Yes, it's October now, what i class as 'official autumn'- maybe cause it is ha! Yesterday i went to Chester, i really love it there and i go pretty often (because my local town is awful so i never shop there.) I hadn't been in a few months though, purely because i've had my holidays and just lots of reasons that have stopped me from going! I'll be making my regular monthly trips again starting now though :)! Anyway, i bought a few bits and bobs, thought i'd share them on here .. also showing the boots which i ordered off ZARA the other week now (and my ASOS hat, the h&m order isn't really worth showing, it was just a ring and a basic cardigan!)
So yeah, i was gonna buy the MAC face&body foundation yesterday, but they didn't stock it in the department store, was gutted, so did a risky thing of ordering offline even though i don't know what shade i am .. oops, we'll just have to see how that turns out.
What did i come back with anyway?
- ZARA lounge trousers (actually got these for the gym, but they look too nice for working out in, and also look wicked with my boots!)
- ZARA leggings, well actually 'jeggings' but i hate that word, and actually i'd rather just say pull on jeans, cause they aren't even legging material like they were when they first came out! (btw i got these in blue, i never ever buy jeans in any colour other than black haha!)
- Topshop brown/camel-kinda coloured t-shirt, just basic but the i only have vests in camel/brown and it's getting colder now, so needed something with a higher neck.
- River Island shorts, love these, saw them on the website and have been lusting after them ever since.
I really want a leopard print coat, but nothing too in ya face leopard print, i saw a nice one in new look actually, not too bad for £50 either!
oh forgot to say, got two new rings from primark, one i bought the other week, but dropped and the stone came out and it was like my current fave ring, so i just re-purchased aha!
below are my boots and hat!
(sorry i don't photograph well!)
Hope everyone's had a nice weekend and week for that matter; Sarah x
It's a Saturday and i'm excited to watch the X-Factor later. I really haven't done anything today, apart from return some pyjamas i brought last week and re-purchased them with some new ones and then paid a visit to my local library ( I do this most weekends!). Anyway, I thought i'd do an outfit post today. It's a really basic look, but i guess it works well. I always feel comfy in my black skinny jeans, they have to be my most worn item in my wardrobe!
The vest is just a basic Topshop vest, which i purchased Wednesday with my trousers! The belt was also brought then too, bit of Primark for ya! and then the jeans are my usual ones ..
I've recently arrived back home from a week in the capital and as always, I had a lot of fun!
There is always so much to see and do down there, with so much going on, you never find yourself bored. I honestly did not know where my time went, the hours flew by (i guess this means i will have to go again shortly!).
Obviously I did the essential tourist sights and whatnot but I also found myself shopping everyday; well, it would have been rude of me not too!
I tend to buy a lot more than i did this year but I am very pleased with my purchases, so I can't really complain.
I guess I went the craziest in H&M. I don't normally shop there for a few reasons- the main one being where I live, we don't have one! Also because I find the quality terrible and most things look very cheap. However at the moment, I can honestly say it is all beautiful and such bargain prices! Also the layout of most H&M stores make me feel like I am searching through a jumble sale, but the one on Oxford Street (nearest Selfridges) was beautifully layed out, as was the one in Knightsbridge.
Topshop really failed me, there was nothing whatsoever that screamed my name, infact, the only thing I did end up buying from there was a cardigan (which i love!)
ZARA is one of my all time favourite stores (we also don't have one near me locally!) so I got a few nice pieces from their too.
My favourite item I purchased was of course my Chloe handbag (the leather smells amazing) I ended up not buying the Paraty because they didn't have it in the beige colour that I wanted it in, so I ended up buying the Margareth which is new for A/W and I have to say, I prefer it to the Paraty now, it has more detail on it, making it look a bit more special.
Again, I have rambled on for way too long, so I shall leave it there :).
