In June, I have decided to create the Realistic wishlist out of pieces that can be found within your local supermarket - why not get a cute little dress or rocking pair of shoes while buying that loaf of bread, they are just as essential I would say!
The Realistic (All supermarket finds)
Animal Print Sundress, George @ Asda - £12; Pretty Polly Animal Print Tights, Tesco - £10; Pretty Polly Back-seam Tights, Tesco - £6; Yellow Bandeau Bikini Top, George @ Asda - £2.50; TIA by Made Triple Ring, and Hammered Brass Ring Tesco - £6 and £4; Metallic Tote Bag, Tesco - £12.50; Ella Shoes Metallic Peep-Toe Heels, Tesco - £22.
Total: £75
The Ultimate (All Net-A-Porter finds)
Leopard Print Cotton Blend Jersey Dress, Matthew Williamson - £395; Seamed 15 Denier Stockings, Agent Provocateur - £25; Tiger Printed Tights, Wolford - £35; Jonny D Ruched Bandeau Bikini Top, Norma Kamali - £170; Hinged Rose Gold-Plated Crystal Ring, Eddie Bongo - £365; Stacy Brass Snake Ring, Chloe - £175; Large Chelsea Leather Shoulder Bag, MICHAEL Michael Kors - £295; Idochine Leather and Patent Wedge Sandals, Camilla Skovgard - £395.
Total: £1855
If truth be told, the 'Ultimate' wishlist is probably never going to be within my grasp, I earn less money than i could in sacrifice to do what I love, so I think for that I can accept the 'Realistic' wishlist. Still it's nice to dream...
What be on your ultimate wishlist if money was no object?

I remember watching a programme about the making of Footballers Wives. The wardrobe manager said how she used supermarket clothes that were inspired by designer clothes to dress the wives.
ReplyDeleteI would spend big money on a classic piece but for current transient fashion I would rather nip to Tesco and get it for a tenner!

I'm with you - supermarket clothing used to be a bit naff, but it has come on in leaps and bounds!

I would spend a lot of money on something that would last me a lifetime, the Alexa bag by Mulberry is definitely on the top of my wish list. I'd also love a collection of designer leather jackets, I have one real leather one by Topshop and I've worn it every week since my boyfriend gave me it for Christmas 4 years ago :) xo

It is one of my dreams in like to own a Acne leather jacket - they are so gorgeous and so high quality, it would last forever.
DeleteUntil then my Matalan biker will do the job!

Every minute it changes, but if money was no object this very minute I would buy some Charlotte Olympia shoes!

I like this feature and the items you chose are so cool. I don't think there is much different between ultimate and realistic here. If money was no object I would buy endless amounts of Alannah Hill cardigans and dresses oh and maybe shoes too.
ReplyDeleteI do seem to recall that you are quite the Alannah hill fan - I don't blame you, her designs are awesome!

i love the ultimate bikini!!
ReplyDeletebut lets face the realistic one is just the same

Sometimes you just have to be realistic don't you!
