A Couple of Bits - H&M

Thank goodness it's Friday! This week has been a pretty stressful one for me - full of hospital visits, blood tests and health worries! But now it's the weekend, so we can all breath a collective sigh of relief! I plan to spend this weekend doing a nice mix of touristy things (if the weather holds up) and playing happy families with my boyfriend.

I popped into H&M on my lunch break a week or so ago, on the hunt for an oversized black jumper to wear over shirts and for layering in general - January may be almost over but it's not Spring yet!

Apologies for the horrendous photo - but how exactly do you make a boring black jumper look beautiful anyway? I wanted to share this with you as I'm sure some of you will also be on the hunt for a reasonably priced oversized black jumper too, and this one was £12.99 from H&M. Click!

Whilst in H&M I spotted this pretty little sleeveless blouse and couldn't resist picking it up! It was only £19.99 and the material is beautiful - it feels much more expensive! I think this will be ideal for wearing to work with a pencil skirt or trousers and a cardi thrown over the top, but also great for casual wear once it gets a bit warmer. Click!

Have you seen my blog sale? I'm selling lots & lots of stuff - mostly new or swatched once on my hand, including Rimmel Apocalips in Luna! Click HERE to have a peep.

ASOS A/W Haul

Whilst I was off work I did quite a bit of online shopping. ASOS had 25% off certain brands at the time so I picked up some A/W staples.

I love this statement necklace. I'd been after one for a while as I love the way a chunky knit looks with a necklace peeping through, but couldn't find one I liked anywhere. This one I love as it mixes metals which is one of my favourite looks. It was £10. Click!

I'd seen this Mango jumper everywhere - Kate Moss wears it on an advert, and was delighted to see it was reduced on ASOS! I've worn it loads already, it's a loose fit and I got a medium so it would hang nicely. It's so easy to wear with black skinnies or a skirt just to lounge around or for a shopping trip. £22.99 Click!

This sleeveless blouse is by Chelsea Girl at River Island. I'd seen quite a few things I wanted from River Island but didn't order as they don't offer free delivery and I always resent paying for delivery when I'm online shopping! It's light and looks great tucked into a skirt or with skinnies and a big slouchy cardigan. £20 Click!

Finally I picked up these cute little lacy socks for only £4 - they look fab teamed with sheer black tights and my new studded ankle boots! Click!

Also I just want to say a big WELCOME to my latest followers :) it always makes me smile when I see that a few new people have decided to stick around, so thank you! When we reach 100 followers I will be having a celebratory giveaway - let me know if there's anything in particular you would like as a prize!

I wanna see your Peacock!

Hello lovely people! Apologies for it being over a week since my last post, but Blogger was being all angsty through the week so this post about the new bits I got from Peacocks is a little delayed!

First up are these C-U-T-E floral denim shorts! I thought these were so adorable on the site, and look more Topshop than Peacocks! An absolute bargain at £10.67 as I got them on offer, they're still for sale for £16. I've already worn them out with simple green flats, a white vest & the cardi I also got from Peacocks. Linky!

This is that cardigan! I'm not much of a 'pink' person but think this coral/pink colour is really lovely and it looks fab next to my porcelain skin! It's perfect for cool Spring afternoons and will look great thrown over a little dress to keep the wind off. I got it for £12 but it's on sale for £18, still a good deal! Linky!

I fell head over heels for this amazing green formal dress when I saw it! It reminded me so much of the dress that Zooey Deschenal wears in 500 Days of Summer (in the wedding scene) - so I bought it and wore it to  my friend's wedding last weekend! It's beautiful, if a little pricey at £30, I got it for £20. Linky!

Another gorgeous dress - this is by Pearl Lowe at Peacocks and was much more expensive than almost all my other dresses but I am besotted with it. It's made from a lush chiffon-y fabric, and the cream tone is just perfect to wear in the Spring! It even has a little satin slip to wear underneath attached! I bought it for £26, on sale for £40. Linky!

The last dress I bought - 100% cotton, fabulous pale teal/green colour and unique pattern! Plus it fits me like a glove which is always nice! Basic summer dress, a bargain at £12 but still on sale for £18. Linky!

I also bought this basic white sleeveless blouse as I've been after one for a few weeks but didn't want to pay Topshop prices! I've already worn it out with high waisted jeans, and again with my black pleated midi skirt. Love it. I got mine for £10, still on sale for £16. I'm tempted to buy the gorgeous rust-y colour now! Linky!

Last but not least are these divine little blue polka dot pumps! I'm such a sucker for shoes, especially cute ones! Cheap as chips for £9, limited stock still available for £14. Linky!
