Recent Haul!

After £200 magically turned up in my bank account after receiving all of my university accommodation deposit back, I had to go shopping!

My new shoes also had to be picked up from the post office so they've been included too. I mentioned these in a previous post and HAD to get them. They're really comfy when I've tried them on and absolutely ridiculous but I love them! They were £26 including postage. Also, got myself this lovely red dress in the sale from Topshop. It was meant to be £48 but there was one left in my size for £18 (including student discount of course!) so I couldn't leave it. I had been admiring it for a while so was very happy to see it in the sale! Also treated myself to a Nina Ricci perfume called L'Elixir which was £28 from Boots.

Finally, I decided to go to Dorothy Perkins. I never really go in there but I was so happy I did today. They were practically giving away all the jewellery. I got 3 pairs of earrings and 2 necklaces for £5.10!

I worked out that I had actually saved £74 in the sales! I love working out savings after a good shopping trip! :)

Wish List

1) Cat Ears Watch - Asos £20 - Desperately need a new watch seeing as though i'm always watching the time at work. Thought this watch was adorable!

2) Denim studded backpack - Topshop £35 - I've been trying to convince myself that I don't want a backpack...but I really do! This one is too nice!

3) Lilac Strapless Skater Dress £22.99 from Missguided.co.uk . I'm such a massive fan of the colour lilac so loved this when I saw it.

4) These shoes I found on ebay! I'm in love and very tempted to dip into my savings for them! They're £26 including postage. They have them in a variety of colours too and the pink ones are extremely cute too.

5) I'm really feeling polka dots still so I adore this £18 River Island beauty!

6) I also quite fancy getting myself another leather jacket. You can throw it on with almost anything so i've convinced myself that it's an investment really! This one is £55 from Dorothy Perkins.

Payday can not come quick enough! :)

Little bit of a shoe problem...

I started making a wish list, only to realise that all I currently want is shoes. I really think it's a problem!

1)Topshop £85

2) Ebay £38 Spike T-bar heels

 3) £50 Schuh Velvet Wedges 

4) £21 Ebay - Black Flatform 

 5) Red and Black Mary Jane Flatforms £30 from Asos

Shoes are definitely one of my biggest weaknesses in life. But they're just SO pretty! What are your weaknesses when it comes to shopping? :)

Payday!

After getting my wages on Friday, I was impressed I managed to control myself until today! Headed to Manchester despite the torrential downpours to spend money which I probably should be saving.

First I got this top from Ark for £9.99. The 'Chanel' copy logo is made up of bones and I love it. I was relieved to find something from Ark after having a gift receipt for the place for months :) Glad I waited instead of buying something just for the sake of it.

Next I hit Topshop. A place where I rarely splurge as I usually find you can find similar items for half the price. However, these velvet creeper style shoes were £24 (with £2.40 off with the joys of student discount!) which I thought was pretty reasonable. Also got myself a pair of wing earrings which were only £1.50 and a nice gold beaded necklace which was £3.50. Got to love how cheap Topshop jewellery goes in the sales!

As I nipped into Primark for tights I also noticed this jumper. It's nice and baggy and will probably go with quite a bit. This cost £12. 

I've been eyeing up this vest from H&M for a while but never been able to see it in my local Warrington store. It cost £9.99 which I thought was quite expensive for H&M's usual prices but still pretty cheap compared to other high street stores!

Finally I thought I'd nosey in some Charity shops, where I picked up this navy polka dot blouse (definitely on a polka dot hype at the minute!) which cost £1.99. It's quite big but thought it would look cute tucked in skirts or wearing it open over dresses. It really is worth rummaging around in charity shops though.

I thought I controlled myself relatively well (especially when I hit the shoe section in Topshop) but I'm pretty excited with this haul of stuff. :)
