Haulin #8

Evening! 
I did a bit of clothes shopping recently, and thought I would show you the things I bought :)
I also bought some accessories/jewelry but I am going to save them for another post!


 I bought three dresses. The first is by the brand Rare at Topshop, and was in the sale for £10. It's the most beautiful blue colour, quite dark but still nice and bright! This is a really flattering shape, as it is tight on the top, then kicks out from the waist, and has long sleeves and a criss cross detail on the back. The only drawback to this dress is that it's made from weird material, that feels like it's going to snag easily, but I'll just have to be really careful when I wear it!

The next thing I bought, I am soo excited about! I was going to buy this red Topshop dress when it was full price at £48, but I couldn't justify it at the time, and got it for £20 in the sale! This is also quite flattering, and super cute! 

The last dress I bought was from H&M. I have this dress in a few designs already, as it's also very flattering! It's got capped sleeves, a tight top and a flared skirt. This is a bargain at £12.99 and I thought the bird print was really cute and retro. The fact that I also get staff discount also doesn't hurt! 

 Lastly, this gorgeous maxi skirt also from H&M, for £19.99. This is one of those skirts with a shorter, tighter skirt underneath, and a flowy, sheer layer over the top. I was originally looking for a pair of denim shorts, as I don't have many summery clothes, but I could not find ANY that fit me right! In the end, I went for this instead as I thought it would be an easy to wear summer piece :)

If you want to see any of these on, I did a video here :)

Thanks for reading! Feel free to link me to any haul posts :) Also, does anyone have any recommendations on shops for denim shorts?!

P.S Sorry I couldn't link most things, couldn't find them online!

Wednesday Wants #16




Wednesday Wants #16

Pleated dress
Was £32 now £15 Topshop





Afternoon all! 
Another late Wednesday Wants this week! 
My excuse is that I sprained my ankle this week so I have spent my
time moaning, feeling sorry for myself and keeping my ankle elevated!
On the plus side, at least it's taught me that drinking lots and then 
attempting to walk in the rain isnt a good idea, in fact it just
leads to embarrassment. And pain.

But anyway! Back to the point :) Last week I showed you some going
out style Topshop dresses that I fancied,  this week I am showing you some 
more casual/daytime ones, also from Topshop. Unfortunately, in the week 
since I created this set, alot of the dresses seem to have disappeared from
the site! Some of the dresses I could only find in the maternity style as well, 
but I am assuming that the non maternity versions will still be in shops :)
My personal faves are the swan dress, and the studded tunic.

What's on your wishlist this week? Any tips for sprained ankles?!
