K's Weekly Wishlist #3


Nail polish | Clutch | Towel | Coat | Loafers | Dry Shampoo | Bag

As you may have already noticed I am quite a big fan of the color black so it's no surprise half of the items on here are this color.
I have not always been a fan of see-through bags since to me they seem like an invitation for thieves: hey here's my iPhone, and wow look my wallet is so big! Although I still have mixed feelings about them, I grew into being a fan lately. The clutch shown above is a bit dimmed and one side isn't see-through at all so it would be the perfect bag to get used to the idea.
Confetti nail polishes have been on my mind forever since I am totally into glitter nail polishes. It is a different kind of glitter and I am certainly always excited about change!
As Bianca said, summer will be coming to an end soon... though is definitely still really hot here in Vienna and in September, I will be in the United States on a road trip from New York to Los Angeles (I will write an article about it soon), driving through deserts and other really hot places, so it won't be autumn for me until October. Despite all this upcoming heat, I have never been into summer, so I am already thinking about what to wear in autumn/winter. I was a fan of this kind of coat last year already and I will totally buy it this year. I love the contrast!
Studded loafers, booooring, I know, but I need them to match my wardrobe! Yes I have had some shoes on my wishlist already but as opposed to most women, I don't own an entire room full of shoes so my shoes barely ever match my outfits, unfortunately... This has to end soon!
Bianca has been a fan of Batiste dry shampoos for a while now and she totally recommended them to me. Unfortunately it's a bit late for me to order this for the festival I am going to next week, but I will definitely try it out anyway!
Now to the part of the list which might seem a bit boring to you: I have wanted white towels for ages now, I need them for my bathroom. My entire flat is really white and I do not even own white towels, shame on me!
Finally: the bag. Ah I wish I could give you a link to it but the bag above is from Mango and is sold out. I own a really similar one myself, from Zara, but sadly its death is near and I love it so much it's my absolute favorite bag! I am desperate to find a similar one, I really am, I really do hope I will find one in the US!
Do you know where I can purchase a bag like this? What have you been wishing for?

B's Weekly Wishlist #3


Hiya! 

I've had a few camera-related problems (aah!) so I haven't been able to upload any pictures recently - though I will post an article with my favorite buys of july 2013 soon :)
No matter what, I always have time for my bi-monthly wishlist though! I haven't seen many clothes that I really want recently, and I'm still a little caught-up in my make-up frenzy, but I thought after last week's beauty heavy post, I'll try to focus more on accessories, so here goes: 

 Necklace 1 | Necklace 2 | Benefit Kit | Backpack | Tan Cream | Nail Polish | Ear Studs | Laptop Case

I've been loving neutral colors and bold statement jewelry lately, so these rope necklaces with silver and gold detail from New Look are right down my alley - can't decide which one to get!
Because my bezzie Kym is heading to the US in a couple of days and cos she's the cutest girl in town, she asked me if I wanted anything from NYC... of course I couldn't say no. #1 on my wishlist is this little beautybox by Benefit called "Primping with the Stars". I've got their "Sugarlicious Lip & Cheek Kit" and love it dearly, but this box is even better - my every day make up essentials in one box and a cute travel size of their They're Real mascara.
I've been searching for the perfect leather backpack for a while now and recently came across this one on ASOS. I love the contrast between the suede and sleek leather, the color is perfect and it's neither too big nor too small. At 70€, it's quite expensive, but bear it mind that it is real leather.
Talking about chocolate brown: summer is slowly but surely coming to an end... and I'm pretty devastated because my tan is fading! When I was at the airport recently, I picked up a beauty magazine for a fiver, which had a really generous free sample tube of this Rodial brazilian tan... it's so good, but I've run out and need some more - despite the hefty price tag of 40€ for a small tube.
I've also been looking for a cute leather-look nail polish, and think this one by Nails Inc. looks just perfect! Definitely going to get the black one, it looks classy and fierce all at once.
As you may or may not know, I really love piercings and tattoos. Along with my crescent moon tattoo on my forearm, I have a golden nose ring, a cartilage stud on my left ear, and, as of yesterday, three lobe piercings on each side. To decorate my new piercing acquisitions and because I love to wear different studs on each ear, I've got my eyes set on this really cool set of studs by Me & Zena.
My current laptop case is a disgrace to my darling macbook baby, so I've been on the hunt for a cute one: this one by ASOS is perfect. Colorful, girly and with a little bit of aztec, right on trend.

What are your picks of the week? Any requests or suggestions for posts? Let us know, we'd love to hear from you.

What I bought

I went to Primark today with a friend. I planed not to spend a lot of money, but as usual I ended up buying clothes and accessories for nearly 50€. At the cash register, I realized that I have bought one entire outfit, which wasn't on purpose at all!


I have chosen an oversized blouse in khaki, black long leggings, a studded black belt, pyramid shaped earrings and black front closed sandals.
The vest is made out of a super light material which makes it perfect for summer. I am very impressed about the leggings because they are made out of viscose so they are super soft. The leggings I usually by are from H&M but they wear out quickly and are expensive compared to those from Primark.


The studs on the belt are really small and pyramid shaped. The only belts I have in my wardrobe are plain and actually quite boting, so I went for something simple but a bit more fancy.


I have always wanted pyramid shaped earrings in gold. I am very happy with them, they are not too oversized but still eye-catching. I have to add here that I barely ever wear earrings, I don't even know why. Maybe it's because I usually wear necklaces and I think necklaces and earrings together are a bit too much, but that's because I'm a minimalist.


And the best comes last: my new sandals. I have searched for some like these everywhere and unfortunately Austria is not known for how fashionable and up to date it is. These beauties are made out of real leather and they were the last in the entire shop. I was so happy to see that they are exactly my size and they also fit really well. This is my favorite buy of today.
Do you like shopping at Primark? Is there anything you have found lately that you have searched for for a very long time?
