Zara Wishlist.

We all love Zara, they never fail us high street junkies!

I bought these white ripped boyfriend jeans in the sale for like £10 or something silly! I LOVE them. This was the first time I have worn them as the weather hasn't really permitted it. This day was freezing but the sun was shining and no rain was forecasted so I bit the bullet! I teamed them with a simple black vest top, my black fluffy cardi, and h&m jacket, with my roshes. I was going to wear my black ankle boots, but was going to be doing a fair bit of walking, so I'll save them for next time. 

 

 

So, I went into Zara last weekend to see their new collection. There were many items I tried on and wanted to purchase but the bank balance is a little tight at the moment. Not the greatest of photos to follow-  especially as my mid-drift is out! 

This jumper - no words to describe my love for it. Probably not the most practical of tops, and it would be one of those items I buy for the sake of owning it and not actually wearing it. Come on, you all have at least one of these items in your wardrobe?! (Usually shoes?) But this jumper - bang on for the 'sheer trend' (afterthought - thats going to be my next blog.)

 

Since starting this post I have been on the Zara wesbite - I know why do I do this to myself? But I work at a computer and have my lunch at my desk - only means one thing... online wishing/ dreaming!

Beauties

 

 

Shiny

 

 

Perfect

 

 

 

Hurry up warmer weather - it is too cold to wear these and then they will be sold out by the time the sun is out!

 

Ugly but so right!

 

 

 

 

I'm not even going to post the clothes I saw online or else we will be here for even longer! Whats on your Zara Wishlist?

Sale Splurge

So recently, I have been feeling the 'I have no clothes' scenario. I do not have much disposable income this month, therefore can only buy sale or if I know I am going to get my wear out of the item. I saw this on Instagram the other day, and thought - 'that is sooooooooooooo me.'

This week I have been a lady of leisure, lunch dates on Monday and Tuesday, dinner date Wednesday evening... I have consumed lots of lovely food, but I am now trying to healthy eat and exercise, as towards the end of completing my degree, the healthy eating and exercise went out the window! (There's always room for a food shot.)

Tues my lunch date was in Nottingham, and us girls cannot have a lunch date without a little shopping!

First attempt at a selfie: (haha)

 

T-shirt: Asos

Jumper: Ebay

Skirt: Topshop

Socks and Necklace: Urban Outfitters

Coat: Topshop

Bag: Zara

Boots: Jeffrey Campbell from Office

Phone case: Ebay

 



The vintage shop COW is a shop I visit every time I am in Nottingham, and usually walk out with at least one purchase. The shorts were a steal as they were reduced. Originally, I wasn't a fan of the fringe/ tassel trend, but these shorts aren't too ott, or in your face. I don't exactly know what I'll wear with them yet, especially as I'm not going on holiday, but I'm sure I'll figure something out, and will post the outfit photos at a later date....

Cow Nottingham:  

 

 

H&M Nottingham:

 

This jacket wasn't in the sale, but if you hesitate in H&M the next time you go back for it, it won't be there! I think its the perfect statement jacket, tapping into the monochrome trend, without over doing it. I will prob wear this during the day with jeans and a tshirt and with my yellow Zara bag, for a splash of colour. The beauty of it being black and white, with only thin stripes is that I'm going to be able to throw it over more a less anything. Plus black and white is timeless.

 

 

Office Nottingham:

 

We went into Office with the intention of looking at the sale, it wasn't that impressive however, these beauties were...



 



As it was raining heavily this morning, my jog got postponed, so me and my sister thought we'd hit the Topshop sale nice and early! There was something of everything reduced; t-shirts, trousers, leggings, jeans, dresses. After a good look through the rails and about an hour trying on (prob a slight exaggeration there, but it wouldn't have been the first time I've spent an hour in their changing rooms! lol) we got the best buys I thought that were there...

 

 

The Dungarees:

 



I have already done a post on dungarees (take a look) and I have had my eye on this elephant one from Topshop for a while, and it has finally gone into the sale. (YAY)

 

 

Colour Play:

 

 A neon orange statement skirt, that I will wear in the day with a t-shirt, sandals (weather permitting) or boots, or in the evening with a tank or cami tucked in with heels.  I couldn't resist the fun vibrant jumper, which has obviously taken inspiration from the Kenzo jumpers everyone is wearing, but with that price tag, I doubt I will ever own one. One can dream tho. The black maxi skirt is an investment as can be worn now and in the winter with chunky knits, the slit is a bit sexy, eh?

 

 

Back to Basics:

 

These are just everyday items, that every wardrobe will welcome, obsessing over the neon orange, so a chunky knit in that colour is perfect for this 'cant make my mind up' weather. It can easily be tied around the waist, if the sun does decide to appear for an effortless stylish look. The grey jersey midi dress, will take me from day to night, so that couldn't be left on the rails. We 'ummmed' and 'arrrred' about the skirt, but decided this could be worn with the over sized boyfriend t-shirts previously blogged about...

 

Finishing Touches:

 





Statement necklaces can update any look, and I love to wear as many rings as possible! So here is the bling... (p.s how cute are the zebra socks.)

 

 



Have you hit the sales yet.... you know you want too

Say what?

I can't believe I'm only just blogging again. I literally drowned in my Uni work... hardly slept, was ill and extremely stressed! But it's all over now, and I'm just awaiting the results! The only spare time I got towards the end, was to eat and go to work! So blogging was out of the question, even though I really wanted too.

No excuses now tho.. So here is the first of many to come as I am now a lady of leisure, Ha, I wish. Its all about the job hunt now. I have managed to have some chill time tho, which has been nice, spent alot of time catching up with the fam and playing with my nieces and nephew. Obv I went out and partied hard on the day I handed in my last assignment, I was out till the club turned it's lights on! Say what? I know, so unlike me.

All my hair has been chopped off! A very spontaneous decision, but I love it...

Since my last post, my shoe collection has grown, and a few new items of clothing have been added to the wardrobe. :-)

So here are the photos to sum up the past 3 months. Say what? I didn't realise it had been that long. Opps.
