Mini Uni Haul: Mainly Clothes & Some Accessories!

Hiya guys! I've been shopping a bit lately and thought I'd show you what I've been buying (I say that, but my mum has bought me most of these things for uni!).

I'll start with clothes, as that's what I have the most of (I've been throwing out loads lately)!

CLOTHES

Dorothy Perkins (my favourite store, can you tell from the amount I buy from there?!)


Cream Cocktail Rings Snood; £9.50 (here)

Isn't this adorable? I love wearing scarves, and think this can go with anything because of it's cream background and black print. It's easy to wear and I really like it!

Navy Lace Back Cami; £16 £10 (here)

This little vest top is going to be a staple in my wardrobe. It can be dressed down, with a cardigan and jeans or dressed up with shorts or bodycon skirt and showing the lacy back! 

Damson Heart Motif Sweat; £16 (here)

This jumper may not look like much, but it's so soft and comfy and perfect for Autumn/Winter!

Eden Black Ultra Soft Jeggings; £23 (here)

I've never been a lover of jeggings... until I tried these. Ohmygod, they're so so so comfy and feel so soft but look like a pair of black skinny jeans! I also love the 'jean like' detail on the waistband, that makes these look like proper jeans.

New Look

AX Paris Black Dip Hem Strapless Dress; £35 (here)

Can't find this in black on the website, but my one is definitely black! I saw this in New Look, a shop I rarely go in, and fell in love with it! With the dipped hem and floaty material, I feel like a princess when I wear this! The bust part is perfect for me, which I was originally sceptical of as I have big boobs and sometimes struggle to squeeze them in tight fit dresses like this! I honestly don't think pictures do this dress justice, it looks so much better on and I can't wait to wear it out and about at uni :)


ACCESSORIES

Accessorize

Peacock Feather Owl Pendant; £12 (here)

Me and my mum saw this adorable necklace and we just had to get it! It's so cute, and can be worn with anything (e.g the black dress above to brighten it up!!).

Lace Overlay Clutch; £25 (here)

I needed a going out clutch bag and thought this was perfect! It comes with a strap, which I probably won't use but it's a handy option. The pattern is lovely and elegant and I love this because it will go with everything!

That's it - thanks for reading! What have you been buying lately?

Clothes & Beauty Haul!

Hi guys :)

Thought I'd show you a few things I picked up from Lakeside recently, mainly for my holiday next week!

First, a quick plug, I'd really appreciate it if anyone could take the time to vote for my look in the Bbloggers Unite Red Carpet Makeup Challenge! You can vote HERE! by 'liking' the photo of my entry (the last one), or any other if you think it's better!

Anyway, on to the haul :)

Peacock Metal Trim Sandals - Dorothy Perkins (here) were £19 but bought for £12 in store

These lovelies were on offer in my local store, but not on-line which I find odd :/ anyway, these are the perfect colour for summer and are comfy to walk in all day! Good buy, I think :)

Flower Multi Coloured Vest Top - H&M (can't find on-line) - £7.99

This is lovely, the material is so soft and airy I think it'll be great for during the day and on a night out in summer :) It can also be dressed up or down which I love!

Purple Foil Lace Vest - Dorothy Perkins (here) - was £18 now £10 in the sale!

Once again, this is lovely for summer nights out! It's a little see through so I just put a black cami underneath but with shorts or a bodycon skirt this would look lush :)

Shikha Crochet Coral Dress - Republic (here) - £22

I'm in love with this dress. I love the bright colour, the floatyness and just everything about it! It's going to be perfect on holiday next week and maybe here in Britain too if summer ever arrives!

Blue High Waisted Shorts - Dorothy Perkins (here) - £23

So glad I picked these up! They're going to be amazing this summer and can be dressed up or down. They're also not too short, so I'm not showing my bum cheeks when I wear them!

Feather Earrings - River Island (not on-line) - £4

Love these :) they're so colourful and will be great to add colour to a dull outfit over summer! At only £4 I thought they were reasonably priced too :)

Foundation Brush - Ecotools - £7.99 (Found on-line or at Boots)

I've been needing a foundation brush for a while and this one appealed to me due to it's eco-friendliness! The brush itself is soft, and although I've only used it once, I liked the way my foundation was applied with it.

MUA Heaven and Earth Eyeshadow Palette - Superdrug (here) - £4

Top row, same order as above picture

Bottom row, same order as first picture

I finally caved into buying this. Even though I have a my Coastal Scents 88 Warm palette, I thought this one would be great for travelling and at £4, I couldn't go wrong. Most the colours are fairly pigmented when swatched and although I haven't used them on my eyes yet, the shadows seem soft and easily blend-able.

L'oreal Rouge Caresse Lipsticks in Dating Coral and Tempting Lilac - Boots (here) or Superdrug - £7.99

L-R; Dating Coral, Tempting Lilac

Top to Bottom; Tempting Lilac, Dating Coral

These are so lovely and creamy and pigmented, I'm surprised that there hasn't been more hype about them! They're as creamy as the Revlon Lip Butters (see my review here!) but stay on the lips a lot longer. Tempting Lilac is a beautiful nude pink with lilac undertones, perfect for everyday wear! Dating coral is a hot orange pink, not super bright, but enough for those who don't want to wear the full on orange lip trend :)

Thanks for reading!

DISCLAIMER: All items were purchased with my own money!

ASOS & Dorothy Perkins Wishlist

As I need to go holiday shopping, I thought I would have a browse of what's around on the internet first :) Here are the 5 items I found that really tickled my fancy - though if I bought all of these I think my purse would die :(

Just a little note that I know I'm not the most fashionable person, I have my own style, so don't diss if you don't like what I like, respect individuality :)

TFNC Chiffon Dress in Mint - ASOS - £35

How perfect would this be on a summer evening? It's so colourful and bright but looks all floaty and comfy too :)

Buy here!





ASOS Metal Bar Detail Envelope Clutch - ASOS - £18


I've been needing a black clutch for a while and I wanted one that would go with any outfit I wanted to wear out and it looks like this one would do just that!

Buy it here!

Mint Butterfly Print Maxi Dress - Dorothy Perkins - £45


When I first saw this dress on the Dorothy Perkins website I knew I wanted it and I still do, but why does it have to be so expensive? :(

Buy it here or in store!

Blue High Waisted Shorts - Dorothy Perkins - £23


I think high waisted jeans are perfect for summer as they can be dressed up or down! Blue is a nice and easy colour to match outfits too as well so I think these would be a decent investment.

Buy here or in store!

Metallic Metal Trim Sandals - Dorothy Perkins - £19


My sandals from last summer have had it, so I thought these would be a nice replacement as they would go with anything and can be worn night or day :)

Buy them here or in store!

Bargain: 6 Pairs of Earrings for £2!

So I went for lunch today with one of my friends (being more social is one of my goals this month! See my post here) and afterwards, we had a wander round the shops. Get to Dorothy Perkins and see the "50% Sale!" signs and we practically ran inside - cos we're cool :)

I was tempted by some of the clothes, but not enough to actually buy anything (I'm so skanky with money!) but I did end up picking up this set of 6 pairs of earrings for £2 which were meant to be £7.50! Bargain? I think so :)

5 of the 6 pairs

The last pair is the cross earrings in my second hole :) The hoop earrings where a gift from my boyfriend for my birthday!

I'll be honest, I was most attracted to the dangly feathery ones, they're so pretty! But some of the others are lovely too, I like the crosses I put in when I got home, the feather studs and the simple gemmed studs but the other two pairs may not get much wear :/ but for £2 how can you go wrong?!

If you have a Dorothy Perkins near you definitely pop in, you could grab some clothing or jewellery bargains yourself!
