Dull Day Made Bright

So once again yesterday was another rainy day but luckily the rain held off for my photos! I just wanted to be comfy and warm but I needed something to make me feel slightly better: the answer = pink lips! I rarely wear lipstick or any kind of lip colour (usually just stick to my trusty Vaseline), but I recently rediscovered this one and I love it!

More Money Spent

This is a sort of collective haul from the past few weeks but I went to London yesterday and ended up buying a few things. The annoying this is I went to some different markets around London and really only bought things from mainstream shops.. But I am pleased with the things I got so here they are:

Rings and necklace: Forever 21 all £2.83

Black High Sqin Ankle Jeans: H&M £24.99

Top: Velvet £22

Boots: Office £20

Trousers: H&M £14.99

I am very pleased with the things I have bought actually and most of them (probably not the boots though) will be good for spring/summer!

London Day Out, OOTD and Haul

Despite going to London pretty frequently, I never seem to do "the sights" - I either go shopping, or go to whatever I'm there for be it a gig or event or something like that. Yesterday me and my friend Emily went sightseeing around London and then of course being me, did a bit of shopping as well. We also went to the Forever21 bloggers event but couldn't stay long unfortunately. This was my outfit for the day. I know it's plain but I wanted something comfy!

Like I said I was going for comfort over style but in the end my feet hurt from all the walking anyway! Typical. Here are some other snaps from the day out:

So we did wander round Selfridges and Harrods drooling over expensive handbags and designer clothes but we eventually found ourselves on Oxford Street and I purchased two things. I had seen this shirt on a girl at college and although I don't usually like to do this, I just had to get it! I also saw this necklace on my friend at the party I went to on Monday, although she has it in gold, and couldn't say no!

 

Silver Necklace £6.99 from H&M

 

Rabbit Shirt £12.99 from H&M

Just one last silly thing I got which is delicious...

Marshmallow Fluff from Selfridges (always been a fan haha)

It was a lovely day overall. Had a nice lunch in Pret and an afternoon ice cream in Knightsbridge. Rosie is back tomorrow - yay! Will keep on posting and see you later! I have just realised this was a VERY long post!

Pale Pleats

It was my friends 18th birthday last night so she hired a venue and this was my outfit! As normal I was running ridiculously late (hence the soaking wet hair) but it was a very nice evening. I have also just noticed the severe red-eye so apologies for that as well!

Top: H&M

Skirt: H&M

Jacket: H&M

Tights: Primark

Boots: Office

Earrings: Forever21

Rings: Presents and Cornwall

So it was quite an H&M-heavy outfit! I'm going out tonight for Valentines Day so I will be posting my outfit tomorrow. Rosie gets back on Saturday so she will be posting about her trip away soon.

Shopping Spree

 Just thought i would share with you a few of my recent purchases over the last month or so, although I already have way too many clothes, new things are always too tempting!!

I found this Princess Leia T-shirt in the Topshop sale in the Oxford Street store, although its kinda geeky I've always loved Star Wars and really like the pastel colours in this T-shirt

This dress is from the Reformed line at Urban Outfitters. It is lovely and floaty and sheer with a delicate black floral pattern on the fabric, I can't wait to wear it in the summer with sandals and lots of jewellery but I could probably also wear it in winter with tights and chunky heels.

These are wide legged trousers from Urban Outfitters with an orange segment print. I saw them last year but they had a mega discount in the sale so I though why not! they are very floaty and comfortable and also surprisingly flattering, bring on the summer!

I bought this leopard print skirt in the Zara sale, its really easy to wear and I have worn it lots already (see outfit post) I also like how instead of being classic leopard print (yellow/brown) its a lovely mixture of dark greys.

I found this skirt in the british heart foundation (originally oasis) for £3.99! its amazing! almost ankle thength silver/black lurex with a thigh high side split. Its a little bit tight so i might need to trim up a little before I wear it but its pretty stretchy so i can't wait to wear it out.

 Heres some of the jewellery that i have bought...Silver necklace-Urban Outfitters, Earrings left to right, vintage style enamel earrings, gold and pink robot earrings, black and gold clam shell earrings, all Forever21. I loved all these earrings and in Forever21 all the jewellery is SO CHEAP ! 

Can't wait to start wearing these things! look out for them in upcoming outfit posts although a couple of them definitely require warmer weather hopefully we'll have a nice a long summer this year (fingers crossed) hope you enjoyed seeing what i've been buying at the moment.
