Just a quick Lust Have post today...

Cloudy Print Cross Back Tunic - Topshop £30.00

Dresses I Would Love To Be Able To Wear But Just Wouldn't Suit Me

Such a long title deserves a long list of dresses but I just don't have the time or space to show you all the dresses I like but wouldn't suit me so I've narrowed it down to dresses I'd love to get but would look completely wierd on me!

White Floral Print Structured Peplum Dress - River Island £45.00

Brown Print Chelsea Girl Dress - River Island £30.00

Light Green Bow and Chain Swing Dress - River Island £45.00

Crochet Shirtdress - Topshop £50.00

Poppy Lace Dress by Jones and Jones - Topshop £60.00

With such a wide range of colours and styles I'm surprised any dress suits me!

Wednesday Lust Have Dresses

Black Belted Racer Front Dress - River Island £45.00

If I could afford it, I would buy this just for the belt!

Beige Print Crochet Insert Skater Dress - River Island £28.00

I love the collar on this dress and the print is just right for Spring.

Blue Print Halter Neck Maxi Dress - River Island £35.00

This is an absolutely gorgeous dress and even has a 'high-low' hem so it fits in with the trends this Spring. It's also quite a reasonable price for a maxi.

Because, although you can probably find most of the clothes I suggest elsewhere, I know some of the choices I pick aren't available to every country and I don't want to isolate anyone :) And if you can't or don't want to post a comment, email me at plumesdepaon.loveblogs@yahoo.co.uk, I'd love to hear from you!

Lust Have

Unfortunately we only have one Lust Have for today because I've got my first proper AS Level exam tomorrow and I should be revising!

£13.00 for a dress is definitely a bargain!

School Work, Bucket List and Lust Haves

I'm really sorry for the completely uninspirational posts I've been doing for the past week or so, I've been really busy what with Christmas, New Year's and AS Level exams in a week! I've been so busy trying to catch up on the past papers I missed doing while I was away in France that I haven't even had time to think about my blog, let alone review anything! But I promise things will get better hopefully this week but definitely after Friday 13th. Yes, I have an exam on Friday 13th. :(

I also thought I would do a quick update on my Bucket List. It's still a work in progress and I promise it will be worth the wait when it's done. I'm still refining details!

But just to keep me in high spirits, I had a quick check on the BooHoo website and found these which I though I would share with you...

Kara Blur Print Tunic Dress - BooHoo £18.00

I thought this was an interesting design, and it seems to be quite a popular print for the new clothes on the BooHoo website so I chose this next dress which I think is much more suited for Spring/Summer. However, the first dress could make an interesting party dress!

Mitsy Tye Dye Bandeau Dress - BooHoo £15.00

Although this is a darker dress, I think bandeau dresses are very suitable for Spring/Summer.

Anise Dimple Effect Box Bag with Chain Strap - BooHoo £15.00

A nude bag is the perfect accessory for all seasons and I think this one fits the bill. It's also fairly inexpensive, which is a bonus! (This bag also comes in Berry which is a beautiful red colour)

Billie High Platform Suedette Heels - BooHoo £30.00

The same can be said for nude pumps! These heels and the nude bag go perfectly together, and with most outfits!

Monica Tartan Skater Dress - BooHoo £20.00

I'm not sure why I even like this dress! It's certainly not my style but something about it caught my eye and I really like it. This tartan dress would be the perfect match for the shoes I mentioned first in this post. However, if I was going to choose a pair of shoes for this dress, I would pick these...

Black Studded Court Shoes - New Look £29.99

I would choose these just because they're more edgy and I like the studded detailing in gold more than the silver studs on the shoes in the link above.

New Year's Eve Dresses!

I've chosen a couple of dresses from the River Island sale that might inspire you with what to wear for any New Year's Eve parties you might be going to, or any other party for that matter!

I've chosen dresses that are completely different, but that can all go with the same pair of shoes:

Black Peep Toe Stud Ankle Boots £70.00

Cream Jewellery Print Shift Dress £40.00 £20.00

Black Textured Dress £25.00 £15.00

Gold Chelsea Girl Frill Front Dress £30.00 £15.00

Cream Gold Leaf Print Waisted Dress £35.00 £15.00

Red One Shoulder Bodycon Dress £25.00 £10.00

I hope these inspire you and I hope you have a great New Year!
