Summer Inspiration

Movies, monochrome and bloggers serve as inspiration this Summer. The beautifully shot Submarine gets an honourable mention for being my favourite thing at the moment. It's coming-of-age story is hilarious and the whole movie has a beautiful style. Not to mention the music- oh hello there, soundtrack that's written exclusively by Alex Turner. As well as Submarine, clean white sheets, cities and simple outfits are my inspiration. If only my Summer will be this Pinterest-worthy. Gah.

Wish List: 22/07/13

Wish List: 22/07/13 by rubysterland 

 Here are a few beautiful things I wish I owned. (If only my bank account were larger.) Although, maybe that's a good thing, because I'm not sure I would know when to stop if that were the case.

Colour Block Bowler Bag, Topshop- I love pastel colours and the boxy shape of this bag. I'm always drawn to big bags, which probably does my back no good because I manage to pack everything into my handbags. (Things get lost in there)

Color Tattoo, Maybelline (in On and On Bronze)- I've heard so many good things about this range so I don't know why I haven't tried them for myself already. I think the bronze is a really pretty, subtle colour, so that's the one I would go for.

Double Blouse, Zara- I love these delicate v-neck tops, I think they look so simple but really flattering. With all the crazy warm weather in the UK, I think it's light enough to get away with.

Printed Jumpsuit, Zara- This is in the sale so I'm going to have to be quick to get it. I think it looks so comfy, but the silky material means you can dress it up too. It also looks like a pyjama, and if I could I would live in my pyjamas, so this is close enough.

Stuck In Love- I went to see this movie at the cinema and I loooved it. I would definitely recommend that you watch it- it's funny, sad, and full of relationships and also books, because the protagonists are all authors. 

I Couldn't Resist...

Today I took a trip into town to get some holiday bits and bobs for my brother. I promised myself that I wouldn't get anything- I'm in London next week, and going shopping next weekend with my Aunt. I didn't really stick to my promise, but I think these purchases are justified! The slipper style pumps are from Gap and I got them at a steal of around £7, I couldn't say no! They're so simple but the orange details make them great for summer. Easy A is a movie I've been wanting for ages because, well, who doesn't love Emma Stone? And I cannot believe I'm saying this, but my flip flops were £1 from Primark. Seriously. 

I hope you've all had a fantastic weekend! Speak soon x

Wish List: 01/04/13

Here is a list of all the things I want at the moment! I haven't done a post like this in a while, but things I'm longing for have started to slowly accumulate again...

1) A Nude Lipstick- At the moment it's between Casablanca by Nars or Style Surge by MAC. If my purse would stretch far enough to buy both, I definitely wouldn't hesitate! They're both quite similar, but which one do you prefer?

2) A Boyfriend Coat- this particular one is from Topshop and I luuurve it, especially seeing as the weather we have at the moment is crazily cold! I could really do with a cozy coat like this. 

3) A Gold Watch- from River Island. I really love chunky, masculine watches that you could wear with everything and anything. 

4) The Notebook- I saw this last weekend and I couldn't stop crying. If you haven't seen it you have to! I have now ordered it from Amazon; it's on it's way and I can't wait.

5) Nail Polish from Topshop- in Green Room.

6) Black Loafers- from Topshop. A few years ago I had a pair like this which I wore to school everyday. For a while no one understood my love for Penny Loafers, but thankfully now they're in again! They were so comfy and I've been looking for a pair ever since. This pair look pretty identical to my last.
