Pay Day Mad - Shopping Haul

So as usual pay day has come and I have gone a little bit shopping mad and spent all my money. OOPS :/

I was trying to make myself feel better as it's Glastonbury tomorrow and I am not going for the first time in years and it's making me cry a little bit inside.

It also gives me an excuse to show you all my purchases!

I don't know if I've mentioned but I AM GOING ON HOLIDAY IN 3 WEEKS! It coincides very nicely with Sale season which means I can buy even more things!

Dorothy Perkins

As usual DP manages to drain my bank account...

 Tropical Bird Dress - £12 in the sale - I thought this would be quite nice to throw on over a bikini

 

Port Cami Maxi Dress - £10 in the sale - I love the colour of this dress and you can never have enough maxi dresses

 

Tropical Printed Skirt - £10 in the sale - Nothing screams HOLIDAY like a tropical print

 

 

Rose Palazzo Trousers - £20 in the sale - These are the most beautiful trousers in the whole entire world. I'm doing to wear them with a light blue cami top.

 

Hawaian Joggers - £24 - Are these a bit loud? I couldn't decide if they were fantastic or a bit much!

 

 

George - Asda

 

I have never shopped in George before but when I was reading the Metro this morning they were advertising a lovely fringed white lace kimono which is just what I've been after. Unfortunately everyone else seemed to have the same idea as by the time I went to buy it they had sold out of my size HOWEVER I found some other gorgeous things.

 

Floral Full Midi Skirt - £14 - I love floral and I love midi length so this is perfect!

Swimsuit - £6 - Perhaps not the most exciting but you can't beat a plain black swimsuit sometimes



 



Moda Floral Maxi Skirt - £14 - Another floral skirt, I sense a theme.... 

 

 

Swimsuit - £12 - This is a lot of fun and very colourful. George had quite a few nice swimwear bits in 

 

New Look

 

With over 100 kimonos available at the moment New Look is where you want to be for all your kimono needs. I finally found a white fringed one here after the disappointment of George.

 

Cream Lace Tassal Kimono - £16.99 - I just love kimonos, they are perfect for throwing over a swimsuit at the pool

White Gladiator Sandals - £17.99 - A summer essential!

 

That's it for now but I need to have a quick look in Primark at the weekend to get some 'essential' bits ie. cheap cami tops.

 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing what I bought, and try not to judge me too harshly for spending all this money - I am in a whole heap of sadness due to my absense from Glasto 2014. I know what will cheer me up......I still haven't been to ASOS, H&M or Zara!

January Favourites

I keep meaning to do this post and then so much keeps cropping up. I have had such a busy month – I had an essay to get in and everything got a bit mad at work. Our bedroom ceiling also collapsed in earlier this month so I have been trying to get that sorted, as well as contributing to Miss Mint which I am having to work into my timetable.

So sitting down and writing a favourites post kept being put off! But it is the last day of January so when is a better time to do this :)

FOOD AND DRINK

I have been loving a lot of food and drink this month, which isn’t good because I am meant to have joined the masses in the ‘January Diet’ and instead I can’t get out of Christmas eating mode.

I have become addicted to this drink, it is coming up a close third to Coke and Cream Soda. If you haven’t tried it you really should. I love bubbles but they also do a non bubbly version if they dont make you happy.

I have also developed a slight love affair with Sweet and Salty popcorn. These little nuggets of goodness make me wiggle my toes with glee. Popcorn goes far too quickly in my opinion.

MAKE-UP

FINALLY after months of waiting I have managed to get my sticky little fingers on a Naked 2 Palette, but now I am faced with a dilemma. It’s so pretty I don’t actually want to use it.

MUSIC

I have discovered a new favourite band and they go by the name of Clean Bandit. I love their mix of classic, electro with a dash of pop thrown in. There new song just hit number one in the charts but I am loving Mozart's House and have been listening on repeat.

Mozart's House - Clean Bandit

Rather be - Clean Bandit

WEBSITES

No Surprises here - I have to champion Miss Mint. If you haven't gone and have a look please do, because it's pretty and full of fun things to read and well I write 2 columns, The London Monologues and Wanderlust,  so you have to go and look! 

FASHION

I have been fully embracing anything with long sleeves and to the knee when it comes to dresses because it is just too cold. I love this dress from Dorothy Perkins as it ticks both those boxes and is full  of gorgeous colours. There are loads of winter floral dresses available at the moment.

And those are my January Favourites! Hopefully next month won't be as crazy and I will be able to spend a little bit more time posting on here. I hope you have all had a good start to your 2014!

Well done Dorothy Perkins

You have hooked me in with your pretty dresses and made me part with my money.

Dorothy Perkins have got some lovely fit and flare dresses in at the moment which suit my shape best.

I already ordered this lovely Red ditzy floral dress. I don't have very many red dresses which I need to change because I think the colour quite suits me.

I also got this one last week, I've got a wedding coming up and I think this burgundy floral petal dress will do quite nicely.

 

And then because Dorothy Perkins tempted me with 30% off and free delivery for orders over £30 I just bought a couple more dresses. Oops.

This lovely Spot 2 in 1 dress in purple might also be quite nice for the wedding and also will be good for work. Fun fact: the colour purple makes people remember you. I love the little tiny dots on this.

And then this lovely little Blue floral dress because well it just looks so pretty!

 

Thank you Dorothy Perkins for making me spend all my money!
