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?

Inspo no.2.

Hello everyone, 

After my last inspiration post went down well (who doesn't love a page full of pretty pictures?) I thought I'd do another since I enjoy scrolling through Pinterest so much (read: too much.)

Now I know that I am after a black floppy hat/over-sized fedora, but this post just makes me look like an obsessive, I didn't even realize how many of these images featured a hat! Also shoes, all I want in life at the moment seems to be in the form of footwear. I'm sure that means something. I can never get over how stunnign Audrey Hepburn was. I have major brow envy now too. 

What's been inspiring you lately?

On Wednesday we wear pink.

Hello everyone, 

As you may or may not know, today is ten years since the infamous film Mean Girls was released, (can you believe it was 2004?) |I think this could be one of the most quoted films ever, and I for one blummin' love it, so  I thought I would pay homage by creating an outfit inspired by the main charter Cady Heron. I was having a bad face/bad hair/ bad body day when I shot these photos, so please excuse that! 

Lacoste Polo- Vintage (eBay) 

Jeans- Topshop Joni

Ring- Pandora

Bracelet- Pandora 

Heels- Deichmann 

I'm pretty proud to say that my polo is the same brand as Cady's (or Damien's should I say) This Lacoste one is one of my best eBay finds, it was only around £3! It's super comfy and because it's cropped look lovely with anything highwaisted. I really should wear it more because it's so versatile. 

I thought my gorgeous Pandora bracelet went perfectly with this ensemble. I'm totally obsessed with it! I'm really loving simple pieces of jewelry at the moment and this defiantly ticks that box.

This is one of my favorite spring nail polishes, Maybelline's Mint for life. It goes really well with this shade of pink too. 

I popped on my nude heels on as a little nod to when her character becomes one of the Plastics, a bit different to her usual `sneakers`!

Are you a Mean Girls fan? What do you think of my attempt at Cady's outfit?

Spring inspo.

Hello everyone,

I was recently scrolling through one of my favourite places on the internet, Pinterst, and I deiced that these pictures were too pretty to be kept to myself! You must have guess by the title that these are all spring themed, I love this season; not too hot not too cold, lots of excuse to eat chocolate e.t.c. e.t.c. so I hope you take some inspo from them too. 

All photographs are from Pinterest (one or two from Google images)

You may have sensed a theme; classic makeup, co-ords, lace, pastels, pale blue and any kind of head gear is doing it for me right now. I mean would you look at that gingham bikini/underwear? *swoons*, and this post has further affirmed my need for a pair of ripped skinnies and skate shoes. Send funds please. 

What are you being inspired by at the moment? Do you love spring as much as me? 

Oh and leave your Pinterst usernames bellow, I love finding new boards to follow! Mine is alicecevans808.
