For the third week of #teenblogseries, we will all be blogging about our favourite highstreet shop and our picks from that store. I'm hoping it's okay that I've chosen an online store but for me they fiercely compete with all of the shops we can find on the highstreet. The online store I'm referring to here is ASOS who offer a variety of fashion and beauty items, from a plethora of brands, as well as housing there own line of clothing and accessories. If you have never been on the ASOS website, I would highly recommend having a browse, especially in the sale section where I have found many a bargain!

Now that I've told you a little about my favourite shop, I'm going to share a few of my recent favourites that I've spotted, specifically those that are Autumn/Winter '14 appropriate!

1) The Balm Shady Lady Vol. 2 Palette, Was £26.50, Now £19.50

I have seen some really amazing reviews of The Balm but have never tried anything from them. This palette has some gorgeous and wearable colours for every occasion and I would definitely wear all of them! It would be great for anyone wanting to downsize their eyeshadow collection or for a beginner looking for an all round option!

2) ASOS Scallop Trim Cross Body Bag in Oxblood and Green, £16

I absolutely adore the style of this bag and couldn't decide which colour was my favourite so decided to show you both! These two colours just sum up Autumn-Winter for me and I am excited to incorporate some pieces in these colours into my wardrobe. Let me know which colour you prefer in the comments below!

3) ASOS Large Face Wraparound Watch, £20

This watch is so simple but that's why I love it! My current everyday watch is silver but I am starting to wear more gold jewellery so have been looking for an affordable gold watch and this one looks pretty perfect! The double strap adds a little edge whilst the general design is still very classic.

4) New Look Winter Floral T-Shirt Dress, £22.99

This brings me onto another benefit of ASOS- they stock New Look clothing! I usually find that the range is better too! This dress is perfect, especially in the cooler weather with a thick pair of tights. The pattern, the shape, the sleeves, everything! 

5) ASOS Align Ankle Boots, Were £40, Now £18

These are such a fantastic classic boot option- I love the simplicity and the fact that they could be paired with jeans for a casual daytime look or with dressier outfits! The price makes them even better!

There are so many lovely pieces on the ASOS site so I would definitely recommend having a look for yourself- I tried to narrow it down to my favourites but I could have continued listing for a while! It was very difficult to choose my favourite 'highstreet' store but some of my other favourites are New Look, Zara and Dorothy Perkins, if you're interested! On a side note, if you plan on placing multiple orders on ASOS or you already do, I'd certainly consider signing up to ASOS Premier; it is £9.99 per year but gives you unlimited next day delivery and free collection of returns... definitely worth it considering the ever rising delivery fees!

Thank you for reading!

My Shoe Wishlist!

I have always been totally enthralled by shoes and at the moment, my wishlist of shoes that I've got my eyes on is growing rapidly so I thought I would share a few of them with you all! 

1) Fat Face Loafers, £40

I have wanted a pair of loafers or moccasins from fat face for months after seeing some that my sister has had for over a year. I think these are perfectly classic and somewhat vintage-like and could be worn with jeans and dresses alike!

                                                                                                                        

 

2)Fat Face Harwell Moccasins, £45

Now, these weren't a planned part of this post as I spotted them when finding the link for the above pair... I just can't help myself! I am obsessed with this forest/hunter green colour and saw a particularly lovely handbag in accessorize today in this colour that very nearly came home with me! I absolutely love these!

 

3) Keds Champion Dot, $50

As a converse fan, I absolutely love these as a prettier and more feminine option. I love all of the patterns and prints but these red polka dot ones are probably my favourite! In the UK, these are available at Schuh in most stores and online and I also visited a Hollister store today that was carrying the brand, although the range was very limited.

4) Womens Sperry Bluefish 2 Eye Flats, £44.99

There are a few pairs of Sperrys that I like the look of although I keep getting drawn to these because of the beautiful floral panel- love the colours and love the print! Boat shoes are a great summer staple and these are the ultimate! If you aren't a fan of the floral, I'd definitely check out some of the solid coloured ones; they are available in the UK at Schuh!

5) New Look Taste Black Single Sole Sandals, £19.99

I love this style of sandal and I definitely think we have enough of summer yet to rock these for a while longer! The double strap detail gives this simple shoe a little something more which I adore!

6) ASOS Halcyon Heeled Sandals, £38

As if I needed another pair of sandals... actually, of course I do! ASOS has really delivered with these beautiful floral printed sandals and I really think these would brighten up any plain outfits, as well as being dark enough to be autumn appropriate!

7) ASOS Sunset Pointed Heels, £35

Yes, another ASOS pick! I think these will be a real love-hate option but I for one absolutely love them! The colour is gorgeous for adding a pop of colour and the small block heel means that they are perfect for everyday wear... 

8) Nike Free iD, from £120

My last shoe pick is a little strange as it's a trainer but I have been wanting these for a while now and as an intermittent (weather permitting!!) runner, I think I would get a fair amount of use out of them!

As you can imagine, there are many more shoes that I could happily add to this list but for now, these 8 are the main ones! I'd love to know which shoes you're currently craving so share them below! 

Have a fantastic day!
