Clothing Haul - ASOS & Miss Selfridge

Hi Everyone! So if you haven't already guessed from the title of this post, I have a fashion haul for you. So Spring is finally here which means there is a new season of clothing,which isn't so good for someone who is on a spending ban (which obviously didn't last long! Yikes!) I feel as if winter has lasted forever and seeing the new Spring season,just made me want all of it! So I went a little crazy online shopping the other week and so I thought I would share with you what I got.


ASOS is where everything got a little spendy! I could spend a lot of time and money browsing and purchasing from there. It's one of those online stores that just do everything you could possibly need. I did get quite a bit from ASOS although as you can see.....not a lot of colour.








This is part of Jack Wills new season range,Jack Wills is one of my favourite brands. Their clothes are such good quality and worth every penny.This sweatshirt is definitely a great staple to my wardrobe,can be paired with any outfit. Even though it's Spring, in the UK that doesn't mean that the sun will be shining and it will probably still be cold. So although I'm getting rid of all the layers,I'm not quite ready to go sleeveless as it is still quite chilly. ASOS have been stocking Jack Wills for quite a while now which is very handy indeed and it was £39.50 | BUY HERE


























This top is plain and simple and I will probably be able to pair this with most things. It's a high neck cami top which is perfect for Spring/Summer and it's a gorgeous pastel pink colour. This particular cami top is from the ASOS collection,I have had their clothing before and it's great quality for the price. This particular top was £12.00 | BUY HERE












 No matter what season of the year it is, there will always be rain here in the UK. I had been looking for a rain jacket for quite a while and whenever I spotted this on ASOS,I fell in love. There was only one left at the time in all sizes and I thought that it was just meant to be. So I added it to my basket immediately and it's just as nice in person (although this photo doesn't do it much justice) The inside of the jacket has a beautiful floral pattern and denim pattern. I liked that it was cream because I can easily put it on with any outfit,perfect for those spring showers! This is from Bellfield and is really good quality,although it is really hard to get the hold of it. It was rather pricey at £57.00 | BUY HERE
The next addition to my wardrobe were these gorgeous Vans Pebble Snake Print slip on trainers. I think these are so simple and chic and will go with pretty much anything. I will most likely wear these with skinny jeans and a simple grey t-shirt. I have worn these already and they are incredibly comfy. I know that I could of got a cheaper version but there's just something I like about Vans and the quality is really good,these will definitely be worn a lot in the Spring/Summer. These were £55.00 | BUY HERE

One thing that I lack of is jewellery,other than my Pandora, I don't wear much jewellery. So I just had a little glance at the jewellery section on ASOS and had to buy something. So I ended buying three things.



One thing that I was in desperate need of were new earrings,I always seem to lose them. In fact I should've probably bought a jewellery box. (oops!) I treated myself to these gorgeous Ted Baker Crystal Stud Earrings,they're simple studs that I can wear everyday. These are the most perfect colour and design for all year round,definitely a great purchase. These earrings were £25.00 | BUY HERE





Whenever I ordered this, I thought it was an ordinary ring but it turns out it's a midi ring. I don't own any midi rings because I wasn't so sure if they would suit me or not but whenever this came,I really did like it. I love the design and it's such a simple little ring to set off an outfit and it was only £4.00 | BUY HERE



























The last piece of jewellery I got was this pendant necklace. It was cheap and simple and I know that it will just help complete an outfit. It was a sneaky purchase and I thought to myself,it doesn't cost all that much so why not? (I should probably get rid of this attitude). If you like a simple,minimalistic necklace then this is perfect for you. I'm not sure exactly sure how much this was and it's not available on ASOS anymore unfortunately,so I guess I got it on time.


























Lastly, I was on the Miss Selfridge website and there was so many nice things I was lusting over but typically over on that store everything I liked was out of stock. I was able to get my hands on this chic little tshirt and I think it's perfect for Spring or all year round in fact. The beaded writing adds a nice little touch to the simple grey tshirt. The perfect addition to my wardrobe indeed and it was only £14.00, unfortunately they aren't available online at the moment but I've linked up a similar tee. | BUY HERE


So,that's it for this clothing haul. I definitely think I have a nice little range of things in my wardrobe now, for all weathers.

Have you bought anything for your Spring wardrobe lately?

Watch Envy



Marc by Marc Jacobs Baker Ladies Watch 
Marc by Marc Jacobs Baker Ladies Watch
Daniel Wellington Classic Winchester Ladies Watch 
Michael Kors Parker Ladies Watch 
Kate Spade Ladies Watch 

I have been wanting a really nice watch for a very long time and if I had all the money in the world I would probably have a cabinet full of them but even one of these beautiful watches would be right up my street.

Jewellery is something that I don't buy very often,I do love designer jewellery (especially watches) although there is a lot of saving required. I'm always on the look out for some amazing new watches to add to my collection.There are shops that I always go to first for designer labels. Goldsmiths is usually great for designer jewellery, ASOS is great for a mixture of affordable and designer watches as well as free delivery and Selfridges has a good range of designer labels. I thought that I would share a little wishlist of some of the ones that have caught my eye incase any of you are looking for a new time telling accessory.

Monthly Favourites | February

Hi everyone! Can you believe that it's March already? This year needs to slow down, I know that February was a short month but it really has flown by. It has been a fairly busy month...which is probably why it has went so quickly. Back to the point - my February favourites. These are the things I have been loving this month....



BEAUTY FAVOURITES |

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette | Link - I got this early this month and I have been using it ever since. I had been holding off on getting this palette because it is really expensive but I finally splurged out on it and it's worth every penny. It just adds a soft focus effect to your skin and just completes my whole make up look. This is now a part of my everyday routine. I sweep the more bronzed powder over my cheeks and the other two shades as a highlight. This product is so pigmented and it just leaves your skin looking gleaming from with in. I cannot put into words how beautiful this palette is. Madly in love with this product.

Lorac Pro Palette | Link - I just got this palette for Christmas and I have been using it everyday since, it is easily the best palette I own. The palette has 16 shades, ranging from the light to dark shades, it has the perfect combination of matte and shimmer shades. This palette has the most pigmented and beautiful shades yet and this is why I love it. This is just a really great palette with the most flattering shades for everyone. I adore it.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara | Link - This sample was in this month's Elle Magazine. It claims to grab,separate,lift and curl the lashes and it also claims that you don't need eyelash curlers and it does everything it says on the tin. Even the sample size is easy to apply,the wand has a nice subtle curve which hugs the lashes and doesn't budge in the slightest. It lasts all day and I cannot wait to buy the full size because my sample has ran out, I have been using it every day and it's a fantastic mascara. I love it.

Nars Audacious Lipstick | Link - I have used this lipstick so much this month. It has been a part of my everyday makeup routine because it's the most beautiful nude lipstick that I own. It is the most beautiful creamy texture and is weightless so it doesn't even feel like there's lipstick on your lips. It glides on smoothly in one single stroke,definitely worth the money. My favourite lipstick by far.

SKINCARE FAVOURITES |

Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment Mask | Link - I have had really bad skin this month and this mask has been an absolute saviour. I absolutely HATE blackheads and this mask just draws them out,shrinks the pore size and leaves my chin area (where most of my blackheads are) looking and feeling clean and fresh. I have used this quite a lot this month and it has cleared up my skin completely.

OTHER FAVOURITES |

90210 - All I ever seem to do these days is watch Netflix and I have watched this everyday this month. It is definitely worth the watch. I'm nearly on the last episode so that just proves how much I love it. Highly recommend it!

Kodaline Coming Up For Air
- This album was just released this month and I have been loving it! I really like Kodaline and have been listening to their music for quite a while now and this album is so good. Definitely worth the listen.

Imagine Dragons Smoke and Mirrors - This is another album which has been released this month and it is absolutely amazing. I love Imagine Dragons and I love nearly every song on this album,it's great. Again,definitely worth the listen.

Well that's what I've been loving this month,I will also be trying to upload a new post every Sunday from now on.
