Sunday Sunshine.
Just a quick post of my outfit from yesterday! I went shopping with my mum in Newbury, we went to the local 'Outfit' store there which is owned by Arcadia and basically has a selection of each of their brands. I ended up purchasing my outfit for my work christmas party after seeing a matching top and skirt on a mannequin. I really liked it and so tried it on and it looked great, props to Miss Selfridge for their excellent visual merchandising! Anyway, I did manage to get a good bit of christmas shopping out of the way as well and so I am now well on my way to getting it finished. Thank. God. I'm not the biggest fan of christmas shopping as there is always so many things I want for myself but I have to hold back. I'm sure everyone struggles with the whole 'one for them, one for me' situation and like I said in previous posts - it never hurts to treat yourself a little!
Have you got any of your Christmas shopping done? Why not comment below!
November Haul.
I know that November has been over for 2 days now, but I didn't get a chance to blog the things that I bought. You'll notice that I haven't bought an awful lot and that will be down to Christmas coming up and various things going on that I was invited to. I'm slowly trying to replace things in my wardrobe as i'm getting a little bored with it as well, which subsequently always happens at the end of the year and i'm also trying to buy things that will last. So here's some snaps of my November haul guys, hope you like it!
The skirt is from Primark and I managed to bag it for just £3 in the sale and the shirt is from H&M and is currently £17 in their sale online.
Both the boots and the hat are from H&M, the boots are £25 in the sale and the hat is £12.99 full price.
This is my new gym gear from Primark, I love the gym clothes that they sell because they are affordable, comfortable and very resilient. The also bring out new styles every now and again so you can build up your collection. I'm loving their bright colours mixed with marled greys and washes. It reminds me of 1980s exercise videos, so all I need now is a leotard and a massive flannel headband!
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Another outfit post for you lovelies!
A few photos from my outfit of the day yesterday from a visit to Winter Wonderland in London, I pulled the coat out again but it's much better styled this time. I got a brand new phone and it takes great pictures so I managed to get some images with much more detail! The hat, boots and shirt are all from H&M and are new and I will post about them and the rest of my November haul later as well as a post about my day at Winter Wonderland.
Shop the look -
Haul.
Obviously a major part of visiting your friends in another city is to go shopping! Especially when you've just been paid.....oh yeah. We were breaking our backs getting final pieces stitched together and after it was all shown to an industry panel we decided to take a little time to ourselves to go out and spend some hard earned money. Pretty sure we spent 6 hours trawling around every store we could find, but it was so worth it!!! Now one store that i need to commend for their current selection is H&M (two posts in a row!) there was sooooo much that i wanted, it was hard to just put it down to a few items otherwise i would have been busting my bank account. Regrettably, not all the money in there is for clothes, sigh. Here's what i bought -
Now you can probably tell i have a large soft spot, or maybe just a complete infatuated love for cats! I used to buy everything i saw that had a cat on it, however i have since trained myself to stand back and mull it over first. That being said i did buy two things that pay homage to our furry friends. The t shirt is far too cute to handle and i felt like i needed something a little more fun in my wardrobe and the bag came in a choice of black or leopard print. I went for the latter due to my collection of black items, i have far too many and i'm pretty sure my mother would disapprove at the thought of another black bag in our house. The blouse you can't see so well but it is sort of a snake print, i just thought it would be something sophisticated for work.
Moving on, we also took some time to look in some beauty stores where i purchased some new nail varnishes and also received a free No.7 gift set, yay! As well as some hair clips and some lipcote, which keeps your lipstick on fantastically. I spent so much money on everything i almost lost count but i'm pretty pleased with my new items, not so much getting them home however. My suitcase was already very heavy, oops.
H&M w/ Alexander Wang.

So as everyone is now aware H&M announced at Coachella that their next designer collaboration is with none other than - drum roll - Alexander Wang. Now, I am very excited about this collaboration as i feel this is going to be one of their most marketable. We all know Mr Wang for his sleek sportswear collections, containing staple pieces that can be re worn and re worked into a number of different outfits and this is where i believe H&M have bounded onto the right track. If previous seasons of his own name brand are anything to go by, then we can assume that in November H&M stores will be stocked with a collection that lends pieces to all styles and tastes. After all, sportswear is stripping fashion back to it's basics...but in a cool and sophisticated kind of way of course! I think i speak for all fashion lovers when i say that i am excited for a slice of urban New York style to spice up my wardrobe and a piece of Alexander Wang innovation at a cut price!
P.S I couldn't help myself with that picture, it's fantastic!
Outfit of The Day #4 - Casual.
Jumper - H&M

Boots - Topshop
Bag - H&M
We've been super busy this week getting my friend's collection ready, yeaaaahh i only helped one in the end. In my defence my other friend wanted to get his done alone and to his standard, i did sew a few buttons for him though. I have a lot to post but i will start with an outfit post from today, it is finally sunny so i don't need a jacket, hurrah! You'll be pleased to see a lack of stripes though i'm still living in black jeans, i really need more colour in my life! Enjoy!
