NEW YORK HAUL

So two weeks ago I was in NYC with the Mother, my friend Beth and her Mother. We are talking a proper girly 5 days here. It was one of my dreams and a thing to tick off the ol' bucket list to visit New York, and it was just as amazing as I had hoped. 

Although I didn't actually spend as much as I thought I would, I brought quite a few pieces. After deliberation I thought I would show you what I brought in video haul format to make life easier. However, I will admit, I feel so cringe when watching this video. BUT I have decided that Uni is nearly over and it is time to YOLO. So here it is guys.

P.S. my face at the end is a picture.

In The Name Of Fashion

Shoes - Next / Blazer - H&M / Top - Primark / Jeans - H&M / Bag - H&M / 

Sunglasses - Three Monkeys New York

So quite a few posts ago I featured these beauts little red pumps I brought from Next with a voucher the Grandparents gave me. Since then they have been waiting patiently in my wardrobe for the sun to come out enough that my feet can cope with out socks. I slipped them on with hearts in my eyes. A few hours later the hearts turned to tears as blisters overtook my poor little tootsies and ankles. 

EVERY TIME I buy new shoes I have to battle through the pain until my feet get accustomed!! All day I just kept on repeating to myself, "but they're so pretty".

All in the name of fashion huh?

Ready For Take Off

Jumper - H&M / Vest - H&M / Leggings - H&M / Boots - Office

So two weeks ago I headed to New York for 5 days. This was my 21st Birthday present from my Mother and Father, who have helped me tick a couple of things off my bucket list and made a dream come true. Oh gosh I do sound overly corny.

I had an AMAZING time!!! I will be uploading my first ever haul video to show you all the things I brought. I'm a little shakey but it's my first video. Anyways back to this post. I brought this cream roll neck jumper from good old trusty H&M (of course) to wear on the flight. It was so soft and cosy. I always get cold on flights so this was perfect. This is basically the outfit I wore on the plane, although I wore my brogues instead of the boots and had my leather jacket to throw over the top. 

Before we jet setted off, Mumma and I got our hair cut. Although you may not be able to tell, I got little bit of a fringe cut in as I wanted some form of change. I really like it although I'm constantly sweeping my blinkin' hair out my eyes. I may even be a dare devil next time and get my hair cut a little shorter. Oh my.

That Bomber Again

Jacket - Monsoon / Dress - H&M / Necklace - H&M / Boots - Office / Sunglasses - Topshop

These photos were actually taken around two weeks ago (if not longer), but there is no time like the present. Now the sun is starting to do it's thing again, I can start to wear this jacket a lot more. As I love wearing all black everything, this jacket is great for adding a subtle bit of colour.

Sheer Black

Kimono - H&M / Top - Primark / Jeans - H&M / Boots - H&M / Necklace - H&M

So after two months of waiting for this friggin kaftan to arrive, I finally received it! H&M is one of my favourite shops, but god damn is there online shipping service is crap. But as you may know, even just from this post it has not stopped me from shopping there. This kimono was £5.99. Yes, £5.99. Gosh I love a bargain. 

Anyway I can't wait to style this, and if I some how go on holiday I reckon it will be perfect as a cover up over a bikini. Bring on the summer!

Nicole X Missguided

Okay, so everyone is probably going on about this collection, BUT I have fallen for all the mesh and fishnet! I was a bit blasé about the whole collaboration when I first heard, but with its Kardashian feel, it has formed hearts in my eyes. As well as being understated cool items to easily add in to any wardrobe, they are affordable too. We praise you Missguided!

Here are the four main pieces that are wanting to be in my wardrobe.

Mesh Racer Crop Top £15

Faux Leather Biker Leggings in White £35

Shift Dress With Fishnet Panel in White £35

Long Sleeve Fishnet Crop Top £20

The Bomber Jacket

I actually got this beauts jacket for my birthday off the rents when they came down to Worthing to surprise me. But the weather has been way too awfully cold to show it off! But with the sun shining bright like a diamond today, I thought I'd shwep the bad boy out for its debut.

I saw this in the Milton Keynes Monsoon, I think in the October half term when me, the rents and Rich went to start some christmas shopping. I was looking for a present for my mother, but couldn't help try this on. Unable to afford it, I stepped away in sadness. Little did I know my shneaky Father would get a tip off from Richard and go get it for me!! Spoilt rotten!!!

How amaze is the colour and pattern though. Being a tad of a hippy, I love a bit of an ethnic print. This mixed with the bomber jacket design is a culture clash made in heaven. Bring on the warmer days so I can wear this everyday!
