River Island Loves

All Clothing - River Island

Red Velvet boots - Rocket Dog or New Look

My Necklace - Miss Selfridge

My Earrings - Primark

Myself and mother went for a little stroll around Swindon town center today to look for homey things to go in my family's newly cleaned house. However it may have turned solely into a shopping trip. Maybe.

Still having not been paid I had a little cry inside every time I found something wonderful (which always happens when you have no money!) Especially when I arrived at River Island! 

I've never been the biggest River Island fan as, although I am a little out-going with my sense of style, their clothing has always been a little TOO out-there for me. However today, I found myself wanting everything they had in! So I had to take myself a few cheeky dressing-room snaps, to remind myself what I HAVE to purchase when I receive payment.

As we all know, burgundy is a massive colour this season and when I spotted this super soft cardigan I fell in love! It had tiny little golden beaded studs all over it, and more-so on the cuffs. However, it was £35, which I though was a little steep, but maybe that's just me. Please make it £25 River Island, please.

This Floral skater skirt I also fell in love with. This print and colours are gorgeous and I have had a real big thing for skirts, and especially skater skirts lately. I feel they are really complimentary on my figure. Actually, my mum bought this for me because I kept repeating how much I loved it, I love her!

These Velvet Rocket Dog boots weren't actually in River Island but I found them in Treds for £40 and were the ones from my wish list! Pay day come soon. 

And Finally this adorable Pleather skate skirt. I have been after one of these for ages and this one was such a fab fit! If you do not yet own one of these, I suggest you go grab one up! They are so cute and fashionable  and definitely in my good books at the mo!

Extremely sorry for the essay, Sophie xxxx

Multi-Pastel Bobble

I would being lying if I said I wasn't nervous, as this is my first official 'outfit post'. Although, it isn't so much an outfit post as a 'hat and nails post'. This is purely for the fact that, being cameraless, these are taken on an iPad, and using timer is an issue. 

Firstly, I'd like to start with a 'how awesome is this hat?!' I found it in a charity shop a few days ago for £1.50!! Bargain! I love the multicoloured pastel wool used and the huge bobble on the top. It reminds me of that 'special wool' we used to be allowed to use occasionally for crafts in Primary school.

The lipstick I am wearing in a hot-pink shade in unlabelled packaging. I picked it up at a Car-boot sale a few weeks ago (It was completely sealed, don't worry!) I liked the colour, and still do, however it does feel a bit 'wet' on my lips and comes off quite quickly.

I painted my nails using Barry M 'pink silver glitter - 337' and Models Own 'Ibiza Mix - Hk04' on the thumbs. You have to use several layers of the Ibiza mix if you're not layering it on top of another colour, which I haven't done properly here as I was running out of time whilst doing them. Whoops.

And lastly, the polo shirt I am wearing, am practically LIVE in nowadays!! I was going through super old clothes my Mum had from years and years ago that she wanted to put in a car-boot sale and found it, needless to say, I nabbed this one up before it went in!

Thank you to all of my new followers since my last post, it means so much to me and I'm so glad I'm getting into blogging!

Dress - £11 - Primark 

Having no job at the moment leaves me very tight for money. But there are reasons why I am currently jobless so it's okay. But i try not to let myself leave the house as I don't want to face myself with temptations. However today, I DID leave the house and managed to spend £50. Although I got a bargain jumper and plain stripey t-shirt from a charity shop and an AMAZING dress from Primark. I originally found this dress online on the Look website, but did not realise what material it is. I hate it, that lycra, spandexy feel material that clings to your body and shows all of your lumps and bumps. But I loved the print so much I had to buy it, I just may have to wear my Bridget Jones pants when I wear it.

Going for gold!

The last week I have managed to snap up some amazing sale buys, especially in the jewellery section. 

Since living a 5-7 minute walk from town, it's so easy just to get up and have a look around (also lethal though, if you ask me, since I don't yet own a money tree.) 

Now, I never have been, and probably never WILL be a silver person. Jewellery wise, I have always worn gold. Don't ask why, that's just how it's always been. Now, as we are in light of a very 'gold-themed-England' due to the Olympics, I thought I'd show you the few pieces I've snapped up this week

Dorothy Perkins - £2 down from £16

Dorothy Perkins - £2 down from £10

Primark - £1 down from £4

Miss Selfridge - £1 down from £10

Topshop - £3 down from £16

Those that know me know that I am an extreme high-street shopper, but most of all, an extreme sales shopper. Never having had too much money, I can never quite find the point in spending £12 or so in a necklace, which is the going rate these days. So I get all giddy when I find buys like these. 

Anyone else found any bargain jewellery lately?
