Summer Jewels

 H&M Silver necklace, Accessorize necklace, Black Onyx necklace from Brick Lane in London

All Accessorize, accept the spiky one which is Miss Selfridge

I've been getting into accessories a bit lately and thought I'd share some of my go-to pieces right now. I've found Accessorize, Topshop & H&M to be really good for jewelry. Also, if any of you can help, I'm in major need of a necklace wrap/travel storage thing for jewelry so comment below if you know of any.

Recently Bought #4

As mentioned I am moving to London next month to start my new job (eek). They wear casual clothes in the office, so obviously I have been picking up some new bits and pieces. Here's what I have so far (I say so far because it is only going to get worse)...

This top from ASOS is so cool. They didn't have a size 10 left and I didn't want to get an 8 in case it was too tight, so this is actually from the maternity section ha. It fits really well though, just hope I haven't pre-empted anything there!

I loveee berry knitwear and to date have been stealing my sisters jumper, which is very similar to this. This one fits snuggly on the arms and then flows down nice and flattering on your body. It's also not to thick that you need to remove all your clothes when you get in the building after racing to work. 

I'm one of those people. This is a Ramones band t-shirt and I don't really listen to the Ramones. Kill me now huh? I didn't know it was until I got it as I just hurled it in the basket as a throw over jeans t-shirt. It's cool though and I'll learn a few songs for when people ask me. 

Bah, this is so creased! Also, I clearly can't hang clothes straight. This was a bargain and looks so good underneath the berry jumper. 

Still not sure about the back flaps on this Warehouse jumper haha but it fits really well and looks pretty cool. It's a thin knit with leather piping, which gives it a bit of somethin-somethin. Obviously not enough for the designers though "This jumper is missing something.... What about some flaps/wings?! Genius"

Oversized t-shirts are the bomb aren't they? They just go with everything! Leggings, jeans, jeggings and all kinds of other cross-bred clothing options. This is a coffee-nude colour, which really drew me in. Already had lots of compliments and I look cooler than I actually am.

My camera hates this print, it's freaking my eyes out. These are from H&M and they are so flattering! I wore them to a few interviews as I was going for marketing/creative jobs and I didn't want to look to suited up, yet still smart. I will deffo be rocking these on a night out with some chunky heels v.soon.

You're eyes are not playing tricks, this is the same jumper as the berry one, but in navy. I got this one first and loved it. I'm really into navy at the moment as an alternative to black, especially as I feel like all I wear is black sometimes. 

Creased, again. This Illustrated People sweatshirt is just too cute. It has a fleece lining too, so it is super cosy and again means I'm not always wearing black!

Hope you liked this clothing haul, I'm sure there is more to come. Let me know if you have posted any hauls or have any lust posts, as I am still looking out for some new clothes!

Lipstick Kisses.

Shirt - h&m
Scarf - h&m
Leggings - h&m
Boots - m&s
Bracelet - Miss Selfridge

Taking outfit photos is quite a skill. One I haven't mastered! First off, it's hard to find a good spot (hence, the corner of the table ha!) and then not look like a weirdo when you start taking the photos (what has happened to my leg?). I couldn't include any photos of my face either because I have the biggest bags under my eyes ever at the moment and nobody got time for that.

Onto the outfit. This is one of my favorite shirts from h&m ever. I got it in a large so it's super baggy and so far, I've worn it all year round with leggings, jeans and even over the top of a bikini on holiday (not round town or something!). The back and sleeves are a jersey material and the front is more urm shirt material (?) so it's really comfy, but quite dressy too. 

I hate these leggings because they go really baggy, but at 7am I couldn't be arsed to find any of my good ones, so we won't bother talking about those. My black boots have a mid chunky heel and are from M&S, I think old marks and sparks do some pretty decent boots, so i'd recommend checking them out if your price range is more £30 ish. 

Finally, you cant see it very well, but I got this grey scarf with lipstick prints on from h&m today and it is so cute. Its one of those ones that's one big loop rather than a traditional scarf and if you know me well, you will know that scarfs are kinda my thing. 

Hope you all have a good weekend! The weather is suppose to be shocking in the UK still (proof shown by my hair), so who knows what i will get up to...

Recently Bought #1

I have a shopping addiction. Admitting a problem is the first stage of recovery right? I feel better already! I've been shopping in Birmingham and Worcester recently and thought it would make a good blog post if I showed y'all what I had been splashing my cash on. I love reading other peoples hauls and seeing their recent purchases, so hopefully this will be enjoyable, although I don't think I'm particularly fashionable....

Ralph Lauren Check & Faux Fur Coat - Tkmaxx
Leather Sleeve Blazer - H&M

Let's just talk about this coat for a minute, cause I'm in love. Some of you will have seen me post this on my Instagram already. I got in in Birmingham last weekend from Tkmaxx for £79.99 instead of £299.99, now that's a bargain! It's so on trend with the checks and fur and is kinda making me look forward to those freezing cold days. Next up is this blazer from H&M, which looks a but shit in my photo, but it's so nice in real life! I've had lots of compliments and it only cost me £30, which I think is really good for how expensive it looks. 

 

Cat Dress - H&M
Basic Top - H&M 

This dress is brilliant. I got this in the H&M sale for £7 i think and it looks really good with some black boots for the A/W. We have a causal dress code at work, so anything that's easy to throw on at 7:30 in the morning is a winner for me. I also got this basic top and one in grey from H&M. I really like these tops, they are only £7 and they feel so soft and are the perfect length for throwing over leggings. H&M are doing a conscious fashion scheme at the moment where you can get £5 off when you spend £30 if you donate a carrier bag of old clothes and/or material (click here for more details), makes me feel better about buying more!

White shirt - Primark
Fluro Cardigan - ASOS

I'm such a sucker for a shirt. All my friends will tell you that my shirt collection is a little ridiculous! I got this one and a grey-ish one from Primark to tuck into shorts and shirts (it's a little too short for leggings) and for £8 (i think), you can't go too wrong. This cardigan is from ASOS, I saw it on a few blogs and it's so cute. It's a blazer style, so it really dresses up your daytime outfit without being too OTT. 

 

Shoes - Gordon Scott from Jones
Socks - Primark

I splurged £85 to get a decent pair of shoes from Jones rather than more shitty ones that are too flat. They look a bit weird in this picture because they are suede, but I assure you they are lovely and black. I also picked up some little pop socks from Primark for these shoes and my vans, as they are too low to wear normal socks. 

Coat hangers - Primark 

Ok, so this might be random until you see this post from Miss Budget Beauty and then you will understand why I needed these. I got like 4 packs of 10 and I definitely recommend - it's amazing how much space I have in my wardrobe now. 

Loreal EverRiche Shampoo & Conditioner - Boots 

This is on offer in Boots at the moment, so I decided to get some for when my current shampoo and conditioner runs out. I've seen this collection getting a lot of love on other blogs, so I'm interested to see if they live up to the hype. if you're keen to try them out, it's two for £12 in Boots at the mo!

Room Diffusers - H&M

I never realized how expensive these things can be before, so I've been waiting for some to come on a deal or something as I don't really want to pay too much money ha. H&M have some really nice smelling ones in the sale for £4 each at the moment, so I decided to snap up the cotton flower and pure vanilla ones.

If you guys like these kinds of posts, let me know in the comment box as I might make them more regular. It's not hard, as I'm always buying something - oops!
