This seems to be turning into an annual thing..! That ‘back to school’ feeling hasn’t shaken, despite now going into my second year of university, so I decided to put together another wish list..or rather, list of things I’ll blow my student loan on when it finally appears in my account. I always attribute going back to ‘school’ with new things..shiny shoes, a winter coat, a new pencil case. Well, I’ve upped my game a little as I’ve got older..take a look at what my new list contains:
1. Knee high socks from Tabio. You know where the inspiration for these has come from! It’s getting colder and colder here so I could do with something pretty to keep my legs warm. How cute do they look styled with those t-bars?
2. Vintage canvas shopper from None Such Things. I don’t know how many tote bags I’ve got, it’s getting ridiculous. I have a large tote bag just to keep my tote bags in..! But I just had to post about this one..I’m very fond of Amanda’s little shop and this bag would be the perfect addition to my collection, helping me lug my laptop in every day.
3. Trench coat from Zara. My current trench is looking at a little sad and worse for wear, and when I saw this classic looking tan number from Zara, it had to go on the list. I know, I know, I don’t need any more coats, but it’s nice to look at – the perfect thing to sling on when I’m running for the bus..in the rain..!
4. Knitted scarf from Zara. I just love this colour! I don’t think I need to explain why I want a new scarf…I live in England, they are going to be compulsory very soon. Eek!
5. Envelope wallet from Zara. I’ve gone a bit Zara crazy since they opened their online shop, isn’t it amazing? This little purse is on the list because it’s just too adorable, anyway, you’ll need something to carry your new student ID in, right?
6. Born Again Vintage from Amazon. I always like a little light reading on the bus journey to university. I don’t think i’ve caught on to the whole e-book thing, so i’ll happily drag along the ‘real thing’. It makes the travelling a lot more bearable (and possibly those boring library inductions).
7. I Love London Lunchbox from Pussyhomeboutique. This shouldn’t really be on my wishlist, because I’ve already bought it..oooops! Every year I tell myself i’m going to stop paying for the overpriced paninis in the canteen, so I bought myself this little lunchbox on my trip to Brighton to inspire me to make sandwiches!
8. Heels from Topshop. How much do these look like the famous Chloe silverado shoes?! Okay, so perhaps a bit of a pastiche, but that doesn’t mean I want them any less. Perhaps a little bit impractical for a ‘back to school’ list, but i’m getting very good on my heels now..it takes practice ladies!
9. Lipstick from Topshop. A little bit daring for me, but i’ve loved the Topshop campaign images with the girls in their camel capes and dark lips..i’m thinking about giving it a try…perhaps the night before uni though (remember doing that before a mufti day at school?!).

A lovely wishlist! The socks are a particular favourite. I’ve just invested in 3 lovely pairs of knee high socks to keep my legs warm now the days are getting chilly. I may have to get these ones too though as I love the colour! I’m searching for some cute t-bar shoes to complete the look but I can’t find the perfect pair…have you got any suggestions? x
wow, that list is perfect ^^ I agree with the idea of you giving a chance to the lipstick! The color is great and can work with so many looks**
I love everything! Especially the tote and the trench
I love it! You have such wonderful taste.
Amazing post
Such cute picks! I love how you’ve laid it out and everything… Delightful work! ♥
i have just bought the mac disney villains lipstick in a very similar colour to this topshop one. i was a bit nervous about it but it actually looks really nice on! i have mousey brown hair and green/hazel eyes, i’m sure it would look great on you, too!
a very nice list! xx
Darling, Carrie!
Your whole wish list is fantastic. I feel like you and I have VERY similar tastes. I love love love all the Zara items…and that lunchbox! So adorable.
I really love the knee socks with the t-strap shoes.
XOXO-

Awww i’m in love with the lunchbox!
thanks for sharing this list – made me discover a new website with adorable things! 
That Zara Envelope Clutch is *juuust* what I’m looking for – so cute! I do like the dark dark lip colour too, but slightly too scared to try it atm!
I live in London also – we should grab a coffee sometime!
Have loooved you blog for a while now! Adding you to my blogroll if that’s okay m’dear?
I love back to school shopping even though I am out of school
Got my lunch box delivered actually 2 of them and they are so cute. Will keep one and give away one as a birthday present for my dear niece. thank you.
That tote is incredible! But the Topshop lipstick is a great colour, but it hardly lasts at all! You can get a similar one in MAC though…
No secret that knee-high socks is a fav of mine! Also, I dashed out to get a Topshop lipstick when they first started this range, love all shades, I got it in ‘Dare Devil Red’! xoxo
Love the heels!!
Awesome, your so fashionable. I like your style. Oh by the way, speaking of lunch box, you might like to try a >stainless steel tiffin bento box. I know you’ll love it because this lunch box is designed for you. It’s stylish, safer than plastic, reusable, durable, eco-friendly and of course very easy to use. Try it. =)
