London Haul

My boyfriend took me to London for my 21st as i mentioned in my previous post and of course when in London you shop!! So here are a few... of my purchases from the weekend as well as a couple i have bought since arriving back at uni! Sorry in advance about the picture quality of some of these i haven't got round to using my new camera yet!

Urban Outfitters - I have been looking for a black long sleeve crop top for soo long now. You cant see on the picture but the fabric is also ribbed which adds a bit extra to a plain black top.This will look great with high waisted bottoms and a tartan scarf! I also picked up this beautiful playsuit!! Its quite summery but will be nice in the autumn with some thick tights and boots.

Tk Maxx - These were from the shoe clearance aisle for only £8. I didn't need them but I love the funky leopard print pattern and these would look great with black jeans on a casual day.

Topshop - I featured this cropped jacket in my latest ootd, but i also bought these beautiful oxblood velvet high waisted shorts which look great with this jacket. The colour is so appropriate for A/W and i will be getting lots of wear out of these. The necklace was a last minute purchase which was £10, statement jewellery is still one of my favourite things to jazz up an outfit.

Gilly Hicks - I actually think i prefer Gilly Hicks underwear as opposed to VS nowadays,i think the colours are more fun and young. I picked 5 pairs up for £20 which i'm not sure is good in comparison to other shops but i was happy with my purchases and i love the signature scent they spray them with!

Calzedonia - I am a big fan of this shop! I also have another pair which i have worn to death so when i'm in London this place always gets a visit. I love this style with the textured strips down the side,they remind me of riding style pants,these were £20 which come in a fair bit cheaper than the similar ones in Zara.

Primark - If you have ever been to Primark on Oxford street on a weekend then you will have experienced hell, it is the busiest place to be and you really cant find what you're looking for or have a pleasant browse. I had been looking for these cute muppets pjs in my size everywhere and of course the Oxford Street store pulled up trumps,these were only £10.

Leather skirt + Top - I also picked up this quilted faux leather skirt which i have seen on soo many blogs which was only £10! Another thing which will go with most colours but i picked this top to go with it and if you can see on the second photo its has a lovely ribbed texture to it,this was £6.

Boots - My current cleanser just hasn't been cutting it with removing my eye makeup so after asking for some recommendations the lovely Laura Loves suggested this Garnier one which she has likened to as a Clarins dupe so i am expecting great things from this! Since coming back to uni all my nails have decided to break off, they have never been so short boo so i decided to invest in something that can hopefully help strengthen my nails!

Models Own - The models own stall in Westfield is amazing,there is literally too much choice but i picked out the colour Emerald city which is a great glittery colour for the christmas period!

I hope you enjoyed reading! What do you think of my purchases? Do you own any of these?

OOTD - Monochrome print

Playsuit - Urban Outfitters(old)// Sandals - Topshop// Necklace - Primark// Bracelet - Accesorize

Sadly i think this warm weather might have come to an end now,i wrote this post up on Friday and its been raining ever since! I love this playsuit which i purchased last year and luckily the monochrome patterns are still in trend, its such a comfy and thin playsuit that its perfect for hot days (not today then!). Yes, its those Topshop sandals again!!I really should have bought more shoes this summer haha. Of course I had to team it with my neon accessories as i think it really brings out the colour against the black and white.

Thank you for reading, I hope you're all having a lovely weekend,now bring on the autumn outfits!What do you think of this outfit?Do you like the monochrome trend?

WAH Nails

I am completely obsessed with following WAH nails on Instagram, their designs are amazing and i am lusting over every design! Whenever i next end up in London i am definitely taking myself down to WAH nails in the Oxford street store of Topshop for a manicure, the only problem would be deciding what design to go for! You can check them out here if you want to find out more about what they do.

Much to my delight towards the end of last year i discovered they had a nail art book and i bought this from Urban Outfitters for £9.99 (buy here). It features 25 nail art designs with a full set of instructions which are really easy to follow,it also has other pages of inspiration and the current nail designs they offer in store and if you want to design your own nail art there is a space for that too!I love this book so much and i have attempted most of the nail art designs,i'm no WAH nail artist though sadly. Here is one of my attempts of their basketcase nail design!

Above are the nail art pens that i have been using,i picked these up in urban outfitters while i was in Sweden so unfortunately i don't know the cost in pounds, they are fab though, and they can be used as a nail art pen or a nail varnish and as well as this, attached to the bottom is lots of gems which are colour coordinated to the varnish colour. The possibilities are endless!

Thank you so much for reading,please feel free to comment below i love hearing from all of you!What do you think? Have any of you got this nail art book or had a your nails done by WAH?
