A/W Haul Part 2

A couple of weeks ago I posted part 1 of my autumn haul (here) so this is the second part. I have needed some new winter jumpers so that is mainly what this is so not particularly exciting!

Most of this is from Primark as I don’t really see the point in buying a £40 jumper when the Primark ones are just as good! So the first one is this lovely chunky turquoise blue jumper which actually looks a lot lighter in this picture but it really is such a lovely mint colour.

Also from Primark I picked up a couple of thin knit jumpers in the same mint blue colour and another in a dark blue with coloured fleckles in it. These are great for uni when I just want to chuck something on!

The other tunic top I got a little while ago from Vera Moda when I went on a shopping trip to Westfield. I really like this as it’s a nice smart top but I haven’t actually worn it yet, which is really bad! I think I kind of forgot about it! I will make sure I wear it this week haha.

Then I also picked up another pair of skinny jeans from Primark in a dark blue as they are so comfy! The studded shoes are from Primark too, which I know aren’t the most practical for the cold weather but I can suffer cold feet for these gorgeous shoes!

A/W Haul.. part 1

I say this is part 1 of my Autumn/Winter haul as there will probably be a few in the next month or so! I was in desperate need of some essentials now that the weather has changed and you can definitely feel a chill in the air. The items I got do feature quite a lot of black but I have hardly anything black in my wardrobe as I usually go for brown or grey so needed a change! I was in need of a pair of black skinny jeans and bought the ones from Primark for £11 which are so so comfy. You can’t go wrong for that price and I know I will get so much wear out of them. I’ve already bought a pair in a dark blue too! I also got these from the New Primark near Tottenham Court Road, it is such a big store and I could have spent hours in there but I had my boyfriend with me that hates shopping (especially in crowded places) so I had to resist tormenting him!

I also picked up a couple of pairs of black boots; the first from Primark which were only £20 and great for everyday wear, and the second are the ones that I know everyone has from Topshop, but I really like them and couldn’t find alternatives that were as nice!

I also got this faux leather jacket from Berska while in London as I needed a new “leather” jacket and like the contrasting material on the arms. This was £39.99 which I thought was a good price!

The two peplum tops were from Matalan and are £12 each but I got 25% off when they were having an offer. They are such good material too and I love the colours! I also got the black bag with the discount too but this is only £12 full price too!

And the final bits are the necklace and earrings I picked up in the New Look sale; the necklace for £2 and the earrings for £1.. bargain. I love that the earrings are vintage looking too!

I now need to look for a winter coat but not sure what to go for. I currently have my eye on this one and this one from Lipsy, althought they may not be the warmest of coats. What do you think? 

Statement Necklaces

I have quite a collection of necklaces and my statement necklaces seem to be growing fast. They have been a big trend over Spring/Summer and this is set to continue for Autumn/Winter. The great thing about a statement necklace is that it is a way to instantly dress up an outfit from day to night. I thought I would share some of my statement necklaces I have and some gorgeous ones that are on the high street at the moment.

 

1.      I have had this necklace for a long while now and can’t remember where I got it from. It does look a bit like a necklace Wilma from the Fintstones would wear but I love it! This looks great with a fairly high neck black top or dress.

2.      This necklace has also been in my collection for a while and I got it from Lipsy when I used to work there. It has a number of different types of chains entwined with one another to create a bold clustered necklace. This is good one to wear with an edgy rock inspired outfit.

3.       This is a more recent purchase from H&M as I was desperate to get a spiked necklace and love the layered chains on this one. I have worn this with a basic tee and jeans before to update the look.

4.      I bought this little beauty last week from Primark for £4 and it is my favourite at the moment! I love the iridescent colours in it and it is perfect for day or night. I have worn this with some printed trousers and plain cream top for a night out and it looks really good. I will have to do an outfit post on this when I get a chance!

5.      This is another I have had for a while and I actually forgot I even had it. Unfortunately I don’t know where this was from either but it really pretty on with a dress.

6.      This necklace is one I purchased from H&M as I love the neon yellow colour in the jewels. This instantly brightens a plain outfit and is a great colour for summer.

There are so many great statement necklaces about at the moment so here are a selection I like from other high street stores.
