Holiday Time!

Mint Lace Panel Dress: H&M
£9.99

So.. FINALLY booked a holiday. Last minute and I leave in 2 weeks eeeek! had a passport dilemma but after going to the passport office in Liverpool it's all sorted, phew! So now it's time to do some holiday shopping. Had a small spree the other day and this was probably my favourite purchase. It's really cute and will be nice a cool to wear in the heat of Turkey! £9.99 from H&M and they have black, white and pink versions as well. It's a good one to show off a bit of tan as well with the lace panels and low back. H&M have quite a lot of reasonably priced summer garments in at the moment. I had seen advertised a white crochet bikini that I REALLY want but every store i've been in is out of stock and so is the website so I think I'm gonna have to give up hope on that one :(

A recent shopping spree took place after my Student Loan came in. Yes I know I'm supposed to spend it on boring things like food and rent but shopping is way more fun and because I study fashion It's part of my course anyway.. or at least I tell myself so. Trend research or something like that. Been looking for a white jacket for a while and not really found anything I loved but settled for this H&M piece which is fitted and comfortable. I personally think I could have been a lot worse with the spending, most of these things were relatively inexpensive. Went into Sainsbury's because I had seen some Gok Wan floral trousers advertised that I reaaaaally want but they only had size 14+ which being a size 8 isn't much use. Gutted. But picked up the red/coral top while I was there. Thought it would look cool with some white jeans. 

Ordered some RayBan wayfarer glasses (not sunglasses) on this spree as well. They were more necessary though because I can't see much without them.

Black is probably one of my favourite colours to wear. Not only is it slimming, it goes with anything and can be so easily dressed up or down and made to look classy and chic. The H&M handbag is one of my most recent purchases. I originally bought it for when I'm travelling to and from uni and stopping overnight somewhere because it's huge! With me only being small I think it looks a bit OTT and stupid but i've grown to like it and use it a lot more now. It has a long strap so it can be a shoulder bag which is really useful when carrying it around jam packed full of uni work, books, iPad etc. And of course it goes with any outfit which is a little bonus. H&M also do it in other colours - pale bus and beige which are really cool for summer! The ONLY downside to this bag is that i've seen loads of people with it which puts me off because I prefer to be a bit individual. I guess it's expected when it's from a high street store at such a good price (I had £5 off so it was even better!). You can find it here in black and other colours.

I got the iPad case for Christmas 2012 (agrees ago I know) but I still love it! It's been really useful and lasted so well. For £19.99 I think it was a bargain. It is also lined with a really cool leopard print fabric.

Although the picture of the scarf is more of a selfie and you can't really see the scarf, it is also from H&M and a  bargain price also available in other colours. It can be worn in loads of different ways and is a really soft textured material - great for spring as it's lighter than my knitted scarfs.

I have blogged about the fluffy cropped jumper before but it's so comfy and easy to wear with so many different things it's appearing again! I would say go and grab one but it's from Internationale which is now in administration so I doubt you'll find one. The necklace is an old one from Topshop but a classic that i wear a lot as it's simple but finished off an outfit.

Finally the earrings are a pair I wear so much - from Forever 21. They were a present to myself when I was down in London for a week at Debenhams HQ as I was in jewellery heaven at the huge Forever 21 store on Oxford Street!

All about Coats

Biker Jacket: H&M
£29.99
Denim Jacket: Levi's
£65

First post is all about coats. I like winter because you get to wear layers which means showing off lots of different clothes all at once. These two are my newest coat purchases. I bought the grey one from H&M for £30 (but got a cheeky 20% off at a student event - bargain!) and the denim jacket is from Levi's and was £65. Last year I thought the leather arms on jackets were a bit tacky but I've grown to like them and think they make this coat stand out more. I've seen the fur lined denim jackets on the high street (Topshop) and wanted one for a while but when I saw it in the Levi's outlet I just couldn't resist. Got loads of use out of both of them and haven't got bored of either yet!
