Summer Clothes Haul

Hey everyone.
It seems like forever ago I wrote a haul post! The main reason being my camera died and I had to find a replacement, I was considering a SLR, but then decided to go with a digital again until I get enough money to get a brilliant kick - ass SLR.

As summer is nearly here, I have been slowly building up my wardrobe with pretty dresses skirts and shorts. :) I went to London last month and I had a nice big spend up, I will show you some of things I bought from there plus a couple of online orders.

Topshop high waist hot pants.
Near where I live (in London) is an amazing market which mainly sells clothes, the latest fashion by brands like topshop,Zara,new look, asos, all saints etc
at cheap prices.
I got these topshop shorts for £10. in the shops they would have cost me £35.

I love the detailing on the buttons.

Playsuit brand unknown £10
This playsuit is just so pretty. The colours are so bright and cheerful this came in a orange and pink design too, which I was tempted to get.

Topshop Heart Garland Ruffle Dress - £10
How gorgeous! this dress is very sheer so il have to find something to go underneath, the material is so lovely and lightweight there is a silk underlay too.
This is from topshop the tag has been ripped slightly as the stall owners have to do so, but I saw the dress on the display which had the un touched tag in, its defiantly from topshop and the price tag had £50 on it! £40 off = bargain!
Had to edit this - just found the link to the dress online click here it cost £100 from topshop USA!

New look dress - £10
This dress was the first purchase of the day, as soon as I arrived at the market It caught my eye and I ran over. I was very tempted to get the other colours too which is a more nude and pink. The price tag read £25 and I got it for £10!
Boohoo sandals
I got these a while back in the sale for around £5 on boohoo.com, I love the studs! I have yet to wear these.
Republic dress £10
I got this pretty dress in the republic sale, I think its last years stock,this is a strapless dress those are just the hanger ribbons :P
I'm waiting for warmer weather to wear this, I am going London again so may take it with me.

Thanks for reading, If you have any questions just ask me, and I hope to put the rest of my recent hauls up soon!
Have a great weekend!

My winter wants for 2010

It's the time of the year where you clear out your wardrobe of maxi dresses and shorts to make way for jumpers and cardigans. Goodbye summer, hello autumn and winter!
I have put together a few items I'm wanting this year. Every year I buy a new coat/jacket, along with a new scarf and gloves.

Knee high socks
This is a new fashion trend, and I must admit I'm loving it.
As seen above pixie is rocking those socks! it gives the outfit a cute girlie edge.
It may be cold, so its better to cover up with a jumper dress that sits just above the knees to keep you snug and warm.

Floral wellies
Snow in the north is quite deep and lasts for a few weeks, so wellies is a major must have.
I like any floral designs.
Republic bat wing jumper
I'm really loving bat wing top's and Jumpers at the moment. This knitted jumper looks perfect for summer and would team up with a pair of military boots that I'm in the middle of purchasing.

Boohoo boots
Every year I purchase a new pair of 'fake uggs' if that's what you like to call them, I do not have the money to splurge out on a real pair, even tho I would love to. These boohoo boots have a fur edge, which I have never bought, but thinking of doing so this year.

Boohoo knitted Cardigan
Any knitted cardigan is a must have winter want for me, I prefer grey to most colours, this boo hoo cardigan is perfect, I love the buttons and collar.

Boohoo military style jacket
I'm on the search for my 2010 winter jacket, I'm thinking of going military, if I do, this is the style I'm after.

Topshop jumper dress
I love love love jumper dresses, especially this one from topshop, Ive been after a 'Love' slogan jumper dress for a while, this paired with knee high socks and military boots makes a great outfit.

Topshop snood
Snood's are more popular then regular scarfs recently, I love them. You just pop them over your head and your good to go! this is my favorite winter want.

New look mittens
I'm loving mittens, they just look so cute, of course I will own a pair of gloves this year but I must get these! Cream or grey? decisions decisions!

New look beanie hat
How pretty is this hat? I'm thinking of getting a cream coat to go with this, its just adorable, I love beanie hats. Yorkshire is incredibly cold, I'm used to London weather which is slightly warmer, as it is a city and not so open. So a hat is essential.

Republic knitted jumper dress
Finally another jumper dress, yes I'm obsessed with them, but they go perfectly with black leggings or even jeggings.
A plain jumper dress like this with a few accessories, ugg style boots, is a great combination.

So there we have just some of my winter wants, I need to go shopping soon, as it is so cold!
I will show you all what I have purchased.
What is your must have winter item for 2010?
Let me know!
:)
