What I bought

I've actually been terrible recently with buying new things, I just can't seem to stop. So although my bank account is running very low, I have a lot of new pretty things and I've had a lot of fun purchasing them! I've been really rubbish with my blog recently too as I've been working a lot (and spending money in any spare time I have apparently) so some of these things are from a while ago! 

I've been wanting some boots for the colder seasons for a while so when I came across these beauties in TOPSHOP for only £40!!! I really couldn't resist...and they are soooooo soft, I spent a good ten minutes stroking them in the shop before I  gave in.
Get them here.

Again I had been looking for a cross necklace for a while so when I found this cute little gold cross on a suede ribbon in republic I was already pretty swayed, but when I saw that it was only £6 and I could get student discount, it would have physically pained me to leave it behind.
I can't find this one online but I only got it a couple of weeks ago so I'm sure it's still about! 

I'd seen a couple of necklace like this about but they were always pretty pricey so I checked ebay and and found this one for just £1.50 with free delivery!! Bargain

Working in retail really does have its perks. One of which being uniform! This is one of the tops I got for FREE to where as uniform to work. I have a little bit of a thing for skulls at the moment so this one was a winner! You can get it here for just £20.

I absolutely loooveeee these cute little dip dyed cross earrings! Really was a nice unexpected surprise to find these for £1 in Matalan. 

This was another little treat I found in mataland. I think it's supposed to be a fitted shirt but I bought it a few sizes too big so I could wear it oversized! I love the little leather pocket and strip down the back, and for £8 I couldnt resist. 

ps. I've got a few more bits I haven't had a chance to photograph yet as my clothes are all over the place at the moment, half at my mums half at my dads! So I will do another post shortly with more goodies x

What I Bought

Living the student life doesn't give me much spare cash to feed my shopping obsession as much as I would like...BUT I recently got my first pay check from working at River Island and it's safe to say I have gone a little nuts! It wasn't until I got all my new things out to take photos of them for this that I realised just how much new stuff I had bought. Do I feel bad? Not at all, I feel ammazzinng! Shopping makes me so happy, I'm literally like a child in a sweet shop when I have money in my bank account, so here's all the 'sweet' little goodies I got my hands on! 

1. Topshop Zip Peplum Top
£18
Get it here

I wasn't a fan of the peplum when it first came about but they have definitely grown on me! I really wanted a plain black one but didn't want to pay too much for one so when I came across this one in TOPSHOP yesterday I had to have it, student discount meant I got it for even cheaper! BARGAIN

2. River Island
Double Heart Ring/Bracelet
£4
Get it here

Working at River Island means staff discount and  it would be rude not to use it right? I saw this ring during one of my shifts and thought it was so cute and a little bit different and for £4 plus my discount it was basically free...kinda

3. River Island
Studded shoulder Crop
£15
Get it here

I have a bit of a thing for studs at the moment so when this top came in with the new stock it caught my eye. I thought it would go really well with the black maxi I purchased on the same day (see below) and also look cute with jeans of denim shorts so had to be done really.

4. River Island
Double Finger Cross Ring
£1 in Sale
I'd wanted a ring just like this for ages so when I saw it hidden behind some other bits in the  sale I got a bit excited and hoped no one would find it before the end of my shift. I was in luck and managed to grab it for just a pound....however my luck ran out when I got home and realised that the size sticker had been covered up and its actually tiny! But i'm not giving up, going to see if my daddy can do anything with for me, fingers crossed!

5. River Island
Silver Cross Earrings
£3
Get them here

I'm loving all the cross stuff that's about at the moment so once again, I saw these during one of my shifts and thought ye, I need those.

6. River Island
Black Chiffon Maxi Skirt
£30
Get it here

I love a good maxi skirt as I think they are really versatile. They can be dressed up or dressed down and can be worn with a cute vest in the summer and a chunky crop knit in the colder seasons. 

7. River Island
Beaded Feather crop
£15
Get it here

Ok, so working in retail is really bad for me because I just spend my shifts walking around the shop picking out things I want. But I thought this crop was really cute and would go really nicely with my new maxi, a pair of gold gladiators and some feather earrings...I didn't take much convincing. 

8. Topshop
Skeleton Cut out sleeve crop
£7 in sale

Saw this in the sale and with my new obsession for anything 'skeletony' it caught my eye  and for £7 I couldn't really leave it behind could I?

9. Zara
Lace Blouse
£15.99 in sale

I'm a big fan of blouses, my wardrobe is full of them. Pull one on over some skinny jeans and cute pumps and you've got a quick and easy outfit that cannot fail. I saw this as I was browsing through the sale and fell in love. Blouse, lace, sale...do I need to say more?

10. Zara
Silk Shirt
£19.99

So this one wasn't in the sale but the soft, shiny silk called to me... I'm so weak.

11. Topshop
Bird Headband
£3.50 in Sale

When I first bought this I didn't even realise it was a headband, I thought it was a necklace and planned to wear it with one of my new blouses under the collar. So when a friend pointed out that it was actually for my head it was just an added bonus. Two accessories for the price of not even one!

12. H&M
Orange and Grey Striped Sports Bra
£9.99
Get it here

I'm on a bit of a mission at the moment to loose some weight and get fit so thought by purchasing a nice sports bra it might make me more motivated...we shall see

13. Superdrug
Accessorize Nail Polish in  Crystal Shimmer and Love Soft Jade
2 for £5
Get it here

I have wanted to try out some of the Accessorize make up brand for a while, drawn to it mostly by the super cute packaging, so thought I'd start with some nail varnish as you can never have to much of that. I'm still a big fan of mint green even if summer is pretty much over and anything sparkly makes me happy. (I will do a review of these soon)

Zara Fall 2012

I am absolutely loving Zara's Fall 2012 Collection. I NEED some of the pieces in my life, if anyone has any ideas on how I can make some quick cash then please let me know because the student budget just isn't working for my shopping addiction!!! xx

What I Bought

Even though I'm ridiculously poor at the moment I cannot contain my 'shopping problem'. In a couple of weeks me and my friends are going to Royal Ascot so I took a trip to Oxford Circus to look for a dress. After trying on about 100000 dresses I decided that I'm just not a dress kinda gal and found a beaauuutt skirt by Rare in TOPSHOP and just had to buy it! I'm loving the dip dye trend at the moment so this skirt is perfect for me, and in this girly shade of pink it's sooo me! Now it's just finding something to go with it!?  Sticking with my pink theme, I saw these little pumps and couldn't resist them!

All the pinkness inspired me to match my nails!
