Primark Haul!

Everything is from Primark!

Hello all!^^

I went to Brighton with my mum for some retail therapy, and I must admit, I did spend more than I had intended to! However, I'm glad that I bought everything in the end!

Firstly, I got some much needed knitted tights! They were £3 and I got them quite big so they didn't stretch out and become thin. The colour is perhaps not the most flattering - labelled 'oatmeal' and a creamy colour - but I'm bored of black tights and I think they can ruin an outfit sometimes. Plus, these tights feel wintery and I like to layer up in winter.

I'm not sure why this has rotated but oh well! I have been looking for a pale pink coat for a while so when I found this in Primark I had to get it! For £25 it's a great coat - the shape is very flattering and it's actually warmer and more substantial than a more expensive coat I have that looks much the same. I love the scalloped details and buckles, I think they look very feminine. In fact, I am wearing the coat now, as I write this, in a warm house! That's how much I love it^^

This blouse is gorgeous. It's sheer, ruffly and blush pink - the ultimate girly top! It also has bell sleeves which make it feel even more feminine. It's cut a little close but I don't mind. £10.

Finally, I got 2 new pairs of shoes. Well, I sort of cheated because my mum bought me the black ones as 'school shoes'. The beige pair were £4 and the black ones were £8. I don't expect they'll last long but the price is very good so I wouldn't have a problem with replacing them after a while. They are so comfy and I love the polka dots on the inner side of the beige ones! My appetite for ballet pumps has now been satisfied!


That's all for now, I hope you enjoyed!

New Shoes!

Hello everybody!
So I got some new shoes and I wanted to show you all them^^

So firstly...I GOT ANKLE BOOTS!! I was so happy when I found these, they were only £15 from Primark! They are so comfy, and they look really nice too, the sole is soft and they are very versatile. I could not be happier with them! If you're looking for some ankle boots I seriously recommend these, there were other styles and colours for reasonable prices in Primark too.

 

 

The other pair I got were from New Look. Ballet pumps! They were £15.99 so a little more than I would have liked but they feel sturdy and they are so pretty^^ The colour is versatile too.

So there you go, I hope you like them!

La Redoute Haul!

My mum likes a bit of La Redoute, the French fashion company that I had dismissed as stuffy. However, I joined my mum in looking through the latest catalogue, and I was quite surprised at how nice-and how 'me'-some of the clothes were. I had to narrow down my wishlist to two items, and I'd like to share them with you!

Firstly, the items that I had to reject and why:

These collars are really quirky, and the gold one was on my shortlist. I liked the idea of having an embellished collar instead of the usual necklace, and it seemed to be quite versatile. However, at £13 I couldn't justify it and there are cheaper ones that are similar in high street stores. Besides, my track record with accessories isn't great, and I had a feeling that I wouldn't wear it enough to make the price worth paying.

I absolutely loved this jumper. I've been looking for one like this for a long time, and this one was particularly similar to one I tried on when I was in New York City. So why did I reject it? Firstly, the description gave no details as to what the jumper was made of, so I couldn't make a judgment on whether it was going to be itchy or uncomfortable (and I am very sensitive to itchy clothes). Secondly, the sizing looked slightly awkward. I would have wanted it to be slightly oversized, but given the shape of it, it probably wouldn't have looked right. So, unfortunately, I had to reject it.

And now, for the items that I decided to order!

Again, I've been looking for a jumper like this for a long time, so I was super excited when I came across these-even more so when I saw that they were only £17! In the end, I went for the 'ivory' option, since I wanted the elbow pads to be very obvious. I was torn between the 'ivory' and the 'powder pink', but I decided on 'ivory' not only because the pads are more obvious, but also because it seemed more versatile and because it also looked like it was more expensive. The 'powder pink' looks a little grungy and farmer-like, and I wanted the jumper to be softer and cleaner looking...so 'ivory' it was!

Now, I saw these shoes and completely fell in love with them! I love the vibrant red and the cute T-bar ruffles. At £39, they were a little dear (well, for me anyway since I'm a cheapskate when it comes to shoes-£4 Primark plimsoles ftw!), but as my mum rightly pointed out, I don't have many shoes and I only have one pair of heels, which are wearing out fast. Let's face it-I was too infatuated with these shoes to give up on them anyway! Hehehe^^

So there you are, my La Redoute haul! I'll be sure to make a review post when they arrive!
