Currently Coveting | May Edition

Pretty things, pretty pretty things.  Call me frivolous, but I reckon the things we surround ourselves with can alter our entire mood and general outlook.  They can alter our days, weeks, months.  It's why we love fashion, interior design, art etc.  It goes without saying, everything in moderation... but can we just take a moment to swoon over a few 'pretty things' for this beautiful season?  So looking at this wishlist, can you tell I've got a thing for blush/nude shades right now?  Combine them with gentle floral prints and you've got yourself a beautifully feminine, romantic wardrobe prepared for these warmer months of the year...

Danse Lente Bag  //  Chloé Nile bracelet bag  //  Ted Baker Beccaa dress  //  Ted Baker Nicee maxi dress  //  Seafolly Love Bird bikini  //  Kurt Geiger Carvela sandals  //  Saint Laurent crocodile brooch  //  Gucci double G crystal brooch  //  Hourglass blush  //  Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow  //  Charlotte Tilbury eye lash curlers

First of all, you've got to help me.  I've fallen for a bag and can't get up.  Danse Lente is a new brand introduction for me, having discovered them just a few days ago via Net-a-Porter.  The Mia Smooth and textured-leather shoulder bag (top left) is the perfect size for SS18 and features the most gorgeous gold hoop strap attachments.  Chloé also know exactly what they're doing and are continuously bringing out handbags that shoot to the top of everyone's wishlists.  They're quite literally designed to be coveted.  Right now, I've got my eye on the Chloé Nile bracelet bag in blush

Notice the matching floral patterns?  Ted Baker have won me over with their ethereal prints this season, including the Harmony ruffle-neck dress and matching pleated maxi dress.  Do I hear you say wedding guest outfit?  The maxi dress was inspired by the beauty of an English garden.  Now, I don't know which English garden this is, but wow I need to visit...

Keeping with the theme of floral prints, if you follow along with my IG Stories, you'll have spotted the most gorgeous Seafolly bikini from Cocobay Swimwear.  Quite possibly my favourite warm-weather gift to have received lately, because it features every flattering element you can imagine: generous soft cups, underwire, extra removable booster pads (oh yes) and hipster pants.  Seriously, take a look at the Seafolly Love Bird range, it tells a 'nostalgic and feminine story consisting of old world charm and romance, reminiscent of a traditional French inspired trend'.  Beautiful.

Can you ever have too many pairs of block-heeled sandals in your wardrobe?  The answer should be obvious and if not, it's time to treat yourself to a new pair!  I'm currently coveting these Carvela Kansas nude studded heels by Kurt Geiger.  Perfect heel height and gorgeously versatile for switching from outfit to outfit.  Plus, it helps they have an obvious Valentino vibe to them!

My favourite element of this month's currently coveting edition is undoubtedly the brooches.  They're totally unnecessary in the very best of ways.  Right now, I'm imagining adorning denim jackets and trench vests with the Saint Laurent crocodile brooch and Gucci double G crystal brooch.  Divine.  If you've got a birthday coming up, be sure to hint in this direction.

Okay and finally, the itty-bitty prettiest things.  Cosmetics.  Anyone else find themselves falling into the gravitational pull of pink/blush shades right now?  The warmer weather screams for healthy glows and flushed cheeks.  With this in mind, I'm curious about the Hourglass ambient lighting blush - and it's not a wishlist without a mention of Charlotte Tilbury, right?  Hello Filmstar Bronze & Glow.  Not at all surprised this is a bestseller, and the same could be said for their eye lash curlers.  Remind me again why I'm not already using these?!  

What's on your wishlist right now?

Anything catch your eye?

With love,
