summery spending spree

I don't what it is but I cant help but spend at the moment, I think it's the sun that is making me wanna shop! When it's raining I always have to lug around a umbrella and my fur coat and it just gets in the way when I'm trying to look at things.

There's so many nice things in the shops at the moment and it's all summery clothes and I feel like I want to update my wardrobe with some slightly more summery dresses.

I found a quirky shop that sells vintage and fancy dress clothing and I havent yet found any vintage clothes in there that I like, but I did buy a gorgeous vintage inspired 50's dress in there the other day. The dress is cut from a 50's inspired pattern and recreated in modern fabric.

I love the shape of it, I think it's really flattering.



I also bought some shoes that I felt were essential for the summer and where they're wedges they are really comfy to walk in too. I think they will look really nice with a long maxi dress.


Wedges, £24.99, New Look

They have some really nice things in New Look at the moment and with the New Look magazine they are giving out 20% off vouchers at the moment, which is even better. I got this cute stripey crop in there, I had to get it because I love the lace and pearl collar, it's so cute. I've combined it with a darker navy on the bottom, which is flattering for my pear shape and I think it makes me appear more hourglass.


Top, £16.99, New Look

Also, I have my bikini sorted for summer. It's the perfect bikini, it's red and it's polka dot! Here's a picture of my friend modelling the bikini for my styling portfolio...wish I looked like this in it, but I would have to cut out all the chocolate, pizza's and pesto pasta if that were to happen!




and lastly something I have been lusting after but don't know if i can justify spending £28 on it, what do you think?

Just a little something...

Im always shopping, I can't help it. It's not like im buying expensive things all the time- I rummage the shops in order to find some nice things that are either in the sale or just a good price.

I bought a lovely new top in New Look the other day and just thought I would share it with you. I combined it with a black polka dot skirt from Miss Selfridge and some cute berry red pumps, that were £2 in the childrens section in New Look...



It was raining slightly over the weekend, which was an excuse to get out my gorgeous new brolli that has a bright red rose for a handle- I had to have it!



I also went into Top Shop to find the lovely red leather belt I had wanted, was in the sale (originally £30). It came up on the till as £14 but the shop assistent marked it down to £5 because she thought that was too expensive for the sale! With student discount £4.50! Very impressed Top Shop :)



Dress, £17.99, New Look
Belt, £5, Topshop
Shoes, Office

You can't really see the shoes in the previous photo, but they are my favourite flats that I bought in the sale in office. I thought the crocodile print and heart made them stand out, as opposed to plain black patent.




Have you bought anything nice in the sales lately?
