Newness



New purchases.

I received this gorgeous jumper for my 19 birthday. It's originally from Topshop and I love it so much. The colour is amazing and I love the detail of it. It makes me want to go out and buy lots of gorgeous collar necklaces to wear with jumpers!

The belt was from my boyfriend, also for my birthday! Very clever of him to choose it! I think he knows to buy anything with a cross on it for me. It's so cute for nights out to wear with high waisted skirts. It's from Urban Outfitters and I think it's still available so I really recommend checking it out!

The shoes I bought myself from the student lock in event in my University area. They were only £25, and I got them for £20 as there was 20% off! I plan to wear these on nights out at uni when I'm dressing up a bit more. I don't know about anyone else, but people wear flat shoes a lot more than I expected them to do so I get quite excited at the prospect of getting all dressed up for a night out!

I bought these clutches a few weeks ago but I think they are still available in some Primarks. They were only £6 each and look very similar to Topshop and Zara clutches which are both over £20 I think. I like the wrist strap as you don't have to worry about dropping it on a night out, however they don't have an internal pocket or zipped compartment so if I want separate things I need little purses and makeup bags to put them in. That being said, they are so pretty and useful, I can't recommend them enough!

Finally, I bought a Vogue magazine. My marketing lecturer at university (I study Management and Marketing of Fashion if anyone is interested) actually told us it counted as reading round the subject! As if any of us needed an excuse to buy it.. This months issue is only £2 so an absolute bargain!

I'm off to a marketing workshop now. I'm hoping to write some outfit posts soon, but it's pretty difficult as I don't have anyone to take my photos here at University. I'm going to try and find someone though, so I'll get it sorted as soon as I can! 

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!
