Lots of Clothes

I seem to be going through a shopping phase at the moment. I'm always shopping but I go through phases of buying particular items such as books, shoes, beads, music, prints, nik naks, you get the idea. My current shopping craze is clothes. This is nothing new for me, I have 3 wardrobes jammed with pretty things, but I haven't bought any new clothes for a while and now I just can't stop buying things!

Maybe it's the change in weather, we had been having a few sunny (slightly) warmer days, though those have now gone and the weather seems to be very confused, not knowing whether it's snowing, raining, windy or sunny, it changes every 5 minutes.

But I digress.

Spring is in the air and springy, summery new clothes are everywhere, calling me to try them on and telling me to purchase them.

So, I thought i'd give you a peek of the pretties i've been purchasing.



Navy Cardigan - H&M

I have approximately 4 million cardigans, but I loved the sailor style look of this one with the gold button details.



Peach Frill Skirt - Urban Outfitters

I've been fancying this for ages and finally snapped it up when I trotted into Urban Outfitters in Cabot Circus the other day. And yes kids, they're opening one up in Cardiff very soon, so watch this space.



Grey Pointelle & Lace Vest - Urban Outfitters

The picture doesn't do this sweet vest justice. I love vests and along with the cardi's I have a more than a fair few, though I didn't have a grey lacy vest, so obviously I had to have this one.



Navy & White Polka Dot Dress - Urban Outfitters

Yes, Urban Outfitters again. Looks great with the new navy cardi.



Nude Frill Dress - H&M

I wore this dress to a show the other day and can't count how many people said they loved it, people actually stopped me in the street, everyone thought it was a vintage piece. After so many compliments I went back and bought the taupe version!

H&M have a few treasures this season. I hadn't been that impressed with them lately, nothing really took my fancy, but at the moment they have a few lovely pieces that are really worth looking at.
Sometimes I like something in there but when you put it on it can look cheap, and to be fair some pieces in there are very cheap, but you don't want it to look cheap!?! These dresses don't, when they're on they look like you bought them in a swanky boutique.

Along with the dresses I bought some very sweet vintage style ruffle collared tops in pale pink and red, both of which match the cardi, hoorah.



And to finish off my shopathon, a pair of Office shoes, i'm not sure if i'm going to keep these yet. Though I did think they'd look nice with my grey Falk leggings and polka dot dress.

  1. Hi!

    Just want to say that I really like reading your blog, it's so sweet and wonderful to look at like your jewellery!

    Your new purchases look lovely, but I can see why you're unsure about the shoes, they aren't in the same vein as the rest of your choices.

    Can't wait to see your stall in Wenvoe and get some more lovely things!

  2. Thanks Amy!

    I think the shoes are going back, i've spotted some Bertie sandals in a similar style but in tan and double the price (typical) I have fallen in love with them, and so the others are going!

    Be great to see you in Wenvoe, i'll have some nice new goodies.
