Wish List

Hey guys

It has been forever and a day since we last blogged - please accept out apologies we have been really bogged down with uni work, but I decided to take a little break from my work and write a blog post!

I am stepping outside of our themed day structure to share with you what I am lusting after at the moment! I can accept (with struggle) that until I get a job or unless santa really exists and really loves me it is unlikely that these items will be mine, but I think it will help to talk about them.

So first up is the Mulberry Effie Satchel 

I have been longing for a satchel/across the body bag for agessss and I absolutely love this new mulberry design. With a detachable strap it is like two bags in one! They have it in all different colours, but I really like this 'Bark Brown Velvet Suede'

Secondly I can't seem to get over this Return to Tiffany Bead Bracelet. I have a larger Return to Tiffany bracelet but don't wear it anymore as I find it too in your face, so I really like this tiny one!

Next up is a Zara Coat with Quilted Faux Leather Sleeves

As I had to give up my desire for a puffa I have kept my eyes peeled for a winter jacket.  Does anyone else feel like winter has been kinder to us this year? I know the leather sleeves are a bit overdone this year, but I like that isn't the entire sleeve. 72% wool too, so will keep me warm when the snow arrives.

Somedays I wish my existing 2008 MacBook will give up so I can have an excuse to buy the MacBook Air, but it's still going strong and for this reason, Macs are definitely the way. This is just beautiful...

Back to fashion related items, I want these River Island Ankle Boots. I never ever ever buy black boots because I always prefer the tan/brown version so I really need to just buy some black boots! These ones have taken my fancy.

Last, but not least I want a bob like this...

I have been growing my hair for four years and it is practically at the length I have always dreamed of, and now I want a bob... Why does this happen? I have the slowest growing hair in the history of mankind so this is a massive decision to make, but i recently bought Babyliss big hair and unfortunately on my long massive hair it didn't really work very well, but on my mum's bob it was absolutely amazing and I think this is what has swayed me! Most people are advising against because they have heard my woes over the last four years of hair growth and probably cant take much more. What are your thoughts? To bob or not to bob? Have any of you bobbed and regretted?

Obviously there are a million other things I want right now but these are top of my list! What are you lusting after at the moment?

Naomi

Ps I will be reviewing lots of new beauty items (By Terry Touche Veloutee, Lancome Hypnose Drama, Rimmel by Kate Lipstick, Dior skin care, Babyliss wave wand etc etc) in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned! 

Thursday Three-Way: These boots were made for walking

As you know I got some really cute Oasis ankle boots for my birthday on Tuesday so I thought I'd dedicate this post to showing you just how versatile they are. I also want to point out that despite last week's post confessing to my fake blonde locks, I have actually gone back to brunette after threatening it for ages! Hope you like the new look!

1. Birthday Dinner

This outfit mixes a pretty dress with casual boots giving the perfect smart casual look. I think it's ideal for a meal with friends when you don't want to be too dressed up but want to make an effort!

This dress is a vintage dress from Urban Outfitters renewal collection a little while ago. I love vintage as it means it's unique and this particular style is right up my street! I love the little cap sleeves and the print on the bottom half. The waist is elasticated (like I said, ideal dinner outfit) and has a little sparkle to it.

Adding opaque tights (I sometimes wear two pairs for blackest black) stops it looking too dressy - plus it's extra warmth as it get cooler. The blue Miu Miu shoulder bag completes the look.

2. Casual coffee

This next look is a pretty casual look so ideal for just running errends in the day, going for a coffee, taking a quick look around the shops. You could even walk the dog in it as the boots are so comfy!

Collar. Collar. Collar. I need to get that word out of my system. We try to bring variety at Who's that girl? but I have yet to beat this collar addiction! This cute sage green shirt from Topshop has a lovely vintage style floral print and buttons up the back. Add a pair of blue skinny jeans which sit nicely just inside the boots and a slouchy Mulberry Alexa and it's the perfect laidback look! My little dog Beau loved it so much she had to join in for a picture!

3. Band boots

I love going to see live bands and I often have to stand at crowded gigs. Whilst Naomi may moan (did you realise her name is 'I moan' backwards?!) about her 5'9" height, she doesn't realise what a benefit this would be at such a gig (she tends to avoid these kinds of gigs generally).

At 5'5" I need the extra benefit of a heel to see over the ridiculously tall person who insists on standing right in front of me. However, when you know you're going to be standing for a couple of hours, comfort is key. Therefore, these boots are ideal for such an occasion!

These black, skinny, Diesel 'Grupee' jeans are very rock 'n' roll with their distressed and paint spattered appearance (if one more person asks me if I've been decorating...)

I love the design on the McQ t-shirt - it's very Sergeant Pepper! The blue denim jacket - which I like to customise with button badges - prevents this becoming a double denim disaster by contrasting with the jeans.

Finally, you don't want to be carting around a huge bag at a crowed gig so this little Vivienne Westwood bag is just the right size for phone and keys and very granny chic!

As you can see, I am mad about these boots which are also available in tan. There are similar pairs available at Office too so I see a trend emerging! Now you've seen how versatile they are, can you really say no?!

Bootfulls of love,

Chelsea x



Wednesday Winners

Hey Everyone

It hardly seems a week since we were last picking out our Wednesday Winners - where does the time go?! We hope you've all been enjoying our picks and that you aren't suffering too much from the same fate as we have: RSS - Repetitive Shopping Syndrome, from all the clicking and inputting of card details online!!

Chelsea's Picks

This week I've picked out some more wintry items - ironic since I am picking these on what is actually a really sunny day (but unfortunately, the sceptic in me knows this won't last and so it's best to be prepared!)

1. Zara Cable Knit Sweater with Zip (£38.99)
I love this jumper. I really like knitwear, especially cable knit and I love the traditional colour of this Aaron-like jumper. The zip at the back adds a modern twist too.

2. Sam Edelman Kendrix Buckle High Ankle Boots @ mywardrobe (£180)
For a pair of designer boots, £180 isn't too bad (who am I trying to convince?) I think this pair have a Mulberry look about them with all of the straps. I like the tough look and would definitely wear these with a pair of skinny jeans and the Zara jumper!

3. Miss Selfridge Green Lace Insert Tee (£28)
I was really trying my best not to mention collars this week on the blog as I know Naomi will mock my obsession! However, I am willing to sacrafice Naomi having a laugh at my expense to bring you this super cute t-shirt. I love the pale green (although it is equally cute in the cream) and the lace inserts make it slightly more pretty and dressy.

4. George High Waisted Denim Spot Shorts (£14)
Whilst saving for my wedding I got a little bit addicted to finding supermarket bargains! George is my favourite supermarket range and I'm not ashamed to admit that I don't mind picking up a pair of cute shorts with my bread and apples! I think this polka dot high-waisted pair are very Jess from New Girl.

5. Oasis Parka with Leopard Fur Lining at ASOS (£88)
This coat is my favourite of this week's picks. I love a good parka and this traditional khaki one looks so cosy with the leopard lining and hood. It's definitely on the top of my birthday purchases list!

Naomi's Picks:

Zara has absolutely floated my boat this week.  I could have picked all five winners from Zara alone, but I didn't want to look like I hadn't put any effort in! 

Please note: You need to click on the links for all five of the winners to get a good zoom and appreciate their design and beauty.

1. Zara Jacquard Loom Trousers £39.99
I like the tailored and cropped style of these trousers, but most of all I like the Jacquard design and colours. They are perfect for a smart casual evening look, but could also be dressed down with a chunky knit. 

2. Next Check Dress £55
Tartan is sweeping the stores at the moment but the colours of this dress offer you a glam not in-your-face tartan.  For taller girls it can be hard to find knee-length dresses and skirts but this one looks like it will keep you work appropriate.  The rouched side and capped sleeves turn this dress into a designer look-a-like.

3. Zara Three Quarter Length Puffer Jacket £89.99
I feel guilty announcing this... but I absolutely love puffer jackets. I know that they are not the most fashionable of items but wearing a puffer is like being wrapped in a duvet and quite frankly there is nothing I want more than to be wrapped in a duvet whilst standing on a train platform in winter. I was delighted to see this Zara puffer as I feel it has taken the puffer to a new level of fashionable. The navy and gold colours add sophistication and the zipped collar, gold edged tassels and two sprung belt add style. These features, combined with 30% feather and 70% grey duck down (aka a duvet), scream "buy me now".  I really need this in my life. 

4. River Island @ ASOS Chelsea Girl Dobby Spot Blouse £25
I think subconsciously I have chosen this blouse in homage of Chelsea - her name and her love for collars, and not to mention my love for lace. I also really love the keyhole detailing at the back of the shirt.  Again, I think this could be worn with a pair of jeans or a pair of smart trousers - take your pick!  

5. Zara Embroidered Fantasy Skirt £79.99
I must admit I wasn't initially taken aback by this skirt but then I clicked on the zoomed-in image and thought 'wow!'.  The pearls and quilted embroidered pattern are unique but also reminded me of a Chanel design. I think this skirt is totally classic chic.  


That's it for another Wednesday Winners, thank you for reading! Are there any of these items that you will be purchasing this week? Or do you have your eye on any other items out there? Also, what do you think about purchasing a winter coat already?! We love to hear from you - so please add a comment or send us a tweet!

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Tuesday Shoesday: Oasis Metal Zip Ankle Boot

Good Morning Guys! Today I am in an extra good mood - not only because it's time for Tuesday Shoesday again but also because it's my birthday!! How appropriate that my birthday should fall on Shoesday!

As you get older, birthdays become a little bit bitter sweet. Whilst I hate the fact I'm another year older (well, technically only a day older than I was yesterday) I do LOVE the fact that I get presents! Who doesn't love presents? Especially shoe presents!

Now, I am very particular about gifts (a trait also shared by fellow Who's that girl? blogger, Naomi!) Whilst Naomi chooses to accept what she's given and then exchange it at a later date - sometimes for a preferable alternative, usually for cash value to shop elsewhere - I avoid the hassle by issuing strict instructions to my nearest and dearest in advance.

I realise this may be coming across as just a tad spoilt, I am actually grateful to anyone who has taken the time to choose me a gift, but I am sure everyone has found themselves in a situation of fake smiling and pretending the tiny ornamental umbrella/knitted peg basket/wide screen TV* they have received is just what they wanted!

*Just a selection of the gifts I have received from people who strayed from the list - the TV sounds better than it was!

So, this year I issued my list which included a lovely new camera, some Oh Lola! perfume and these cute boots from Oasis:

I love ankle boots but usually opt for black. I also only have either completely flat or high heels but this mid-heel is day-wear comfy whilst still giving me a little height.  These natural coloured ones also reminded me of the Isabel Marant Dicker boots which are so loved by Katie Holmes.

Redcarpet-fashionawards.com

I plan to steal Katie's style and team with skinny jeans for a casual look. I will also be opting for some opaque tights and a dress/skirt as the winter comes in.

I can already see these boots will be a wardrobe fave for me so am contemplating buying another pair whilst Oasis are still offering 15% off! I don't want to be kicking myself (with my worn out boots) if they all sell out like I did with last week's Sparkle Sparkle shoesday!!
