Don't you just love it when your student loan appears in your bank? Well i do, because that only means one thing! Shopping!

So here is the items I've picked up this week!

 

Top- River Island £22

Okay so this top is waaay too expensive for what it is but I just fell in love with it and I had to have it! I wore it to my first day back at uni yesterday with the burgundy cami dress from my Primark Haul- September post, and plain black leggings. 

I've not got a photo of my next purchase (because they are in the wash right now!) but I got these black leggings from M&S. I don't usually buy things from M&S but i have to say, their new A/W collection is really good! These leggings were £15 which is more than i usually pay but I've had them on about 5 times and they still look as good as they did when i bought them! 

 

Leggings- Next (Outlet store) £11

I really like wearing pattern trousers and leggings and this must be one of the only patterns I didn't already have! I thought these were really nice, I'm looking forward to wearing them with a plain black cami and a coloured cardigan. The only problem I've found with them is that they sit on the hips, whereas I prefer my leggings pulled up Simon Cowell style! I still really like them though so I'm keeping them! 

 

Jumper- Primark £3 (BARGAIN!) 

I picked up this jumper thinking it was £8 (it was on a full price rail), but when I got to the till it scanned at £3 so I was delighted! I really like sparkly jumpers and as this one has silver lurex thread in it I had to have it. I'm secretly happy Autumn is here cause I can get all my sequin jumpers back out again!! 

Hoody- £14.98 Ebay (Here)

I've been wanting this hoody for a year now and I finally bought it! I just love the massive, leopard print hood! It's really cosy and looks great with leggings and ugg boots on those chilly afternoons! I can see me living in this when I'm stuck in the library in the winter! 

So that is all I've purchased so far! What is your favourite item? How would you wear these? 

Tie Rack A/W 2013!

If you didn't know before, I work for an awesome accessories company called tie rack. This post is all about my pick of the best items in this years autumn/winter collection! (there were far too many pretty things to choose from but I managed to narrow it down to four!)



Serape £34.99

If you don't know what a serape is, then listen up! These amazing items are basically a large shawl but they are honestly so cosy and will keep you warm all winter! The leopard print and fur combination is very on trend for this year! And this one even comes with little arm holes on the side to make this look like an oversized cardigan when wearing it! (another on trend item for this year). I plan to wear this lots and as it gets colder i'll start wearing a long sleeved t-shirt under it to keep me a bit warmer!



Serape £34.99

Because there are so many amazing patterns and colours to choose from in this year's range of serapes, i couldn't just pick one so I also had to get this cute tartan one! Tartan is another print that is going to be massive this winter so I'm really looking forward to wearing this! Keep an eye out for some future posts showing you how to look amazing wearing these!



Pashmina £17.99

I am a big fan of pashminas as they are such a versatile product (I must own one in every colour imaginable!) Tie rack pashminas are a great size for doing so many different things with them! I bought this one as it's a lovely burgundy colour so it will go with all the burgundy items I've been buying lately!



Scarf £19.99

And finally, I just love this scarf! Everything about it is perfect! I've not been able to get a tartan scarf for many years because I'm allergic to wool and I've only ever seen wool ones! But this one is made of acrylic so I know it's not going to irritate my skin. I had this scarf out on a test run to the shops last night and it kept me nice and cosy in the cold breeze! I don't think I will have this scarf off during winter this year! It looks amazing with so many different colours!

That is my top 4 favourite items from Tie Rack's Autumn Winter Collection so far! Look out for more posts about this. I'm sure there are plenty more amazing items waiting to come into stores!

What do you think about these products? How would you wear a serape? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Primark Haul September Part 2!

I  wasn't supposed to be shopping today but it was raining and I needed an umbrella so I just "nipped into Primark." Needless to say I was in there for over an hour...

So here is some of the bargains I found today! 

 

Both of these cute dresses were in the sale! The denim one was reduced from £14 to £5 and the spotty one reduced from £5 to £2! I've been looking for a denim dress for ages so I was delighted to find this! 

 

These 2 tops were both reduced to £1! As i have to wear black to work, I will get plenty wear out of them, and I can wear a chunky cardigan over them in winter! 

 

I'm forever buying new leggings, you can never have too many pairs! And these will be perfect for winter at the bargain price of £6. (p.s they are much thicker and less see-through than your standard primark leggings!) 

Just look how nice and fluffy the lining on these is!

 

 

And finally, I couldn't resist these cute cat slipper socks! I've got a really bad habit of buying cat socks just now! But these were only £3 and they look almost exactly like my cat so they had to be bought! Plus they will keep my feet cosy in the winter and as they are slipper socks they will stop me slipping on the wooden floors in my house! 

So that's all I bought today! So much for just getting an umbrella! (which I did get by the way! Leopard print dome umbrella for £4!) I'd love to hear what bargains you've found lately! Drop me a comment in the comments box! :)

 

Primark Haul- September!

I know everyone gets excited over a little Primark Haul so yesterday my lovely other half donated some money to my fashion fund so I could go and have a little spend-a-thon in Primark! 

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="650"] Boots- £25[/caption]

The first item to hit my basket was these lovely "riding boots." During Autumn/Winter, I live in comfy boots and since I don't like wearing my uggs in the rain, I'm always on the hunt for some nice leather effect boots. Riding style boots are very on trend at the moment! However the only thing I would say is that at £25, they are a little expensive for Primark! Hopefully they will be worth it though! 

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="650"] Both Dresses- £5[/caption]

I'm sure you are all aware, but Primark do a great range of £5 dresses and for Autumn/Winter they are making ones with longer sleeves! They didn't have many options in these yet but I'm sure as time goes on they will get more patterns and colours in! I loved the spotty burgundy colour dress! Burgundy is definitely going to be a major colour in my wardrobe this winter! And I can't wait to wear the black one with some chunky knitted tights as the weather gets colder! 

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="650"] Cami Dress- £3
3 Pack Socks- £1 (SALE)
Chunky Slouch Hat- £2[/caption]

And finally, I picked up these winter essentials! I own soo many colours of these Cami Dresses! This is the latest colour to hit the shelves and also fits with my colour scheme for winter! I love to wear these with printed leggings or jeans and a chunky jumper on top! The socks were reduced to just £1. I'm obsessed with buying socks just now so obviously I couldn't resist this bargain! And you can never have too many socks, especially in Scotland when your feet are cold 99% of the time!! It is still a wee bit warm to wear my hat just now but I would probably not be able to find it if i went back when it got colder so I just grabbed it now! It's a slightly slouchy hat with a big pom pom on the end! So cute! 

So that's all I picked up yesterday! What have you been buying in Primark recently? What items are you looking forward to wearing this Autumn/Winter!?

A new term, a new bag!

So uni goes back in less than 2 weeks time, and what better excuse to buy a new bag for carrying all my books about in! Having just invested in a macbook pro, it had to be big enough to fit this in, plus a notebook and a textbook. My friend owns a small handbag stall next to my work and she sells loads of these gorgeous tote bags! It's the perfect size for getting all my things in it and it even comes with a little pouch for inside the bag to keep keys/phone/perfume/purses etc from getting lost! And an even better bonus, it has a long clip on strap for turning it into an over the shoulder bag too! 

So obviously i couldn't resist this (not just because it's orange!)

If you live in Edinburgh, please go and visit Sands Fashion in the Gyle Shopping Centre. You won't be disappointed with your purchase! 

Orange Tote Bag £24.50- Sands Fashion @ Gyle Shopping Centre, Edinburgh 

 

 

Uh oh I went shopping again...

I had a day off today which could only result in one thing...a shopping spree.
I managed to pick up a few lovely bargains on my travels today.



Pink leopard dress- New Look £7
Brown leopard dress- Internacionale £6
Rings- New Look £1
Earrings- New Look £1
Shoes- Primark £2

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a big fan of leopard print. These 2 dresses caught my eye and in the sale I definitely couldn't resist. I really didn't need another pair of shoes either but again at £2 it was impossible to resist them!




I managed to pick up these six rings for only £1 in New Look. They've reduced lots of the jewellery in the Roam range, most of it to £2 or less!





These cute little crystal studs were also reduced to £1. I like simple studded earrings as they don't get caught in my hair!
