Although you wouldn't think it from the sudden drop in temperature, constant downpours and thunder storms we've been experiencing lately, we are technically amidst the height of summer. Yes, that is how ridiculously rubbish the UK weather can be. So, to perk up my mood and almost fool myself into thinking there's bright blue skies and a heatwave going on outside, I thought I'd put together a little wishlist together, full of summer essentials. There's a few beauty bits, style favourites and homeware pieces in there that have taken my fancy recently, including a few items that you can snap up in the sales.
As well as mixing up my wardrobe and picking up some new style pieces for Spring, I also like to switch up my beauty routines. With the new season ahead, I'll hunt down any products that will boost radiance, intensify the glow factor and keep my skin as juicy and plumped as possible. With that in mind, here are the products on my radar, at the moment.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that's excited that Spring is well and truly here, now that the weather has brightened up and the evenings are so much lighter. Seeing as blue skies and sunshine are more of a regular occurrence, we can peel a few layers off and start leaving our faux fur-lined parkas at home when heading out. With summer days and holidays in mind, I've started to think about the style pieces I want to add to my wardrobe for the upcoming months and I've found a whole load of items I'm in love with. It's been a while since my last wishlist, so I thought it was time I showed you what I'm currently coveting.
In January, the weather is miserable and we're in this weird limbo between the festive period and the start of spring/summer, so we all need a little pick-me-up. To brighten my mood and make myself feel a bit less like there's nothing to look forward to, I thought I'd do some online shopping. Here's what I'm currently eyeing-up!
I can't believe we're already half way through November and Christmas is so close! As it's my boyfriend's birthday month, he's being a scrooge and is stubborn about not letting us watch any Christmas films, listen to Christmas music, or even buy a packet of mince pies until his birthday has passed. So, to keep him happy and myself from stocking up on festive jumpers, decorations and sweet treats just yet, I've been doing a lot of window shopping and online browsing for winter threads that I'd love to add to my wardrobe.

Autumn Beauty Wishlist: Sunday Riley, Hourglass, Eos & More
13:32Alice Grace
A/W is always the best time for beauty, in my opinion, as the trends are right up my street and there's always an abundance of limited-edition collections to swoon over. Lately, there's been so many amazing, new releases that I've barely been able to keep up, so I've put together a little list of what I'm currently lusting after.
We may be experiencing the height of summer, but I have a confession to make. Last night, I put the heating on. Although the sun has been making an appearance every now and again, and the weather has verged on tropical for us in the UK, I've been feeling cold whenever it's been cloudy or miserable. As soon as September is in our sights, I immediately think of autumn, hence my eagerness to share the key pieces I'm lusting after for my summer to autumn, transitional wardrobe. Here are the picks that I have my eye on, at the moment.
After an absolute scorcher of a weekend and finally booking a holiday for the end of June, I'm well and truly in summer mode. Forget black tights, coats, jumpers and umbrellas (for another 24 hours, at least), I've packed away all my winter staples and have been on the hunt for some new additions to my wardrobe.
Ah, Spring! Although we've had quite a miserable start to the month, I cannot wait for the blue skies to appear, sunshine to start shining and beautiful blossom to bloom. As soon as a new season is upon us, I get a little spendy, but recently I've had good reason to as my guy and I will be re-locating to Nottingham in a few months. As we only moved from our home of Liverpool to Yorkshire two years ago, I'm not really looking forward to another big upheaval so soon, especially as we've really settled here. But, that's life! Every cloud has a silver lining and I see ours as a chance to upgrade lots of our home interior pieces. I was recently introduced to the uber-cool brand Esprit by a friend and, after having a browse of their homeware, I soon discovered they had a gorgeous selection of clothing, too. My online bag is currently brimming with goodies, so I thought I'd share my favourite pieces from the website with you.
When it's frosty outside, all I want to do is snuggle up and do some online shopping from the comfort of my cosy duvet. Seeing as it's been so icy recently, I've been browsing the web a lot and here's what's on my current lust-list...

Autumn Style Wishlist - Jeans, Heeled Boots & Jewellery
07:45Alice GraceI love to shop all year round - I mean, who doesn't? For some reason though, I get most excited for hitting the stores and browsing online as we approach autumn. Layering up in varying textures and piling on as much black clothing as possible is totally my style, so being able to rock cosy jumpers, skinny jeans and heeled boots once again, just makes me so happy. Here's what I'm currently itching to get my hands on, to kit me out ready for A/W.
