My Most Recent Purchases

I seem to have been shopping a lot more than usual recently. I went to Birmingham with my mum and sister last weekend and was so excited to visit Forever 21 as we don't have one in Leicester and I just loved the shop when I visited it in the USA. I also bought some bits in Primark. I've been ordering a few things from Very.co.uk recently, which is great as they deliver so quickly. I seem to have bought a lot of shoes without realising it too!

I could have bought absolutely everything in Forever 21, but there was so much choice, I felt a little overwhelmed, so only came away with a few bits. I firstly got this light denim shirt as I thought it would look good over most outfits and it really reminds me of the shirt that Caggie wears in the first series of Made In Chelsea, which I always liked.

(very creased) shirt: £16.75, Forever 21.
I got a few things from the accessories section...

Turquoise and Silver necklace: £2.99, Forever 21   

Umberella Socks:  £1.50, Forever 21

Black and Antique Gold Skinny Belt: £4.75, Forever 21.

 
I love the gold embellished collar on this sheer black blouse. I'm thinking of wearing it either tucked into skinny jeans or a plain black high waisted skirt or wearing it with a black vest top underneath and a pair of black leggings.
Sheer Black Blouse With Gold Collar Embellishment:  £10.00, Primark 
 I loved these shoes so much that I had to buy two different types. I've been seeing this slipper style of shoe everywhere and I think they are a really nice change from basic ballerina flats. The black ones with gold studs remind me of the Jimmy Choo Wheel Slippers that I have been lusting after, but are less than a tenth of the price!

Leopard Print Flats: £6.00, Primark 
Studded Flats:  £12.00, Primark
I've wanted one of these ear cuffs for ages, so I got this one in Primark. I think I like it, but I'm not too sure how I'm going to wear it or what with yet.

Gold Ear Cuff:  £2.50, Primark

I fell in love with this spiked necklace at first sight. I feel like it would dress up any plain outfit and add a bit of edge to all black. I love spikes and studs, I feel like they add a little bit of rock.

Gunmetal Spike Necklace:  £5.00, Primark

You'll shout at me for saying this, but I'm so excited for winter. I'd rather be snuggled up in knitwear and wooly socks than bikinis and shorts, which is why I've been buying so many socks recently- in anticipation for winter.

Grey, Black and White Socks:  £2.50, Primark

I've recently discovered very.co.uk. I had never been on there to look for anything before and was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across the site whilst looking for something to wear for a night out. The tartan skirt was something a bit different for me. I usually wear a shorter dress on nights out, but I had a picture in my head of how I wanted my outfit to look and this skirt fitted in perfectly.

Tartan Pencil Skirt:  £25, Very
Nothing really needs to be said about these beauties! Gold T Bar Platforms: £39.99, Very

Very also sell make up including OPI and Nails Inc nail varnishes. I got this Nicole by OPI nail colour from the Kardashian Kolor collection (I am secretly so obsessed with the Kardashians!) it is a beautiful dark teal colour- I think it's fabulous.
Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors in Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam:  £9.00, Very

Eyelure Naturalites Double Lashes:  £5.00, Very

Last but not least, I got these amazing silver velvet pumps from Superga. I decided to get these because although I love Converse and Vans, and won't stop wearing them, I feel like a lot of people also wear them now and I wouldn't mind finding something different. I thought these were just so pretty and different, whilst not being too trainer-ey as I'm not a huge fan of trainers. I will definitely be getting some more Superga pumps as they are so comfy but still stylish (in my opinion!). If they're good enough for Alexa Chung, They're good enough for me!


Silver Velvet Pumps:  £55, Superga

Phew! that is a lot of shopping I've been doing! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the things I've bought and What you would put them with.

  2. Great finds!! I love the jewelry you got from Primark. I swear everyone has so much better luck in there than I do, maybe we just have different stuff in Ireland. My favorite thing you got are those shoes! I'd love to see how you style them xx

  3. Ooh, I love the socks and tartan skirt. And the shirt from F21, so many ways to style that. Even on the hanger it's rocking the oversized, slouchy look! Xx
