There's nothing more exciting for me than dreaming about creating new outfits and styles by mesmerising about wondrous pieces of clothing I wish to have in my wardrobe, and what better way to express this excitement than to write a blog about my current wishlist items!
I'm all for changing up looks and concepts when it comes to your style, and recently I have been adopting the minimalist style; offering so much diversity and combinations and being a huge investment in your wardrobe that can last you for years and years without wear or tear. I've written a whole blog about the aesthetics of minimalist fashion but lately i've been trying to not spend as much on clothes and saving up instead and what better way to do that than investing in a few good quality, dearer items that are transformable and timeless rather than buying a heap of poor quality, cheaper, wear-one-or-twice pieces that I have way too many of.
Anyway, I was scrolling through my pinterest one day &
found this image that created the baseline of my wish list & style inspo;

the clothes/item display is gorgeous itself but i love the concept; just having a few minimal, transformable and very wearable items that are important to you, and that you spent a bit more money on, is so clever and money-saving & still allows to you be highly stylish.
Black Boot
Nothing cooler or more versatile than the classic black boot, we all know that a shoe collection cannot be complete without a decent pair of shoes you can wear for years and years without dramas- which is why I love Alexander Wang's 'Donna' Boot. The semi matte leather creates a high fashion, slic look and the chunky heel adds generous height without that feet pain. Rounded off slim toe keeps things feminine but edgy at the same time & the boot length is ideal for both jeans and skirts likewise.

Shoulder Bag
A good black shoulder bag is my go-to bag because it's so easy to style, easy to wear and can still carry around a heap of stuff. Shoulder bags are awesome because they can work with any outfit & are very easy on the shoulder. I love my black shoulder bag but i've been meaning to invest in a new one which is why I have my eyes on this beautiful 'To Hot To Handle' Shoulder bag by Marc Jacobs. Leather exterior is always a must with bags & the gold buckles add a luxurious feel. Love the choice of wearing it as a tote or a shoulder bag too as the straps are removable. Love

Who doesn't love themselves a simple, good quality cami? The best things about camis is their extreme versatility and their effortless chic quality- it's all in the shape and the straps. My favourite design of the cami is definitely one that has a v-neck neck line and very very thin spaghetti strings & this gorgeous Carrie Cami stole my eyes instantly.
The simplicity is to die for and I can just imagine how flattering this cami will look with a combination of about 20 outfits. Wear it in summer for a sweat-free, stylish look or layer it up in winter underneath a wooly coat or a beautiful trench. Paired up with some boots, this simple cami can transform you into a goddess.

Mom Jeans

Taking it back to the olden days, the Mom jeans are
now a huge statement piece; and not just for mums.
The mom jeans are so friggen comfortable, stylish,
and flattering to any body type & can make even the
ones born with a little booty look like they're part of
the Kardashian family (no joke.) I'm loving the mom
jean style because it's such a great new take on denim;
i'm so sick of skinny jeans & although we all know how
flattering a good pair of black skinnies can be, I'm
spicing it up this winter by investing in a good, faded
& washed out pair of high waisted mom jeans to wear
with my boots and fur coat. I found this gorgeous
pair from Topshop (I swear by topshop jeans) which
aren't going to bust my bank account but still maintain
a very good quality and can last me ages.

Black Lace Bralette
A black lace undergarment is an essential staple for any girl; creates femininty, sexiness and can be worn under sheer pieces to give a sultry look and add a touch of complexity to a simplistic outfit. Personally, I love wearing lacy undergarments & i've been needed to invest in a good quality lacy bralette. Bralettes are the only thing I wear when it comes to undergarments so I've been looking for a very classy and not over the top lacy bralette & this Isabel Marant bralette caught my eye instantly. A simplistic cut & excess lace trim below the cups, i'm loving this gorgeous piece.

Nude Boots
As well as a good pair of black boots, nude
boots are a must-have for any wardrobe. For
those days where you would like a softer
look, or prefer to spice up your all black
outfit with some light coloured shoes, the
nude boot is an awesome piece to have for
both summer and winter wear. I've been
loving the look of the wet look, nude, invisible
zipper boot & have fallen in love with these
gorgeous babies from Topshop. Real leather
exterior provides long wear without tear&

the heel heigh is perfect.

Wide Brim Hat
There's nothing cooler than a wide brimmed hat and we all know that sun protection is an important aspect of living, so what better way to look cool and be doing good for your body than investing in one of these babies! I've been loving the wide-brimmed hat trend; the hat can be worn both in summer and winter time and can transform a look completely. I've seen a heap of different takes on wide brimmed hats but this one from Malene Birger caught my eye instantly. The crisp cut brim and the perfect structure is to die for.

Fur Bag
I've been obsessed with fur things lately
and what better way to feed my obsession
and what better way to feed my obsession
than drooling over a good fur bag that'll last me
a few decades if not a lifetime. A good bag
has both versatility and quality & is able to
last a whole lifetime without a best before
date. Fur bags can act as a complimentary
piece to your outfit and in some cases can
even act as a statement piece if minimalism
is your go-to look. I've been searching for a
good quality fur bag for ages, but all
the ones i've found haven't met my expectations
in terms of style or colour, but I found this
piece from Christian Loubotiun's 2012 line
& i fell in love. If not this, then something
similar is what I would love to invest in.

These are great because a good button up shirt can be a saviour in so many situations; great work attire, perfect uni attire, good night out attire... the versatility is endless. Pair up a silky white button up with a pair of high waisted jeans and a pair of boots and you're good to go to any event looking fabulous. Although I have myself a white button shirt, I would love to invest in a few more pairs, like a patterned one, and a nice, soft silky material white button up.

I've made the decision of investing in a
few amazingly beautiful yet highly
simplistic jewellery pieces that focus more
on the shapes and symmetry of the metal
design rather than crazy colours, tassels
and flowers. My boyfriend recently got
me a Michael Kors ring & I instantly
fell in love with his jewellery line;
keeping it simple and classy with
a modern twist. I'm loving these pieces from Michael Kors, Country Road& Seed.

Black Trench Coat
Whether it be a rainy day or just a ridiculous cold one,
a classic Black Trench Coat is sure to carry you
all through the day looking both stylish and fabulous
and at the same time be extremely warm and comfortable.
Trench Coats are awesome because pairing them
with a skirt and a cute blouse will instantly create a soft,
Parisian inspired feminine look, and paired with a
pair of jeans, heels and a nice bag will be the perfect
day time casual look. Investing in a black trench is one
of the most basic things I need to do & I really
love this classic cut trench from Topshop. The full length
creates a relaxed touch which is the style trend for this
season, the belt can easily add structure to any outfit
and the double breasted look is my personal favourite
when it comes to trenches. Paired with any of the items above,
this trench is a total winner.
