Hi beauties,
So this week my summer holiday got booked (*happy dance*) and i couldn't help but jump onto the Internet and search for some holiday clothing, topshop surprised me very much so with some lovely swimwear! So my beach loving self took over to bring you this wish list!
This i sort of put together myself, i hate it when you can't get a top and bottom together, come on topshop do i have to do all the work myself?! Then again they've provided both a beautiful floral print top, which would really compliment a nice summer tan, and a fantastic pair of high waisted bottoms! paired with some coordinating sandals and a pair of round statement sunglasses can you really go wrong?!
You can find these lovelies...

Bottoms-here
Sandals-here
Sunnies-here
The second bikini is just a really cute and fun print for summer, i decided coordinating colours was my thing today, and so my nail varnish, sunnies (which are perfect) and cute little sandals all tie in perfectly with the print! Yellow is the perfect bold and fresh colour for summer!
You can find these lovelies...

There are so many bikinis out at the moment that i would quite happily make room for in my suitcase this summer, stupid topshop an their stupid prices! (sorry topshop, i love you really!) So I'll be back very soon, maybe even with a video? what do you think to that, let me know!

Spring is coming wish list!
Hi beauties,
They've announced it, oh yes, spring is on the horizon! *happy dance* No more snow, no more darkness, and no more cold! (that last bit's not guaranteed, i do live in England after all...) Still what better time to whip out the spring wardrobe and prepare for warm (make that warmer) weather?!
The neon trend is massive this spring and i refuse to be left behind! There is nothing better than neon orange when surrounded by black and white, the necklace is a prime example! And can you ever go wrong with a pair of shorts, some platform sandals and a ruckie when it's warm?! These shoes are amazing, no matter how much i get the feeling they wouldn't suit me at all, i love them! Leaving only the retro circular sunnies which i can't seem to get enough of, i really need a pair for summer!
You can buy this outfit...
Top-here
Shorts-here
Bag-here
Shoes-here
Necklace-here
T-shirt dresses are everywhere at the moment and they look fantastic for a bit of casual dress, i really need some for my warm weather outfits this spring/summer. White is also an odd trend this year, and its popping up all over the place, to be fair i love it! especially white leather, there's something very cool and summery about white leather jackets! The sandals are a must for warmth, and the necklace is a nice statement for the casual feel of the dress. The contrast of the bag and sunnies is brilliant, and done in such a fantastic colour!
You can buy this outfit...

As you can tell i am very much so looking forward to warm weather and some sun, probably like the rest of the population! Also i really want to know how everyone else is going to be styling in the warmer weather to come, do tell! Bye bye for now beauties!

Alexa Chung style crush!
Hi beauties,
First, we all love Alexa Chung. Second, she has a beautiful wardrobe. Third, she used to date Alex Turner. Any other reasons to do a wish list inspired by the goddess are welcome!
First lets start festival style, we've all seen her strolling around festivals with Alex, and no matter how beautiful he is you always notice her style. The high waisted shorts, striped top and leather jacket being a personal favourite!
You can buy this outfit...
Shorts-here
Sunglasses-here
Top-here
Jacket-here
Shoes-here
Bag-here
The second outfit best resembles why i love Alexa and her style. Shes quirky, indie and rocky! She plays with many elements in her outfits, however the leather jacket is clearly a staple in her wardrobe. And when mixed with a pair of quirky sunnies and docs can you really argue?
You can buy this outfit...
T-shirt-here
Jacket-here
Shoes-here
Bag-here
Skirt-here
Sunglasses-here
We've established many things here: 1-Issy adores Alexa and her style, 2-Issy adores Alexa's ex boyfriend 3- Alexa is perfect! She's a massive inspiration for me and my style and i just can't get enough of her. i know i'm not alone in saying i love alexa! I'll be back this weekend for a post or two, until then have a lovely friday, Bye beauties!

It's time for a haul!
Hello beauties,
Just a mini hall for you lovely lot! This post has taken ages to get published for way too many reasons, i therefore bought most of the following in February! I love doing hauls! Lets get started!
Just a mini hall for you lovely lot! This post has taken ages to get published for way too many reasons, i therefore bought most of the following in February! I love doing hauls! Lets get started!
- MUA lipsticks: So, I came across this brand when in town with my friend, I suppose I assumed it to be quite an expensive brand however it's not at all for the quality of the stuff! At £1 for a lipstick could you really resist? I certainly couldn't! I got two, one In an extremely red colour (i'm talking neon red!) and one slightly darker! A new found obsession with red lipsticks?!
- Barry m nail varnish 'berry ice cream': As you may have seen from my nail varnish wish list I love pastel nail varnishes! And I wanted to try out a Barry M one, I did want prickly pear however it was quite dark compared to berry ice cream so I opted with this one instead! I'm glad i did as its lovely and shiny plus has a really cute and girly look when on. I've bought Barry m nail varnish before although I've never just bought a colour, I only ever buy a Barry m effect; like the glitter or crackle effect. So I was really surprised by the quality of the paint! For such a light colour I expected a really clear paint that took a few coats, however i only needed one coat! Overall great purchase!
- Topshop lace/crochet crop top: In a previous wish list I talked about a lace crop top that was to die for! And a few days later I spotted it on ebay, brand new with labels going for about sixteen pounds. So Instantly i bid because I'd been contemplating buying it at £22.00 in topshop itself and i won, never been so proud!
- Topshop roll up polka dot jeans: (what a mouthful!) Best. Jeans. Ever. I love them, I've spent a lot of time in the topshop sales and to be honest I couldn't be any more proud of the jeans I've got. Everyone knows I adore polka dots. These jeans are brill. Especially for £25.00!
- Topshop American flag high wasted shorts: I bought these for three reasons- A)perfect shorts for holidaying this year B)they fit perfect and of course... C) they were a tenner!
- Republic skater dress: So republics had a massive clearance going on over the last few months and I had wanted the topshop version of this dress, however at £26.00 in topshop and £14.40 in republic I think you get my reasoning! I'd supply a picture however my camera decided to give up on me!
So beauties i hope you enjoyed this baby haul, and look forward to another very soon! Until next time bye beauties!

Festival anyone?
Hi beauties,
I'm currently up to my eyeballs in revision and homework but here i am again to bring you a sweet little festival wish list! With Leeds and reading, T in the park and the mother of all festivals: Glastonbury, announcing their line ups it got me right in the spirit for a bit of festival outfit wishing! I might do a few of these because I'm loving this years festival look!
The first outfit features the much loved dungarees, the ultimate festival wear! Now although i love this, I'm starting to think that summer in England + mud =... Still though i love how it goes with a really bold print shirt, for instance this jungle print crop top! Excellent for summer! This rucksack is fantastic, real leather bags i love you! But the wellies are key, look at them, hunter wellies be mine?!
Dungarees-here

The second is a great summer outfit, the bralet is excellent for summer and the high wasted shorts make for great festival fun! The collar and rucksack coordinate perfectly. (Rucksacks are excellent for festivals, and this one looks great with the crop top!) More hunter wellies, really Issy, really? I can't help it, they're the best looking wellies about and fit with the colours in the top excellently! I just adore summer style!

Prom wish list!
Hi beauties,
It may not be my own prom but that is no reason not to get excited about all the beautiful stock many shops have just brought in. Because, and lets face it, they're gorgeous! So i welcome you to a prom wish list, for anyone who either likes a good dress up, or is actually attending a prom!
Now, i don't think these are very traditional looks for a prom, however, the long dress just isn't something i think is compulsory. The way i see it, go with how you like to dress. If a beautiful long dress is what you like or feel comfortable in then go for it, i just don't think you should have to if it's not what you feel good or comfortable in!
The first dress is really beautiful, the detailing just screams for attention and the fact its sligthly open at the back means its perfect for a hair up look! I found the bag on asos, now i thought it said eighteen pounds, apparently i missed a zero... Still I'm not about to change it as i think it goes really nicely With the more calm colours. The shoes are quite simple, theres not much to them yet they have a very sophisticated and elegant look. finally i went with 'carnival' nail varnish by topshop!

The second is perfect for a spring/summer prom, pastel in my eyes is a perfect prom dress colour! The bag is a cute little accessory, which in most cases isn't needed but i just love the little corner details! The earrings and necklace (Which had to be a statement!) were both chosen to coordinate the other aspects of the outfit; the gold bag corners and dress colour. The nail colour is 'milkshake' by topshop which i just feel boosts the summer feel even more with a really elegant colour! Finally those beautiful shoes, which keep in line with the peach/samon colour and branch out with a really summery heel! All in all, a perfect warm spring outfit!

I'm quite excited for my own prom after all that dress hunting! I hope you took something away from this, even if its just the fact that you love prom dresses, like me! I shall see you soon but until then, bye beauties!

Another Lush review!
Hey beauties!
So what have you stumbled upon today?! Well my lovelies, today i welcome you to a third lush review! (Feel free to check out the other- here) Last week i ran out of my beautiful lush Herbalism cleanser... It was a sad time for us all... Although it had lasted me two months, which the assistant had assured me, so i was pretty impressed! Now as you may have gathered i adore herbalism and its effects, however i hate having to create a paste to apply. It's too much effort, i need something quicker! Therefore i decided to try something a bit different: fresh pharmacy!

Now as you may have gathered i adore herbalism and its effects, however i hate having to create a paste to apply. It's too much effort, i need something quicker! Therefore i decided to try something a bit different: fresh pharmacy!
As you may recall, this stuff is a bar off soap which you wash your face with! In other words, no messing about! Now for me, a sensitive skinned teenager, this works great for my skin. It gives my skin a lovely feeling and clears it up nicely. I'm rather impressed in honesty! Do you see why i love lush?! I'd give this a delightful 4/5 (The smell doesn't wow me, I'm so picky!)
IT DOESN'T STOP THERE!
I also got some vanishing cream, a moisturiser by lush! You might remember me trying this and adoring its existence? It's perfect, in every way! My skin feels soft, underneath make up it makes my face feel a lot fresher, it clears my skin perfectly, it smells like heaven in a tub... I could go on! The price is ridiculous, but it's so good! In all fairness you don't need to use a lot, but it's still stupidly priced!
I apolagise for my little lush worshiping there, but you honestly can't beat it! I don't see myself swapping for a different brand any time soon! i'll see you tomorrow for a wish list, but until then, goodbye beauties!
