Recent Buys!

As it was my birthday recently, I found a great excuse to do some shopping in the previous week. I did return quite a few things that just weren't right, but these were my 5 favourites that I kept and love!

Skater Dress from New Look (Sale)
Maxi Skirt from Ark

If you want to see what the skater dress looks like on me, you can check out the pictures from my 21st birthday here! I like it, though try as I might my bra was extremely visible so if you're conscious of that you may need to find an invisible bra!

I adore my Ark maxi skirt, it's half opaque half sheer and just a gorgeous cranberry colour. These pictures are terrible, I will try and do an OOTD post featuring it soon!

Dolly shoes, both from Primark
Rose gold necklace from H&M

I know it's winter but I still need dolly shoes for my nights out - I am a terrible excuse for a girl and just cannot handle heels! I just want some black studded pumps now and I'm set.

Now this necklace was my most exciting purchase by far. I've seen Leanne from Thunder & Threads show it off in so many posts and I couldn't believe my luck when I found one left in H&M - I've been wearing it all the time!

I also got some make-up type stuff this week, a couple of cult favourites that I've been wanting for ages!

Umberto Giannini Tousled Salt Spray
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 003 Peach Glow
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light 2
(Can't believe the writing is rubbing off already!)

So these were my birthday splurges and now I need to save, wah.

Weekly wants!

No girl ever let a lack of money stop her from mental shopping, so I thought that every Friday I would do a 'weekly wants' post where I show all the things that I'm lusting after and wishing I had the money to buy.

Khaki studded jumper - Topshop £42.00

I spotted this while shopping on Sunday and now I'm wishing for Autumn to come now so I can justify buying this jumper. I love the khaki colour, it's just a shame it's so expensive as Topshop always is - I'll be looking out for a similar more affordable version soon!

Studded ankle boots - Office £80.00

I found these on Sunday too - just another example of my obsession with studs! They are a definite dupe of the Chloe boots and I may just have these on my birthday list!

Sleeveless checked shirt - Missguided £22.99

Checked shirts never really seem to go out of style, and I have quite a few, but for some reason I just really like this sleeveless shirt from Missguided, it's just something a little different.

Benefit Porefessional - Boots £23.50

This has been one of the most talked about beauty products on blogs and youtube and I only just recently started to believe the hype. I got a free sample size in Glamour, thanks to my Mum picking it up for me and I will definitely be purchasing the full size version with the help of my Boots points ;)

Leather look skater skirt - Ark £22.99

Now this is a skirt that I have been lusting over for ages, but it's something I don't want to buy before I try on. When I'm next in Sheffield near the Ark store I might not be able to resist...

Weekly shopping total - £191.48

Hmm... some how I don't think I can budget all this in! If I had to pick one thing, it would be the Ark skater skirt because I've wanted it for so long (and because they have a 15% discount on all Hearts & Bows clothing til next month!!)
