Recent Buys

I got this t-shirt in Zara - I have a soft spot for pugs so I couldn't resist... I think it's a cool top!

I also just finished catching up on True Blood S05 so right into vampires as well ;)

I have been keeping an eye on this Warehouse Colour Block Parka since I saw it in autumn - I got in the sale for £49.50, down from £95... I think you can't go wrong with a coat for under 50quid.

The photo is not doing it justice, really: it looks like a designer, expensive coat with its sleek cut. 

Finally, I also picked up this Lace Collar Blouse from Warehouse.

 I think the sheer fabric and the cream colour makes this shirt the perfect romantic addition to any wardrobe; the pretty lace applique on the collar is gonna look great against a winter sweater, too.

I got Curve ID-ed

I've been wanting to try the Levis Curve ID for some time now... so I popped into a store last week to get measured.

Basically - you can read better and in more details on the website - they're measuring your proportions more than your size and based on that there're 3 main categories... for me, the verdict is Demi Curve.

I tried a couple for different style - they do skinny, straight, bootcut... - and the size was spot on and I bought a pair of straight leg ones. 

What I like in a jeans? low waist, bum shape and dark colour.

I love them!!! They feel and fit so good... and they're, also, doing the sale so I got mine for £59 down from £85 and I'm ok with that price for a pair of jeans.

Honestly, where can you get a pair of good jeans for lower? I'm used to buy Diesel, anyway. 

I had a couple of pairs from Topshop but they all end up in pieces; I don't know what I did with them but they didn't last me more than a year... and I have some Diesel's ones for 8 years AND they look good! Sorry but I do think you can see the difference.

Sorry for the crappy photo but I'll make sure to post some pictures of me wearing them soon :)

To compensate, I bought a couple of cheap tops ;)

Actually, I saw Essie-Button! wearing these in some youtube videos and I thought they were sooo pretty!

I don't, normally, shop in H&M anymore... simply because their stores, in Glasgow, are always chaos! I can never find what I'm looking for; also, the website is a bit crap (and I do a lot of 'window shopping' online) so I end up never finding what I want in store..

But I don't have an aversion for H&M, I want to be clear, in fact I used to shop there when I was living in Cardiff and I go with my sister in Italy...

Anyway, here is what I got - one was 14something and the other 19something... I like proper-lady blouses with a bit of a edge ;)

I like the pansies print and fake leather collar on this one...

... and I like the pastel mint colour  and pearls details on this one...

Have you tried Levi's Curve ID? Do you like them?

Delivery / Asos

Few bits that I picked up in the ASOS sale

A Wear Dress with Angel Sleeve Details

This is very flattering - the elastic waistline makes my waist look tiny; also, the angel sleeves are great for hiding... let's say undefined biceps ;)

Love the nautical print but it's got that extra edge of the contrast between the green boats and the blue.

I've, already, wore it once at a friend's bbq (look to follow soon).

ASOS Blouse with Lace Trims and Bow Detail

This is the ultimate romantic blouse - it's so pretty with the sheer chiffon and the lace.

It's, also, on trend with the nautical theme, again (I'm obsessed, apparently... hehe) with the blue of the details and the squared sailor collar.

I'm not a fan of the cropped cut but I need to wear a vest underneath anyway because it's see-through.

I had been keeping an eye on this shirt for a while and once it got on sale, I had to have it! :)

Do you buy from Asos, often?

Clothes Haul

I haven't bought any clothes in a while, actually - here are a few things I picked up recently.

River Island Light Beige Bird Print Chelsea Girl Top

First, I saw the dress on the website... I just loved the print but the model was pretty boring.

Gladly, I found the blouse in store and when I tried it, I also liked the cut.

The material is kinda of silky and very soft; I hope they're going to make more of these with different prints 'cause it's so flattering. 

Affordable too - it's £15.

(Tights are from Primark - nothing special to add there!)

Last week, Debenhams was running a 25% off on clothes and, on saturday, I received an email with a promo code for extra 10% - so, I decided to order few pieces on the website. 

I also used quidco for cashback so I think I got a pretty good deal and saved close to 20 pounds. :)

J by Jasper Conran - Brown Pleat Front A-line Skirt

This skirt has a beautiful line that suits everybody - I love the colour and I think it will look great with the River Island shirt above.

J by Jasper Conran - Dark Red Ethnic Print Dress

Fitting room picture is a must!! ;)

I fell in love with this dress as soon as I spotted it in store few weeks back. I'm - mostly - inpressed with the print but It feels great on the skin, too. It has long sleeves but it's very fresh so I will, definitely, bring this with me in Italy - perfect for an evening stroll.

Davina McCall for Next - the Fit Shoes

I remember seeing this online, when the collection was announced back in December... but then I totally forgot about them!

I like the Cath Kidston-esque print meet Converse style.

They have pink soles and no laces... I think they're pretty cute. :)

New Look Limited Edition

Liked this blouse at first glance – it’s from the limited collection and can easily be dressed up or down. I like to wear it with the bow neck tie undone but of course you need to wear something underneath because it’s too see-through. I mainly bought it to wear on top of the goddess dress in winter.

also got My Fitness Coach disk for Wii; i've been using the Wii Fit for over a year now... I love it, it really works for me, but it's starting to get a bit boring... in any cause if I don't like it, Sports Active is out next week, so I can also this that one.
