#10 New In: Holiday/Sale Haul: Part 2: Shoes & Accessories: Dorothy Perkins, Primark, Topshop, River Island & Select

Dorothy Perkins:

I love this necklace. It's a real statement piece! I think the black rope contrast really well with the gold chains. It was half price in the sale and I got student discount too! It's probably one of my favourite pieces I've bought.

Also half price in their sale and I got student discount too. I loved the turquoise bluey/green against the silver and it'll be a nice addition to my holiday outfits.

River Island:

£5
There are 5 ear cuffs in this pack, so really each ear cuff was £1, which I think is really good. There's a nice mix of coloured metals in there with the added different design, gem and a charm on each. I love ear cuffs...

Topshop:

...So I got some moreeee! Only this time in Topshop. There is a whole variety on here so I can definitely mix and match them!

 Primark:

£3
I bought ones really similar to these from ASOS the other day and I love how you can wear as many as you like, stack them and mix and match them. These were only £3 so I wanted to add them to my collection.

 £4
I love, love, love this necklace. It's got a tribal edge to it with the colours and design. I love the red and turquoise and think it would look brilliant against a plain canvas like a black top. Really cheap for a statement necklace too!

Again... quite ethnic and boho is this necklace. I can't remember how much it cost but it was hardly anything. I love the turquoise colour in it (Can you tell there's a theme!). I think this would look nice with a floaty, summery dress.

£3 each
How cute are these... they match! I love these, they look quite ethnic with the silver, red and turquoise. I wore the cuff on a night out the other day and I love it. I think the earrings will look great too as I've got short hair.

 £6

Love these. I've always wanted to try the heel-less wedges but never got round to it, so when I spotted them in primark at less than half price, I definitely wanted to give them a go. They're a lovely colour, perfect coral for summer and would look really pretty with a nice floaty dress.

£12, £6
I picked these up as I didn't have any sandals or shoes that I could wear on a holiday. They were half price (I didn't want to buy full price as I didn't think I'd get my wear out of sandals really) and they don't have that in between your toes thingy that I HATE! The nude/tan colour is the perfect colour for me as I can put them with any colour and not have to worry that they don't match. 

£12 or £10 (Can't remember) £6

Same here as with the last. No in between the toes thingy, black in colour to match with outfits easy and half price. Really simple to wear and I really liked the design in studs.

 Select:

I picked these up before I'd bought sandals as I wasn't too sure what I wanted, they were on sale like the others and are sooo simple and easy to wear because of the plain nude colour. I loved the rose gold spikes on the back too for the added edge.

I hope you've liked seeing what I've bought recently.
Have you got any holiday's planned or bought anything specifically for going away?

#7 New In: ASOS Haul Feat. MinkPink, River Island & New Look

Mahooosive Asos Haul

[Warning: This post is picture heavy and contains a lot of colour and print!]

I really hope you like haul posts as this is a big one. I've been meaning to post this for a while now and have finally gotten around to sorting it out. I can't wait to show you all what I got because I really love the stuff I got!

So two or three weeks ago Asos held a special offer day where students got 20% off their shop. Being a savvy shopper, I'd been putting quite a few items into my 'saved items' section on the website and went for gold when the offer was made available.

Clothing:

Mixed Print Trousers- Asos

Over the last few weeks I have been a massive fan of printed trousers and these are just another pair to add to my collection. I absolutely love the bright blue on there with the clashing red and contrasting orange and purple print down the sides and on the waist band. They are so light and comfy and are just perfect!

Paisley Print Midi Skirt- Asos

This skirt isn't something I would normally go for but I loved it on the model on ASOS as it was wore in a really casual but cool way. I love the mix of ethnical and paisley print and the coral and pink colours in it.

2 Scarf Print Tube Skirts- Asos

How perfect are these skirts! I love the mix and clashing of colours and print on the both of them. They fit like gloves and really suck you in. The second one is a thicker material than the first so has better hold and is my favourite out of both. I think I'll be wearing on of these on a night out soon with my girls and taking them on holidays with me (If I get one booked that is!).

'Petite' Swing Crop Top- Asos

Buttoned Lace Midi Skirt- River Island via Asos

Both of these items make a great pair. The top is a swing top so is really floaty and loose, perfect for summer holidays but it exclusive to the 'petite' range at Asos only and as a result is a very short crop. The skirt is from River Island on Asos and is quite similar to the last green midi lace skirt I bought from Miss Selfridge that I featured in one of the other new in posts I've done. Nevertheless I really like it, and as I said before looks great with the crop top.

'Chelsea Girl' Fringed Kimono- River Island via Asos

Probably my favourite piece from the haul is this amazing kimono from the Chelsea Girl Collection at River Island via Asos. It is just perfect. I love the embroidery, print, the colours and the fringing. I can't wait to wear this! It's definitely coming with me on holidays! I'm really loving kimono's at the moment, they are so easy to wear and can make a great statement.

'Chelsea Girl' Cut Out Playsuit- River Island via Asos

Another from River Island via Asos and from the Chelsea Girl Collection is this playsuit. I love the embroidered print yet again, which is almost the same as the print on the kimono and the cut out detail it has too. Another that's destined for a holiday abroad!

Distant Traveller Print Palazzo Pants- MinkPink via Asos

How amazing are these!!!!!! I spotted Vanessa Hudgens wearing these when I was flicking through some stuff online and she looked really good in them and was my main inspiration for buying them. They definitely make a statement! The legs are huge and massively floaty but don't feel heavy when worn at all, though I definitely need to get the sewing kit out and shorten them. I love the lilac colour and print and the low waist on them.

Accessories:

Initial 'L' Beanie- Asos

It's a beanie, it has an L on it, what more can I say? It's really cute!

'Love' Ear Cuff- Asos

As I've said before, I am a huge lover of ear cuffs and having short hair like I have is perfect for showing them off. It's a really cute piece to add to my ever growing collection.

Rose Gold Pinky Ring- Asos

This pinky ring is just adorable! Rose Gold is still my favourite colour for jewellery and has been massive over the last year. I've said loads of times that I'm a huge fan of rings and as well as getting this ring I also got these...

Set of 8 Gold Rings- Asos

These make the perfect addition to any ring collection as there are great for stacking up and mixing and matching. They come in a range of widths and will jazz up your hands in a matter of seconds! Love them.

Nude Winged Handbag- New Look via Asos

Last but not least is this 'New Look' bag. I love it, it's a lovely Nude colour, has winged sides and is very spacious and has lots of room inside. It has a zip compartment inside as well as a small pocket to fit your phone in. Comes with a longer, over the shoulder strap too. Makes a nice change from black and brown bags as its lighter for summer.

Asos definitely have some amazing pieces online right now and I know it's really bad, but my saved items is full again. What's a girl to do ey? And how awesome is it that they are stocking Primark items now. I think it's a fantastic idea!

It's been a while coming but I really hope you've liked my haul. Have you bought anything from Asos recently?

#4 New In: Primark & Miss Selfridge

Helllooooo!

I went SHOPPINGGGGG!

So yesterday me and my mum decided to hop on the train and head out shopping for the day in Cardiff, so I thought I'd show you some of what I got. As the title suggests I only really bought stuff from Primark and Miss Selfridge as I couldn't be bothered to wait most of the time in the queues for the changing rooms and then to pay and most of the things I liked didn't have my size anyway.

Primark Oversived T-shirts- Both £6

In all honesty I wasn't too sure about these when I first picked them up just because they are SO oversized and I'm so small. I got them in a size 6 and they are pretty much like really baggy dresses on me. The varsity trend is big at the moment though and these types of tops are everywhere so I thought I'd give them a go. I quite like oversized clothing for those days where you're not really in the mood for having to think about what to wear and just want something comfy so I know I will definitely wear them.

Primark Black & White Aztec Print Trouser

Primark Navy Tile Print Trouser With Side Stripe

Both £12

I'm really loving printed trousers (like everyone else) at the moment and one of my favourite pieces I've been wearing recently have been my Primark elephant print trousers that I featured in my last ootd post so when I saw these, I knew I had to have them too. They're lovely and soft, as well as cool and airy for those summer  days where it's not really hot enough and you don't really feel like wearing shorts. They are really lightweight and easy to wear and I can't wait to wear them.

Primark Neon Aztec Scarf & Primark Multi Skull Print Scarf- Both £4

I'm always wearing scarves and I loved the colours in both of these so for £4 I couldn't really say no. They are so simple and easy to wear, thin and lightweight and I love the print and design on the both of them.

Primark Multi Colour Print Top- 

I don't really know how to describe this top. I don't really think it's an 'aztec' type of print but similar and has lots of different sized triangles with individual prints on it. It has really cute gold buttons all down the back and is nice and lightweight. There were only 4 of these left on the rack and when I went through them none were my size but I got this regardless in a size 16 but it doesn't even look big on. Primark sizing can be really off sometimes! Nevertheless, I really like it anyway.

Miss Selfridge Lace Midi Skirt- £30, £15           Primark Large Clutch Bag With Strap- £8

                                                                       Miss Selfridge Ear Cuffs- £2 & £3

I bought the bag in Primark after trying for ages to find a bag big enough for my purse (it's one of those long rectangular ones that just doesn't fit in any clutch ever) but yet small enough to be a bag you can just pick up and go with it quickly. Well... this is it, it's a nice size to fit in just the essentials such as purse, phone, sunglasses, keys etc and has what I think is kind of a cowboy/western type pattern on.

I love all the floaty, boho type of pieces Miss Selfridge has and this skirt is so lovely on. The picture just does no do it justice. As for the Miss Selfridge ear cuffs... I bought my first ear cuff in Topshop at the begining of last ear and since then I cannot get enough of them. I think these ear cuffs are a great change to the normal long feathered earrings you see people wearing and these really suit my type of hairstyle as one of my ears is always on show. It's nice to be able add a little something to it now and then, especially when they only cost £2-£3!

I also bought a belt in Primark which I forgot to photograph and some pyjamas too!

Hope you've all had a nice day!
