Mid Summer Wishing

Coat / Skirt / Jeans / T-shirt / Jumper / Pinafore / Bag / Socks

It's been quite a while since I posted a little wishlist on the blog! There's a definite theme to this wishlist - blush and grey seem to be my picks at the moment. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect denim pinafore and a new backpack! I think these Primark picks should do the trick.

What are you wishing for?

A Spring Fashion Haul

Zara Bomber // Ivy Park T-Shirt // H&M T-Shirt // Illustrated People T-Shirt

After my Spring Topshop wishlist, I decided that I would treat myself to a couple of things! First up, I finally bought a bomber jacket! Instead of going for the Topshop one I found a very similar Zara one for almost half the price at £30. It's made of a different material and it is slightly thinner, but this will probably be better for the warmer weather.

Of course, I couldn't go shopping and not pick up something from the Ivy Park range! I bought the white logo t-shirt and I think I'll be buying the pink crew neck sweatshirt as well. I'm really impressed with the quality when it was only £16 - the t-shirt is so soft and slouchy!

Next, I picked up a basic grey t-shirt from H&M. I've been after the perfect plain t-shirt for quite a while now and this one is it! It's only £8 so I'll definitely be picking up a few more. I also finally bought the Illustrated People 'You're Basic Bye' t-shirt. I've been after this t-shirt for a few months now and as soon as I saw it on the Topshop website I knew I had to have it. It's slightly more expensive at £23 but it was definitely worth it!

A Boxing Day Sales Haul

Blazer // Top // Boots

I'm not really a huge fan of the Boxing Day sales. I find them quite overwhelming and I usually can't get anything I want, but this year I managed to pick up a few pieces that I've had my eye on for a few months.

My first stop of any sales is always Topshop. I bought this grey blazer which I've been wanting since September (£25 down from £46). Although this blazer is just a bit too light to be wearing right now, it will be perfect for when the weather starts to get a bit warmer.

I then found the flower camouflage print top. I had always put off purchasing this due to the price tag (£36) but when I saw it was just £18 in the sale I couldn't resist! I think this will look good paired with black Joni jeans and black heeled boots.

The last item I bought in Topshop was the rose gold necklace which was only £2.50. I love delicate jewellery so I always try to pick up a few pieces in Topshop when their sale starts.

Finally, I popped into M&S and found that these snakeprint boots that I've wanted for months were half price (£25 down from £50). These were a complete impulse buy but I really love them and they'll add something different to my wardrobe.

A Mini Winter ASOS Haul

Biker Jacket // Colourblock Scarf // iPhone 6 Case

I thought I'd show you a few pieces I got delivered from ASOS a few weeks ago! I had some birthday money left over and decided to treat my self - I live by this phrase far too much...

I decided to finally pick up a suede biker jacket from Vero Moda. I've been after a jacket like this for a while and I honestly expected to be sending it back but I love it! Although the fur lining isn't too soft, the suede makes up for it - it's so smooth and I know it'll be perfect for really cold, Winter days. 

I also picked up a new scarf which had been on my saved items for far too long. I think this will look really nice paired with my grey coat from Primark. It's really soft and cosy which is perfect for this awful weather!

Finally I bought a new Christmas phonecase. I'm really impressed with the quality of it considering it was only £8 and it's not too festive so I can probably get away with using it all year round.

New In: River Island, ASOS & Primark

River Island Bobble Hat / ASOS RUN AWAY Chelsea Boots / Adolescent Clothing Slogan Tee

Thanks to student loans I was back to treating myself in September to I thought I'd share a few of my favourites that I picked up. 

Taking advantage of a River Island discount, I picked up a burgundy bobble hat for Winter. Although it's not quite cold enough yet I've already been wearing this constantly. I love wearing burgundy in the winter and it goes perfectly with my new camel coat that I got from Primark!

Next up are my first pair of winter books for this season - the chelsea boots from ASOS. I've had my eye on these for ages and quickly snapped them up with I got my loan. I love everything about these boots and they have the perfect heel for everyday wear. Lastly, I also picked up this Adolescent Clothing tee on ASOS. I love a good slogan tee and the quality of this one is so good - perfect for chilled days!

What have you picked up later?

My Go-To Monochrome Look

Today I thought I'd share my favourite go-to monochrome look! Like most bloggers, I love striped tops so I obviously had to feature one in this post. This one is actually from Primark and cost £7 (see it in my haul) - I love the lightweight material and the baggy feel! I pair my striped top with black jeans and converse, and accessorise with my RayBans and Vivienne Westwood purse.

I really love this simple and easy look, especially when going to university and sitting in lectures all day!

I hope you enjoyed this insight into my personal style - I really wish I could share outfit photos with you all but I don't have a proper camera to take them on or anyone to take them for me, so this will have to do for now!

What's your go-to monochrome look?

An August Primark Haul

Although it's now September, I spent a lot of my August in Primark. They've started bringing in their A/W ranges and I ended up buying quite a few things! I'm obsessed with A/W fashion - I love the darker shades and piling up the layers to keep warm!

To embrace the 70's trend I picked up a tan suede skirt for just £10! I actually posted about how I'm styling it if you're interested. I also bought a berry cord pinafore at £13. I've wanted a new pinafore for a while now but wasn't sure what to go for - when I saw this one for so cheap I knew I had to have it! I actually spotted a very similar one in Topshop for £39 so I'd definitely pick up the Primark one if you're wanting one.

I then saw a tan/camel coloured jumper which I just had to have - I'm really loving camel/tan shades right now so I'm sure I'd pick up anything! Again this was around the £12 mark and features a white blouse collar underneath. Perfect for a cool Autumn day! And I couldn't leave Primark without picking up a new striped top (only £7).

I also picked up two new coats as well which aren't shown here. I got this black parka coat for travelling to uni when it's really horrible outside. I also got a camel (again!) coat similar to this style. Both coats were £25.

Have you picked up anything from Primark recently? I'd love to see your hauls!

What I Got For Christmas 2014: Primark Skirt

I want to start off by saying obviously I did not only get this one skirt for Christmas, I got lots of lovely things from my family and friends - including Daisy Dream, which I never want to take out of the packaging just because it's so pretty. Anyway, the skirt. 

I genuinely cannot believe that this skirt is from Primark. It's such good quality - really thick wool like fabric and it has a lining underneath! It's definitely more like something you would buy in Topshop and it is actually similar to a lilac one I already have.

I think it was around £12, so it's super cheap and affordable as well. I think this will be a huge seller, if it's not already sold out! I wore it last night when I went out for drinks and it' already one of my favourite items in my wardrobe, I think it's really versatile.

Yep, I just wrote a whole post on one skirt. But I'm in love.
