FINALLY I have found time to shut myself away in my room and get blogging.
I've decided to do a 'haul' style post as since being back at university I seem to have gone a bit overboard with the spending considering I have no money... Hopefully writing this post will shock me into learning to say 'NO' when faced with temptation (fingers crossed).
I bought these beauties last weekend as I really wanted some new shoes to wear to my freshers ball. They didn't have any size 5s but luckily a 6 fitted perfectly - which was a shock as I have quite a small size 5 foot. I don't have any other creamy/beige shoes so these are a much needed addition to my wardrobe and at only £19.99 I would have been stupid to resist.
I really like the shape of peplum tops, however as my hips/thighs are the widest part of my body I wasn't sure whether I would like the shape of them on me. However, I tried on my friend's a while ago and quite liked it so thought I would invest in one. I wanted to get one in black and one in burgundy but sadly they only had my size in the black. Originally I liked the material of the ones in Topshop HOWEVER in New Look they are nearly identical and half the price at £9.99, so I bought it from there instead.
I can't get enough of studs at the moment, so when I found this beauty in Primark I had to purchase it. I THINK it was £8 which is so good for a clutch bag. Since buying this I have also seen a really nice one in Matalan which is very similar at also £8 (I think).
I'd been looking for a burgundy hoody for a while and originally planned to get one from Primark in the men's section, however they never had any XSs. Although I love lounging about and being lazy I'm never too willing to spend money on 'comfy' clothes, but there is just something about this colour that I really love. I bought this hoody from New Look for around £14.99 (minus student discount). I've basically lived in it ever since, but one thing I must say is that it has already started going a bit bobbly which I HATE. Other than that, I love it.
This item I don't feel so guilty about as my parents bought it for me when they dropped me off back at uni. I found it in the New Look sale, but I cant remember how much it was. I really like the colour and pattern of this blouse as I don't own anything similar to it.
I also really like the shape of this blouse as it is longer at the back.
As I have an obsession with studs I picked this up in Primark for £8. I wanted to get a jumper that I really like as it's getting stupidly cold (which I hate). I really like teaming this with a white blouse underneath.
This blouse was also from Primark at £12. I didn't purchase it at first but when I went into the store a few days later I couldn't help myself. I wasn't sure of the pattern at first (koala bears) however they are cute and from far away you can't make out what they are anyway. I've really liked wearing this with a high waisted black skirt (also from Primark) and red lippy.
Furthermore, the studs were obviously a huge YES for me.
These cropped jeans are one of my most recent purchases. They were a huge bargain at only £12 in the Matalan sale (half price). I am worried that as I got a size 10 that they look a little more like ankle swingers than cropped jeans... and I am yet to wear them. I really liked the zips along the back at the bottom of the legs in particular. I'm undecided on whether I should keep them or take them back, but as they were so cheap I feel as though I might as well keep them?
This is another top that I found in the New Look sale, I think it was £5. I am a lover of anything black, white or grey (boring I know) so this stood out to me. What I really like about this is the material of the back of the top and the fact that it is longer than the front. It makes it a little more exciting than simply a black t-shirt.
I've wanted Converse for such a long time but never taken the plunge to get them as they are quite pricey. Recently my local shopping centre had a 'Student Lock In' where most shops offered 20% student discount, so I thought I would take advantage of it and finally get some! Originally I wanted black, however I was debating between black and white for a long time. I think that I made the right decision getting this colour though and can't wait to make good use of them! I did find that they rubbed a lot to start with but they are getting a lot better now which makes me HAPPY.
Recently I have been brave and started wearing lipstick both during the day and on nights out. I had a red that was pretty awful so I thought that whilst it is 3 for 2 in boots I would try out Kate Moss' new range for Rimmel. I really like this shade as it's not too dark and not too bright so can work during the day or night. I can't wait to wear it!
I love perfume but it is always so expensive so rarely purchase it. So when the sales assistant told me that it was half price at £14 I couldn't resist.
FINALLY I bought these the other day whilst in Boots and they only came to £4 due to the 3 for 2 offer which is a bargain. I really like this glitter topcoat as, as well as silver it also has blue glitter within it. Also, as I like wearing quite dull outfits I like wearing bright nail varnish to give it a kick of colour. Therefore I really liked this pinky/red. I'm not much of a fan of pink nails, and wish that this colour was a slightly more reddish tone but it looks good with the glitter over it. I also thought it was time to invest in a clear nail varnish as I am always chipping my nails, so hopefully this will help.
SO finally that is all of it. The fact that I am poor and have bought all of this in the past few weeks does make me think that I should stop... or slow down a little. BUT SHOPPING IS SO GOOD.
I will be back soon :)
