New Look sale haul

 So my student loan comes through and I tell myself I won't spend any money... and then I accidentally fell into the New Look sale - oops!
 I really should be banned from buying jewellery because I never wear it. It gets shoved in a drawer and then ends up on ebay one day because the only jewellery I ever wear is my ring off my mom and dad and my bracelets off my boyfriend. This silver and gold spike bracelet was reduced to £1 though so I couldn't resist!
I also picked up this necklace because I've been after a chunky OTT necklace for ages to wear with my plain white tops and dresses on nights out. This actually has one of the spikes missing at the bottom but considering it was only £1 I figured it didn't really matter and no one would notice!
 I've wanted this swing cami for ages so when I saw it reduced to £3 I grabbed it! It's slightly cropped so not really ideal for winter but I think it could work layered up and the colour is very autumn/winter. I love this! Apologies for the fact it's really creased!
 Next I picked up this stag print vest purely because I'm excited for Christmas already and it's basically got reindeer on!!!! Again, it's quite summery and I wasn't a massive fan of the sleeves/neck line but I thought it would look cute and wintery under a chunky, fluffly cardigan! This was reduced to £4.
 This cami is quite similar to the first one but is made of a darker blue chiffony material. I expected it to be quite see through but it's actually not at all, I really like the colour of these camis! This was £5, so a bit more than the others but still quite a bargain!
 Finally, I picked up this aztec print crop top. I own quite a few crop tops already so probably didn't need another one but I like to wear these on nights out with a black skirt. The way I think is that I would wear this top with a skirt I already have so the total cost of the outfit would be £3, whereas if I got a brand new dress it would cost a lot more and therefore I did need another crop top, right?

In total for 4 tops, a necklace and a bracelet I spent £17. Without the necklace which doesn't have the original price tag on, originally it would have all cost £39 so I'd say that was a pretty good saving!!
What did you guys pick up in the New Look sale?

ASOS sale haul

Oh dear. ASOS sale + 10% student discount + free delivery  = too much temptation!!!
 I've been wanting a new purse with more card slots in because my current one is quite small and whilst I really like it, it only has 2 spaces when ideally I need 4 or 5 ideally so when I spotted this River Island purse for £6 (from £10) in the sale I thought I wouldn't get a much better deal! I quite like the simple design BUT
 the inside is a horrible leather look shiny red mess! On the asos website it shows one picture of the inside of the purse and it's black which is really frustrating and it also feels quite flimsy and the popper on the front is quite difficult to do up which would be a pain in a rush so I'll probably send this back even though part of me loves it! :(

Recently, I've been going through an oversized/boyfriend tshirt with skinny jeans or jeggings phase and asos sells the best oversized tshirts!! The tshirt on the left is by Vera Moda and was £8.50 from £12. I'm a bit obsessed with stripes and I've been searching for the perfect staple blue and white stripe top and I think I've found it!! It's got roll up sleeves and a pocket on the front (which I'm not too keen on actually). 
 The second top is a peach washed tie die effect top that I didn't actually get in the sale but it's now reduced so thought I'd include it. It's now £10.50 from £18 and I've worn this a lot!! Unfortunately the rolled sleeves have become a bit unrolled in the wash so I need to sort that somehow but I love it! 
The third top I've been after for months so as you can imagine I was a happy bunny when I saw it in the sale! It was £8 from £12 and again like the other two it's quite loose and oversized. It's almost box shaped which made it quite difficult to tuck one side into my jeans but still, this is probably my favourite item at the moment!

Ebay finds!


I got both of these on Ebay. The one on the left is from topshop and was about £5 and the mon cheri top is from River Island orginally and was part of the autumn/winter range which was reduced in the January sales. I was so desperate for it but by the time I realised it was in the sale my size had sold out and they didn't have it in my local shop. Luckily, my lovely boyfriend saw it on ebay and paid £20 (!!) for it. I love wearing both of these with my jeggings and high tops. They're my two favourite tops at the moment.


The dress on the left is a dark green jersey skater dress from New Look which again, I got off ebay for about £5. I love dresses but never have anywhere to wear them but this ones quite casual so I convinced myself I needed it because I'd wear it all the time which I doubt I actually will! The chain print skater dress is from Miss Guided originally but I got it from a local woman closing down her shop for £5. It's not really my kind of dress and the chain print isn't seen very often any more but for a fiver I couldn't help myself!


This cardigan was off ebay, originally from New Look and was also about £5. I love it so much. It reminds me of spring/summer and i can't wait to wear it. I love the multi coloured flecked detail and even the buttons are cute!!!
