Birthday Wish List 2014

With my birthday just over a month away, I decided to put together a few things I would like for my birthday, but I would like to point out that I don't expect all or any of this, it is just a simple list of possible things I might pick from to treat myself.
River Island 
Black leather-look faux fur collar biker coat
I recently seen this coat in my local river island store and I instantly fell in love! I was going to buy it but it was a bit on the expensive side so I said I would wait a little while. This coat would be perfect for the winter especially in Ireland where it is freezing cold and always raining, the only downside to this coat is there is no hood, but I would work around that. So at the price of €113.00 I think it would be an investment.
River Island
Camel colour block waterfall Jacket
When I was on the RI website I seen this lovely jacket and I think this would be a great addition to my wardrobe, it just looks so warm and comfy again perfect for the winters we have in Ireland. This jacket comes in at €95.00 and again it would be an investment.
River Island
 Black zip front block heel ankle boots
Again when I was on the RI website I seen these boots and knew they would be perfect for winter and would go with almost everything I own. These boots cost €50.00 which in my opinion is quite reasonable.
 Michael Kors
Medium Jet Set Saffiano Tote
If you follow my blog you may of seen my summer wish list which also featured this MK bag, Iv always wanted a Michael Kors bag so this had to be on my wish list. But at the price of €295.00 it maybe on my wish lists for a while, but who knows.
Shopping Trip
Every girl loves a shopping trip! I haven't gone on a shopping trip in a while and I would love to go to Dublin for my birthday and go to all my favourite shops. Hopefully if I have the time and money I might go to Dublin for the day and do some shopping!
The Sims 4
This was also featured on my Summer wish list but this game isn't available until September so I have added it to my birthday list! Ive been a huge fan of The Sims games since I was a child and I'm so excited for the latest game! I have also recently set up a Sims Blog for my creations if you would like to check it out it is VelvetVogueSims .
 Nikon D5200 with 18-55mm Lens
As some of you may know I have recently started a YouTube channel and I bought a camera for that purpose but I honestly didn't think it would be hard to film with a camera with no view finder, but it is. So I have been in search for a camera with a vari-angle display. The only problem here is the price, it seems any camera with a vari-angle display is quite expensive and being a student I just cant afford it. This camera costs €629 which is almost double what I paid for my other camera and so I have added it to my wish list, maybe I will win the Lotto and I can buy it (High Hopes)
That is it for my Birthday Wish List 2014, I hope you all enjoyed reading.
If you have any suggestions for a camera for filming videos please do let me know :)
Thank you for reading

Back To School Outfits - New Look, Topshop, River Island & Boohoo.com

Hey Beauties! Today I have a Back To School fashion post for you!
Iv been looking around online for outfits for myself for going back to college and I thought it would be fun to put together a few outfits for you all, so here they are! These looks range in price from High to Low.
Look #1
Topshop Outfit
This outfit was created from the Topshop website only
There is nothing like comfort when you are going to school/college, well for me especially because I have to travel a good distance each day, so with that in mind I chose a simple edgy jeans and t-shirt look.
I am honestly in love with checkered shirts, so I chose this Red Mix And Match Check Shirt, I then paired it with a simple graphic T-shirt, which in my opinion is funny because no one likes Monday's!
For the bottom half I picked the MOTO Black Ripped Jamie Jeans to keep with the edgy look, I then paired them with the TIKA2 High Vamp Skaters.
To finish off the look I chose the Dolphin Mood Stone and Tattoo Choker Pack and a Premium Leather Backpack, this backpack is perfect for back to school/college as it is a large enough size.
Shirt - £30.00
T-shirt - £30.00
Jeans - £42.00
Shoes- £20.00
Necklace - £12.50
Bag - £100.00

Look #2
River Island Outfit
This outfit was created from the River Island website only
Again with comfort in mind I created this fashion forward look.
For the top half I picked another Graphic T-shirt and paired with this Black check oversized coat. For the bottom half I picked the Black Molly reform Jeggings and then paired them with grey snake print slip on trainers. To finish off the outfit I added a silver tone chevron statement ring, a dark grey trilby hat and a black fold over smart rucksack.

For is look I went with a more of a preppy style. Instead of just jeans and a t-shirt I went with a grey short sleeve check tunic dress. I paired this dress with a black double pocket twill duster coat. For the shoes I picked these cute black open back strap chunky heel boots. For jewellery I picked a simple black diamante heart pendant choker necklace. To add a bit of colour to this outfit I picked this cute pale blue double flap snakeskin panel satchel.
