a few items that are on my wish list, and also a couple products I have picked up recently that I'm super excited to try. So! On to the good stuff.

First on my wish list is Mac lipstick. Being a university student for the past 4 1/2 years, I haven't had much money as I barely made enough to keep a roof over my head. But I always walked up to Mac counter every time I was in the mall drooling all over their lipsticks. I'd preferably like to try a few of the matte shade, as I prefer a matte lip, probably in a neutral/pinky toned lipstick like the photo and a deep red.

Next is this Nars Larger Than Life lip gloss in Flamingo Pink. Every time I walk into Sephora I always apply some, and it's such a nice gloss and the colour is perfect.

I also tried this on in Sephora and it felt amazing and weightless on my skin. I will definitely have to try it.

And last on my wish list is a Chanel Classic Flap Bag. This will probably be on my wish list until I'm in my fifties. Honest to God I would give two kidneys to own this bag. Chanel makes the prettiest handbags in my honest opinion. I would probably keep this on a shelf and never use it because I would fear losing it or ruining it. Definitely will be saving up for this bag whenever I start a "Big Girl" job.

 I picked up a can of this stuff just yesterday. I'm super excited to try this out because I've heard loads about this Batiste dry shampoo. And probably good to not wash my hair every single day!

The last product in this post is the John Frieda Frizz-Ease hair serum. I found this and the dry shampoo in my university's drug store, and I'm excited to use this, as I had some in my middle school years but never really used it, and my hair can sometimes get a little crazy because it's incredibly lightweight right after I shampoo it.

Anyways, that's all for today. I may post an outfit of the day later, but it all depends on whether or not I want to get out of these Roots sweatpants or lounge for the rest of the night, because I just finished my last shift at Tim Hortons! So excited... you can't even imagine how I excited I am! I'll be writing again tomorrow for sure!

EDIT:

Well, I didn't manage to get out of my sweats, so I have been lounging and literally watching youtube videos all evening. So nice to not have to worry about anything for quite awhile.

 

As you can see, I'm wearing my roots sweats, a VS PINK yellow tank, and a blue cardigan.

Also, I thought I would share the book I am currently reading which I read a bit of before bedtime.

The book is called The Bling Ring, and it's a true story about a group of teenagers that snuck into the homes of various celebrities like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, and stole various designer clothing, makeup and money. I'm really enjoying it so far, so I hope it stays that way! Looking forward to not reading textbooks for quite some time, so I'll be reading a lot so I'll keep you updated!

Anyways, I'm going to continue watching youtube videos and then shower and go to bed, so talk to you tomorrow!
