Christmas sales Haul! x

Hello beautiful people! Happy new year!! this year has generally been a pretty good one for me, although there have been some tragedies along the way, i feel like i have excited more than failed this year :)

i hope you have all had the year you had hoped for, and if not, then Here's to 2013. my life is going way too quick right now!

to finish off 2012 in the perfect way, i am going to do a haul on some bargains i have picked up in the Christmas sales.. yay!! 

New Look.new look is one of my fave places to shop when it has sales on, although i very rarely go in there otherwise! there sales are just too good to resist and never disappoint me!

                                                                      £9 reduced from £19.99

I actually got these shorts on 2 separate shopping trips. i first bought the grey pair on a whim without trying them on, and i did have my eye on the blue pair but my size wasn't available. i got home and tried them on and, i must admit, fell a little bit in love.. i then went shopping again today and saw the navy pair in my size so snatched them up straight away! i honestly cannot wait to rock these, the high waist is just the right height and they fit like a glove. i could have probably got away with going a size down because they are so stretchy.. although thinking about it i don't want to be flashing Too much bum cheek ;)

                                     Brown ankle boots-£10.00      Burgundy Chain heels-12.00

like i said in my last post, i will soon be turning 18 and so i thought it a perfect time to stock up on some heels. and what better time to stock up on heels than when there are huge sales everywhere?! to be honest, my mum actually picked both of these out, otherwise i don't think i would have spot them. but once i tried them on, they were mine! they're both really comfy, the brown ones will be nice for something more casual like going to a bar or pub, and the Burgundy ones are perfect for anything more dressy. the colour is also gorgeous

 H&M

H&M is another place to find a great bargain or 2. i actually had a £25.00 gift card so i ended up paying nothing for these 2!

£10 reduced from £25 (i think) 

 I haven't taken this slouchy baby pink knit jumper off since i got it! its so soft and effortless and with jeans and a pair of uggs or docs it just looks perfect. you cant really get the true colour of it by this picture.. but I'm sure you will see it pop up in an outfit of the day some day soon!

£15 reduced from £25 or over (sorry my memory is awful!)

Absolutely LOVE this dress, and i was so close to buying it full price but didn't as there wasn't my size there, a week later and what do you know, its in the sale! the picture isn't really don't it justice as the material is a purple velvet leopard print. the front can open up low to show a bit of cleavage if you lucky enough to have any, i for one, do not, so i will probably be using the little popper to make it a little less revealing on me. never the less this looks absolutely gorgeous on, and would have been my NYE dress if i had somewhere to go!

 before you look at these and are about to go and get them, NO, these were not in the sale unfortunately ha ha. actually i got them from my dad for Christmas and completely forgot to include them in my Christmas haul Here.  i have wanted a pair of docs for about 4 years now but have never had the guts to actually get them, but now i have them i couldn't be happier! these along with my uggs are literally my only everyday form of shoe wear for now and i can guarantee for the rest of winter. In Love. £105

(my hat is from a market stall ages ago, and i absolutely love it. although its annoying because i can only really wear it if i have straightened my hair! )


Happy new year, i hope your doing something more exciting than me! what have you bought in the sales?

I LOVE A GOOD BARGAIN.

hello beauts, how are you all? i bring you Rather large clothing haul,with the majority of my purchases from h&m. i went shopping with my mum today, and i found some absolute BARGAINS. i wont tell you how much everything costs until the end,until then, ill leave you guessing ;) 

Most of the things i got are pretty little summer dresses etc. this is my way of trying to hurry summer up! ha ha

All above from H&M

Primark

I absolutely love all the dresses, a big thank you to my mum for picking the majority of them out for me!

If you don't like them, maybe the price will sway you a little? 3 pound each.. did you get that? yes, 3 POUND EACH! honest to god i almost had a heart attack when i saw the little red sticker saying 3 pound,and that's when i brought the mother over to the sale rack to help me rummage for some bargains. i cant wait to wear these bits in the summer, and i think the pink and orange dresses are just beautiful, Perfect for a Holiday.. ( just need to persuade either the mother or father to book one now..)

I'm a Little obsessed with the velvet numbers too, and I'm extremely tempted to wear them with tights right now! but i suppose it isn't appropriate seeing as there is still snow on the ground and i am ill already! gorgeous though, i think we hit the jackpot in h&m today. and if you have a h&m near you, i defiantly advise you all to go and have a rummage in there sale rail, the majority of the stuff was under 5 pound and reduced from 20s-40s!

The jeans are from primark, i recently bought a grey pair of these which are featured in this post here and couldn't believe how comfortable they are, how well they fit and how good the quality is for the price. and for 11 quid i though it was defiantly worth grabbing another pair, this time in a light denim colour, which i thought continued my summer scheme in clothing quite nicely ;)

a very successful shopping trip i must say, with everything minus the jeans reaching a grand total of £18 spent,im quite chuffed.

I love a good bargain. in case that wasn't obvious ;)

Big love for H&M at the mo,BIG love.

New Additions!

Well hello there you beauty's. guess what i have? some cheeky few additions to my already overflowing wardrobe. yay. :D soo i had a little retail therapy today,i didn't get much, because i don't want to go shopping right before Christmas just in case somebody gets me what I've just bought.. all the serious business will be done after Christmas And my birthday (31st of Jan,write it in your diary ;) with any moneys that i get :P

      but for the time being i got 3 tops to tide me over until i am free to shop,guilt free,once again!

Of course,i started off going straight to primark. and my god it was ridiculously busy in there.. but what do i expect? its 4 days before CHRISTMAS! I'd had my eye on this leopard print blouse for a while, but for some reason i never picked it up to try it on. when i saw my friend wearing it and realised how lovely it looked on, i couldn't pass,after all, its leopard print..and I'm the first to admit i am a devoted leopard print lover ;) I think this blouse looks rather flattering on,and i love how the back is longer than the front so its perfect with leggings. £10 pounds..bargain.

The Next thing that caught my eye(apart from the whole shop..but i couldn't buy it all) in primark was this simple dark grey and light grey striped jumper.. the thing that caught my eye most was purely the simplicity,i love how I'd be able to overload on accessories because the top is just simple. it's actually a really warm jumper,trust me iv found out the hard way. trying on all these winter clothes indoors with the heating full blast really took it out of me! ha ha. i love the high neckline and i am on the lookout for them collar type of necklace That i think would go perfectly with this.

next i went on to Tk maxx,the most stressful but rewarding shop of them all ;) i seriously love the shop and if you have the Patience you can get some seriously good deals.. Annoyingly this picture doesn't do this jumper justice. it just looks like a grey jumper in the pic. but in real life it has a diamond pattern all over which is slightly see through, but its so pretty. this jumper if from a brand called 'sweewe paris' which i have never heard of but every time i picked up something i liked it was that brand.. i think its because the jumpers are so snuggely soft that the feel of it instantly attracts me to them. next time i go to tk maxx i will be keeping an eye out for this brand because i Love the jumper.

Finally i took a trip into sports direct as they were having a majour sale,and i found this extra warm.. hmm,i have no idea what to call it.. Eskimo hat?.. Eskimo hat it is.

i think it was about a tenner which is a bargain,and i will defiantly be wearing this when it snows,which seems like it will be any day now!

feel free to comment and tell me what you think.. and have you done abit of cheeky shopping for yourself before Christmas? or are you being good and patient and waiting until the sales??
