Summer Wishlist+A Giveaway!!

It's been a while since I've compiled a proper wishlist & the change of season seemed an appropriate time to start dreaming of new things again. There are definitely things on here which I won't ever dream of owning unless I win the lottery (ahem, Mulberry bag) but some I'd quite happily see joining my wardrobe & life in the not too distant future.



I'd quite like all of the above but if I was to pick a favourite item from this list it'd have to be the Mulberry 'Alexa' bag, inspired by the one & only Alexa Chung of course. I need a decent sized handbag which is big enough to fit all my essentials in, but not so big that I can't find anything & this one would be perfect. Again, when I win Lotto this would be one of the first things I bought.

Click through for more Summer Must-Haves!


Mini Cat Ring, Snow Fairy Products, Lula Issue 15, Embroidered Cutout Shirt, Frankie Issue 50.

How adorable is the TopShop shirt? It could easily be dressed up with a tailored skirt, a floaty skirt or even worn dressed down with denim cutoffs. I love this colour for summer as well as blush pink. Collared shirts also earn extra bonus points in my books.


Summer is definitely the best time to read & listen to new music & watch DVD's in bed as the sun rises.   I cannot wait to read Grace Coddington's memoirs & Kirstie Clements' (Former Vogue Aus Editor) + Alexa Chung's next year.

  2. Ooooh! Competition! Hurrah! My Summer essential this season is my Benefit lip tint; perfect as it stays on while swimming so I can have pretty ruby lips and cheeks when taking a dip.

  9. Hey Sophie, what a sweet give away idea. I don't have much of a wish list this summer. I need a good hair cut through and a big pile of magazines to read in the sun would be pretty lovely:)

  10. Dangerous question! I'm also coveting the Anytime sunglasses, a perfect denim shirt, these Jeffrey Campbell 29 Palms sandals http://www.shoeconnection.co.nz/products/JCYQFR2L1KX or on a budget these http://www.numberoneshoes.co.nz/products/womens-shoes/sandals/gillian-sandal-brown-pink.html, an apaculpo chair for the deck and some amazing books to read in the sun. I could go on *dreams*. x

  11. My fashion wishlist for this summer is a fancier interpretation of my every-summer getup of cotton, denim, togs, kicks & sunnies: Comme des Garcons blue-striped cotton shirt with bowtie, cut-off denim shorts, Zimmermann navy cross-front swimsuit, JW Anderson for Topshop t-shirt, Karen Walker Harvest pink sunglasses, Feiyue white canvas sneakers, and a Karen Walker octopus blue velour beach towel. I'd also be very happy with (and more likely to get) my real summer must-have: a week spent camping at a Far North beach!

  12. I'm fairly basic when it comes to summer: my staples include a new pair of Haviannas, a bright and cute summer dress, Soft Lips lip balm in a summer edition flavour, a bottle of strawberry-lime flavoured Rekorderlig and most importantly non-stop plans with the loved ones.
