I'm Lusting After...Pastels

Necklace | Nail Varnish | Lipstick | Bag | Dress Surprised? Of course you're not. I was going to cave in to pastel wish lists eventually and it just so happened that this week was the week. With the evenings getting ever-so slightly lighter and the sunshine making an appearance through the crisp cold mornings I'm dreaming of adding lighter colours to the monochrome, grey and tartan uniform.

The bag had me at hello. It didn't actually say hello but if it did it would have whispered it seductively and conned me out of £45. With a structured look and vintage geometric print it's right up my alley anyway without adding in such pretty pastel tones to bring it up to first place on my hand written wish list. It's more than I would usually pay for a high street trend led accessory but pastels don't seem to ever be going anywhere in the Spring and Summer so I could really call this an investment, right? The necklace is something I spotted the other day in store and just can't get out of my head but for only £18 it's a little pick me up that'll keep giving.

I'm utterly in love with this mint green dress with white daisy embroidery around the collar and sleeve cuffs. I can imagine this with heels, flats, a cardigan, without, bright pink lips, nude lips, an up do, long flowing hair - well, you get the point. This is a piece that could work with pretty much everything and I want it right now so I can wear it with thick black tights, ankle boots and a long oversized open black cardigan.

Lastly, a few new additions are needed to my make up bag to bring things up to date. I love how Venus Flytrap is a little brighter while still remaining not-exctly-neon so it could make a well loved alternative to the abundance of mint and earthy greens in my collection. I love the formula of the Topshop lipsticks too and Macaroon looks like it's just waiting to be picked up and loved to a nub.

Are you lusting after pastels this Spring?
