Secrets Of A Girl Having Fun... Wishlist Outfit, Girls Just Want To Have Fun. Week Four.







The Weather has started to get colder but that by no chance means that it will be slowing us down from having fun.
So, this week’s outfit wishlist is about keeping warm and having fun at the same.

First up is this And Other Stories jumper
And Other Stories is a cool new shop which has similar brains behind it as H&M. Slightly more up market then H&M, a Regent Street shop in London opened last March which means, hallelujah, we are not just restricted to dribbling over the website anymore!
This jumper, or sweater, consists of a navy body and black sleeves creating a stylish edge.
The quality of this jumper will also be keeping you nice and toasty throughout the winter. So, open that purse now to have maximum wear and use out of it.

Skipping ahead to number 6 this Kate Spade top is a fun pop of colour and goes brilliantly with the Zara Trousers.

Upon seeing these Zara Trousers it was love at first sight. Subtle but sophisticated these trousers have a splash of colour stripped across the leg. The different tones allows them to be perfectly matched with a variety of different items and means that your not going to be too overwhelmed with bright colours.

To accessories I put it with a Lola Rose ring. Bold jewellery always looks nice if your going for chunky knits and rings are a perfect way of making your outfit look all the more gorgeous.

The important thing to remember when wearing rings is to make sure that your nails look nice.  This Mavala nail polish in 49, is a perfect match and is my favourite colour right now. 
I love how Mavala do small bottles, they are one of my top nail polish brands that I will always reach for, but this just puts the cherry on the cake for me and means minimum wastage.
White nail polish, also known as white out is very popular in America and it brightens up your outfit.
The shade of white is basically the white that is used for French Manicure so if you have any of that hanging around splash some of that onto your nails and that will work just as well.

I teamed this outfit with some simple Kurt Geiger Navy heels. With only a 9cm heel they are perfect for running around town, adding length to your legs and pulling the look together.

Keeping to the hot pink and navy theme this lipstick from Marc Jacobs new beauty line (- I know very exciting!) goes perfectly and gives your lips that pop that they always need in the winter.

To finalise this weeks wishlist I wanted to include this book ‘How to walk in high heels, a girls guide to everything.’ By Camilla Morton. She has managed to put all the information that a girl just needs to know all together in one place. From how to walk in high heels to even looking good in a photo, this book is a treasure trove of tips and useful hints.
As well as featuring Camilla Morton’s exemplary tips it also contains words from the renown Manolo Blahnik, Gisele and even Anya Hindemarch herself!
A Sunday Times Bestseller this is a read worth finding time for, whether your hoping on and off the tube or  just in need a bit of bed time reading.

That’s all for this week,
 Much Love Isabel Beatrice xxx

Secrets Of A Girl Having Fun.. Wish List Outfit Week Three






A few items this week are a bit more expensive then an impulse buy but I felt that I would still include them as the quality is definitely worth the money:

This Plum Equipment shirt is one of the two pricier items in this post however the quality is amazing and it is definitely worth the save and splurge as equipment shirts are cut very nicely.
The heart pattern has been seen on a Burberry shirt which has been worn on the likes of Victoria Beckham and Harry Styles – both people I am in complete awe of. 

Disco Pants are something that I was introduced to by the amazing Zoella and I felt that they would be a nice match with this shirt, either tucked in or falling over the top.

This American Apparel velvet scrunchie is something I myself have had my eye on all summer. Not only are they not as harsh on your hair as a normal tie but they also look fun, whether they are on your wrist or in your hair. This navy tie creates a bit more pizzazz with your hair and are also available in a variety of colours.

Maybelline’s baby lips have been the must have thing almost nationwide. From seeing them in the States and people going crazy for them they have quite sensibly brought them over to the UK and have swiftly become the must have thing for this summer.
• In the UK I believe that they have one of their ranges out consisting of six colours. Here I have picked ‘Cherry Me’ a deep red-dy pink. Baby Lips are a moisturising lip balm which also have a colour tint in them. So, in simple terms they are a lipstick which has moisturising qualities in it.  They also have other ranges such as the neon range which I expect they will soon bring over to England at some point – hopefully!

Russell And Bromley always have a nice variety of moccasins and I was not disappointed when I saw these Navy Blue Snake Print Tassel Moccasins by Stuart Weitzman. This is the second pricey item of this post however Stuart Weitzman shoes are always made very well.
These shoes are made in Spain and  have a leather lining with a non- slip rubber sole and are very comfortable in deed. These shoes would definitely not wear out too quickly.


That’s all for this weeks Wish List post, I hope you have liked it. I am planning on doing some other posts as well as these weekly wish list posts but right now everything has been very hectic so stay tuned for that.
Have a great week,

Much Love - Isabel Beatrice xxx

Secrets Of A Girl Having Fun... Be Bold Wish List Outfit




(also available through Nordstrom)

(- Also available from Etsy)

Fashion week is on and its all about making a statement on the runway so with this weeks outfit in mind I decided to be a bit bolder in their honour.
 Here’s what I came up with:
This Zara Print dress falls really nicely and could work well for all sorts of events - whether its popping into town, seeing some friends for lunch or even heading into work this look is effortlessly chic.
As the weather gets colder a coat is definitely necessary and so I teamed this dress with an H and M coat, which at £39.99 is basically a steal for a coat!
And sadly as much as I don’t want to admit it, it seems to be getting to the stage where it is too cold to go bare legged so why not keep those legs warm in these Wolford Charcoal grey tights. The grey adds a bit of a change from your everyday black and looks exquisite.
Clear clutches have been everywhere at the moment: from on the runway to the midst of a celebrity paw and now your clasp too.
What you may have first thought was a Chanel Nail Polish when you look again you will actually realise that it is a phone cover! it takes picking a nail varnish colour to the full and creates a fun way of coordinating your outfit with your nail varnish/cover!
Everyone should be stylish from your head to your toes so why don’t you clad yours with these electric blue shoes which finish off your look perfectly.



Weezer, Island In The Sun – Spike Jonze Version

An old feel good song that’s been around a while.
The music video is sweet and worth a watch if you just want a smile.

Featured on BBC Radio 1 Lounge live Bastille’s  remix is definitely worth a listen to.
