Collective Haul!

Hi! 

I'm sorry I've been a bit m.i.a. recently, but I've just been busy with general life. Mostly stressing about this coming Thursday. RESULTS DAY! 

Anyway last week I went visiting family in London which meant lots of shopping adventures were to come :) 

The first couple of purchases were before London as I needed some bits and pieces as the weather was gonna be hot (well it was supposed to be)

New Look

 It was sort of love at first sight with these shorts, they're perfect for a hot summers day :)

New Look

 I've been looking for a peace belt for ages. I had my eye on a skinny version of this from Topshop but never got round to buying it. I like the chunkier version better (+ it was cheaper :D)

Select

 I needed a new bikini.... I bought a new bikini.... 

New Look

 Again I'd had my eye on Topshop's Leigh jeans in a blue acid wash colour for ages, but when I tried these on they felt almost as soft and stretchy as the Leigh jeans and once again cheaper :) I seriously recommend these jeans :)

New Look

 This was a seriously random purchase! I'm still trying to incorporate it into an outfit so i'm sorta regretting purchasing it. I do love the floral print though as it isn't an 'in your face' print. Also the material is very silky and soft which I LOVE!

Next

 This is a re-purchase of my favourite black skinny jeans from Next. My old pair was basically on its last legs after wearing them at any chance I could... They are so comfy!!! 

I needed a new foundation so I thought I'd see what all the hype was about Bourjois's Healthy Mix foundation and I love it! It evens out my complexion amazingly! I can't believe I've not bought it sooner!

Now for the London purchases.... 

The first day we went out, we went to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo 

It's obvious I'm still a kid at heart and couldn't resist buying a tiger and a panda teddy... they are my favourite animals after all which is why I also bought a tiger statue/ornament...

CUTE!

EVEN CUTER!

 And then came the real shopping :D

Topshop

 I've wanted a pair of shorts like these for ages and when I was browsing the sales I found this lovely pair. I was like the seagulls in Finding Nemo.. 'MINE!'

Freedom, Topshop

 Such a great necklace! An amazing way to complete an outfit :)

Freedom, Topshop

 Impulse sale purchase, but they're just so pretty!

Freedom, Topshop

 I LOVE these bracelets! I like the way that they're all different shades of gold and different sizes.

Topshop

 I finally bought a pair of Leigh jeans and I am so happy. They are so comfortable its unreal! If they wasn't so expensive I'd buy one in every colour.. maybe even two!

Office

 Once again an impulse buy. It was love at first sight with these shoes! They have literally been on my feet everyday, I never want to take them off :)

David & Goliath 

Do you get it? As soon as I entered the shop and saw this I knew I had to buy it. It is sort of made for me, with me being a vegetarian and all. This top is super soft and super comfy! I want to start collecting David & Goliath tops now, they are so funny and adorable :D

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Rebelle

I saved this till last as this is my first ever Chanel lipstick, no word of a lie I wanted to cry when I bought this. I feel that in a girls life, moments like the purchase of their first designer lipstick will stay with them for the rest of they're fashion/beauty life. (I didn't want to say whole life as obviously there are more important things than a lipstick - didn't want to come across in the wrong way :/ ) But anyway.. best shopping day ever!

Once again sorry for the lack of posts I promise to start posting more regularly. Now I'm off to go stare at my Chanel lipstick for the billionth time :)
