Shopping Haul

Admit it, we all love a good shopping haul every once in a while, especially when we can pick up some cheap bargains. Carry on reading to see what I bought in my latest shopping trip.

Mint Green Ribbed Crop Top from New Look

I have a massive obsession with crop tops! They’re just so cute and I was missing this gorgeous mint greet colour from my collection so I just had to get it. I think crop tops are so easy to dress up or down, depending on the occasion. At the moment I usually wear them when I go out to town around the clubs so I usually wear it with a nice skirt or some dressy shorts, my leather jacket, and a pair of heels.

I bought this when it was reduced to £5 but it is now has further reductions and is just £3. 

Pink Tropical Print Runner Shorts from New Look

Okay, so I don’t know why New Look have described these shorts as pink because unless I’m colour blind, these shorts are most definitely red but I’m just going to go along with what the store called them…

Anyway, I really love loose fitted shorts and these are super cute and above all else, comfy. Like the crop tops, these shorts can be dressed up or down. I usually wear these with a coloured crop top (usually yellow) or cami top with a pair of heels and a nice jacket.

I really love the pattern of these shorts and the colours, and they are now definitely one of my favourite shorts to wear.

These are currently £7.00 in the sale.

Orange Flip Lock Backpack from New Look

I’ve had my eye on this beautiful bag for so long now but I could never really justify spending £24.99 on a bag that I didn’t exactly need. But with New Look having a massive sale on at the moment, this bag has been reduced to £12.00 and I finally got to buy it.

I love backpacks and this bag is big enough to fit in all your essentials without getting too full. I also adore the colour, I really love orange and I think this is a great accessory to liven up my style.

Velvet Stone Drop Choker from Claire’s Accessories

I have never worn a choker before but I absolutely love this particular choker from Claire’s Accessories. It’s quite gothic and unique but the purple drop adds a bit of girly touch to it. Price: £5.00

Choker from Topshop

Topshop have a massive sale on at the moment and I managed to grab this gorgeous choker for just £4. I really love the tribal look this choker has and I think it’s great for dressing up an outfit. I think chokers may become my new favourite fashion accessory.

Pack of 6 rings from Primark

I lack a lot of accessories and at the time of my shopping trip, I was on the hunt to find some cute but cheap jewellery to liven up my outfits. I only wanted cheap as then I don’t need to worry about losing them on a night out and I thought Primark would be my best shot. They had some really good rings but I was particularly drawn to these gorgeous tribal type rings. I really love the big one with the red stone in the middle but all are equally as unique and as pretty as the last. I got the medium sized pack (there was no large left) and found all the rings come in different sizes and there are 3 small ones for the pinkie finger. I’m really happy with my find and this pack of 6 rings cost just £3.

Straw Hat from a Market Stall

 

I adore straw hats and they’re kind of a necessity to me in the summer months due to my hair skin and hair – having a red sun burnt scalp is soooo not a good look. I think this straw hat is really cute, yet simplistic. And at just £5 at my local market, I couldn’t resist.

So, that’s all my shopping buys this week! I hope you liked them. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

‘New Look’ Finds of the Week

As much as I probably shouldn’t, I always find myself on the New Look website adding my favourite items to the shopping basket.  Here’s what I bought this week:

Black Ribbed Long Sleeve Crop Top

Black Ribbed Long Sleeve Crop Top from New Look

Black Ribbed Long Sleeve Crop Top from New Look

I have always been a fan of crop tops and I think this black ribbed long sleeve crop top is perfect for a smart/casual look. Crop tops always seem a bit more dressy to me than a normal plain t-shirt and this would look perfect paired with jeggings and heels. The top falls just above my belly button so if you do wear this with pants or shorts, a small strip of stomach will be on show. I get quite conscious of having my belly on show (I’m really not toned enough for that!) so I prefer to pair this top with a high waisted skirt  so I don’t have to be paranoid about my stomach bulging out. This top is great for winter due to the long sleeves and is great for wearing for a night out with the girls. If you do decide to wear it with a nice pair of trousers, I recommend throwing a nice jacket over the top to take the emphasis away from the stomach area if you start to feel a bit conscious like me. Price: £8.99

Red V Neck Cami

Red V Neck Cami from New Look

Ever since the cami top became popular last summer, I have become a massive fan of this simple yet gorgeous style. In total I have 5 cami tops in different colours so I simply could not resist when I saw this beautiful bright red cami top online. I don’t find much use of them in the cold winter months but I was worried this colour would not be available in summer and so had to buy it straight away. Cami tops are loose fitting and are very flattering to most body shapes. It is made from a very thin, light material so is perfect for hot summer days. I usually wear this top with shorts and sandles for a casual, summer look but it would also look great with dark jeans/jeggings, a blazer and a pair of cute block heels for a beautiful evening look. Price: £9.99

Dark Red Diamond Embossed Shell Top

Dark Red Diamond Embossed Shell Top from New Look

Dark Red Diamond Embossed Shell Top from New Look

This is my favourite buy of the week! I love this gorgeous deep red/burgundy colour and the diamonds on the top makes it stand out and look sophisticated. It also has a cute little zip detail at the back.  This top is loose fitting so looks very flattering once on. This top looks great paired with dark jeans and heels or with a pair of black leggings (or if you’re feeling brave, pair with some gorgeous leather look leggings). I found I did not have many ‘going out’ top so was in desperate need for some lovely tops to wear when I go drinking and dancing with the girls and this top definitely stood out for me. This is great for a smart casual look and the material is thick so you won’t be able to see your bra through the material. Price: £12.99
