Paradoxal

Shirt: Topshop, Maxi Skirt: New Look, Necklace: Gift, Bangle: H&M, Nails: Chanel 'Paradoxal'

Just a quick outfit for running errands in this confusing muggy but overcast weather. I actually like the way it came together with the big bun and the minimal jewellery! I'm also really enjoying being freckly after my holiday and therefore not feeling the need for anything other than I bit of concealer which makes a really nice change. I'm off to Bath tomorrow for a little bit of shopping with my sisters and I'm already feeling a bit excited about A/W clothes and a new pair of boots etc. Clearly I should get out more!

Top: American Apparel, Skirt: New Look, Necklace: Miss Selfridge, Nails: Barry M 'Peach Melba', Lips: Mac 'Creme Cup'

So nice to see some sun in the middle of all these rainy days! I've got all of these sandals and dresses and skirts stashed away that I shove on as soon as the sun comes out for a day. Today I was able to wear my new chiffon maxi skirt from New Look (reminds me a lot of the AA ones!!) and this pretty little American Apparel crop top that I got in London over GFW. It's a really simple and comfortable outfit that I know I'll wear a lot of if the weather allows.


Today my sister and I bought our first piece of stock for a little online shop we're setting up. Any recommendations on the best site to do this on? Our original thought was eBay as there's a lot of traffic but also considering other options now that we're getting a little more serious about it! I've also started back on the couch to 5k running programme. I've cheated a little and started on week 3 to push myself a bit more but I've done 3 runs and the 30 day shred in these last 3 days so I must be loving it. Would definitely recommend it!

Little Haul #2

Just wanted to quickly show some bits I picked up last week! It was one of those days that was full of good offers and discounts so I came away with more bits and pieces than I expected. My main reason for going shopping was to get some trainers. I was going to get some Vans but after trying on a pair of Superga's I fell in love and took them straight to the till. I haven't worn them yet because I haven't worn trainers in years and need to find a way that works for me, I'm so used to wearing ballet pumps and ankle boots! 

I had a 35% off code for H&M so I picked up these sunglasses for £3.99 and I think they're amazing, I also got this double necklace for around the same price and haven't taken it off really! I went into New Look for a hair doughnut and was told at the till it was buy one get one free jewellery and hair accessories. After several laps of the jewellery I found these earcuffs, and just took the chain and cuff off one so I could have one cross stud. Finally, Topshop in Bournemouth wasn't really doing it for me but I spotted this tunic in the buy it now section. I've seen and liked it before so I picked it up but I'm not sure if I love it enough to keep it. Also, it's a size too big which I thought wouldn't matter due to the smock shape but there may just be too much fabric aka it makes me look pregnant. Any thoughts? What bits have you picked up recently that you love?

Little Haul

Floral top: New Look, Vest: Topshop, Jeans: New Look, Necklaces: Both Miss Selfridge, Nail Varnish: Barry M Peach Melba and Top Coat/Base Coat/Nail Hardener, Concealer: Collection 2000

Hello! Currently chomping on an easter egg back at uni, about to crack open some 'Jeeves' (some kind of pimms esque drink I found in Lidl, of course). I didn't manage to get posts up before I headed back because I ended up in a bit of a whirlwhind of shopping, cream teas and seeing 21 Jump Street at the cinema. Thought I'd show you some of the bits I've picked up since being at home because if you're anything like me, you'll enjoy a little nosey. I also got some 7/8ths supersoft skinny's from New Look, their supersofts are my new favourites! The ones pictured here are only £12 and almost identical to Topshop Leighs even down to the little darker coloured turn up. Both the necklaces were only £1 each in the Miss Selfridge sale so definitely check that out! Just grabbed some cheapy bits in Boots 3 for 2. Love the concealer so far but thought I would after all the good reviews.
