Boots: Dorothy Perkins
£35 
T-shirt Dress: MRP.com
£6
Waist Belt: MRP.com
£3
Contrast Top: H&M
£14.99
Knitted Headband: H&M
£4.99

So here is this weeks purchases/deliveries so far. I ordered a few things from mrp.com and they took a while to arrive but finally got here yesterday. I really like the belt and T-shirt dress pictured above but i also ordered another T-shirt dress and some earrings which I didn't really like. My housemate bought the dress and I'll probably just keep the earrings.

I've been looking for some flat/low black boots for ages but I'm REALLY fussy about shoes and boots so couldn't find any I liked for agees. I finally found these ankle boots when I was shopping in Leeds and for £35 they're a bargain. I love the contrast of the suede and snakeskin look and they are very comfortable. You can also find them here.

The pictures don't really show the contrast on the black H&M top but its got chiffon arms and back and the front panel is like a snake skin textured jersey. It's baggy and fairly long which is what I love. I've been buying a lot of black recently because I have to wear all black to my new job at Moda in Pelle (Yes I FINALLY got a fashion retail job!!). I had a £5 off voucher for H&M so picked up the headband while I was there. Another bargain :)

Baby Blue

Shirt: Zara £39.99
Knitted Mix Stitch Jumper: Topshop £36

One of my housemates at Uni got this shirt and I was so jealous! It's really expensive for the material it is but I got it on holiday in Spain so it worked out about £5 cheaper because of the exchange rate! It's now probably in my top 5 favourite items of clothing and so many people have said they love it. 

The jumper is just a plain knitted jumper from topshop. Fairly basic but warm and love the cornflower blue colour. It is available here.

Be Jewelled

Embellished Top: Zara - £39.99

Saw this top in Zara and immediately fell in love but persuaded myself it was too expensive to buy. When I got home I couldn't stop thinking about how amazing it was so then proceeded to look in every Zara i came across for the next 2 weeks but as always when you want something you can't find it. Eventually I caved and ordered it online. The material is really thick and has a boxy shape which looks really cool with skinny jeans. I've had soo many comments from people so it was definitely worth the money! 

Unexpected Gifts Are The Best

Bit of a soppy post but here we go ...

So it was mine and my boyfriends 6 month anniversary this week and not only did he book a surprise night away he also got me this Ted Baker make-up bag i've wanted for ageeees. I had a job interview today and he went shopping while he waited for me and when I got back he gave me this. Completely unexpected and took me by surprise. I always think that surprise gifts are soo much better!

It's available here.

Skirts Skirts Skirts

Clockwise from top left

1. Topshop: Mix Jacquard Wrap Skirt - £45 

2. Missguided: Voileta Embroidered Organza Skater Skirt - £21.99

3. River Island: Black Mixed Print Colour Block Pencil Skirt - £25

4. H&M: Quilted Skirt - £14.99

5. Miss Selfridge: Black and White Check Skater - WAS £35 NOW £12

6. H&M: Patterned Skirt - £19.99

7. River Island: Black Sequin Embellished Tube Maxi Skirt - £65

8. New Look: Red Check Jersey Skater Skirt - £14.99

I would love to own all of these skirts but who wouldn't? I think my favourite is number 7 - the river island sequin embellished maxi. I reckon you'd have to be slim to pull it off but on a night out or at a Christmas party this would definitely be a head turner. With a plain black crop top and some chunky heels with a bright coloured clutch it would be an outfit to remember! Can't afford £65 on a student budget at the moment but maybe if I get invited to a big event (I wish!) over Christmas I may have to treat myself. 

Summer Throwback

Dress: Pull and Bear
20 Euros
Sunglasses: RayBan Wayfarer
£120 Available from ASOS

Feeling very wintery today as it's chucking it down with rain and freezing cold outside. Trying to keep warm in the house which made me think about going on holiday again. I bought this dress from Pull & Bear in Lanzarote for only 20 euros! Such a bargain and it's one of my favourite purchases over summer. It the comfiest and easiest dress to wear ever. Wishing I had bought it in another colour (asuming they had one) because I wore it soo much on all my holidays this year. As for my RayBans I've worn them and worn them since I got them. Don't need another pair of sunglasses because they go with everything and never really go out of fashion. 

Now I just want to be back in sunny Turkey getting nice and brown instead of wrapped up in rainy England paler than ever!
