Topshop Treats

Topshop Treats

Topshop Treats by ambreengharshia featuring jacquard pants

1) Triangle Shard Drop Earrings - These are so awesome. I've only started getting into the whole neon trend in the past couple of months, which, I know is like a bazillion years after everyone else. I'm still playing it safe though, sticking with neon accessories rather than clothing. I think these would look great with any outfit, just to add that unexpected pop of colour. Hence, they are on the top of my ever-growing wish list.
2) Scratch Graffiti Midi Dress - I'm jumping on to the whole midi dress bandwagon a tad bit late aswell. Topshop have got lots and lots of midi dresses at the moment, in quite a large range of colours and patterns. If you're not big on patterns, they do some really nice solid colours which would look amazing paired with a slouchy knit. Because, hey, we are still in February people.
3) Adonis2 Cut Out Heavy Boots - Everybody and their mothers have these boots I think. Who cares though, when they look this bloody cool. I'm totally willing to blend in with crowd, for sake of these boots!
4) Jacquard Cigarette Trousers - I really, really like these trousers. They're a bright colour, and have a pattern of sorts but it's not in-your-face-omg-look-at-me. Hence, why I think I would wear them. I'm trying to justify why I would want to buy them, but I don't think I need to really. I mean, look at them! They're beautiful.
5) 3 Colour Block Shirt - The name says it all really. This is definitely not something I would go for, but I think it would make a really nice Spring/Summer addition to anybodies (including mine) wardrobe. I like how it has a half-sleeve, so convenient for summer! Not that we ever get a proper summer in England.
6) ABC Print Split Maxi Skirt - Yet another maxi I want to add to my collection. It's cool. Like uber cool. I also know that everybody will most probably be wearing it. I still don't care, I think that there's so many ways to style it, so it would be worth the money.
7) Cord Box Chain Collar - There's such a Spring feel to this necklace. It would look so good with an oversized white shirt, buttoned right up and this thrown on. Plus, it's neon!
8) Ready T-bar Buckle Sandals - Heels, heels, heels. I am so in love these. The fact that they are white and black is the main attraction for me. They would look so good with almost anything I think. They also have a burgundy and black pair!

This is the first time I've used Polyvore, I'm still trying to figure out how it works! Just thought I'd show you my favourite items from Topshop this week. I'm thinking of doing some for Zara, Miss Selfridge etc etc. Would you be interested? Let me know!

Have a great weekend!

With luck, it might even snow for us

After Dark - Haruki Murakami



We had the tiniest dusting of snow in Manchester over the past two days. Most of it has melted everywhere, but there was still some on Beech Road. Irsa finally came round, and we managed to take a few pictures. I know they're not amazing, but it was really, really, really ridiculously cold! Plus, my camera was in a bad mood, and most of the pictures were coming out really awful. 
Now, I'm off to finish my English portfolio (the one I haven't even started yet) and Irsa's busy with her Architecture work. 
I'm hoping we get time to see each other again in the next week or two, and then we can actually do a decent blog post. 
Have a great weekend!

You can never visit the same place twice. Each time, it's a different story

Maureen Johnson - The Last Little Blue Envelope


I would start by apologising for the heavy imagery, but there was no shorter way of summarising my trip.
As you can see, like Ambreen, I too escaped from Manchester for a quick holiday. I took a short break to Germany and Holland with family; my second holiday in the space of two months, what better way to start the year?

A dew of silver light was ever falling

J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings





Everyone enjoy boxing day shopping?
I was feeling slightly lazy this morning and ended up getting out of the house at about 3pm; not good when the shops close at 5pm!
 2 hours is not enough time for when going sale shopping. But I did manage to pick up this amazing necklace from new look at the bargain price of only £5! .. but shhh, that's just between us.
