Winter Wardrobe Haul

Good Afternoon! :)

Last week I went on a shopping trip for some new items for my Winter wardrobe. I was badly in need of a couple more warm jumpers, a smart coat and a scarf.

I managed to pick up everything I needed (and more) so I thought I would show you what I bought.

River Island Camel Oversized Coat - £80, New Look Reversible Tartan Scarf - £14.99

I went into town originally to buy the Blue coat featured in my wishlist post. However, when I tried it on in store I wasn't so keen. I also realised that a Blue coat wouldn't go with everything, so going for a more neutral colour might be a better choice.

I saw this coat in River Island and loved it! I wasn't sure too if it swamped me as it's an oversized coat and I'm quite petite but I've had lots of compliments on it so far!

The scarf from New Look really goes with the coat. I love that it's reversible. I didn't realise how big the scarf was until I got home - it's HUGE, but I know that once it gets really cold outside I'll be very grateful for it.

River Island Collar Bib - £15	River Island Navy Blue Large Satchel - £30
H&M L.O.G.G Jumper - £24.99	H&M Black Jumper - £12.99

I don't shop in River Island that much, but I bought quite a lot from there this time! The Navy satchel bag looks really smart with the coat, is very roomy and feels really good quality.

The Embellished Collar Bib is something I've been wanting for a while. I love wearing jumpers with a collar, and having this means I don't have to squeeze an actual blouse underneath - I find that can sometimes get uncomfortable. I love the jewelled collar on this one as it can turn a plain outfit into something a little more special.

The Burgundy jumper from H&M is from their L.O.G.G range (Label Of Graded Goods) I've bought a few items now with this label and even though they are a little more expensive than the regular clothes in store, they are a lot better quality. There's a big H&M where I live, and there is a whole section for this label. If you have a larger store near you, I really recommend checking out the L.O.G.G section.

The Black jumper is from the usual range in H&M. It's slightly cropped and loose fit so would look great with some high waisted trousers/jeans.

The last items I picked up were some tights in Primark. The 40 denier ones I've been wearing to work just aren't cutting it now it's getting chilly. The Super Cosy ones are a Winter must have and are only £3.50 a pair!

I'm pretty pleased with my purchases, they are all quite versatile so I can mix and match my outfits. I still need to pick up a hat and gloves and I'll be all set for the cold!

What are your Winter Wardrobe essentials?

Wednesday Wishlist

I can't believe I started my blog less than a year ago and pretty much abandoned it after only a couple of posts! Bad Blogger! Lets just say that I had quite a lot of personal things going on and wasn't feeling in the best of places for a while… Unfortunately this meant that my blog, that I'd been wanting to start for ages, just ended up being pushed aside.
However after catching up with my favourites blogs recently I now have that blogging itch back!

My first post after this incredibly long gap is something that I may put up each month. Its basically a few items that I am currently lusting after. They aren't necessarily only beauty items, more just an array of bits and bobs that have caught my eye on websites/in stores/on blogs.

Topshop Petite Fluffy Wool Blend Swing Coat	Essie Fall Collection - Fall in Line	Whistles Portland Backpack
Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot Gift Set	Topshop Petite Dogtooth Cigarette Trousers	Topshop Latch Trimmed Loafers
Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel	Maleficent DVD	MAC Lipstick - Patisserie

My favourite item on the list is the Topshop Coat. I am definitely going to be purchasing it, or something similar, come payday. I do already have a lovely comfortable Parka that I bought a couple of years ago in Zara, but I'm in need of a smarter coat for when I'm out on those chilly winter evenings.
I haven't actually seen this in store yet, only on the website, so I am hoping it is a gorgeous as the photo's! I especially love the blue tone. As a girl who usually sticks to mainly black, white or grey, I think this will inject some much needed colour into my winter wardrobe.

The Whistles backpack is something I have seen recently on Instagram. I personally wouldn't be able to afford to splash out on a bag of that price (£275) but I would really like to find something similar.

I am a MASSIVE Disney fan. One of my all time favourites being Sleeping Beauty (hence my blog name which I mixed with my own name). I loved Maleficent when I saw it at the cinema, and I cannot wait to pick up the DVD!

Saturday Shopping Haul

Hello there!

I thought I would start off my blog with a little haul post from today's shopping spree! I originally only wanted to pop into town quickly to pick up some earphones (of which I don't even buy!)

Instead I had a nice relaxing wander round and came home with a lot more then expected.

Firstly I went into Topshop. I am really loving Topshop at the moment, especially as the one near me does a good range of Petite sizes, and being only 5ft 1 and a half this is most important. 

I picked up 3 items here.

Checked Shirt - £30
This shirt is super soft and cosy. This isn't from the Petite range, but it is not too long,  I'm planning on wearing this with a long black vest top and thick black leggings.

Bird Necklace - £6.50
This necklace I loved as soon as I saw it. Its not too heavy and will look great with lots of outfits.

Cropped T-Shirt - £18I tried on this t-shirt with my high-waisted black jeans and it worked really well. The material is really soft and I think this will be worn alot through spring and summer!

I then went to Primark (I braved Primark on a Saturday afternoon! am i crazy?!) and picked up just a couple of items..

Pack of 9 Earrings - £2

Frilly Socks - £1.50, Bee Socks - £1.50 for 3
I always end up buying socks in primark, I don't even need them. The frilly ones are almost the same as the Topshop ones but have silver glittery bits running through them which you can't really see from the photo, and the Bee socks were so cute they just fell into my basket.

Lastly I went to Boots where there was one of those great 3 for 2 on all makeup offers! I had had my eye on a couple of things for a while so thought 'why the hell not?'

Loreal Superliner Gel Intenza in 01 Pure Black - £9.99

Essie - Left: Mint Candy Apple, Right: Vanity Fairest

Bleach London Silver Shampoo - £5.00

Soap and Glory - Top: It's about Prime Eyeshadow Underbase - £8.00. Bottom Left: Peach Party Blusher - £11:00. Bottom Right: One Heck of a Blot Mattifying Powder - £12.00

I will be doing reviews of the makeup and the nail Polishes soon, and also a review of the Purple Shampoo, comparing it with others that I have tried! As I have dyed blonde hair I really like to try and keep it looking bright and keep any brassy tones away.

Thanks for reading :)
