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.

H&M Haul

Another splurge I shouldn't have made! But I got a voucher from Grazia magazine for 25% off everything in H&M and ended up taking a trip to my local branch and leaving with some real wardrobe staples!

This loose fit berry jumper fits like a dream and is so snug and warm layered over dresses or with leggings or skirts! Super versatile and at only £14.99 (plus my 25% off!) I had to have it.

This embellished collar blouse was only £14.99 too! I spotted it a few weeks ago but have been trying to wear what I already have to work and resist any new purchases until the January sales... until I convinced myself that the 25% off equals being on sale!

Finally this is the biggest bargain! I could not believe it when I saw the price tag - can you believe this was only £9.99?! It fits a treat and will be easy to throw on with plenty of different clothes for a lazy winter look.

Have you made any accidental purchases lately?

I Want Never Gets... Firetrap

I bought a Firetrap coat when I was 18 and to this day it is my favourite coat of all time. Unfortunately coats are not immortal, and my beloved coat is no longer with us, but here are a few of my choices from Firetrap's latest offerings. I love their blend of berry autumnal shades with neutral tones like grey - perfect for layering up with this winter!

I love loose knits this year, and think this grey jumper would suit most body shapes and be an ideal way to add a bit of layered warmth to any outfit. I could see myself pairing this with a berry playsuit for a dressier look, or just some black skinnies for a lazy afternoon snuggled up on the sofa. £65 from Tucci - Click!

Another knitwear item that I would love to get wrapped up in this winter! I have always had a bit of a thing for oversized collars as they keep your neck warm even without a scarf! I think this could certainly keep you snug on warmer winter days when you don't quite fancy wearing a coat, but also be a staple under your coat on those freezing-your-fingers off days when you want to wear as many layers as possible! £90 - Click!

How dreamy is this blouse? It's just stunning, the colours are spot on for wearing in winter. I could easily wear this to work with a pencil skirt but it would also look fab with jeans for a family function over Christmas or New Year. I can tell the fabric is soft and light and the pattern is just beautiful! Currently on offer at Tucci for £48. - Click!

Another absolutely stunning pattern, this tunic reminds me of some of the offerings from All Saints. I think I could easily team this with tights and a chunky knit for a Christmas meal with friends, or just a pub session after work. Pair it with heels for a more glammed up look that would be ideal for a work Christmas party! £75 - Click!

Finally, who doesn't love a cute pair of little tweed shorts? I used to have some really similar to these but I lost a bit of weight and they don't fit me anymore so had to be eBayed! I think tweed shorts are such a simple and easy look to pull off in autumn or winter, especially with woolly tights and a big snug jumper (maybe the grey one I raved about above?) £45 from Tucci - Click!

Do you own anything from Firetrap? Are you a fan of their autumnal hues?
