With Valentine’s Day just round the corner I have put together another Valentines 10 Most Wanted for you, you can see last years here if you’re interested…
We’ll be having another relaxed, romantic and quiet affair… saving for the big day means extravagant weekends away are out of the question… so we’ll be out trolling charity shops in the day and enjoying a romantic evening in. I have done a few sneaky bits to make the day a bit more special but incase you needed some inspiration here’s some suggestions:
one | make some homemade chocolate truffles that you know he’ll love. two | light a beautiful scented candle. three | buy an awesome card. four | treat yourselves to some beautiful flowers. five | put on some special underwear that makes you feel amazing. six | apply a kiss friendly red lip tint. seven | get cosy with an awesome cushion. eight | pop a bottle of his favourite fizz. nine | bust out your special glasses. ten | dust off your favourite records and record player and lay back and enjoy.

You know when you’re getting old when every summer your calendar summer months start filling up with wedding save the dates.
2015 is hosting 4 weddings for Maxwell and I…. 1 has already taken place, a few days after NYE and I wore a beautiful floor length long sleeved green dress, very winter, very classic.
The 3 upcoming weddings though are all summer flings and require something a little more summer wedding appropriate.
In my head I pictured muted tones, floral, feminine. A couple of weeks ago My Mumma and I spent a day trawling the shops and nothing caught my eye… I tried on a couple of things but nothing was ‘wow’ enough.
I returned feeling a little downhearted so headed to online favourite ASOS, and as per usual was swamped with lovely items that I lusted after…
The great thing about ASOS, if you’ve never used it before, is that you can order loads of stuff, and if you don’t like any of it, it’s free postage back, no problemo, plus you get to try it on at home, accessorise with your own accessories before you decide to buy or not.
I am now sorted and brought 2 of my wedding outfits from ASOS but there were so many I liked I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my favourites….
I couldn’t whittle it down to just 10 so as a double treat here are my top 20!
Hopefully something for everyone… plus-size, petite, tall and ranging from £13 to £239, something to suit all budgets! All items are in stock at time of post but some items are in the sale so if you like anything make sure you move quickly….
Please feel free to share any summer shopping style guides in the comments… I’d love to see what you’re lusting after…
one | v back floral embellished dress. two | eyelash vintage cami dress. three | folk maxi dress with embroidered trims. four | pleat deep plunge maxi dress. five | bird and floral embroidered shift dress. six |salon scuba floral crop top maxi dress. seven | free people midi dress with off shoulder detail in floral print. eight | true decadence petite fit and flare full skater dress in all over floral. nine | floral print scuba bodycon dress. ten | soma london heavy metallic crochet lace shift dress.

And there you have it… my last 10 Most Wanted Zara dedicated post… (for now)
So have I converted you? I hope so!! I must admit, in the past, whist I have always admired Zara clothes on others, I never really felt it suited my style. My dear friend Mrs Keates over at The Magpie Mother always seems to find the most beautiful and laid back stylish items that suit her oh-so-much! But now it seems, especially with this collection, they’ve given them selves a slightly bohemian makeover that calls to my gypsy soul and adoration for all things embellished, printed and ethnic.
I will be checking back in with them soon for sure, but for now, enjoy my last offering. Here Here Zara from your new no.1 fan!
one | suede fringed jacket. two | necklace. three | pouch bag. four | red dress. five | boots. six | lace up flats. seven | dress. eight | necklace. nine | tassel bag. ten | cardigan.
