Stuff I Would Like For My Birthday...Part 2

This dress from Long Tall Sally, size 12.

Stuff I Would Like For My Birthday...Part 1

I have a birthday coming up next month and yesterday I spied these shoes which I think would make the perfect present, possibly to myself if no one else buys them for me. (I take a size 42 if anyone’s feeling generous...)

(Kidding.)

(Maybe.)

Wanted: Next Purple Boots

They will be mine in the next couple of weeks, I swear.

Wanted: Topshop Over The Knee Boots

I saw these boots in this week’s Look magazine and I love them! They are £120 though so I will either have to save up for them or hope they get reduced in a sale at some point. Or hope that somewhere makes a cheaper version of them. They are also available in black leather and black nubuck.

Wanted: Café Press T Shirts

This one:


And this one:

Wanted: Leather Jacket From Tall Girls

The only problem? It’s £150! I shall save up, beg for birthday money, and maybe see whether I can get it come April. (And hopefully it will be on sale by then.)

Wanted: Primark Purple Boots

Just £15 in Primark. If anyone sees these in Primark in a size 8, please buy them for me and I will Paypal you the money to send them to me. My local store doesn’t have them and don’t know whether they will get any more in. They also come in grey and I would take those in an 8 too.

Wanted: Faith Repul Blue Suede Boots

Aren’t these fabulous? Looks like I will be asking for £90 worth of Faith vouchers for Christmas, or hoping they going on sale to half price at least.

Wanted: Memma Boots By Faith

I’ve just spotted these Faith boots on Shoewawa. Amber, who blogged about them, reckons it will take a brave woman to wear these as they are a little too Pretty Woman. However, being so tall I think they will be more over-the-knee than thigh-high on me, so here’s hoping they don’t sell and are heavily reduced come the next sale! If you want them now they are £140 and are also available in white.

Wanted: Long Tall Sally Waistcoat

The new season items have started to arrive at Long Tall Sally and already I am in love. This waistcoat is my favourite item I’ve seen in the collection so far. I love that it can be styled as was intended: with a suit and button up shirt; and that can also be styled with jeans and boots as shown here. It is £45 at the moment so I am going to wait until the inevitable ‘mid-season’ sale before I buy it.

Priceless Shoes – Online Shopping!

When did that happen? How did I miss it? Anyway, I was planning to head up there at dinnertime hence my Googling of them. The site is very similar to the Barratts one (same company) and carries some of the same stock, but you can search by size on the Priceless site and that can only be a good thing. They go up to a UK 10 which is fab for me! I know what I need to look out for now but if they don’t have what I want at the store, I always have the online option to fall back on.

Blue peep toes £13
Silver Courts £8
Yellow wedges £6

Wanted: Silver Glitter Shoes

£20 in New Look

Actually, I could buy a whole lot of shoes in New Look.

Wanted: A New Winter Coat

Yes, I know this is not the best time to decide that I want a new winter coat. Shops have either got all of their new season items in or what’s left on the sale rack is either tiny or large, nothing in between. I think this is part of my whole ‘I’m bored with winter now’ thing that I talked about a few weeks ago. Part of the problem is that I saw the perfect coat at the beginning of the winter and didn’t buy it at the time due to the price. And now I am kicking myself for not doing so because of course it sold out in everything but a size 20 by the time it was reduced in the January sale. It was a tall ¾ length, in a lovely shade of bluey-teal. So I’m vowing here and now: next autumn when I see a fabulous coat that is not brown, black or grey and fits me perfectly, I will buy it then and there because waiting will more than likely mean missing out.

Wanted: Petula Boots by NYLA

How much do I want these suede boots from NYLA? They are an over the knee style which on me would be the perfectly knee high. They are also available in Black or Red. However, at $179.99 and from a site that doesn’t ship outside the US, they are not likely to become mine anytime soon.

Wanted: Silver Shoes from Dorothy Perkins

Now just £10 in the sale.

Wanted: Shoes from Matalan

These are just £12 and are so this season!

Wanted: Blue & Black Knit Dress from M&Co

This is down to £15 (from £30) in the tall range at M&Co and it’s fantastic! I’ve not been to an M&Co store that stocks the Tall range yet, I’ll have to venture to my nearest one at some point (it’s in a town that I don’t know though), and see what the lengths are like in sleeves and tops. I know the leg lengths are too short for me at 35” inside, but if you’re not quite as tall as me but find ‘longer length’ trousers too short in other stores, this could be your answer.

Wanted: New Season Buys from Tall Girls

How cute is this dress?! It’s £38 from Tall Girls and comes in brown, black, grey or white.

And I’ve yet to spot any high waisted jeans on the high street that have long enough legs for me. Could these be the answer at £45?

Wanted!

These would do instead of the LTS ones I posted the other day. In fact, I think I like them more. They’re £35 in the sale at Tall Girls.

Wanted!

The red ones. £45 at Long Tall Sally
