Weekend Wishing #3

Weekend Wishing #3


OH, HEY STRANGERS! Sorry, guys. I've been swamped in work over the past two weeks but I finally have found the time to put some of my focus on Niamh Etc. About time, I know.

So without further-ado, this is the 3rd instalment of my 'Weekend Wishing' series. This time, however, I've added in a hairstyle I've really been loving atm. Following my shock horror over Bey's new pixie cut (NOOO), I'm even more into long locks. The ~Del Rey~ I guess you could call it! Who could say no to big, voluminous 60s inspired hair? NOBODY.

The main item I've been lusting after for what seems like 568678598 years (3 months actually)is this gorgeous heavily embellished top from ASOS. The main word that comes to mind when I see it is glam. Pair this with some vintage Levi denim shorts and you get the epitome of laid-back chic glamour. 

I'm really loving the white Lulu Guinness inspired lips clutch from Nastygal. It would definitely add a bit of quirkiness to any outfit whether dressed up or casual which is always a plus!

If you've been a reader of mine over the past 2 months you would probably know that I'm a major fan of court heels. They give any outfit a sophisticated look. I consider them a wardrobe stable.

A nice touch of OPI Chic From Ears To Tail nail polish adds a bit of girliness to any look and this bubblegum pink shade is perfect for the last few weeks of summer that we have left.


Again a handful of midi rings sets off the look. I already have a few midi rings at the mo but I'd love to add the dainty pieces, á la the initial ring from Topshop, to my collection. 

And I am still on the hunt for finding the perfect nudey pink lipstick. All suggestions are welcome!

Hope you like all of the stuff on this weekend's wishlist. I shall be back in full blogging swing next week with some outfit posts and maybe a few reviews, who knows?!

Weekend Wishing

Weekend Wishing #1

1,2345678, 9

Being a broke student with expensive taste can be annoying as hell but with payday coming around next week for me (THANK GOD), I thought I'd share my wishlist of all the things I've wanted all month but didn't have quite enough $$$ to splurge!

1* I saw this pink textured tee in Topshop the other day and I immediately wanted to try it on. Yes, I know it looks kinda bland and boring on screen but in person it is really pretty. Along with its 60s vibe, I think what I like most about it is its colour. A girl can never have too much pink, right?

2* So who hasn't seen this Zara skort on a handful of blogs recently? Almost nobody? Thought so. This skort is just gorgeous and ideal for the summer, espesh in white - my fave.

3* In my last post, you would have seen that I'm quite the fan girl for pointed courts. These studded mint green pair from River Island are right on trend at the moment and will virtually go with anything, adding a nice pop of pretty pastel-filled colour. Lovely.

4* This clutch is on sale in Zara right now so I'm hoping there'll be one waiting for me in my local one next time I'm in. The tiger print is what caught my eye and it's a nice change from the standard leopard print found on most things as well.

5* A chunky gold chain has quickly become one of my wardrobe essentials this year and this XL version from ASOS will be mine! I've been coming back to it every time I'm on the site so I think now might be a good time to bite the bullet and get it. I've recently been layering up my dainty and chunky gold chains (2 Chainz, eat your heart out), but this extra large chain will be just enough on its own to make a bold statement.   

6* I've been loving wearing midi rings this year as well. This finger candy is subtle but chic at the same time. Can't go wrong!

7* Basically I want a YSL Rouge Volupté lipstick for the packaging alone! Being the notorious hoarder that I am, I'd quite like a whole collection of them. But speaking in practical terms, one in Nude Beige would do the job. This colour would go with most complexions and is right up my street tbh.

8* The Revlon nail polish in Posh seems like the perfect shade for summer. It's bright and catches the eye. I like clashing my nails with my outfits (wild, I know).

9* And finally, I am dying to download Kanye West's newest album Yeezus. I've already heard a few of the tracks on Spotify and after a few listens, I've really grown to like it. My fave songs from the album are New Slaves, Black Skinhead and Blood On The Leaves. Yes, some people love him, some hate him but I have to say I'm a massive fan of North West's dad. That name still makes me lol.


Have a good weekend.
