This is basically my christmas wishlist that i would definitely buy for myself if i didn't have to spend money on everyone else :( I have saturday to find the rest of the christmas presents that i need to buy for people but i think ive got most of it done it just all needs wrapping! I don't really feel christmassy this year compared to the last few years, i don't think it has properly sunk in yet that christmas is in 5 days because im at work all the time whereas for the last 3 years i was bumming around at uni having all the time in the world to do what i wanted! Work is NO FUN AT ALL. If i happen to stumble upon the velvet dress in urban outfitters on saturday though im not sure ill be able to walk out without it, it's so so Winter kate but half the price!

h&m collar - £3.99

Just a mini haul of what i've been buying recently, i didn't buy all of this in one go it's just what i've accumulated over the last few weeks, obviously a lot of it is from h&m because i work there and it's too tempting to buy things when im there eyeing it up all the time. I've been wearing this collar with nearly every outfit because i just think it makes everything look so smart and clean? If that make's sense. 

I've been really excited about autumn recently because it's my favourite time of year, i love October because Halloween is soo exciting, i really want something good to do this year for it, i also bought a little pumpkin spice candle which smells amazing but when it's lit it actually doesn't fill the room like the yankee candles do. I really wish we had a bath and body works over here as well because everybody raves so much about the slatkin & co candles. AND something else which really annoyed me, i went to house of fraser last week to get a 'be thankful' yankee candle because that's the only place that did that scent, and it's been discontinued! :( That was my absolute favourite smell, it literally smelt like autumn in a jar.

Anyway, that was just a quick post to show you some of the items i've been dying to wear recently but it's been too hot! Off to work now :(

Glitter and lace

Dress - h&m

Bag - asos

Necklace - forever 21

shoes - ebay

I bought these shoes from ebay a while ago, i've worn them once, they are 6.5 inch heels and i've only got size 5 feet so they're really hard to walk in for too long but i love them. You can get them here. Dress is really old from h&m but i think these shoes need to be dressed down so you can only really wear them with black, or white or grey, hmm i need to buy a grey t shirt dress. I am loving the weather, i love the sun i think it makes everyone happier, i can't stand the winter, rain, cold, grey sky it's too depressing, I might be going to Stratford (shakespeare stratford not london) on sunday or monday with my good pal Fay and whoever else we can rope into coming, if the weathers still nice! I really want to move somewhere like LA and be in permanent sun, or benidorm just because i LOVE the programme which is back on tonight :D.

dipped hems

 

Jacket - h&m

clutch - asos

skirt - primark

necklace - forever 21

lipstick - 17

I was early for uni today so i went into primark to waste some time, i havent been to primark for ages and i refuse to go into the birmingham one so i thought i'd go into wolverhampton as it had just opened so it was nice and clean. There was nothing particularly nice in there to be fair mostly just the same old jumpers and cardigans but i came across the dipped hem skirts (above) i loveeeee them! £8, i was so excited when i saw them because i love the ones in river island but there about £25 for the same kind of material, so i bought the black and grey, if they come out in any other colours ill probably get those aswell, they should make some pastel ones deffinitly!

  I'm going for a belated valentine's date with my boyfriend wednesday night so i'll probably wear one of these, don't know which one though! Also i'm loving the purple lipstick i cannot get enough of it, i'm not brave enough to wear it in the day though, and no one seems to love it as much as i do, i think the only person who's said it's nice is my dad! (shame)

There were also some lovely bright coloured blazers in primark for £15 i was tempted to buy the blue one but they didn't have matching shorts, so i decided not to get it as i'm supposed to be curbing my spending since i'm finishing uni in April/May, so i need to get used to not having loans and overdrafts and only spend my wages! HARD.

What i'm wearing...

Had to look after my little brother today so i took him to pizza hut, i was wearing an asos crotchet dress, h&m leather jacket, topshop and forever 21 necklaces. I wen't into h&m because the escalators weren't working to go downstairs, i hate the bullring h&m it's tooo busy! but it was actually ok today and i found this dress (bottom picture) i love it, it's £24.99 which is a good price anyway but i'm staff so i got my discount aswell :)

Band of gypsies

band of gypsies @ ASOS £14 in the sale

ASOS £25

River island £8!! in the sale from £60

same jacket - back view

Primark £12

ASOS £15

ASOS £15

River island £30

Bought these a couple of weeks ago, i love the band of gypsies kimono because its pink, paisley and has fringing, can't wait to wear it when it get's warmer, the cream crotchet tunic is so good for £25, can be worn with tights, leggings or shorts, i bought it in a bigger size though so it's long enough for a dress! The river island kimono i found in the Bullring, i bought it because it was £8, it would have been rude not to! I NEVER go into the Bullring river island either because it's awful, it's too busy and there's too many scary women in there. The cardigan is a bargain, £12, i love the colour it's really spring/summery and i always wear black/white/grey so it just makes a plain outfit colourful, i got it from the Wolverhampton Primark, i refuse to go to the Birmingham one it's always a mess, the Wolverhampton and Coventry ones are much much nicer. All three clutches are from ASOS, i LOVE them, especially the mint green, can't wait to take them on holiday, i love the way they look with a plain black dress.
