Huge Collective Haul!

Hi guys! Despite my promise to try and cut back on my spending it has failed miserably so far, and I just haven't been able to control myself haha! Here's a quick look at what I've been buying recently!

I got both pairs of these trousers when they were on special offer on the H&M website so they were only like £7 each, unfortunately they're no longer on offer so I can't remember the exact price! I love them both and they're perfect for summer days (if we ever get any!)

Grey Peplum T shirt - £7

Coral Sleeveless Blouse - £12.99

Picked these up at work today because it's pay day! The peplum t shirt is in the summer promo so it's reduced to £7 and I've been eyeing it up for a while! Its nice and casual and it's something I can throw on when I don't want to make an effort! 

The coral blouse is such a lovely colour and I've fallen in love with it! I got it in the white a few weeks ago and had to buy it again because I love it! It comes in loads of different colours, and I'm sure I'll have it in every one by the time we stop selling them! 

 Conscious Blouse - £10 

White Vest - £4.99

Can never have enough plain white tops! I loved the conscious collection and now this is in the summer promo I had to grab it! 

I couldn't believe the price of the white vest either so I grabbed it up, it's quite see through but it'll be perfect for a night out!  

Models Own - Aqua Splash, Toxic Apple, Golden Shore - £5 each / 3 for £10 

I always seem to pick up some Models Own polishes when I go into my local boots, and I wanted to try the new Splash range, although I haven't had a chance to try them yet! And I love the neon polishes under UV lights on nights out so I picked up the green for a bit of a change! 

Ted Baker Wash Bag - £29

I've been lusting after this since I first laid eyes on it and nowhere that stocks Ted Baker in my local area seemed to have it, but when I was shopping with the lovely Sophie last week I saw they had one in John Lewis so I grabbed it up! 

Ted Baker iPhone 5 Case - £19 

I'm awful with phone cases and I always destroy them so I decided to invest in a more expensive one I know I'd take care of! This one matches my handbag and smells of water melon and I love it! 

Necklace - Topshop £10 

Had a mooch around the new Topshop in Central Milton Keynes with Sophie on saturday and I wasn't blown away by it but I did pick up this necklace and I have been wearing it ever since! I love it with shirts and I'm tempted to go back and get it in the silver! 

Overall I'm happy with everything I've got recently but I do really need to start saving if I want my dream car (or any car for that matter!) X 

*All H&M Products were brought with my staff discount 

Weekly Wants #7

1. Ted Baker Kassady Purse - £75 - I've been lusting after a Ted Baker purse for what seems like forever, but after spending that sort of money on a purse I'd have none left to have a use for it haha! But this one matches my TB bag I managed to grab in the post-Christmas sales so once my Student Loan goes in for the Summer term I may have to treat myself!
2. Black and White Striped Dip Hem Dress - £19.99 - New Look - I haven't really been that interested in New Look recently but a new stored has opened a few shops down from where I work so I thought I'd have a nose on their website and I've fallen in love with this dress
3. Urban Decay Beauty Balm - £23 - I've been having a massive crush on Urban Decay recently, and I'm wanting to try something a bit lighter in the hope that summer will eventually appear so this seems like the ideal choice, right?
4. Benefit Sun Beam - £18 - I am a massive fan of Sun Beam, and my mini is slowly getting more and more over-loved, so it's about time I replace it! However I've recently purchased Urban Decay's Naked Flushed palette (Review coming soon!) and I've found myself reaching for that over my Sun Beam so I'm wondering is it worth buying a full sized or repurchasing another mini?
5. Blazer - £24.99 - H&M - Got this Blazer from work a few weeks ago in the baby pink and I love it, so I'm really considering getting it in the grey as well.
6. Spike Platform Wedges - £14.99 - Daisy Street - Any of my wishlists wouldn't be complete without a pair of my much lusted after 'BangBang Shoes!' I am in desperate need of a new pair of black wedges after my last pair sadly saw their end after an evening of Sambuca shots on Valentine's day evening :(
7. Lip Crayon in Secret Party - £7 - Topshop - I'm a massive fan of Topshop make up and I have loads of their lip products, but since spontaneously dying my hair pink a few weeks ago I've ditched my trademark red lippy in favour of something more complimentary of my hair colour! I love this shade and haven't tried any of Topshop's Lip Crayons yet so this seems like a pretty good choice to start!
8. Dragonfly Necklace - £6 - Accessorize - Dragonfly's are really symbolic to me and I always wear a dragonfly pendant on a chain around my neck but saw this in Accessorize recently and I'm kicking myself for not picking it up!

Weekly Wants #2

Hi Guys! Sorry I've been absent the past few days, everything has happened at once so I've been a bit pre-occupied with personal things but I'm back now and I've missed you all! I've got quite a few posts planned for next week but I thought I'd bring you my weekly wants! 

1. Some Sunshine! - How terrible has the weather been recently?! We've had some heavy showers all evening, but even when it's hot here it's really muggy and horrible :( I'm sure we've all heard and seen the horrible floods up North! Think we all need a nice holiday :) 

2. No7 Beautiful Skin Hydration Mask £12.50 from Boots - My skin has been an absolute nightmare the past few weeks and nothing seems to be helping it, and I've heard a lot of good things about it so I think I may have to give it a try as the biggest problem for me is super dry skin :(! 

3. Teezerman Paw Print Mini Tweezers £14.50 from Boots - I have somehow managed to lose my tweezers, how is that even possible? So my logic is buy some really cute ones and I'd take better care of them and not lose them, will it work? Doubt it. 

4. Drummer Tank by Tee and Cake £22 from Topshop - Ahhh I love this! And I think I have a know a few drummers this will apply to! But after using the search tool it isn't available in any of the Topshop stores near me, so I think I might have a cheeky Topshop order soon! 

5. Princess Red Glitter Wedges £39.99 from Schuh - Sorry for posting about these twice now but I AM IN LOVE with these shoes. I've definitely decided on getting these on friday when I get paid, and I'm practically counting down the days until then! 

6. Cat Face Bag £8 from Matalan - I've seen some quite similar bags to these on eBay, but this is the first of the kind I've seen on the high street and I LOVE cats so this is perfect for me. Matalan also do a fox one so I'm tempted to get both. For £8 you can't really go wrong can you?!

7. Cat Face Shoes £16.99 from Amazon - lalalala I love cats. Now EVERYONE seems to have a pair of these shoes and I've been desperate for a pair for ages, even my mums got a pair! Can't decide between the black or the cream but I think I'll probably get the black first and then buy the cream later on!

My Weekly Wants is slightly smaller this week, it's always typical of me that when I'm about to get paid there's not much I want! Have you seen anything you're lusting after this week? X 

Summer Sales

It's come to that time of the summer when most high street stores have a huge sale on, and in typical fashion I completely forgot, spent all my money and now I'm left browsing wistfully at all the online sales. Below I've picked a few of favourite picks of the summer sales. 

1. Red Princess Glitter Wedges was £68 now £39.99 from Schuh - How gorgeous are these wedges? I always swoon over them whenever I go into Schuh and I'm so happy they're in the sale. I really hope they don't sell out before I get paid! They are also in the sale in other colours, including turquoise, navy and stripey. 

2. Lattice Back Playsuit was £30 now £15 from Topshop - I need a new everyday style Playsuit and this is perfect for me. I love the Lattice styling at the back and I think this would be pretty versatile, to wear with sandals on a warm day, or styled with tights and boots on a colder day. 

3. Aztec Jumper was £22 now £10 from Republic - I love Jumpers from Republic and this is a great neutral one which would go with pretty much everything 

4. High Waist Chinos was £32 now £18 from Topshop - I seem to go through pairs of Chinos so quickly, I always end up staining them or they shrink in the wash, but I really  like these high waisted ones so I might just pick them up next time I'm in Topshop 

5. Coral Spot Dress was £32 now £17 from Dorothy Perkins - I love this dress and it's perfect for a day in the sunshine, this would look really cute with sandals and a little cardigan, but my local Dorothy Perkins hardly stocks anything! 

6. ASOS Chain Handle Bag was £35 now £17 from ASOS - I am in desperate need of a new handbag. The lining of the one I usually use is all torn and I keep loosing money/ my keys/ everything in the hole and it's a nightmare. I love this and it's a nice casual bag that will go with most things 

7. Cobble Wedge Sandals was £55 now £30 from Office - for some reason I only have like 1 pair of sandals which is ridiculous so I really need another pair. Instantly fell in love with these because they're leopard print. Enough said really.... 

8. Conscious Collection Shorts was £19.99 now £9.99 from H&M - How cute are these shorts for a summers day? These would look lovely with sandals and a white blazer
