Haul: Shopping the January sales

Hello everyone, 

I did a spot of shopping last week and I thought you might like to see some of the bits I picked up. I found some real bargains this time! Please do excuse the quality of these pictures, the winter lighting struggle is real.

So lets start with trusty Primark. I bought this gorgeous lilac coat for just £10! It was £25 at full price so I couldn't really say no. It is a slightly over-sized fit and so so warm, I feel like it will be perfect for when it's still cold but I want my outfits to feel more springlike. 

I picked up these slouchy trousers (£10) because they are looked so comfy! They will be fab for sixth form  and just days when I wan't to be the optimum of comfort but not look too dressed down (read: not in a pair of trackies but wishing I was.)

I want to start doing some jogging to get myself a little fitter, so I figured it would be a good idea to pick up some appropriate clothes. These running trousers were only £9 so should be good for getting me going! 

I also purchased this sports bra / top (wishful thinking for my non toned stomach) because I loved the print. They has matching bottoms but they were rather see through. Primark's gym range is really impressive, so I'm sure I'll be popping back to have a look soon. 

Lastly just this top, I can't wait for spring to roll around so I can start! I cannot face running about whilst the weather is like this (its raining and snow is rumored for tomorrow night, I hope you feel my pain)

From New Look I picked up this dark peach scalloped top. Lots of people asked me if it was from Topshop but it was a little cheaper at jut £12.99! This is a really great basic to have in my collection as it looks nice with pretty much everything. 

I also bought this gorgeous skirt. I think it's very Motel and I love the blues. It feels really good quality and the design itself would be worth the slightly high price of £17.99 for me. 

I found these trousers in the sale for only £9 which was fab considering I was after them at full price! Like the khaki ones from Primark they will be perfect for lazier days. 

From this Miss Selfridge sale I bought this gorgeous dark floral top. I love the lace panel and flowy sleeves, I'm loving anything boho at the moment! This was £10 down from £35. 

Keeping the shirt theme , I bought this stunning one from Topshop. The collar has the most delicate lace and it's just so pretty! I feel like this will go with everything but is still quite a one off piece. This was £18 from £36, so a really good markdown at half price. 

I also bought this adorable thsirt! Ah I love the puppies. This is from the Tee and cake Topshop concession which make my favorite tshirts and you really do get what you pay for in terms of the quality and design. But saying that I only paid £5 for this when the original price of £22!

(Sorry if this too much info) but how pretty is this underwear? The bra was £3 (I know £3) down from £18 and the underwear £2 and £4 and all from Topshop. All so so gorgeous and fit perfectly. 

What do you think of what I bought? Have you found any gems lately?

The Christmas day outfit.

OOTD #61

Hello everyone, 

Sorry if this post is a little irrelevant now, but I loved my outfit this Christmas day!

Headband- Primark

Bardort- H&M 

Skirt- Vintage 

Bracelet- Pandora 

Heels- New Look 

I bought this skirt in a charity shop in Bath way back in around May and I finally had an opportunity to wear it! I would never normally pick something like this out, but it felt so lovely on that I couldn't resist. I paired it with my faithful H&M bardot (I live in it) to keep the vintage look going. It sits perfectly on the waist leaving just a tiny bit of midriff. I popped on my Primark furry headband which I've not been out of this winter. It feel it makes me look slightly more Christmassy (I was very cold taking these pictures!) I bought these shoes about a month ago. I was looking for something closed toe as it is, you know, winter, but it is impossible to find a nice pair! I do like these though, they are really comfy and I love the detail on the front. 

I had a lovely Christmas this year, I hope you all did as well!

When Alice did Paris: Outfit #1.

OOTD #60

Bonjour tout le monde! 

Guess who is finally writing a blog post?! I have well and truly slacked for the past few months in terms of blogging. I'm annoyed with myself for letting time run away with me quite so badly! Setting that aside, I've got lots of material from Paris to blog about so yay! I had the most incredible time. It was everything I wanted it to be and more- I always worry when you hear so much about a city or specific place that you are going to underwhelmed, but Paris was worth all it's hype. I'm now dreaming about  living there if my french is ever good enough!

On the first full day we visited the Louvre and the Tuileries (which I will have a full post on soon) and this is what I wore, firstly with my jacket and scarf and after with a lipstick change!

Mac- Primark

Scarf- Vintage 

Top- Primark 

Belt- Primark 

Watch- Olivia Burton 

Shorts- River Island 

Tights- M&S 

Boots- Office 

Whilst I was taking these pictures, I was being stared at by confused french teenagers, so bare with the poses!

These shorts were a fab sale find, only £12 from about £30 I think. They are a really nice thick material so perfect for winter with a pair of tights. I'm really loving hounds-tooth at the moment so they are right up my street. Roll necks have become a favourite of mine this season, I think they look so smart. This one is more of a t-shirt material than a jumper, so I've ordered a nice thick one for when it gets colder. These boots are my staff shoe and served me well in Paris. The weather was lovely the whole time were where there, not cold at all, so I made the most of wearing this not-so-warm outfit!

I hope you are all good, let me know what you've been up to! I missed interacting with all you lovely people. 

What do you think of this outfit? Have you been to Paris?

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well,

This is something wore to sixth form last week, it looks quite A/W appropriate despite the fact that it's been so mild, I want it to feel like October now!

Crop top- Primark

Skirt- Miss Selfridge 

Watch- Olivia Burton 

Bracelet- Pandora

Tights- M&S 

Shoes- Topshop  

This crop top is something I picked up this time last year, although truth be told I didn't wear it much, but it is the perfect match with this skirt. I love the mix of colours included on it, normally I'm not a fan of red and purple, but it just works here! This skirt is a staple in my wardrobe all year round and always works well with crop tops. I'm also still loving my ombre! 

Still in love with my watch, it's the most perfect accessory in autumn.  

I'm so glad these shoes are now comfy! They have been successfully broken in and can just be thrown on with anything which is the beauty of them, they add a tougher edge to some of my girly outfits as well. 

What do you think of this outfit? Are you a fan of crop tops even when it's getting colder?

Maybe I pulled the panic cord.

Hello my loves, everyone's week going well? I took these photos hours before I ombred my hair, it feels weird seeing it like this already!

This is a super simple outfit that brings together some items that I've been living in lately. 

Crop top- Topshop

Watch- Olivia Burton 

Jeans- H&M

Belt- Primark 

Shoes- Topshop

I never thought I'd be a Mom jeans gal, but after trying on a few pairs I was hooked on finding some! This H&M pair fitted the bill nicely, a goregous denim wash, perfect turn ups and flattering high waist. They are still too big for me around the waist  (story of my life) but this Primani belt sorts that problem out nicely. 

I've broken these shoes in! I was moaning about them in my last outfit post, but they're all good now, become a total fave of mine, they go with everything. 

Watch on as per, I'm always complemented on it which is just lovely :)

I'm still snowed under with sixth form work, although I am going to Oxford this Saturday which should be good, one of my favorite places ever. 

What do you think of my outfit? What are you up to this week?
