HAUL: River Island, Primani, Debenhams, Warehouse

Shopping, shopping, shopping

and a sneaky doughnut.. oops!

River Island heels SALE

Warehouse dress and skirt

Primark bits and pieces

Love the studs

One pound each accessories are too cute

Love the detail on this dress

Hi lovelies,

Above are my latest Haul buys. My favourite purchase is the Warehouse Spotlight dress with jewel detail on each shoulder. Simply my fav because it was a stunning £12.00 in the sale... incredible price don't you think?

There seems to be a running theme with this Haul though. It's all about embellishment. From the jewels on my dress to the studs on heels and hair grips. I'm also loving rose-gold as a colour at the moment and haven't taken off the pretty rose-gold charm hair ties off my wrists since I bought them.

Everything that seemed to catch my eye on this trip was black, grey or rose-gold. I'm loving muted smokey colours at the moment... we just haven't had enough British sun to move into pastels just yet I think. However, the Elmo trainer socks were just too cute not to buy! They are the pop of colour my bleak haul needed hehe.

What have you been buying lately?

Dorothy Perkins Shoe Haul

OMG I love shoes and I've been absolutely loving Dorothy Perkins at the moment. I've bought a number of really great buys from them recently. Their new stuff is really cute I think, what about you?

I was in need of some smart black flats for work but ended up getting these lace loafer style slip-ons instead. I think they are alot prettier and eye-catching but still smart enough for the office. (I hope!) Love the cute bows too!

I've also been wearing heels more often and trying not to slouch around too much in my Bearpaw boots and look scruffy- so I bought these gorgeous tan heels. They're the perfect height, just higher than kitten heels (I HATE kitten heels: eww) and with a padded sole so they're extra comfy.

Shoes or handbags? What's your obession? hehe

HAUL: Dorothy Perkins, River Island and Babyliss

Hi Lovelies!

Hope you're enjoying the weekend :)

As it's nearly Christmas I've been treating myself ways too much! I went out on a little present-finding trip and came back with more goodies for myself than for anyone else... oops!

What I bought was a golden shimmery 3/4 length peplum top and some black Eden jean leggings from Dorothy Perkins. I'm in LOVE with DottyP's Eden Leggings. They are super soft and soo comfy. Bestie introduced me to em.

I also got yet another peplum from River Island. It cost £25. I liked it because of its long sleeves and pannelled tweed front and back. Peplum obsessed I know: Check out my other peplum tops at my Youtube Channel.

I also ordered a Babyliss Pro 38mm large barrelled curling iron which came through the post at the same time.. eekk! so much new stuff! Check out my Youtube video of my initial thoughts on the curling iron.

What have you bought recently? Please send me links to your haul posts below!!

New Look Haul

Hi Girlies <3

Last weekend I got a bit excited in New Look and ended up buying not one, not even two but four tops :) Three of which are peplums. Did I mention I LOVE peplums?

I hadn't been in New Look for a while but I really like their current season. They have a great range of evening and party wear looks this year and reasonably priced. These tops were between £16-20 each and when I went to the till I recieved 25% off as they decided to give me a voucher (very kind of them I know!).

That brings my peplum top count up to 6 now. A little too excessive perhaps! What do you think? <3

What I've been wearing from my latest Haul

Miss Selfridge White Blouse 

 River Island Dark Navy High Waisted Hot Pants

Heya Girlies <3 

In my last haul post I showed you a few items I'd bought. I didn't get a chance to show you them on as I was in a bit of a hurry so wanted to do a quick post to show you how I've been styling them :) 

The first photo is a work outfit with my new Miss Selfridge top. I find that you only really get a feel for clothes once you've worn them for a day and I really love this top. The material is so soft and floaty and really girly. I've already had a number of comments about it so I'm pleased!

The other two photos are of my teeny tiny River Island hot pants. These sadly I haven't worked up the courage to wear yet. See I got all dressed up and ready to head out in the outfit above... then sighed and changed into boring jeans! This hot pants buy was much more of a lust item for me. I love high waisted pieces and the shorts are so cute I just had to have them. 

 Lastly, Just a couple of recent buys below from Dorothy Perkins. Nice chunky rings are always a hit and I really liked the pastel skull bracelet.. perhaps a little quirky but hey. Plus they were in the sale for a few quid...Bargain!

Super Sunday Haul

On Sunday I took a little trip into town to have a look around the shops. It was quite innocent I swear. I really didn't mean to buy so much :) I bought from River Island, Accessorize, House of Fraser- Glamourous, Jane Norman and Miss Selfridges. Did anyone else do any shopping at the weekend?

My fav purchase of the day was the ear cuff I bought from Miss Selfridges - something totally wacky I know but I love it! Just got to figure out how to wear it now... a post on that to come later in the week, so keep and eye out. <3

 Pretty thin pastel coloured hairbands and a pastel blue lobster necklace from Accessorize

My bling ear cuff and matching skull and beads necklace and bracelet from Miss Selfridges Diva

Beige maxi skirt with slit up the side and high waisted dark blue hot pants from River Island

Pretty floral patterned cut out dress from Glamourous in House of Frazer

 

Soft cream work blouse from Miss Selfridges

Black bootcut leggings from Jane Norman

I <3 shopping 

I've already worn the hairbands, skirt, both necklaces and the bracelet :)

Dorothy Perkins Haul

Last Weekend I went to a wedding and it was the most lovely wedding ever. Lots of little cute personal touches and heartwarming speeches (boyf's nan was welling up bless her). We spent the morning rushing around like mad though as Boyf hadn't actually found a suit yet!! So whilst panicing for him I managed to do a spot of shopping for me... naturally!

I found these amazingly beautiful nude spotted mega heels in Dorothy Perkins. They were in the sale too which made them extra beautiful ;) I love the little strap and the soft colour. In the photos they don't actually look as painfully high as they are but walking in them in real life I can assure you they are. I had forgotten what it was like to walk in such high heels but will be wearing them again as they made my calves look lovely and slim lined in the photos.

I also bought a gorgeous deep grey coloured floaty jacket. It has extra material at the front which hangs down nicely in drapes which I love. The material is so soft too and has been intricately tailored so that its a perfect fit. I'm wearing it and my new heels in the photo below... Happy Wedding smile!

My MUA haul

It's getting close to the end of the month now, and it's pretty much a week before payday so you can tell my posts are getting 'on budget' hehe... I can't help a browse though, even if I can't afford things so love to look around SuperDrug just in case there's something to my liking for a couple of pretty pennies. As it goes there is! MUA MakeUp Academy is new brand to me and is exclusive to SuperDrug, I don't think I've come across them before but judging by the quality of the powder, blush and primer that I bought from them I definitely won't forget them.

As is usual for me at the end of the month, I was attracted to the low prices, I think the blush and powder were just a pound each and the primer was £4! I've been after a subtle rouge blush for a while so was pleased to get this one home to try. I love the colour and it has actually replaced my bright pink Hello Kitty MAC blush! The makeup seems fab and I haven't noticed any drop in quality due to price. The powder is a natural colour and smooth on my face. The primer I like too as it's silky and does seem to keep my make up in place. The only teeny downfall is with the blush lid upclipping from the base. However, it can be easily clipped back on and doesn't unclip when closed.

I'd be interested to test some more of their products. They had a great collection of lipsticks and I'm so fussy with lipsticks so would be great if I found some I liked for £1 too <3
