This is another round of five picks and I know I haven't updated this blog for a week. Don't fret, I haven't forgotten, I've just been enjoying my mid-semester break. All of these five pieces I have been eyeing for quite some time and I thought I would share them in this round of five picks.

For the past two months, I've been finding the perfect wrap skirt. This has been a 'struggle', (but lets face it, there is more to the world than finding the perfect skirt) mainly because I couldn't find any in stores locally or they weren't at a suitable price point. However, this skirt from ASOS is virtually perfect and at a great price too! Combine it with student discounts and free shipping, I might have to order it for myself.

I know that I have placed an emphasis on building the wardrobe basics, but one trendy piece won't hurt right? This applique top is feminine but is edgy and dark at the same time. This top is great for layering especially when it is coming into winter here in Australia. This can be paired with a black skater skirt for an ultra feminine date night outfit or combat boots for some edgy glam.

ASOS FLIRT Sandals

For my final pick, I chose these pair of sandals. A simple black sandal is a wardrobe staple which can be easily paired with anything especially denim shorts on hot summer days. This sandal also comes in an electric orange colour which can add a pop of colour  to any outfit. The only things that stopped me from buying the orange pair was that I couldn't really wear it with anything. I've bought three of these items already and I may buy a fourth. Take a guess. Hope you enjoyed this round of five picks.

five picks from topshop

Well it looks like I have been window shopping online again. Procrastination levels are at an all time high - I should really submit myself for some counselling based on procrastination alone. Topshop is a store which I don't go as often as I would like so that means I am constantly browsing through its online store. In this round of five picks, I have found pieces which would be great for both the spring and fall depending on which hemisphere you exist in.

The floral calf skirt is definitely a flirty yet feminine piece - something I wished I had back in the spring. It is also at a longer length as well which is a definite plus if you are caught in some compromising positions (let's hope that is not the case). Florals are a never ending trend for spring - and as I type this I can hear Miranda Priestly saying "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking." The patchwork shift dress has taken a more modern edge. It is a neutral floral with hints of mint placed in a patchwork fashion which works well for the dress. It can be a great dress for the workplace and can easily transition into an outfit for a night out.

The lace top featured above is pretty much perfect in my eyes. The lace detailing adds texture to an otherwise plain outfit and creates interest without being too over the top. Other the other hand, this denim jacket would be great for me this season. I have been trying to look for one without any luck. This jacket is just one of many on the market and I hope I can get hands on one soon.

Hopefully you enjoyed this round of five from Topshop. If you have any finds from Tophop, comment down below because I would love to see them.

Sometimes I do find myself drifting off from study and doing a spot of online window shopping (does this even exist?). ASOS is definitely an online store which I visit quite often. They have a wide array of clothing item to suit virtually anyone. Resisting to make daily purchases is quite difficult especially when we have student discounts and free shipping. I thought I would share five items which I have been lusting over the past week.

ASOS Midi Dress with Long Sleeves

Coming into fall here in Australia, this long sleeve midi dress is absolutely perfect for coping with the Autumn weather. The sleeves are great for those chilly Autumn mornings and would be great for a casual day out. However, what is stopping me from buying this dress is that it is a midi skirt and I'm not sure how it would sit on my 5'3" stature (by all means I'm not calling myself short). If I were to purchase this, some alterations would definitely have to be made.

If you have noticed, I've been trying to work a neutral palette for the fall and these items would definitely fit right in. Also, I have placed a greater emphasis on more basic, classic pieces which would transcend several seasons. If you would like to follow the series which I have been posting about, you can read them here. Hopefully these pieces will be a part of my wardrobe for the upcoming fall.
