(Late) March Haul

I thought I would share with you what I have purchased over the last month. Enjoy!

1. American Apparel 

1. Colour Bock Stretch Bull Denim High Waist Cuff Shorts (link here) - £54.00

I have had my eye on these shorts since last Summer but didn't want to pay £54.00 for them, so it was a miracle when I found a pair on E - Bay! I was a little apprehensive about these shorts as I heard they are a little tight and that it is probably best to purchase a size up but I went with my normal size and if anything, they are too big. These are super soft and definitely worth the money. These shorts are definitely going to be a main staple in my wardrobe this SS14. 

2. Missguided

1. Lilih Sweatshirt in Pastels (link here) - £19.99

Before purchasing this jumper, I had longed for a pastel jumper, so you can imagine my delight when I saw this on the Missguided website. My funds were relatively low at the time, but luckily Missguided were offering free postage for a limited time. I adore this jumper. It is super soft and very comfortable, and I love the different pastel shades. I may wear this jumper with the American Apparel shorts. 

3. Topshop

1. HYDRATE Two Part Pool Sliders (link here) - £22.00

I had been wishing for a pair of black sandals for a very long time so I was ecstatic when I saw these on the Topshop website. At only £22.00, I thought that was pretty good for Topshop. These are really comfortable and the black and gold go really well together. Definitely going to be big in my wardrobe this Summer. 

2. Moto Gingham Print Joni Jeans (link here) - £38.00 

As many of you may know, I am adoring the Gingham trend this season, as well as the pastels. Joni jeans have made me turn my back on any other jeans as these are the perfect jeans for me. High waisted and a very flattering fit. I also receive many compliments on these jeans; well worth the money. 

3. MOTO Black Joni Jeans (link here) - £36.00

Another pair of Joni Jeans, I told you that I loved them! Two years ago, I had purchased a pair of black Leigh Jeans from Topshop and I had never been happy with the rise but I put up with it. Until I saw the Joni Jeans. Again, these are high waisted and flattering. The bottoms are a little long for me and are a Petite size, so I have to roll them up, but I would do this anyway. Reasonable price. 

4. (Similar) Glamorous Colour Pop Daisy Shift Dress (link here) - £26.00 

The Topshop dress was a sell out pretty quickly, however, I have found a similar dress from Glamorous. You will probably be able to purchase the Topshop Daisy print dress via E-bay. The Topshop dress has a lovely Gingham print with a daisy print throughout. I love this dress!

4. Boohoo

1. Orla Leather Look Metallic Runner Shorts (link here) - £15.00 

These Boohoo shorts are  little bit out of my comfort zone but I loved them when I first saw them and just had to purchase them. They are true to size, yet have a very flattering fit. They are metallic which is another trend I am loving. I love how they are just easy to slip on and very sports luxe, which again, is out of my comfort zone but I am loving it so far. These shorts are in the sale at the moment at only £15.00 but they are selling out fast!

2. Erika Dogtooth Woven Checked Pelmet Mini Skirt (link here) - £15.00

I am still loving the check trend, but I am venturing with different colours instead of wearing tartan pieces. This skirt is going to be perfect for the Summer and will look great with pastel pieces. I would recommend getting a size up as the skirt is quite big on me but still wearable. Reasonable price at £15.00. 

3. Megan Gingham Boxy Long Sleeve Shirt (link here) - £16.00 

I just had to purchase this shirt, as yes, it is Gingham. I was actually a little apprehensive about purchasing this as it is a boxy shape and box shape shirts that I have purchased in the past have been too small or too tight on me, but this shirt is the best one I have purchased so far. I think this shirt would look good with the checked skirt if I fancied a clash of the prints day haha! The shirt is long sleeved, but I personally think the shirt looks better with the sleeves rolled up, Great price at £16.00. 

4. Tianna Box Pleat Colour Pop Skater Skirt (link here) - £10.00

I had wanted a pink skater skirt for a while and it was just my luck that I found this beauty on Boohoo. Definitely recommend for this to be purchased as it goes with anything and is on trend. What a bargain it is at £10?! Boohoo never fails to impress. 

5. Primark

1. White Turtleneck Cropped Jumper with Short Sleeves - (Bought on E-bay)

(Similar) Somedays Lovin Roll Neck Jumper in Fluffy Knit (link here) - £31.00

Unfortunately, the top featured in the picture was purchased on E-bay and Primark do not have an online store, (why not?! :( ) However, I have found an alternative via the ASOS website which is a jumper from Somedays which is a little pricier at £31.00 but it is in the sale. I do not shop at Primark that often as I do not have a Primark store in my area, but I just had to purchase this turtleneck fluffy crop, as I'm sure most of you know that I love turtlenecks and fluffy jumpers. This top is also great for the Summer as it is cropped and short sleeved. There are also a variety of other colours to choose from. 

6. ASOS

1. T - Shirt with Deja Vu Print (link here) - £14.00

I do love a good slogan tee. They are just great for tucking into a pair of high waisted shorts or trousers for a relaxed look. This tee from ASOS was very sought after as it sold out within days and luckily, it came back in stock a few days ago, so purchase yours as soon as possible! I love this tee as Deja Vu used to be my favourite word when I was very small. (Please don't ask me why) Haha! It's also a bargain at only £14.00!

7. Lazy Oaf

1. Let It Roll T - Shirt (link here) - £40.00

Again, another slogan tee but this is a cropped version. You may have also seen this featured in an outfit post which can be found here. I saw this tee on another blogger about a month ago and knew I had to get my hands on it but I wasn't too sure on paying £40.00 on it, however, I thought I would search for it on E-bay and there it was! Luckily, I won it, (ovbiously). I love the tartan sleeves and the design. It is a perfect fit and looks great with high waisted bottoms. If you do not want to pay £40, I suggest looking on E-bay!. 

8. Persunmall

1. British Style Checked Jacket (link here) - £24.47

This bomber jacket is actually from Zara but as it is sold out I have managed to find a bomber jacket which is virtually the same if you wanted to purchase a tartan bomber. Persunmall basically sell clothes which may be at a high price in UK stores but Persunmall sell these clothes at a lower price. I haven't completely left the tartan world yet as I still love my bomber jacket as it is versatile and great for layering. If you wanted to purchase this, I would recommend getting a couple of sizes up. My jacket is a size large and my size is between 8-12 in jackets. 

9. E - bay

1. (Similar) New Look Belted Mom Shorts (link here) - £19.99

I have purchased a pair of Black Levi Shorts from E - bay, however, I have found a great alternative pair from New Look for you. They are Mom shorts which comes with a belt. I am not keen on shorts which expose the bum, so I always opt for mom style shorts. I think these black shorts would look great with the tees from Lazy Oaf and ASOS.

2. Light Blue Blazer (link here) - £3.99

I had been looking for a pastel blue blazer for a while and this blazer was only £3.99! I had to wait about 2-3 weeks for it to arrive as it is from Hong Kong but it was totally worth it. Such a great value for money and it looks great paired with other pastels. You can view my outfit post on it here 

That is all my purchases for March. I feel I didn't buy as much in March, even though it looks plenty haha. 

Until next time,

Buy My Stuff on Depop Please!

Depop username: sommer_guy (link here)

As I am a big fan of selling my items on E-bay week after week due to my forever overflowing wardrobe, I have been introduced to Depop. Depop is very similar to E-bay but the only difference being that your identity is shown and your item auctions don't have a expiry date unless the item is bought. But the best bit is that there is no insertion fees, yaaaay! Depop is definitely a faster way of uploading your items as I feel it can take a very long time to upload items on E-bay; with Depop it only takes two to three minutes. Literally. It is easy to set up a Depop account but Depop can only be used as an app as the whole point was for people to be able to have the convenience of purchasing or uploading from their pocket. The only downside I have with Depop is that you can only upload four images of your item whereas on E-bay 12 free images can be uploaded. Also, as there is no auction expiry time, your item may never sell and if you're desperate for funds this can be a bit of a pain, that's when E-bay comes in handy. Overall, I think I am going to use Depop on a regular basis and I definitely recommend it. My Depop username is listed above, it would be great if you could check my items out. Thank you! :)

Until next time,

It's finally time to get the kimono out!

1. (Similar) Pretty Little Thing Piper Leopard Print Kimono (link here) - £18.00

2. Primark Fluffy Cropped White Turtleneck Tee 

3. Topshop Baxter Black Skinny Jeans (link here) - £40.00 (I'm also selling these on E-bay, link here grab a bargain!)

4. E-bay Chunky Black Ankle Boots (link here) - £12.32

As the weather is going through a hormonal phase, I thought I would brave it and get the kimono out! These pictures were taken last week, therefore, it was pretty warm. I'm not a big fan of leopard print but I fell in love with this leopard print kimono as soon as I saw it. I purchased it from Daisy Street and it has a gorgeous silk like material feel to it. The kimono is a waterfall design and I think it's a lovely fit and goes with anything. Unfortunately, it is out of stock on Daisy Street but I found one similar on Pretty Little Thing (see the link above for the kimono.) 

I paired the kimono with a fluffy cropped white turtleneck tee from Primark which are very much sought after. These are available in many colours but I feel the white one can be paired with plenty of things. The top is quite cropped, I'm not a fan of cropped items so I will probably wear a vest underneath or high waisted bottoms. I wore my Topshop Baxter Skinny Jeans on the bottom. I have ummed and ahhed over these jeans for the past two years as they aren't really my type as I like high waisted jeans but then I discovered the Joni jeans, which are the best thing ever. I am selling the Baxter jeans on E - bay (check out the links above for link - get a good bargain) as I have just bought the Joni jeans in black. 

Lastly, I wore my new ankle boots purchased from E-bay for £12.32, bargain, right? They are from China and they arrived a little under four weeks, but it's worth it! I thought I would pair these boots with this outfit as it is a pretty sophisticated look. 

Until next time,

Feeling Peachy

Hello guys! I'm still in my pastel lovin' world and yes, todays' post is about another pastel outfit. As I keep saying, pastel pieces are starting to become a must for SS14. They are also summery colours and can really brighten up a wardrobe. I apologise for my whiteness/pasty complex, I only use fake tan for nights out and I am sure you can appreciate that we are awaiting the summer season and the sun. I must state that I did not go out in the outfit below, I only wore it for these photos to express other ideas in regards to pastel pieces.

Peach/Coral T - shirt - E - bay - Seller found here

ASOS Petite Exclusive Shorts With Mesh Insert £28 - Found here

River Island Black Block Heel Gladiator Sandals £40 - Found here

I really like this peach top as I feel it suits my complexion colour and it can be worn  with anything. It also has a summery vibe about it. I purchased this top from E - bay and from a seller who lists many pastel items and other gems frequently and at affordable prices. Their E - bay profile is listed here. I paired this top with a pair of light blue shorts from ASOS. These shorts are available with a matching t - shirt which I also own, so they can be worn as a matching set. Matching T - shirt found here (I will be doing a matching set blog post very soon!). These shorts have a mesh insert detail which I was unsure about at first but when they arrived I loved them, all I need now is some summer weather to be able to wear them. I think these shorts go well with the top and they are super flattering. I thought they were a reasonable price also at £28. I paired this outfit with my block sandals from River Island. I bagged these shoes in September 2013 in a sale and they quickly sold out, however, they are back in stock but I'm sure they will be gone soon due to high demand, so grab your pair quick :)! They are a great finish to a girlie yet affordable outfit. 

Until next time,

It's All About The Velvet

Velvet Burgundy Wine Oversized Shirt purchased from Wanderland £18 - website found here

Urban Outfitters BDG Velvet Leggings in Paisley - sold out but found here

Dr Martens Chelsea Boots £65 - found here

 One of my weakness trends of the year is velvet. I call it my weakness trend because I overbuy on the stuff. I just love the texture and feel of velvet - it just screams the 90's!
I am wearing an oversized burgundy wine coloured velvet shirt. I bought this shirt a a year and a half ago from Wanderland who have a boutique shop on ASOS Marketplace. This is the type of clothing I like to wear when I just want to throw an outfit on and feel comfortable yet stylish. If you love the 90's trend, you should definitely check out Wanderland on ASOS Marketplace as they have so many bargains and gorgeous pieces. The link for Wanderland on ASOS Marketplace is listed above.
I purchased the BDG Paisley Velvet Leggings in September 2013. I have received so many compliments on these leggings. The print is gorgeous and really distinctive. They are great quality and the velvet material still remains after many washes. Unfortunately, these leggings have now sold out online, however, you may be able to find similar pairs on E - bay or at other retail stores.
I have paired this outfit with my Dr Martens Chelsea Boots. I adore these shoes. These are my most comfortable shoes that I own. I purchased these via E - bay as they are quite pricey from the Dr Martens store; there are always a pair listed when I check on E - bay, so if you want a pair, it may be best to check on E - bay if you don't fancy paying Dr Martens prices.
Thanks for reading. On Monday I will be posting my Gingham wishlist.

Until then,
