So someone (me) went on a little shopping trip last weekend and couldn't resist picking up a few bits as I find this is the perfect time of year to go shopping because I find all the best stock is out and I will never get enough of winter clothes!
Ok, you're probably all thinking 'I'm pretty sure you just brought a pair of black chelsea boots in your last haul what are you playing at?' but I regret to inform you after almost daily wear for a good 4 months they died and the sole started detaching itself *moment of silence*. Anyways, I realised as materialistic as it's sounds I cannot live without a good pair of chelsea boots, they go with everything and ah I just love them. I decided upon choosing this pair from New Look not only because they were in the sale for £13 (!!) but because I love how they were a little quirky and different with the elastic section being a slightly different shape compared to your bog standard chelsea boot.
I am a hater of those cardboard feeling tight skinny jeans - I'm one for comfort with clothing so these are the best thing I think I have potentially ever purchased. These are in fact leggings that look just like jeans and I've even asked my friends if they think they are leggings or jeans and they all said jeans. As well as having the comfort factor these have to be the most flattering item of clothing I own. Unlike regular jeans/ leggings they have been cut in such a way that they don't cling to weird places and the seams have been put in such an idea place that they make you legs look even more fabulous. plus they are high waited but not too extreme which I love love love! These are a new staple to my wardrobe - I got these from Next which is somewhere I never shop but maybe i will start to...
Also from New Look I picked up this little purse because I was in desperate need for a new one. I'm not completely in love with this one but it was a necessary purchase and hopefully I will find an ideal one soon. I just think this size is so practical.
On another note this jumper from New Look I am utterly in love with! It's your bog standard grey jumper that goes with everything but because of the altered stitching it makes it hand and look really flattering on. Plus its the perfect length between cropped and regular that it goes with any bottoms if it's a skirt, jeans, leggings ext.
I'm not usually one for following huge style trends because fashion always changes and to be honest it can be a pain/ a lot of money to keep up with. However I'm really loving this subtle turtle-neck trend going on at the moment and I think as its been modernised from an old classic that this could be around for a long time. I really like this one I found from one of New Looks brands 'Cameo Rose'. I don't know what else to say about this other than I love it and it's pretty flattering too - I think this pairs really nicely with the leggings I brought from Next *heart eyes*
Finally I made a cheeky trip into Boots. As usual I picked up my Collection Lasting Perfection concealer because mine has reached its last legs and dried up. I was also in need of a new foundation as I'm still on the hunt for the perfect one and I spotted L'oreal had a deal going on which meant I could buy two products for £14. I went ahead and got the Infallible foundation in the lightest shade going which is actually a perfect match and one of their lipsticks in '302 Bois De Rose' which I have already made a blog post about which you can check out
here.
I'll speak to you all soon,
