Haul / Clothes & Accessories

Autumn always puts me in the mood for shopping. I love buying winter stuff - the colours, the textures, the variety... when it comes to clothes hauls, I'm never sure what to say - Pictures definitely speak louder than words so here is what I picked up recently.

Forever 21 Life In Progress Bleached Denim Shirt Dress

I've been looking for a denim shirt dress exactly like this one, for while! 

I can take or leave the bleached effect, but the length is perfect (not too short that I can also wear it at the office) and it has a built-in braided leather elastic belt. I think it would look super sexy with cowboy boots - unfortunately, I just have regular boots ;) 

Zara Denim Skater Skirt

A cute weekend alternative - I'm planning to wear it casual with a white shirt tucked in and trainers.

Zara Pinstripe Mini Skirt

There are some fab skirts in Zara, this season!

Love the pinstripes, the ruffle and the fabric is super soft... it's not that mini either.

Dorothy Perkins Cobalt Twist Neck Tee

Something comfortable for the office. I like the texturized effect and what a gorgeous colour... although it looks like it's going to crease like crazy, otherwise I would get one in every colour - it's a nice basic top.

Dorothy Perkins Mirrored Floral Print

I've been wanting this for a while: I like the mirrored effect, the floral, the pastels and the more you look the more you see stuff (never noticed the ballerina until now). It's very flattering on, too!

I scored these Warehouse earrings for £2 - woop woop - I think they are cute! :)

Also, picked up a couple of items from the Asos sales:

Matt And Nat Japanese Paper Wallet

I thought the distressed effect was pretty cool and also the wrap around string. It looks pretty roomy but at the same time compact and flat. 

Becksondergaard C-Starry Sky Burgundy Scarf

umm, like I need another scarf (!)

Personally, I don't know this brand but there is a bunch of different scarves on sale for £8, down from £33 so I decided to buy one and then see if I liked it. I like it! :)

It's very long but thin so you can wrap it around easily; I like burgundy and the silver stars that are stitched on. 

... that's all folks! :)

Shopping for Basics...

... has been a nightmare!!!

I, usually, get my  basic vests from Topshop but they don't seem to be doing the model that I like anymore; I still have a black and a red ones but they are few years old and I wanted some light colours to wear underneath these blouses.

Anyway, I tried the ones they have in store now and they are so ill-fitted... very uncomfortable and too long.

I, also, popped in Dorothy Perkins, New Look but no luck... and ended in H&M where they have a huge variety... so I might have gone a bit overboard! ;P

This is a perfect colour match for the pearl details blouse from the link above...

I liked the strap details of these ones... this charcoal colour is really beautiful, kinda of shiny... and you'll always need a white vest!

Finally, these vests were 3for2 - again, pretty lace details on the shoulders... and colours that will go nicely with everything in my wardrobe.

Seriously, if you're looking for vests, I'd recommend to check H&M... there are plenty of colours and different styles... and cheap, too!

Where do you buy your basics? :)

OOTD

Picked up this wee vest from Topshop today. I like the print, feels romantic and old fashion; also colours combination of brown & coral is going to be a big trend this spring. Maybe, I just wish it wasnt cropped.

H&M and designers against aids have collaborated with some of the world's most talented artists to produce a series of piece of clothing; 25% of the sales is gonna be donated towards hiv/aids education and prevention worldwide... so you also don't feel guilty for shopping. :)

TATE DIVINE!!!

I haven't got any other Tatty Devine jewelry; honestly, I think that they can be a bit too pricey (considering it's just plastic!) and also some pendants are too big (and quite tacky)... but I also like most of them: for example this bracelet is from the collection exclusively for the Tate Gallery, so I love the idea of the pantone... also I like that the charms come off, so you can also wear just one colour, if you want.

Also, popped in Topshop in the afternoon 'cause the new Kate Moss collection came out today but didn't buy any item from it; instead I got this cute LACE BACK VEST:

Fitting Room: H&M

You can't really tell from the picture, but the vest has got sparkling filaments knitted into it... it's a berry purple colour and I like the length: it could nearly be a dress.
