OOTD • Blacked-Out

Hi everyone!

I wore this simple but gorgeous FD Avenue fringed dress yesterday night! Being a jersey dress makes it perfect for the current hot weather as it is so lightweight and soft. And its fringes make it look even more summery and fun in my opinion. I had first styled it with my white Converse as I wanted to give it a sporty feel, but I didn't quite like how the outfit turned out. My trusty Jeffrey Campbell came to the rescue once again and I think it looked ten times better styled with this pair. 

I accessorised the outfit with a silver chunky chain necklace and two rings - a black rivet ring and a silver ring with leaf detailing.  I had mentioned that I wanted the black ring in my latest wishlist, and I love it even more in real life! It fits me perfectly too! While browsing the Persunmall website, I also fell in love with the leaf ring, but unfortunately it is a bit too small for my somewhat chubby fingers. Nonetheless, I wore it as a knuckle ring, so SCORE! I then finished off the look with Topshop's Lip Bullet in the shade 'Rockabilly' (also mentioned in my July wishlist). I can't stress enough how much I love this colour, and I seem to be wearing it each time I go out!

July Wishlist

Hi everyone!

After failing to post my monthly wishlists since April, I am finally back on track!  Even though I'm already looking forward to wear my beloved winter clothes again, the Maltese weather will not permit me to do so until around November. In keeping with the current weather conditions, the items in this wishlist are very summery and somewhat colourful.

1) Star Spangled dungarees

I have been eyeing the gorgeous Waiste dungarees since forever, but I couldn't decided on which one I liked best. For obvious reasons, I couldn't get them all. So after spending literally around 2 months (or more?) deliberating on which one I should get, I finally settled for this black denim one with star details on the front panel. I love the fact that I can dress them up with a pair of black heels or down by wearing a pair of converse, so they are currently a must-have piece to add to my summer wardrobe.

2) Hamsa Hand and Elephant metal bangles

While browsing the Urban Outfitters website after learning that they are finally delivering to Malta - whoop! - I came across these gold dainty bangles with hanging charms. Instant love. 

3) Rivet rings

Keeping on the jewellery theme, these rivet rings from Persunmall also caught my eyes. I first decided that I wanted the black one since I don't have any black rings of that sort. However, I then came to the conclusion that they would also look great if worn layered. So, yes, I want all three of them now! 

4) Gertrude V Neck Playsuit in Wild Daisy Print

I made it a point that I want to introduce some more colour to my summer wardrobe. This Motel playsuit was perfect since it still had the black base colour that I dearly love, but also a pop of colour thanks to the pretty daisy print. Perfect for festivals or any other summer day, this playsuit retails for only £48.00. And don't forget that you can get 20% off your Motel Rocks purchases by using the code 'annalisegrech' at checkout!

5) Lip Bullet in Heartbeat

I purchased Topshop's Lip Bullet in the shade Rockabilly while I was on holiday in Glasgow earlier this month. I loved this lipstick so much that I went on their website to hunt down some other shades that I like - I really liked Heartbeat for the summer months. Unfortunately, this shade is currently sold out on the website, so let's hope that my local Topshop still has it in store.

6) Colour Print shorts

While on the Persunmall website, I also spotted these colour print shorts. I immediately fell in love with their sport luxe feel, so these will soon be added to my wardrobe too. I can already imagine myself teaming them with a plain black tee, a chunky necklace and a pair of black or coloured heels! 

7) Sacha Neon Slipper shoes

I am not a neon person, but I can see myself wearing these River Island sandals in summer nonetheless. If I'm not mistaken, I had seen similar pairs in Topshop and Primark, but I somehow prefer the River Island ones. The touch of neon really makes a difference!

Are any of these items on your wishlist too? What's on your July wishlist?
