Collective Haul

First off- apologies for the shoddy picture quality. This is what happens when you haven't blogged properly in months and good habits are forgotten (don't even get me started on the amount of new products I've forgotten to take pictures of before I've used them)!
I came across this picture on my phone and thought I'd give a little run down of what I bought on a recent (ish) shopping trip. The top, skirt and necklace were what I wore on my birthday night out and I absolutely love them. A-line skirts are an absolute favourite right now. I think they're a really good shape on me; so much so that I've since bought this  same skirt in khaki. It was actually my mum who pointed out this necklace in Primark after me going on about how much I needed statement necklaces (after watching so much Gossip Girl). Compared to the ones I had been looking at in H&M which were all well over £10, this was a bargain and its really pretty. I always fear that Primark jewellery will break within one wear but this necklace has held up well as I've now worn it a few times. 
I also picked up some holiday bits. You can't go wrong with the sunglasses in Primark for £1 or £2: I buy a few pairs each year; they're cute and it doesn't matter if they break. These sandals were only around £4 and I wore them every single night on holiday- well worth it. As for beauty things from Superdrug I bought nail polish remover as a means of preventing myself biting polish off, Vitamin E Superbalm for cuticles and lips and Eyelure 101's- my favourite going out lashes. 

The Fashion TAG

Hey Everyone!

Yesterday I was tagged by the lovely Melanie from http://makeupisdelish.blogspot.co.uk/ to do the fashion tag and I thought it looked like a great one do to!

1. How would you describe your style?

I don't know an exact name but definitely girly, oxford style. I might try and incorporate different trends as they pass but mostly I stick to the same kind of thing. 

2. What are your wardrobe staples?

Peter pan collar blouses!

3. Most expensive item in your closet?

I thought about this for ages and I don't actually have an extraordinarily expensive items in my wardrobe. They're mostly in the under £30 range! Maybe my Hollister cardigan actually which was about £60, but I don't wear it very often and actually I'm not sure if I still have it!

4. Most wanted item?

Pretty much everything from Topshop. More specifically though, I would like new tops and another good pair of jeans.

5. Favourite designer?

Again, since most of my clothes are high street I have little experience of designers! I'll say Dior as I did a project on Christian Dior for school a few years ago and I got a Dior skirt (age 12) from TKMaxx about 5 years ago for £15 that I often still try and squeeze into!

6. How much do you spend on clothes?

It depends how much I go shopping that month or if there are sales on etc but in general I don't spend a lot on clothes maybe £30 a month!

7. What are your favourite stores to shop at?

There are heaps- I was actually considering a blog post on this? But H&M, Primark, New Look and Forever 21.

8. Favourite fragrance?

In my current perfume collection its Marc Jacobs Daisy but I have samples of Dot and Lady Million which I love too.

9. What's your favourite way to do your hair?

Ideal situation, curly, though I rarely curl my hair and when I do it usually fails so I get someone else to! On a day to day basis I have 3 hairstyles:

Hair down with side pattern, high ponytail, messy bun (those are in order of easiest to most time consuming, bearing in mind hair down takes less than a minute and messy bun takes 5 minutes)

10. What is your go-to outfit when you have nothing to wear?

Probably my trusty H&M skinny jeans and a collared top- I'm so predictable!

11. One fashion trend you wish would come back or stay?

I want peplums to stay because I really like my peplum. I also want to see the kind of tie-dye trend come back in summer as I bought dye and a pair of cheap shorts but never dyed them!

12. Show us your most prized possession in your wardrobe.

H&M skinny jeans- I never have them off, particularly at this time of year!

13. Tag some people.

Instead of tagging specific people, I thought I'd tag you all- anyone reading this! Be sure to let me know in the comments if you do so I can read yours!
